Dragonflight Season 4 Content Update Notes
MMO-Champion
I mean let's be honest here - 8.2.5 is still a minor patch so if they decide to timegate the War Campaign it will probably be like 15 mins of new content per week.
How likely do you think this will happen? I believe 8.1, 8.1.5 and 8.2 didn't timegate the story content.
Do you think we will see a full War Campaign tomorrow (US) and on wednesday (EU)?

I hope not, but I fear it might be. Otherwise this is a 1 day feature that won't last until Blizzcon, which seems to be the whole point here.

How long were all the other war campaigns? 1-2 hours worth of content? Do you think Blizzard wants you to rush through that small amount of content within a day? I don't think so. It could be released in steps and each of them has a significant event or cinematic at the end.

Considering people on twitter that aren't Ion/Lore/PR stupid are hyping up the patch and its contents, I'm not sure it'll be timegated.

Ya know, I might not like the story direction of BFA, but I really appreciate that Blizz kept a lot of things secret for this patch and they they are genuinely excited to see our reactions.

It could still be timegated, but open with something they think is impressive. Originally Posted by Fluffernut

War Campaign isn't time-gated, as far as we know.

Or they want us to get through it fast so they can move on to 8.3 and get news from that out of the way ahead of Blizzcon. Originally Posted by Haidaes

the 8.1 story wasnt gated at all, only thing that stopped you in 8.2 was lack of rep too, which you could speed up with the extra rep gains like pet battle or ancients.

I don't think it will have any timegating in the middle. But it might not be available right away when the patch hits.

No. It's probably a couple quests for about 1 hour of playing the game. I don't think it will be in any way time gated.

Nowadays everything is time gated in WoW.
That is as bad as timegating close to nothing. See classic.Last edited by Fred Skinner; 2019-09-23 at 04:38 PM.
Rinse and repeat. For the rewards. Send even more turtles into the water.

Locking it behind a rep (you needed certain plateaus to get the quests) is effectively time-gating. Originally Posted by Bennett

Pushing out 8.3 does nothing for them if we assume the last raid will have any plot relevance. It's 5 weeks until Blizzcon, us knowing what the last raid is will not make an expansion announcement any less awkward, no matter if it's 3 weeks before or 3 minutes before. So I don't see any reason why they would need to hurry here. Originally Posted by tyrlaan

I doubt it it will be timegated, and if it is it won't be timegated that much. This is because revealing/talking about 8.3 on the same day they are showing us the new expansion would make most of the 8.3 info old news and barely talked about as the new expansion would overtake it. Its a bad Marketing tool. Originally Posted by Sorgesh

No it isn't at all, its rep gated. Time gated is when X will be release this specific date and there is literally nothing you can do till that date (like LFR wings). It may take a specific amount of days to grind a rep, but the time it takes is completely up to how much time you want to put in. Originally Posted by Colmadero
