At December's Q&A, Ion said that he would have another Q&A in the first week of January "right around the same time 7.1.5 releases". In that same Q&A, he also stated getting it out "BEFORE" Nighthold's release.
I know a lot of people are saying... "Well it's not balanced, it's not ready", no matter how balanced it would be, it would still be something that would be said up to release. And balancing, from a numbers perspective, will continue to be made after Nighthold is released. They tuned A LOT of classes in the first week of Emerald Nightmare prior to Mythics being opened, so yeah... early January, count on it. Exact date is up in air.
7.1.5 at 3rd or 10th of January, with Nighthold opening on the 17th.
3rd is likely. 10th is likely. 17th is unlikely, but remotely possible. Anything past that is not going to happen.
The PTR's on a release build and the background download is up. This usually means the patch is days away (esp. the background download), but accounting for the holidays means it's likely a bit further than that. (It would be very bad to patch on the 27th, right between everyone being off for Christmas/etc. and New Year's Day. Nobody really in the office to do the inevitable hotfixes and such.) Right after getting back on the 3rd, or a week later on the 10th is most realistic.
7.1.5 is not dependent on Nighthold, but Nighthold is dependent on 7.1.5. While the entire raid is essentially in the game (as of 7.0.3, even), 7.1.5 made a large number of fixes and tuning changes to everything from gear drop ilvls to trinkets and tier bonuses to boss tuning.
Patch is on Jan 10th. Source? I know someone that works at blizzard(whether you believe it or not)
For those who seem very confused on release dates for 7.1.5 please keep in mind that its already in the background downloader wich means its very imminent. Also It will be released far before night hold since Nighthold is patch 7.2.
