"Tomb will release sometime in mid to late June."

[Al Gorefiend]

June 13th or June 20th

FFXIV expansion is june 16th. So it's pretty obvious they'd hit that like they always do.

Does Blizzard at all feel threatened by small fry competition?

[Saverem]

That is a let down :/

Thoughts anyone?

That is exactly when people thought it would be released... How is it a let down? It's exactly as expected.

7.2.5 will probably be released in mid May and then ToS in mid to late June.

[Adoxe]

We knew it's June since the PTR started, how can you be letdown by something that was already known? March 28th + 12 weeks = June 20th. Basic math.

[Dracullus]

Legion schedule is veery predictable. I don't know why we have this threads.

[Raetary]

letdown? are you serious?

was "11 weeks of legionfall campaign" not obvious enough?

[Manabomb]

nighthold release january, so it seems to line up well

emerald nightmare 5 months (Tov in there but small raid so)
nighthold 6 months (much bigger raid)

Only in World of Warcraft can a single tier last 11 months, although intentionally this time.

[nalle]

Given that we already knew about the 11 week long questline I already thought that it would be released 13th of june at the earliest so....

It's common for game companies to schedule releases of content/games to collide with competition. 6.2 and FF14s expansion came out on the same day. I don't see an issue with it. Healthy competition at the end of the day.

[Deleted]

I was hoping for two weeks sooner, but oh well. I can just level an alt or something. Since the gear/AP grind is much less awful now.

[yamilonewolf]

Blizz also says they consider Nightmare/tov one teir and nighthold another, and theres alot of sense to that soooo... yeah...

[TheVaryag]

So sometime after the campaign ends? Shocking! /s

It'll be okay.

Campaign? You mean gathering marks and nethershards and doing 1 quest amounts to a Campaign? Shocking! What story telling, bravo. Surely surpasses the story telling and story gating of 5.2 ... don't make me laugh, 5.2 did story much better and we didn't have to wait weeks for It, we earned It overtime via reputation.

But yeah, when they gave the releases of "In week 1, this and that, week 2, this and that.." and their last one was Week 4+ Tomb of Sargeras I was imagening July If not much later. It's obsurd and hilariously bad, there's nothing to do unless you're a completionist and on everyday doing some little thing just for completionism sake and those people aren't many.

[stablon]

Although it is very expected I would rather have it a little bit less expected. We are running a siege and its kinda meaningless to know how long it will exactly last. They could have made how long the breach would last more uncertain in the first place.

Only in World of Warcraft can people think that two entirely unrelated raids that are separated by a giant iLevel gulf are the same "tier".

[Yunaqt]

Called it like 5+ weeks ago, happy gives us 7-8 weeks of M NH farming to take a little break before going back into full on prog mode again.

[Camthur]

Uh, we've known this for a while now. Did some people honestly think the raid would come out before the 11 week chain of quests was completed?

Stormblood comes out on the 20th. So guess which day TOS will open? We've all been saying this since it was announced.

[Marrilaife]

Pretty much this. Tbh I feel they should've released 7.2 a bit later so it's less rushed (haha now they blame invasion lag on the grouping addons like WQGF...) and have less gap between 7.2 and raid so we would have less bugs at 7.2 launch and less whine the raid is delayed so much (when it really isn't).

[Durbi]

As expected...how can anyone be surprised by this? Middle of June was when most of the players thought it would be coming out.

[Super Kami Dende]

Wait.. people are surprised by this?

This has literally been the most accepted timeframe before people even had the official announcement.

this. People should've known the release date the moment ffxiv expansion's date was announced, but people wanna keep thinking blizz doesnt schedule their content around comptetitors releases
