    Its going to release the 7th or 14th of Dec regardless if its fixed or not and Raids will arrive Jan 4th. That gives the usual 2-3 weeks to prepare and misses both holidays..

    Pretty much what I was saying before the b.s Oct 26th date they came up with..

    With how the prepatch has launched that sounds true that they would just launch it sooner to prove a point rather than release a polished product to be fair.

    I'd have to dig up the article but hopefully that rings a bell or two for some. Granted, it's definitely not a "from scratch" type of deal, and if Blizzard still says 2020 after they already delayed it I see no reason why to doubt them.
    The maw has already been fixed, they stated as is they needed to make some changes and would in the upcoming build, and they did, one of the main things being adding the dailies to the map instead of having to explore for them
    and also in this last week, adding more uses for stygia.

    maw is fine now, it just had some issues that have already been fixed, the main things now is balance, bugs, and 1 raid boss that just aint fun, but i mean they have pushed those live before.

    The forums and their blatant misuse of pointing out what they believe are logical fallacies instead of actually arguing the intended point being made, which is more than obvious given the context. It's always entertaining.

    Furthermore, Blizzard themselves have had multiple late November-Early December releases, and I can't find a source of them saying anything to the contrary. Regardless, history shows they are willing to do it regardless of what they have stated publicly.

    Congrats on the time off. You're in the minority.
    They did not say it was "off the table", they said it was unlikely. And why are you now shifting the goalposts all the way back to November?

    No I am not. People have been hating on the rental power system and want it gone. Nobody has actually suggested a better way to handle all the ability bloat and nobody liked pruning. Some people want to add more talents to current talent system and well thats adding more abilities technically. What answer is there and don't go on about this strawman argument, screaming strawman all the time isn't an argument.

    Well...they got their wish, eh? Don't see anyone being happy though
    If it helps, im happy. Im very pleased they made the decision to hold back the release, and now im hopeful they use this time to improve the game. November, December, 2021, i dont care, so long as the final product is worth the wait.

    Reading comprehension would like to have a word with you. They are specifically saying that the "soon" slogan has long since been forgotten by Blizzard, and yes, reforged is a prime example supporting that statement.

    Correct. Even if it's not ready they won't release it 2021 if only to avoid the bad PR that would carry delaying things twice. There was enough uproar the first time and they even had to proactively offer refunds.

    I'm sure before they announced the delay, several marketing and risk management people (if thats a thing) went carefully over the wording. If they said theyre still on track for 2020, I'll trust them if only because another delay would be an even bigger mess they certainly don't want to be in.

    This is circular reasoning, with nothing to support it. You are honestly just going around and around in circles arguing with yourself.

    I'm in no way taking it as gospel but if that's what blizzard has said then that's harder evidence than the literal nothing in the OP.

    Ah yes it would mate. My bad. I'm a bit exhausted from work is all. Been doing a near 24 hour shift at the hospital.

    These things happen - in the future, double down on what you said, and get overly defensive and cause some drama - this is the internet after all!

    jking obviously, not a big deal at all.

    pretty sure they were discussing a new date already before they announced the delay and they probably know already. I think we will get the date on the original release date with the invasion time aswell.

    Sure they could do jan but i doubt it since i feel like a lot is being redisgned that spring is looking more then likely
    December is not unlikely. If they release the first or second week of December it doesn't line up with the holidays, still pulls in holiday sales, and the raid wouldn't release until Janurary. It lines up perfectly for everybody involved.

    I personally would rather wait for a polished product, even if that means spring, but I highly doubt it will be the case. A prepatch that is almost half a year long would be bizarre. If they felt it would be that long, they probably would have postponed the prepatch as well.

    I think it'll be either in the first two weeks of December or else pushed off January. It's all speculation, though.

    For users it's not a bad idea but it's still very unlikely because many Blizzard employees will not be working the last week or two of the year due to the holidays. Releasing a patch when there's minimal support (either customer support, dev, QA, sever team, etc) available to jump on critical issues is generally a bad idea. Same reason why a release thanksgiving week is very unlikely to happen either. IIRC Blizzard has even explicitly said in the past that they don't want to release things during holidays, although I dont remember if the context was expansion, major patch, or raid.

    But, as I said, WHY is it better evidence? They have been proven wrong once before, and proved the "its going to be delayed" crowd RIGHT. Its 1-0 to those expecting delays vs Blizzards word.
