Is amazing how many people were so dense that they couldn't get that the guy was talking about 2016 with his joke tweets. I still have some hope for humanity since at least some people got it.

Wouldn't they have said it was coming out on tuesday a week in advance? Like, don't they always say a week in advance?

Dunno, but for me it's super simple logic here - WHY woud blizzard announce PvP Season ending at 19th instead of just announcing it as 26, if they at least didn't have plans for releasing 7.0.3 on the same day?. And no, you can't say smthing like " to have a week of calculating ranked reward and other things" because we have clear answer that they didn't require it for 4 expansion patches before. I'm not saying pre-patch will 100% be at 19th, since thing can go wrong and they can push release to 26th, but its still more likely to happen on 19th.
99% of Blizzard dev crew with all server tech and QA guys won't be attending it. Their design and art crew that will attend it are not manally working on fixing bugs and stuff.
They don't need to. I remember several patches in the past where release build did not get pushed till the weekend on the PTR and it still launched on the following Tuesday.
We have two important events that have already happened that most often coincide with these types of major patches.
-Arena season ends on the 19th
And the final nail in WoD's coffin.
-Release build pushed to the PTR on Wednesday of this week.
I am now certain it will be on the 19th.
Yes 4 people from the team "The panelists include Dave Kosak (narrative designer, World of Warcraft), Chris Robinson (senior art director, World of Warcraft), Matt Samia (senior creative director of brand marketing), and James Waugh (director of story & creative development)".
What I don't understand is how would SDCC being on the Thursday & 4 people on the team that don't even handle Bugs or Server Issues hinder 7.0.3 releasing on the Tuesday, it just doesn't make sense.

It's not really about hoping to be right, it's more hoping nothing bad happens that pushes it back a week.

I don't always hunt things, But when I do, It's because they're things & I'm a Bear.
Asked for the 20th off(I don't work the 19th). Please don't make me regret it!!
LOL yep. I remember cata launch the boat would despawn going towards vashjir and everyone would be stunned in the water until dying from drowning. Think it had something to do with flying Mounts. Then there was wod launch, the amount of lag at the portal and the lag inside the portal...
You just had to go there in the mornings, was usually fine from 4am to 9am or so. Did a quick stop there every morning to get buildings build and quests picked up before it all went down again.
And it was fixed by Saturday/Sunday, hardly a week.
Experience on high-pop servers may vary, but you get what you bargain for.
In any case, the Garrison with personal instances was an obvious bottle neck on server performance. No such thing in Legion, closest are order halls and there is only 12 of those, not one per player. The "launch" doesn't even require clicking a quest, you get automatically teleported to Broken Shore Dalaran which is heavily sharded for performance (ie. split into multiple Dalarans to avoid everyone being in the same one), so I do have hope.
They did test a faux-launch on the beta just recently, which is not something I remember them ever testing before.

Holy shit it triggers me so hard when people want the patch on the 26th just so they can get 1 more week of garrison gold.
Like wtf have you been doing for the past 1+ year?
