Oh yeah, Corruption vendor cycle also ends on the 6th iirc.
Cautiously cancelled my sub in case Shadowlands release gets pushed further away. If the damned prepatch doesn't release next week, something's wrong.
I would like a delay of Shadowlands release tbh. Gives me more time to get AotC on my fresh 120. There's a lot of grinding to be done that isn't just item level so it's going slow.
They are 100% having problems with something.
Hopefully it's enough to push the expansion launch some time forward.
corruption vendor cycle ends on 6th, it was always planned to be pre patch then, and the scourge event only has 3 weeks of different content stages
I would personally prefer Shadowlands launch delayed, Even if just by a week.
Would prefer a decent launch and it delayed.
Delaying is no promise it will be decent, nor having it released on the date they said. guessing and unknown. it will disappoint some and be fine to great for others. find a happy place, if its not in SL find another game that you can agree with, but i doubt ppl who make general statements about how bad/broken it is, will never be happy.. no matter what..
There is definitely reason to believe that something is afoot with pre-patch and Shadowlands in general right now; probably not dire, but if you see all of the commentators on YouTube (Bellular, Taliesin/Evitel, etc.), they've all released videos expressing with confusion/dismay that there are PTR shennanigans going on. Also, while Ion Hozzikostas is out on record saying that they intend to maintain the triviality of prior-expansion content post-level-squish, none of this is currently so on the PTR or in Shadowlands proper -- namely, any raid post-Cataclysm can't be solo'ed effectively, definitely putting transmog and achievement-farming out of reach for everyone.
There are some claims prepatch is actually being uploaded on US servers right now. Any1 can confirm this?
How do you know it won't be a decent launch? How do you know that waiting one week will all of a sudden make it a decent launch. You don't know either. For all you know, Shadowlands will have a decent launch without any delay.

It's not. The client will not update to the pre-patch until after the servers are all down. The servers are still up for another 30 minutes. They are trolling.
