Do you think Antorus will last 14 months like HFC and SoO did?

[threads]

judging by how little info we got probably. 14 month of antorus. seemed like the devs only talked about some islands more than anything and didn't answer much else.

[Bathory]

I'm thinking fall tbh.

[oplawlz]

Lol, so far 148 suckers in this thread.

We wont see the new expac launch until october at the earliest.

[Dystemper]

I have a feeling we wont see BfA until Late NOv or early dec. Possibly even Jan 2019. There are new racials that will need to be tested. They will have to revamp PVP after gutting it if they want to have a pVP heavy expansion. Who knows if tthey will continue with a lot of voice acting or not.

Whil it seems like they could be much further along, I dont see this expansion dropping for at least a year if not longer.

[schwarzkopf]

Based on past performance ... range of release dates for next expansion : 5th July 2018 -> 7th January 2019.

It seems like a lot of people seem to forget that the playable Demo we saw at Blizzcon is a very early STABLE build that they could show off without too many issues. There's zero doubt in my mind that their internal version is much, much further ahead and already ready for beta testing, they also said that Beta is coming soon, not Alpha.

Coming Soon® Same way as Worgen and Goblin models are coming soon, Player housing etc etc etc

Remember when they said at Blizzcon 2013 that WoD would be out "sooner than you think" ? Then remember how it took another year?

[George Costanza]

No obviously expansion will be out before march. hehehe tottally guys, they totally dont need anything more than a year (seriously most of the warfronts looks very early development and stuff but i dunno) I mean we totally got to see a demon of the warfronts.

Remember when they said they wouldn't make us wait a year between final tier and expansion launches and that patches would come out faster, like they do? I do.

Its pretty obvious the new exp will be out in september (or last day of august). That would hit the 24 months mark period which has been the average of the last 3 expansions (22 months, 25, 21 for WOD). Antorus would last about 9 months which is still a lot but still less than the HFC/SOO fiasco, altho I think at this point they might even delay antorus a bit since after all TOS isnt even 5 months old right now. Also if beta starts around jan/feb that would exactly last like all last betas in the past.

There's no way in hell they will push the exp to jan 2019, too late, and for the opposite reason its very unlikely they'll push it at the start of the summer.

[Barnabas]

It mostly boils down to if they get the story they are going with early on and actually stick with it than change everything in alpha. If they have to make significant changes then yep it will be a year.

[Sanguinerd]

Well it LOOKED like they still have alot of work to do(I could be wrong), I ofcourse hope we'll get it soon but it'll probably be a while.

I'm thinking roughly around the same time as Legion launched.

[Dopplegager]

I think we will have at least a year of this patch. Frankly I've been bored of the new zones for well over a month now. I hope the raid keeps me interested but I just haven't been able to stay interested this expansion. It's weird as it has more content than WoD but I'm less compelled to do the content they have in this one.

[Schattenlied]

I sure as fuck hope not, will be unsubbing after I clear antorus anyways though, until the prepatch hits.

I do. The expansion looks like it's a good 7 to 8 months away from being alpha ready.

What exactly makes you think that?

[Infernix]

June, 2018

I say June, but otherwise, good guestimates.

I expect we'll see a ton of trickled content between now and the launch of BfA. The new BG and other stuff with 7.3.5 and probably more stuff to tide us over until the next expansion is ready.

[Fourze]

Judging by what I saw yesterday and how they are trying to push out a BG and Leveling Changes on the same 77 day system?

Absolutely. They are going to try and make the delay look as small as possible, but its still going to be 10 months or so I think.

77 day system got confirmed dead in the first panel when they said 7.3.5 is still a few weeks away from coming out on the PTR

[Ealyssa]

I do. The expansion looks like it's a good 7 to 8 months away from being alpha ready. Lets hope antorus is better than HFC was...

Not even close. Book is allready announced for may 2018. Expansion is out in june, july. August worst case.

Beta wil start january.

And Antorus release isn't that close, as nothing precise was announced at Blizzcon.

[lockybalboa]

I'd say september release at the earliest..

[Wvvtayy]

I'd say september release at the earliest..

Even that's more realistic than the people saying May or earlier
