Are we really having a "They're gonna DELAY IT" conversation again?

Mate, any slightest hint about anything here sparks long conversations. Time skip super vaguely mentioned in the interview? WORLD REVAMP!!!!

Someone memes on world revamp in their post?

So I think in 10.0 they should un-flood Thousand Needles. </s-no-s>

Poor forums can't handle all this Shadowlands.

All hope is lost. PTR went back to Test from Release with tonights small patch. Oct 6th is what it is now.

[Hitei]

they can't delay an expansion date. not at this point

Sure they can. 99% of people aren't going to refund if they move it back to November, and the 1% that do will just buy it a month later anyway. Games delay release close to the planned date all the time.

Anyone else see more pages then there are?

It's an occasional bug.

Ion said that the accidentally removed haircolors would be back in the next PTR build. That in itself already implied the 6th to me.

Beyond that, there's the 2-week warning thing, plus the Corruption vendor rotation.

This is the final nail in the coffin for 29th - there's no way in hell they'll do server merges and deploy the pre-patch at the same time.

Sad face

Just thought of it, they want to finish all server mergers before releasing the Prepatch.

I know it's not happening, but I will be annoyed if they delay the expansion. I already have my vacation request in.

Ya, I would not worry no way they delay it.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

they're not delaying it. its absurd to think so. it's bad for business, especially the shareholders.

but the 29th totally was the exact date with all the evidence

Everyone forgot to include the variable of Server Mergers.

and the fact the first release candidate isnt usually the one that gets released

the 6th has always been a decent target but people like being very hopeful which is fine but it was obvious on monday that it wasnt going to happen

[Vasoka]

Rip the 29th. More ridiculous delays extending the farce that is BfA.

Play the coffin dance.

[Nyel]

Again, delaying an expansion would be pretty unheard, but... it’s still 2020 and Corona is a thing. That’s an excuse for almost everything. So it can be done without major hassle.

I‘m glad we can put the 29th to rest. I just have to find the guy that was dead set on next Tuesday and offered me 1 million gold if it doesn’t get released on the 29th.

[Sondrelk]

6th definitely seems to be when the pre-patch releases, though I feel that Blizzard reverting the PTR back to a testing build instead of a release candidate meant they always wanted a standard 4 week Pre-patch, but decided to go for a 3 week one when bugs showed up.

And yeah, I really cannot see the pre-patch being shorter than 3 weeks, nor for the launch to be delayed outside a proper Force Majeure like a sudden Covid-19 outbreak or a fire in the Blizzard offices.
