I'm not sure, the PTR is down for now. Season 2 honor gear may, or may not, be 670 though.

Because FFXIV's expansion drops the 23rd. Cue the bullshit line from Blizzard that other companies releases don't govern their release schedule.

Or maybe because most companies want to end their 2nd quarter with a big release and plan these things regardless of what the other company is doing. But no, it can't be because of investors; the narrative doesn't allow for that.

Firelands patch also released at the end of June for the same reason.

6.2 next month.

The only reason for this post is to tell you stay away from FF14.

This was the announcement for Season 13 ending soon. On August 13th.

The patch came September 10th, almost a whole month later.

It's not always 2 weeks.

The fact that they also ALWAYS gave a "as soon as X date" before but didn't here should be enough to dissuade you from thinking "GUARANTEED 23RD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Is it likely? Very much so. Is it guaranteed? No. And I bet you'll still be shitting on Blizzard for lying to you if it doesn't release on the 23rd, despite them not giving a date.

That doenst mater soon by tradition is 2-3 weeks especially when you have release build like 90% of the tie that means exacly 2 weeks in some rare situations they can delay if notice some serious problem in PTR(thats why they say soon instead to givig us a date)

Just like they released a big content patch to counter Star Wars. I'm not arguing that doesn't also have a large part to do with it but don't insult our intelligence when it's obvious their content dropping the same day as competitors time and again is more than simply coincidence.

Already bought and paid for. There nothing in 6.2, but a raid, the rest of the stuff we been doing since launch. I might be back if they seem to make more than Timeless isle content.

Will you be able to buy 660 gear with honor, or did they decide to change things up?

Bnet friendlist cap is now increased to 200.
The question is, what if everyone are quiting the game. Does it matter now? Lol

After an in intense season of conflict in Arenas and Battlegrounds

Now, I wouldn't really call a game of "Stomp or get Stomped" (battlegrounds) and "My CDs vs Your CDs" (Arena) anything 'intense'.

Combining that with the sour effect from playing warrior, dk, ret and rogue ... just to find out the "general melee" is the class we play. With the rogue having stealth....

I think it's horrible how similar all the classes play these days. There is no "rogues have to work the positional requirement, but have quickly regenerating energy and hard hitting expensive abilities" or "paladin can purge himself from all kinds of harmful effects and stuns and selfheal. He doesn't deal a high amount of burst damage though." or the all versatile warrior that could bounce around a battlefield only if stancedancing...

Classes got so similar. I'd honestly call the last season the most boring pvp play wow ever had. Cookie cutter layouts previously was NOTHING compared to the 'even if different class, it's still basically the same'.

And since they aren't going "wow - 3 mill were allready bored out, the next content is not even a month of interest, after that only the hamsters have something to do (farm 4 difficulties) - let's change something radically!" nope. Same shit, different patch.
