7.2 release date?

[FelPlague]

Seriously? More than 10 years of WoW and people still believe that Blizzard schedules their patches on the release of other games? As far as I remember, the only time that I happened was for SWTOR.

hellfire citidal released on the same day as final fantasy's heavensward expansion

My vote is April, that's my guess for the speed of release this expansion.

[Fleckens]

So if we get 7.2 in April/May, we will get 7.2. in around September/October, which means another year between the last major raid and the new expansion (again)

7.2 is not the last major raid though, we still got 7.3 and Argus.

As for the topic, My guess would be sometime in April for patch and late june/early july for the raid.

Tuesday ... definitely going to be Tuesday.

As long as there isn't a year between the last major content and the next expansion - that's not a problem. Remember that raids and content aren't in sync in Legion.

So 7.2 might launch in mid April, the raid in mid June, the next content in September, another raid in January etc etc.

Knowing Blizzard I picked May, but I could see them aiming for April. It's worth noting that they released 7.1.5 very recently and I wouldn't just discount patch content. Their goal is to let everything have a lifespan as long as possible.

A goal they've miserably failed then. 7.1.5 Is a mini patch, with little to no content and only offers class changes. It's basically 6.1 giving us a selfie camera and Pepe whistle toy, or 2.2 In TBC giving us voice chat. So any real content we've had was 5 months ago from now, a month -after- the game launched, how odd hmh? Almost like there's too little patches to go around but they had to release 7.1 early to rush the hype train to maximum speed and get everyone playing, and now everyone Is leaving realizing how bad the RNG, legendaries, Artifact Power, gear aquisition, raiding and pvping is bad... well I almost named the entirety of the game there...

I like how you are cleverly ignoring the fact that a new raid was released less than 2 months ago. But whatever fits your agenda I guess.

This is the only acceptable answer.

Agreed me fellow sir!

7.2 is worse than 7.1 Even though it is a "Big" patch it feels smaller than 7.1 which was a medium patch.

Hell it feels about the size of 7.1.5 on the ptr.

What was that new end-game zone in 7.1 / 7.1.5 called? Bullshittamar?

7.2 is one of the biggest content patches basically ever.

OT: Late april seems more likely than anything else. Nighthold hasn't had much room to breathe with only 28 guilds in the world finishing mythic.

People are going to get burned out even quicker than they already are if they are still working on Nighthold when the new AP grind is released, regardless of the timing of Tomb of Sargeras.

[PraisCthulhu]

I'm in the late March or early April boat. They've already said that pretty much all the new content that will be in 7.2 is live on the PTR and now it is just tuning numbers. They killed the double relic traits because the said they did not think they could fix it in time for 7.2. Both of these things, to me, point to a release sooner than later. Barring a new major bug being found, they'll push a few PTR patches adjusting numbers and it'll go on live shortly there after. I doubt it will take them more than a month to tune the numbers.

Ok I almost genuinely fell out of my chair. "Biggest content patches ever" Newsflash 6.2 is bigger.
