It's all speculation, nothing confirmed at all. Just guesses.

2014-06-18, 03:32 PM #3As of a few days ago, they didn't have a stable build ready for alpha. Maybe they're still having issues with it.

2014-06-18, 09:27 PM #4DeletedIt's not all speculation: A dev posted on twitter that the next build would be up within a week ( from memory, it was Watcherdev from thursday/friday) Originally Posted by Pebrocks The Warlock

If he said that on Thursday/Friday then wouldn't it make sense that a week would go to the next Thursday/Friday? If it doesn't come out the next couple of days and then comes out next week you only waited 1 1/2 weeks, which isn't a big deal. Originally Posted by Warchief94

Trying to get a stable build with the second zone? If things keep going like that we get 4 zones with a december release and all the rest in a patch 3 months later, then we'll have to wait another 3 months for dungeons and raids?
Sorry, but this development process looks disturbingly slow to me.

2014-06-18, 10:23 PM #7DeletedActually, it's the exact same speed as the previous betas, including unstable builds. Nothing new here. The zones are all done by now, it's just focus testing. Originally Posted by Zka

I doubt the second zone is the problem, but there's not much point to pushing out a build that crashes every 2 seconds. Originally Posted by Zka

Because having issues with one zone and one build obviously means none of the other content is ready yet. Originally Posted by Zka

Sure the zones are done by now.. that is why they don't have a stable build for alpha yet. Originally Posted by Tauror

Because having a Zone crafted is TOTALLY all they need for a Stable build and having a few little bugs can't COMPLETELY make a build unstable. Originally Posted by Synstir

Hell in the MoP Beta Jade Forest was still unstable for weeks after the other Areas were fine to play in, though I guess idiots don't realise they don't work on one area, clean it up to perfect and move on, they actually work across the ENTIRE content and then fine tune bit by bit.

Correlation != causation. The next build brings a new zone and is currently unstable, that doesn't mean it's unstable because of the zone. Most causes of instability have nothing to do with zones. Originally Posted by Synstir

As far as I know a lot of Garrison specific gameplay* will be tested too, so that might be where they encounter problems. Shadowmoon Valley zone should be relatively stable already. You could even test the first part at Blizzcon/Pax East/Press events I belive.
*maybe we will be able to test the whole of what Garrisons offer? (stages one, two and three + invasion by the Iron Horde)
