I'm hopeful we'll see a non-crypted PTR patch this week! Fingers crossed folks.

We have around 5 months between raid tier. In Legion it matched with 7.X.5 patches, but this time 8.1 was much later. So in BfA it's different.
Azshara's raid will launch in June or July, no matter which patch it would be.
And there is no chance for mid-May. They need some time to test 8.2 on PTR servers. We have clue from Magni questline (about 77 cycles) - which indicate that we will have something on 28th May. It may be 8.2 or some quest leading to 8.2 launch (like before 7.3).

Azshara raid in June sounds very unlikely imho. Blizzard is quite slow this expansion and I don't see them rushing this one patch when it's so important for BfA.
MAGA - Make Alliance Great Again
And rightfully so. If you want to give rewards on every levelup, you can't fill all levels, even if reduced to 60, with straight talent points. Some kind of lootbox with gear, special potions or other useful but not too powerful stuff could be used to fill the gaps.
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
So where do you guys believe patch 8.3 will take us? To a fight with N'zoth?
Or something as epic and surprising as Argus?
I know right? I can't wait to see the datamined models and Naz'jatar! Also it's been a while, how have you been bud?
I think it will be unexpected. And I think it will focus on the Horde VS Alliance fight, not on N'zoth. I mean, one last epic warfront about a major siege such a capital city, along with a raid could work. It would wrap up the Horde VS Alliance thing nicely, and save the substential fight (N'zoth) for next expansion!

I don't know why people DON'T think Sylvanas will be a raid boss after we just had a Jaina fight where she disappears and the players don't kill her.
That basically confirmed that Blizz is thinking of "big character boss fights" where we DON'T lay the final blow on them (an evolution of Garrosh, but he kind of "died" after Siege anyway) and we already saw how Sylvanas escapes confrontations (the team rocket banshee thing) so I think to complete the three cinematic female bosses thing she WILL be the final boss or one of them.
Sylvanas being a boss in the last raid =/= what everyone thinks the final raid will be (N'zoth or Siege of Org 2). It's much more likely to be Shadowlands if it isn't Nzoth related (and I don't think it is considering that would be three nzoth themed raids in a row).
We're going to have TWO raids and TWO corresponding warfronts: Silvermoon and Exodar raids happen simultaneously, along with Ghostlands and Bloodmyst Isle warfronts respectively. Kalimdor will be fully red with EK fully blue! So unexpected even Blizzard weren't prepared!
Nah but seriously I feel like it will be one of the scenarios people have already thought up: Either AvH focus or Old God related or Shadowlands or Void xpac etc. I can't imagine it'll actually be "unexpected". Like the burning of Teldrassil, people thought it was going to be more elaborate than it actually was (Because Blizz tried to make it seem so) then it was literally what people first thought all along: Sylvanas.
I also put a resolution to Sylvanas's arc as Warchief in any one of those because they're obviously building up to a conclusion of sorts with her as Warchief between all these patch stories.
Not only that, but it would be a lot of Old God in one expansion. We already had Uldir, were about to go into crucible, and even if Azshara is at odds against N'zoth, there is still going to be a lot of Old God stuff in her raid. Even in Legion, we didn't attack the Legion head on really until ToS. Plus, the ending will have to involve the faction conflict in someway, and i really don't know how fighting N'zoth relates to the faction war.

I think it might be boring but it makes it feel like an rpg.

If it isn't Nzoth I can't even begin to speculate. Let's see what's in 8.2 first.
