There have been 2-3 week pre patches before people need to chill 6th/7th looks to be the earliest and 13th/14th most likely with 2 weeks until shadowlands.
They are probably working on it hard, guys give them time. We definitely need more hair color and character earring customizations instead of fixing Conduits or Covenants or dungeon bosses/mobs :)
I was thinking...for quite some time...that September 29th would be "Pre-Patch". I am guessing that is conventional wisdom, hardly a novel thought. Assuming September 29th comes and goes without a patch...it could drop, stranger things...I'd rather Blizzard be late than wrong. Do I "Hate The Wait"? Sure. But I absolutely "Abhor The Score" of having a glitchy patch and a crappy expansion because of timelines. Get the job done...but get it right! Sooner isn't always better!
1 month to play beta in live servers, this expansion looks like is going to be a %^&* show of bugs because of a rushed release
Assuming they rush it. They can change the release date. Not the best of idea's, but certainly better than rushing things!
It's funny, especially since there's ABSOLUTLEY NO REASON to delay the PRE-PATCH. I have to caps the KEY WORDS because some people appearently can't read properly. The prepatch itself is already ready, Shadowlands? Obviously not. They haven't pulled the ripcord yet.EDIT: I see people saying that this means they probably work on conduits/covenants. THE. PRE. PATCH. IS. READY. The prepatch is ready and it has NOTHING to do with conduits nor covenants.
I know we're eager, but let's also consider how they've all had to acclimate to a new WFH work flow, and I can attest to the fact that that's not easy (and I'm just a measly writing tutor). A little credit where it's due?
Oh my. That was unexcepted
Shadowlands feels very unfinished. A delay will do everyone a favour! I get that they want to knock it out before the new consoles, games such as cyberpunk pop up and those cheap deals that happen this time of year, but no one wants to play a busted and broken mess or return to a broken mess.
Blizz, if you are reading this, thank you for making sure its good to go before you go! Also, can we keep the rep buff until pre-patch, pretty please?
Wow, a lot of couch devs in this comment section, claiming to know Blizzard's development process and their timetables.
would love a delay to fix *!@#
I don't care if it's not done at this point, I just wanna play some new content in WoW already
I have been saying for weeks that it wasn't ready in that it would never be released as soon as some were trying to say but people just want to hear what they want to hear
