Why haven't we heard much about 8.2 yet?

[Nnyco]

Its almost like we had holidays.

probably scrambling to cover jobs since over 100 employees decided to take the pay out and leave ythe company. I amsure the heavy handed activision cost cutting and salary cutting is not helping to motivate the employees to make any internal deadlines

Dude chill out and take off your tinfoil hat, blizz always slacks on holiday.

[Onikaroshi]

8.2 won't be released until at least June, seeing how Uldir has lasted ~4 months.

8.2 will probably come out weeks, if not months before the raid. Raids are completely disconnected from patches now it seems. It's still far too late imo, the Azerite fix alone is enough to help the expansion.

[FelPlague]

Probably because they haven't planned it yet. Seems like they are in a mad scramble to piece together content right now, so it's no surprise that 8.2 doesn't even exist yet.

you mean the patch they spent a fair while showing us and talking about at blizzcon?
Nazjatar (Which will have followers who you do quests with and learn about, body guards you become friends with, sorta like the ones in bfa that you upgraded by doing quests with)
Mechagon
Azshara’s Eternal Palace Raid
Mechagon Mechadungeon
Gnome/Tauren Heritage armor sets
New Islands
Heroic Warfronts
Mechagon Arena
Flying!
Battle for Azeroth Season 3

They literally told us all of the major content that is coming in 8.2 at Blizzcon, so the entire point of your thread is completely incorrect.

correct... but he is right... 8.1 came out 5 months after uldir.
the new raid is coming out end of january so july is about 5-6 months after that, so same time frame.

1. those were GM's not devs
2. THEY LITERALLY FUCKING SHOWED IT TO US AT BLIZZCON YOU SERIOUS!?

Blizzard devs are too busy playing on their mobile phones to care about 8.2, I suppose -___-

Uldir released on September 4, 8.1 came out on December 11, or 14 weeks later. That's 3.5 months.

Battle releases Jan 22, so 6 weeks, or 1.5 months after 8.1, and exactly 5 months after Uldir. So we can expect a raid in June, but 8.2 may be before that.

yes i am sure those random customer service people in ireland were necessary to come up with content for WoW

[FelPlague]

I sure did, but that's not really concrete information - like a PTR build maybe? At least for 8.1.5.

CONCRETE INFORMATION!?
they literally SHOWED THE ZONES
how can you not get more concrete then a fucking video of the zones!?

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

We heard basically the rough skeleton at Blizzcon. The devs probably are just starting to return from Christmas Break today. 8.1.5 hasn't even hit the PTR yet. Battle of Dazar'alor isn't even out yet!

We're probably months off from seeing more about 8.2. If you're ALREADY at the whining for the next patch phase then you've gone nuts.

[Tomana]

you mean the 8.2 they literally showed at blizzcon?

Alas, they still can take 6+ months to release it... and cut 50% of the content.
After the steaming pile of turd called BfA 8.0, I am uncautiously pessimistic.

[Frostyfire14]

Yea, we won't see 8.2 until late May at the earliest. It'll be a summer patch for sure.

[Nightstalker]

8.2 won't be released until at least June, seeing how Uldir has lasted ~4 months.

That would be 8.2.5 with the raid release tied to the new Nazjatar zone. Same went for Tomb. Got released ~2 months after 7.2 release with 7.2.5.

[Onikaroshi]

Yea, we won't see 8.2 until late May at the earliest. It'll be a summer patch for sure.

My guess is, right around FFXIV: Shadowbringers release

[Vynestra]

8.1.5 needs to happen first, it'll prob be on the PTR in a week or two, once everyones back from the holidays, things slow down.

[Re4leader1]

Because its basically like wod where they have nothing and trying to put together some garbage to shit at you before they miss their oh so important deadline

[Gurahk]

Those were gms, I'm pretty sure they're not the ones developing content.

[Druidzorz]

I don't care about 8.2. Thats a ways away, I care about becoming a Zandalari troll. Thanks.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Why are you making things up? It doesn't help your opinion at all.

[Sae]

There are plenty of valid criticisms to make of Blizzard right now but "They have said nothing about 8.2!" is absolutely not one of them. Did we watch the same Blizzcon?

[McNeil]

Its at least half a year away from release and I expect that that want to release the Zuldazar raid first before delving into the next upcoming details..
