Prepatch : June 26?

[PrairieChicken]

So an announcement came up in Korean server, they are no longer selling Enduring Elixir of Wisdom from June 27, which is Wednesday (source). It strongly indicates that something will happen that week, perhaps a prepatch. Since Korean server resets on Wed->Thu, for US servers it would be 26th.

[Nevcairiel]

Thats unlikely on account of being too early. The 32-bit announcement specified the first of July as their cut-off date, so that would indicate it would happen after that at least, and the week immediately following that was largely discounted because of the Holiday on the 4th of July.

[Tainted0ne]

I would bet that with the Q&A coming up on the 14th we will get a pre-patch date.

[Lochton]

I would believe June 26 to be too late.

Edit: misread it as July.

not quite to be honest, most prepatches(with the exception of legion) came out one month before release

Aye, a month before. June 26th isn't a month, it is less.

Edit: Misread as july.

Aye, a month before. June 26th isn't a month, it is less.

A month before BFA is July 14th. So June 26th is more than a month.

Hah! Misread, actually. My bad. Saw it as July.

As for a more point on, I don't believe any pre-patch before the phasing out of the 32 bit client.

My money is that prepatch will launch July 17th, that gives them exactly 4 weeks to launch.

[Sangris]

They'll probably announce the date at the end of the upcoming Q&A.

I agree.

BTW did they ever announce pre-patch date, or is it just "surprise"?

Whats even in it?

Maybe a week or two before it, not very long-term usually.

Then you would lost. Dates for patches are annouced few days before release, when they 99% sure they will make it on time. Thanks our immature community that would create mega shitshow for any sign of delay.

Pre-patch will launch either 10th or 17th July. If I had to bet, I would say 17th.

[Pigglix]

Imo its going to be on either 10th or 17th july

Whats even in it?

Darkshore/Battle for Darnassus questline
Battle for Lordaeron
Artifact farewell and possibly turned moggable appearances
Mage tower challenges disabled
Class changes and squish
First aid gone
Profession changes/rescaling
Honor system changes (rescaling from Honor+Prestige to new Honor only and account-wide progress+rewards)
War mode most likely + sharding/virtual server merging in Legion zones

Whole lot of speculation here

Pre-patch is always about core system changes, which is what I listed - based on how it was in the last 8 (or so) years.

[iamthedevil]

I'm hoping it will be announced so that we have time for the mage tower. God knows i'll wait last minute.
