Update: Shadowlands Launch Postponed from October 26 to Later This Year

Oh god I hope it fails so much. Let it die, please. It's just suffering at this point.

You seem like a normal well adjusted person. If you still play a game that you hate then that is a you problem and if you still frequent a fansite for the game but no longer play said game that is still a you problem.

I thought Legion was WoD 2.0? And then BFA was WoD 2.0, and now SL is WoD 2.0? Weird.

Legion was the best expansion WoW ever had and that will ever have. They poured their soul into creating tons of new and interesting lore and creating new systems to make the game more dynamic and they got only shit for it.

Only shit.

From a bunch of bitch ass players who should have encouraged them down this path especially after the atrocities that were crapdaria dailies land and shitlords of shitsville.

People have no idea why they even hate Legion, can't have any opinions of their own.

[Goat7]

TOOOOO FRICKEN SOOOON. GONNA BE A POOP SHOW.

They couldn't get WC3 Reforged by the release date they set, they had to push it back and it still was the worst release in the history of games.

After following the beta testing so hard for the last month, I REALLY wish i didnt see this date. DAT MONEY GRAB IS REAL

What are you even talking about?!

EVERY expansion is WoD 2.0. How, you ask? Please, don't expect logic from these people, just accept their feels on the matter and realize that you CANNOT enjoy the game, since they're not.

For the Americas... a... Monday afternoon launch?

Well, take that, WORK WEEK. ._.

We need to know a pre-patch date.. we are close to killing Nzoth and want our damn CE before it gets taken away!

I wager very soon. Quite likely that they'll give us around a month on the Pre-patch before Shadowlands, so that would place it somewhere in the second half of September.

[Omedon]

And still people forget that their internal testing is several builds ahead of what we see.

You are literally the first person I’ve seen saying this after I’ve been resisting for weeks! There are indeed still sane people out there!

By the time we are allowed to see things in beta we’re essentially just stress testing and offering opinions on concepts that the devs have already decided on. Yes feedback is useful, but we were never going to alter the course of the vision with our bellyaching, and we aren’t given an up to date build to fully and rationally opine upon in the first place!

[Queen of Hamsters]

But no pre-patch date? That's strange, I have to say...

[Onikaroshi]

Same thing happened with bfa honestly.

[Martymark]

Seeing this I wondered when the cinema for the expansion was coming.

Then I remembered it had already come out, and it was trash.

Amen to that, amen. People can say "I dOuBt ThAt" as much as they please, it's a fact that what we see is NOT equivalent to how far ahead they are internally. ^_^

To be honest, the early release date has me worried. I was thinking it would be late November or December. As someone who played through all of BfA and lead a mythic raiding guild to a Cutting Edge N'zoth, I can tell you that this expansion was a real slugfest. I'm more skeptical now than I ever have been, and I've been playing WoW and raiding since 2005. A lot of people quit during BfA and/or didn't enjoy the systems and philosophies. BfA was an unfinished expansion with many flaws, whether they were bugs in dungeons, poorly-scaled mythic raid bosses, endless grinds, heavy loot RNG, mission table rewards that didn't make sense, botched guild master controls, the azerite gear system, the benthic gear system, the corruption gear system, the list goes on and on. Man, I hope they are prepared for Shadowlands. I was really hoping for a late release date so they could take their time getting it right.

[Onikaroshi]

Well, they said 4-6 weeks for prepatch which puts it between the 15th and 29th, better hurry!

That said, that's between 3 and 5 weeks away so we'll see the 2 week announcement in the next few weeks.

Assume its next week and enjoy when you get a week more time. Not sure how knowing will otherwise help.

Time has nothing to do with it honestly, if they have a plan and the stick to it it's going to end up the same whether it's early or delayed, WoD had one of the longest development cycles and we know how that turned out.

[Zenfoldor]

Great, I've got 2 months to clear up my backlog....not enough time to get through much of it but still.

Please don't fail me this time Blizz. Legion was great, but BFA sucked, and two in a row terrible expansions would be an unprecedented and worrying sign of the future of the game.

[crakerjack]

Feel bad for the trick or treaters. Gunna buy a large bag of toffee and put a large bowl out. No handing out candy this time kids, Craker needs to get to level 60 and gear up for the upcoming raid.

Always amazin how people can have different opinions. For me MoP was the best expansion and while legion was good, it was too tedious for me.
