Take Wing to a New Beginning
Join forces with the dragonflights of Azeroth as they return to the Dragon Isles, a lost realm of magic and wonder. There await the dracthyr evokers, an all-new playable race and class of humanoid dragonkin who stand ready to join the ranks of the Horde and Alliance.

Dragonflight Collector’s Edition Codes and Upgrades

We’ve seen a number of questions from players regarding the physical Collector’s Edition, which recently went on sale, and how they might be able to use the game code as a part of their purchase.

As there is no digital delivery of the code ahead of receipt of the physical box, there are two scenarios in play.
Players who aren’t concerned about getting access to any advance content or their digital items ahead of receipt of their Collector’s Edition box, can wait for it to be delivered to their shipping address. Once received, the game code can be found in the box and can be applied to the account they would like to upgrade to the Epic Edition of Dragonflight.

For those who would like to enjoy any advance content or their digital items before they receive the physical Collector’s Edition, they can purchase one of the digital options available and upgrade their account to Dragonflight immediately. After the Collector’s Edition is received, the code received in the box can be applied to the account they would like to upgrade to the Epic Edition of Dragonflight. Doing so will result in an automatic credit of Battle.net Balance to the associated account in the amount of the cost of the original digital purchase.

    Feels rushed

    Wait, what? This year? I was expecting mid/late 2023 at the earliest.

    Holy shit this is going to be super rushed
  1. Super Dickmann's Avatar
    It's six months from release without a beta in sight. That release date is batshit.
  1. z0ddicEU's Avatar
    Well there goes the chances of this being good... Gonna be rushed just like SL T_T

    Most likely a last-effort cash grab from Kotick before he gets fired once Microsoft takes over...
  1. Advo's Avatar
    Far too soon. There's no indication alpha has started yet, and I would be extremely concerned with a beta period that lasts less than 4-5 months. I know they want to exit Shadowlands as quickly as possible, but the answer for that isn't launching another buggy, unfinished expansion.
  1. cuafpr's Avatar
    i predict a buggy launch not even in beta yet.. is it even F&F alpha?
  1. rhorle's Avatar
    I would say this is surprising but it always felt like they were pushing for it to be this year. It is why they are super nerfing mythic sepulcher to get HoF finished.
  1. Dejiko's Avatar
    Wasn`t there another expansion that was promised to launch by the year`s end, but needed to be postponed?
    BfA or SL maybe?

    It`s not a guarantee then.

    You got to be kidding me.
  1. StillMcfuu's Avatar
    Seems unnecessary with Wrath coming out, they could have waited another few months. OW2 probably really hurting outlooks.
  1. wombinator04's Avatar
    Confirmed barebones rushed expac, but I mean that was confirmed when they announced like zero new features besides copying GW2 mount.

    Still hyped, though because the zones looked good at least.
  1. Stormxraven's Avatar
    Wasnt shadowlands delayed too? I'm going to assume this will be too. Unless they are much further ahead than everyone thinks...
  1. ExtremelyCrusty's Avatar
    $90 collectors edition to play a rushed expansion yesss
  1. Aleksej89's Avatar
    haha sounds like war3 reforged all over again, management rushing out unfinished games.
  1. Malorne the White Stag's Avatar
    Guess this explains why drachtyr feel so limited. Must be saving a crapload of dev time for themselves.
  1. Mhyroth's Avatar
    The mantra that they learned about their mistakes and will listen/adjust and not rush things (release when ready), feels very hollow and fake right now.
  1. Rucati's Avatar
    Wild they're gonna shoot for a release this year, will be interesting to see if they end up deciding to delay it.

    Honestly though I don't know what people are worried about. Everyone was predicting a February/March release anyway, do you really think an extra 2 months would make any difference at all? Maybe some minor bugs would be fixed, but as far as the content itself it would all basically be exactly the same.

    This does mean season 4 is gonna end up being absurdly short though, I mean it probably won't even start until August and then prepatch will probably be early December so it'll be like a 3 month season.

    It happened with warcraft reforged. Shadowlands (i think) got delayed by like a month but still made it within the original timeframe they promised.

    Do not pre order this, do not even buy this at launch. Blizzard does not deserve your money.

    Also this is rushed big time because they have lost a leg with everything they put out the last few years being dog crap. Only reason they are standing on 1 leg is cuz of microtransactions.

    Get your popcorn ready cuz when this shit show is released its gonna be amazing to watch.
