WoW Classic Stress Test Date

Esfand-kelthuzad · July 17, 2019, 4:17pm

Better to delay it and make sure it’s done right, than do it too early and not get the data you need out of it. Thanks for the update

Backstabs-madoran · July 17, 2019, 4:21pm

More fixes the better just keep us up to date plz

Information is always appreciated. Thank you, Kaivax.

Thanks, Kaivax.

Translation: probably another round of bug fixes coming so people don’t go into conniptions when they find them during the stress test.

… and why did I get next week’s planned stress date days off from work? I’m working flipping 65 hr this week cause of that. Now since that’s canceled, I’m stressing out over here.
How more unreliable this is going to get, Blizzard? You’ve changed the dates twice now. This sux.

Celessi-turalyon · July 17, 2019, 4:39pm

I don’t know. I personally would have saved it to use for a trip or something.

Kazcow-zuljin · July 17, 2019, 4:48pm

Why would you plan days off for a simple 1-2 day stress test? That’s your own fault. Blizzard doesn’t owe you anything. Have a great week though.

Even though they say they’re on track it doesn’t look good for the August 26th launch (yes, it is August 26 for all of North America and UK, and these are the US forums so I fail to understand why they keep saying August 27…).

Fine Blizzard, I’ll spend time with my loved one and go to the Zoo instead.

I really hope it’s soon, and not soon™; I want to have a chance to set up UI addons before the game releases.

Hope we get an update soon.

You took off work for a stress test? Sounds a bit extreme.

Well, now you could resub for the Stress Test and get early Character Creation and the first part of the launch, all in one $15 payment.

This puts paid to all the naysayers claiming that Blizzard moved the Stress Test back to ensure that you’d have to pay separate subscription months for each thing. Now one Sub Month will get you the first week of play in the same month period as the Stress Test and Character Creation.

Eloraell-moon-guard · July 17, 2019, 5:40pm

That was for you to try 8.2. I doubt they really want you using it for Classic.

Siku-draktharon · July 17, 2019, 5:45pm

3 day gift pass was a misstake, this is why they will change the date

May-stormscale · July 17, 2019, 5:52pm

Better do it right than rushed.

Take all the time you need.

Cheers.

Eloraell-moon-guard · July 17, 2019, 6:00pm

Actually, have you reconsidered the requirement for a Sub yet? It would improve your chances of a high population stress test akin to what you seemed to expect for the previous Test.

Cayinasia-stormrage · July 17, 2019, 6:08pm

No rush. release date is the release date.

Take the time to get it right. The same people crying about the delay would crucify you for every mistake made if you rushed it. We all know its true.
