It really is Soon!
So the pre-patch is pushed early as they last usually 3-4 weeks , so in this case they have like extra week +- to tweak all their newly implemented "addons" and bug fixing , seems logical enough.
ooo cultist pre-patch event, sweet! 👀
As expected, pre-patch starts just as the Legion Remix ends.Dragonflight summary of durations:Alpha → Beta: ~1 month 17 daysBeta → Pre-patch (Phase 1): ~1 month 24 daysPre-patch to Launch: ~1 month 3 daysThe War-Within summary of durations:Alpha → Beta: ~1 month 19 daysBeta → Pre-patch: ~1 month 18 daysPre-patch to Launch: ~1 month 3 daysMidnight (so far) began on October 2, 2025Alpha → Beta: ~1 month 20 days (est) Beta → Pre-patch: ~2 monthsPre-patch to Launch: ~1 month (est)Midnight is following the same overall cadence, but with a slightly longer beta-to-pre-patch gap (roughly 2 months instead of ~6 weeks). If Midnight does launch on March 3rd, 2026, it will be just a few weeks longer than The War Within’s alpha-to-release timeline of essentially a 5-month cycle.
"...expansion will launch on or before January 27th!"I think you mean Pre-Patch will be on or before Jan 27th, right? Surely the expansion isn't just 3 months away. They haven't even started beta!
Still time to reverse course on the terrible addon changes.
Just knew 4 months ago when that timeline printed out by Blizzard showing Housing to be in game at start of Wintertime that Pre Patch wasn't far away and it would come up late Jan/early Feb now.
Can we have that chestplate shes wearing :O need more ^&*!mogs
Playable ogres is hype
They're not going to be able to replace the addons with that little time.Game is still practically unplayable for people with visual disabilities on alpha, but I guess we're always the ones to get sacrificed so some dad with 4 jobs and 12 kids can gloat and feel good about himself for not raiding without DBM while also using OBR.BS.
"Blablabla crunch is unfortunately part of the industry blablabla"They're speeding this train up in an attempt to create the biggest train wreck in wow history.
