What happened to the promised "mini-raid"

What happened to the "promised" mini-raid before the release of WoD?

There wasn't one promised?

[Tragedia]

Uh what mini-raid? At Blizzcon they said they didn't want to o a 5.5 because that meant WoD was going to get delayed so I highly doubt they promised a mini-raid.

[Chat]

There was never a mini-raid promised at all lol. They actually stated many times they weren't gonna make any filler raid cause it would take time away from the expansion.

Another attempt at causing drama.. there should be some sort of thread solely for the purpose of these threads lol.

It was briefly mentioned a couple of times early in MoP that they might have a 5.5 but it wouldn't have any raid content. It was quickly scrapped and they focused on WoD instead.

They promised that would NOT happen.

[Karon]

They promised that would NOT happen.

They also promised that something like ICC (12 months between content patch and next xpac) would never happen again.

There was no Mini-raid promised at all.

Well, hasn't happened yet though.

[Deja Thoris]

No wonder the poor dev's can never catch a break.

Player A "Will we get a mini raid before WoD?"

Devs "No way!!!! Never!!!! NOT going to happen!!!"

Player B "Hey gais wheres this mini raid you promised"

How many months has it been since we last had a content patch? It's funny, back in WOTLK I actually didn't mind the lack of new content since the lore and atmosphere of WOTLK was enough to keep me busy and invested. The last two expansions have failed to do that, though - and I'm likely to remain without a subscription until WoD is almost upon us.

Except of course there weren't 12 months without any content with ICC seeing as there was the whole Ruby Sanctum ordeal.

Whereas now, we're going to most likely be MORE than 12 months without literally anything except store mounts.

It's certainly not been 12 months since we last had new content. There's still time for Blizzard to release WoD before 12 months, surely.

[Karon]

Well, hasn't happened yet though.

But it's happening atm. in eight days it will be 10 Months since SoO was released, and I don't think that they wil release WoD within the next two months, so it will be a year.

And even IF they release it in August (if they rush the beta) it will be eleven Months without even an filler like ruby sanctum, and I think that would easily equal to the ICC situation


Edit:

Ok, let me rephrase that:

almost a Year of only a small content patch that included only one real Boss. (Let's just say that we round ~10 Months to a year)

2 Months, and they just started the beta. Not a chance that they will rush the release. They already failed their promise anyways.

Don't you know? 10 months=12 months!

That is true but there is still 2 months to go, and well, I don't expect a mini raid or such, I expect the 6.0 to hit within 2 months.

[Chaosturn]

They specifically said there was NOT going to be a .5 tier before wod...

[Nnyco]

welcome to mmo-champion, word of month this time is: 'promise'

blizzard never promised any mini-raid, infact blizzard tries to avoid that word

[mysticx]

Don't you know? 10 months=12 months!

It's going to be 12 months, or do you really think Blizz will get WoD out within 2 months? They'll have a hard enough time getting it ready in time for December...

[Karon]

I think they will target an October launch, I mean, they just started the Beta, only two zones are being released for testing aswell as two dungeons. It takes weeks just to tune the Raids in Beta and it will be a while before they'll do that, so I think they won't be able to release everything in two months...

[NuLogic]

A raid was never promised. They just mentioned that there might be a 5.5 event but then later changed their mind so as to get wod out faster.
