PrePatch date - soon?

[Aradur]

first he said 12, then after blizzard's pvp post came up he said

"My apologies everyone, it appears the 12th was a typo on an email that was meant to indicate OverWatch changes.

The prepatch is still slated for the following week, the 19th of July. "

Yeah, loads of BS basically.

Where did he say that? All i see is this Overview and there is no such thing. Just anything he wrote before the PvP-End-Announcement.

3PM PDT EDIT:

My apologies everyone, it appears the 12th was a typo on an email that was meant to indicate OverWatch changes.

The prepatch is still slated for the following week, the 19th of July.

The date change was so close to the actual date, I rushed to post here instead of properly confirming.

Once again, I am sorry for the false alarm and will continue to pass along information as I receive it.

[Aradur]

Oh, so he edited his initial post. My bad, i just searched for a new one.

Well Blizz knows the mole now

or there is no mole and its just one guy who made 100 comments and deleted those that were wrong.

So, i suppose people here take the previous season end/prepatch pattern as an indication (and rightfully so) of the 19th July pre-patch.

But i see no comment on the "Please note that the end of the season does not require a patch to the game, and will occur automatically." phrase, which might indicate a 26th July pre-patch launch, especially when people claim that Blizzard does differently this time.

That line only means that the end of season is set in stone. No mather what happends the season will end on that date.

Thats a very good point. I think this is the first time they added that line.

[schwarzkopf]

seriously i don't see why people are still discussing this? 19th is end of PVP season, means pre-patch release date. unless i am missing something.

Well - it is a new precedent, so we don't know for sure if the old ones will be followed. Reasonable assumption - just not confirmed.

That line means there is no connection between end of the season AND the prepatch.

So it can be the 19th, the 26th etc

so season ends on 19th AND that leaker guy turned to be fake? Good news

As much as I don't believe any leaks, it doesn't necessarily mean that the guy was a fake.

The guy "leaked" a prepatch launch date of July 19th, which is looking extremely likely now. Recently though, he came across more information that pointed to a July 12th release date. If the original leak was real, then it wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard saw the leak, then let a fake leak spread in order to discredit the guy.

Personally, I think it was just another person's speculation labeled as a leak for click-bait purposes, but that's not the same as saying, "This guy is 100% a fake".

The thing is, blizzard didn't even announce the prepatch date. Plus, I really dont think they'd go the trouble of discredit some guy on reddit.

ALSO, he never said he was given the wrong prepatch date. He said he MESSED up reading the date.

Here, his direct quote:

"My apologies everyone, it appears the 12th was a typo on an email that was meant to indicate OverWatch changes. "

So, the whole blizzard trying to discredit him idea goes out the window, because according to him that didn't happen.

I never said that they did release a prepatch date... And plenty of companies would go through "the trouble" (lol) to discredit an extremely popular leak, especially from a source some are claiming is constantly right.

However:

That does change everything.

Still banking on the 19th to give people a month ish before Demon Hunters drop

Patch releases the same day as the end of PVP Season.

If there is that much certainty, why not announce that.
I think when blizzard are actually sure of it themselves, it will be announced.

The season end is announced as the timing of that will necessitate people to hold off certain activities, or do them quicker.
Just like the pre-patch will.
So I see no reason to announce them separately if they were going to be the same day.
It doesn't make much sense as far as I can see.

To give themselves some leeway in case something goes wrong with the build, I'd imagine.

They almost never announce a patch release date before hand, it always just comes with the end of the PVP Season, and it has been like that for every single Pre-Patch going back to BC.

Season 4 (End of BC) Season End - Oct 14th 2008 ---- WotLK Pre Patch - Oct 15th 2008
Season 8 (End of WotLK) Season End - Oct 12th 2010 ---- Cata Pre Patch - Oct 12th 2010
Season 11 (End of Cata) Season End - Aug 28th 2012 ---- MoP Pre Patch - Aug 28th 2012
Season 14 (End of MoP) Season End - Oct 14th 2014 ---- WoD Pre Patch - Oct 14th 2014

[ComputerNerd]

So that means is that the end of the season has to occur prior to the pre-patch.
That is all it means.
Nothing else.
