    When do you think the PTR version of a pre-patch is going to hit live servers?

    A lot of people speculate that pre-patch is going to be released on 19th july - but I personally think that around this date patch including Demon Hunters, Legion invasion, demon event etc is going to be released.

    And as Blizzard has already stated, the first part of pre-patch is only going to include class changes and wardrobe system (it's a version of patch that we currently have on the PTR).

    So when do you think this version of pre-patch is going to be released? In 2 weeks or sooner/later?

    I personally think Demon hunter will be sometime in between Pre-Patch and the launch of Legion. Essentially something like this

    19th / 20th of July: Pre-Patch

    About 2 weeks later: Demon Hunters

    About 2 weeks from that: Legion Launch

    They know that a lot of people will probably create a Demon Hunter. Bringing them out after the Pre-Patch event has started and probably settled down a lot they can prevent a little bit of server issues. Probably not all of them, but some.

    What's on PTR right now includes everything, even all legion zones. Maybe they'll not let people access DH once the prepatch hits. In that case they'll simply "unlock" DHs at some point, but there will not be another patch between prepatch and Legion release.

    Demon Hunters are a week before Legion launch, last I heard.

    I agree.
    I think there will be a gap to allow for fixes/stability before demon hunters are unlocked.

    Indeed, Pre-patch isn't some select portion of the game but rather legion in effect.
    It will just like any other patch include content which is simply not available to players, gated until either blizzard dictate otherwise or the expansion releases.

    19th july 50%
    26 july 50 %

    I'd say 26.

    I'd say 3-4 weeks before release as well.

    OT: Do you guys know if CM Gold will still be attainable when the pre-patch hits the live servers?

    I mean, considering it's even a promised 'feature' from the pre-order..We have a release date for Legion, Dhunters get a week early to play.

    It probably won't since the option to set the dungeon difficulty on challenge mode has been removed.

    Late July. They still need to stress test the broken shore, fix bugs and what not, fix class talents, and do the 2-week PvP warning.

    The 19th in next month.

    I think it will be August 2. That would fit the pattern of all previous expansions.

    Late August. Considering the state of beta I'm quite sure that the expansion will be delayed. Maybe even to 2017.

    You probably weren't in WoD beta. Majority of garrison was broken when pre-patch hit live.
