A bit early imo

Agree considering 12.7 should land in December, which means hardly a break after Legion

It is likely 20th, prepatch event never started same week as patch, too many changes, too many bugs on patch day. And I realized why Remix must end with 11.2.7 - if we get 3rd DH spec straight away it would create mess with artifact weapon.

Whole season is following standard 8 week schedule on average (11.2 lasted 9 weeks, 2.5 will 8 weeks, December 2nd to January 20th is 7 weeks), that's why we suspected 20th January or something close for long time.

if they stay true to their 8 week cycle, 20th of january sounds not only plausible, but also expected.

after a long break and filling the tank with lemix, i start to feel a bit hyped for midnight, ngl.

So..if that is the pre-patch - what would the release date for Midnight be?

A month or so later.

If the actual expansion comes out a month after January 27th, at the end of Februrary/start of March, then it will have taken 18 months to release Midnight after TWW's launch. While on paper, it is impressive that they can get boxes out the door 6 months faster, you can definitely feel the shrinkflation as you get less bang for your buck month after month.

Right, thanks - sounds good enough to casually get all the stuff done I want to get done

Any1 got the full art of the DH? Looks amazing.

Yes, but if they don't get the new Xpac out the door after 18 months, instead of two years like in the olden days, people will cry like babies over the fact that there's no "new content" for many months. Blizzard will never be able to win with some people, but 18 months is probably the lesser of two evils for them.

Ridiculous take as usual TWW has more content than most any other expansion, 3 great seasons with back to back to back killer raids and had a great cadence that had zero "down periods" What more do you want kid lol

Can't help you with that - but since Void Elves will also be able to be DHs - time for my 40th alt
