No, you have a problem. Blizzard should not be making scheduling choices based on people whom clearly have a problem. That’s like forcing you to drink like an alcoholic.

What? You wont have any queues thats not how layering works. If your server has 30k ppl logged in and has 3 layers that means its 3 layers of 10k ppl. If they remove layers then it will be 1 layer of 30k people, not 10k max with a queue of 20k.
Come Tuesday people will realize p2 didn’t do anything to current games except they might be experiencing the classic version of the shadow-lands a lot more than they want to. Everybody is scared - embrace it
Personally I don’t care about P2 coming out specifically. I just hope this isnt a sign of how blizzard will handle phases release timeframes.
Blizzard shouldn’t conform to the sooky vocal minority no lifers. They should spend their spare wow time that they think is being wasted on alts or other legitimate timesinks that are available to them. It will ruin the whole pacing of the game of they do.

I can see Blizz pushing this one out to get rid of phasing/sharding. It gets honour into the game. Not really too much more in P2 than phase 1.
Phase 3 will be a BIG change.
Even still:
If they release each phase every 3 months on average we will get 18 months of gameplay.
Im not 60 yet. I will get to do some raids. I just need to give these last few levels a big push.
Classic should be fully opened before it hits one year.
They should be releasing TBC Servers next August(with a plan to go an expansion a year), and to do it proper will need Classic at max opening for copying of character purposes.
But then, they probably want to beat the horse dead and have it ‘last’ 18 months #rollseyes. Its the equivalent to taking a bite of a ham sandwich every two days… you know… to make it ‘last’. What it typically means is that people find something else to eat.
I understand they’re probably erring on the side of caution as this is the first go, but the proof is in the raidlogging. They have the numbers, or lack thereof.
It won’t change much after Phase 2, because there is next to nothing in Phase 2. They couldn’t even be bothered to say throw in ZG.
How is that a strawman? I’m saying that you will be behind either way. You don’t think having thousands of gold of consumables to farm honor with isn’t already a huge advantage? If there was no new content for a couple more
months, the balance would skew even further between those who chose to keep farming and those who decided to come back later.
It really does sound like though that you just want everyone to stop playing so that you can slowly catch up. That will never happen.
I’m enjoying how its basically expected to spend literally all free time on WoW, every day for months.
All these posts about having 3-4 free hours at night, implicitly saying if you dont reserve those all for WoW every day than you arent really trying.
These hypothetical schedules that ignore all aspects of life outside of work, eating, and sleep.
Golf league? Poker nights? vacations? kids baseball tournaments? Watching a movie? Playing board games? Camping? Meal planning? House maintenence? Other video games? Playing piano? Gym?
All those things that compete for those 3-4 hours a night while a lot seem to find it perfectly ok expecting all of that time to be spent on WoW, everyday.
It doesnt seem like it should be such a rediculous request to make it…like vanilla.
Not a hyper squished version of vanilla.

I agree with some of what you’re saying.
I doubt BC will be next year. probs the following year. I can see classic being dragged out to 2 years - as it should be!
moreover, Phase 2 introduces hardly any content. Im on a PVE server. It adds 2 world bosses… that’s it?! Personally, I think its great from this perspective. It still lets us catch up and hit 60, do probably 12 weeks of raids and get some gear for when phase 3 and BWL come out. This isn’t catering to anyone special…
(FWIW - I DETEST STREAMERS!!!)
It’s not like vanilla. These are speed levelers and min/maxers who’ve spent TONS of hours on private servers so they can jump the curve and acquire huge advantages. The fact is they could always level an alt or do something fun like that but then that would conflict with the original strategy.

Imagine being mad that other players have put in more time than you have. Just play the game at your own speed.
This is classic where progression is always linear, there will always be players for you to play with but there will always be those who have pushed harder and further.
I’m sure Blizzard has their own data to judge when a new phase should be released. They don’t need to listen to the minority, whoever that may be.

Yes, and that’s fine. Demanding more, more, more until the game is over in 6 months is what I take issue with.

The game will not be over in 6 months so you can take it easy and enjoy yourself.

/shrug just because you are jealous of others who either have better time management skills than you or you just have a crappy situation and are unable to play as much as you want doesn’t mean anyone else has a problem.
Since the chained-to-PCers can’t help themselves and Blizzard won’t slow its release, the least Blizzard could do is offer transfers now that realms have started to settle into identities. A few are characterized as “dad servers,” and I’m more than happy to join players with the same priorities.

You’re right, Blizzard should suspend anybody who plays more than you so that you can take your time and be the very best.
Other players have different priorities than you and that’s OK. It doesn’t mean that you can’t progress at your own rate.

BS.
classic will be strong and healthy even without your retail xpac TBC and wotlk. Those expansions should not be allowed to stain WoW classic. You want expansions?
Go buy shadowlands.

I would be keen to play through tbc and even wotlk again. Keep classic separate though please.

I don’t care if Classic is dragged out for forever. People will likely be playing it years from now.
But the transition to TBC is not a kind one if Classic isn’t fully open by the time it launches. And taking two years to launch an expansion that already exists and they’ve claimed they’ve already done some work for, would be a severe dereliction of duty by the devs.
I’d like to see August 2019(done) Classic, August 2020(TBC), August 2021(WotLK). Each on their own servers. Each start with the characters copied from the previous Classic servers on the day they open(and never after… its a one-time deal).
That then allows people to raid different expansions with the same guild on different servers. Say Tuesday is Classic, Wed is TBC, and Thurs is WoTLK. At that point, you’ll pretty much guarantee people have stuff to do, ensuring sub money.
True that. If they had added BG’s, they’d be fine. In lieu of that, they could at least toss in ZG. I have a feeling they’ll do a DM with ZG and we’ll get it a couple weeks later, though.
