    Or they bring real good content in 9.2 and 9.3. They can include all the cool stuff pll expect in 10.0 earlier. As mentioned, i prefer waiting some more time for good tier patches, than playing rushed out stuff, skipped content and then a rushed out 10.0. but this is just my opinion.

    WoD, which ended on the .2 patch.


    But because you think there's a pattern for two other expansions that you're right and demand timelines rather than, you know, Blizzards own words that this isn't another WoD?
    With the way SL is trending and received by the community, cutting losses early like WOD would be the wisest thing they can do

    SL is a lost cause, but if they worked hard they could make 10.0 more like 7.0 and less like 9.0

    Judging from 9.1 lack of originality, I wouldn’t hold out hope for 9.2

    This is coming from the same company that promised Sylvanas wouldn't be a repeat of Garrosh. Correct me if I'm wrong!

    But you see it isn’t a repeat because she drops a bow and he dropped shoulders and an axe

    Totally different. /sarcasm

    why do you listen to what he says?
    he can say all he want, if some effective activision manager decides to stop wasting money on a bad product no one likes anymore - they will stop

    The Maw is China

    This.

    Honestly people need to get out of the mindset of "I don't like it so it must fail!".
    This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
    Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.

    Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.

    This doesn't make any sense though from a company perspective. 9.3 isn't bringing them any fresh money. Features sell expansions, that's why all the "good" stuff is part of an expansion announcement. What you described is good for players, but bad for companies.

    I'll quote myself because the "not another WoD" argument to prove that 9.3 is coming is a fallacy:

    Ion: ... some doomsayers wondering "is this gonna be like Warlords? Just one tier?" No, there's gonna be something epic and mindblowing up next after this and that's coming along great (Preach and Ion then: aka 9.2. stuff).

    Ion basically answered what he considers as another WoD: just one tier. As 9.2 will be a second tier, they already avoided another WoD scenario with that. 9.3 isn't needed to make Ion's statement true.

    BFA reached a .3 patch cycle and I would say that expac was in a worse spot than SL currently is. Blizz is going to try to avoid having another expac cut short, simply because of the notoriety that does and it will negatively affect player confidence.

    The only tell-tale sign will be is if 9.2 sees a significant drop in content release. So far -- 9.1 seems to have more investment than 7.1 and 8.1 did on launch, so we can only assume support to SL has not been cut yet or is on the table.

    Dunno, hard to tell. Personally I’m hoping it’s one of the longest expansions yet, if they can keep me this entertained. I’m loving the lore from this patch, and it’s got me on the edge of my seat for the next new patch of lore in 9.1

    Don’t we only have a year and half-ish left for this expansion?

    9.3 may not happen and in its place a prepatch

    9.1 will be a lot of things happening time gated with the introduction of SoD the story doesn't stop there but only is the beginning.

    Yes they will give you for free content other companies would make you pay for, because that's just the kind of company they are /s

    Wait, did you like Legion?

    My man, I thought you disliked all of modern WoW. Not that this got any relevance, but now I lightened up. TBC ftw too eh?

    Btw, even less like 8.0 plz. I wished they scrapped 8.3. Man, that was the worst.

    nah my dude, Legion was fantastic, it is my 3rd favorite expansion of all time TBH. New class, new races, M+ was a hell of a lot more fun than it is in BFA/SL, the artifact weapons were much better than BFA and SL's grind, the mage tower > Torghast/Warfronts, and the raids were pretty good (first one was a bit soft, but nighthold made up for it). More than anything else, legion remembered that its supposed to be fun. Also, it is (IMHO) the best paced expansion in wow history. Right when you started to get sick of a raid, bam, a new one. Legion was the most fun i've had with WoW since WoW's golden age

    A lot of the things that don't work for me now, worked for me in legion. I loved TBC, but im on the fence for TBC classic but may dip my toes into it.

    Well, technically SL won't be another WoD since it will have two actual content patches. But SL certainly does have a WoD aftertaste... at least to me. I remember that eight months after launch, I used to play a lot, whether it was BC, Cata, Legion, or even !@#$ing BfA. But I simply cba to login with SL.

    Come on man, don't copy my mind. It is like it was me that wrote this Granted, I like SL way better than BfA, but I don't think we will get Legion quality again unfortunately.

    I always find it great when people who have quite the different view on things find something they really enjoy. Maybe it isn't so different afterall.

    If we get 9.1 in June/July, we'll get 9.2 at the end of the year, and then potentially 9.3 mid 2022. End of year 2022 release for 10.0. They can still do it.

    Taking into account that every single expansion since Cata had at least 10 month content drought, the chances of that happening are pretty close to 0, unless 9.3 is an absolutely lightweight patch.

    6 months between 9.3 and 10.0? Not even in Legion they were able to do it, and they were pumping out content at a much faster pace at that time.

    For that to happen they wouldn’t just have to catch up, they would have to accelerate their development.
