    How much warning do you think they will give for a silly little event? The pre-patch is already live, why would anyone need any more than a days warning?

    November 30th is a Monday which is after thanksgiving and would have been the same day that the US was to have Shadowlands if it released today. Remember Blizzard is doing a global launch so the US was actually getting it on Monday the 27th.

    I've never claimed that there won't be some attention drawn from WoW by other game releases. But it won't be a huge deal like you are trying to make it out to be. It is weird though that you are arguing against the point you were making in the first place simply because I am saying it was a crowded release time frame for Cyberpunk. Weird huh?
    Right, so you genuinely believe CoD is a "SP Game", even though the entire "campaign" is shorter than many games tutorials. You are being EXTREMELY disingenuous by trying to claim it is a SP game. This is a discussion about a games appeal when compared to other releases, and you are going to say, hand on heart, that CoD competes with CP2077 because they are both "SP games" when without any shadow of a doubt, CoDs appeal is clearly as a MP product.

    The only one that has mentioned it being a single player game is yourself. It has a single player component which is just silly to ignore. The competing nature is more from it being a shooter just as Cyberpunk is as well as the console market. Since Cyberpunk is also a console game which will be a large part of its sales.

    Your argument also defeats your original one. If Cyberpunk and CoD do not compete because one is primarily MP and one is SP then WoW as only MP can not compete with Cyberpunk. Weird how your stance changes based on your whim to be "correct".

    The person I quoted suggested it could no longer make a November release - I stated it is still very possible, although I personally think it is unlikely, they still have time. I dont see any issue at all with them announcing the event starting the following day when they announce the (hopeful) release date, i cannot understand why people think there will be extensive "warning" for something is minor as a small pre-expansion event.

    I would expect at least 2 weeks warning for the actual expansion, but again, these are unusual times, so anything is possible.

    You are looking at that wrong - it would become "overshadowed lands" if it launched against CP2077. The media wouldn't even notice SL, no articles, no attention, no free marketing for Blizzards brand.

    As it is an expansion launch isn't comparable to a major AAA release, but to launch within days of one of the most anticipated games in quite some time is a bit foolish.

    And, like many of us have said for MONTHS now, they have a built in ready to go excuse that is receiving a lot of sympathy and understanding - dem ronas.

    To be clear, I agree that the overlap is small - half the people I play wow with don't even know wtf CP2077 is. Wow is quite unique in that a lot of non-gamers play wow hardcore.
    Thats not true, we both know Blizzard will hire them to right a B+ to A- score article only to come back and write another one in 6 months hows its the perfect time to get back into Azeroth for the next patch lol

    You are extremely confused right now. When i suggested CP2077 and WoW would absolutely be competing for media coverage if they released together, and that i believed CP2077 would easily win that battle, you said this:

    But to try and support your own argument, you followed up with this:

    You are only talking about reviews - this isnt 1990 - i dont know anyone who actually believes an IGN score or whatever PC Gamer has to say. But what is a factor, is how much coverage it is getting on social media and other digital forms of FREE marketing, such as twitch and youtube.

    Right so you think a single player game competes with a multiplayer game. Yet want to dismiss a game that actually does have a single player component just because it doesn't allow you to keep attack me. Weird huh? CoD and Cyberpunk also compete on more then just the type of game but also the platform as I said in my previous post. Console is a large part of their market and even one of the stated reasons why Cyberpunk is being delayed. The used the struggle of developing on so many platforms as the reason for delay (PC and the 4 console generations)

    I haven't contradicted myself at all.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    Not at al, they may have anticipated being able to it this year, but things happen and come up and now cant do it

    Idk man, personally i was happy for the delay because i found it to be a great step by Blizzard but if they delay it even further after stating multiple times that it is indeed later this year, i will slowly lose interest.

    Telling me I’m factually incorrect without providing specifically what you mean by core issues makes me think you’re a dumb dumb. What is ‘core issues’ to you, if a system specifically made to be the center of how the game is balanced isn’t.

    They’ve said later this year which would suggest sometime between now and 11:59 Dec.31.

    Anything later will be classified as another delay on their part which likely won’t end well. The choice in language to say later this year suggests that it’s not even an option to delay again, thinking otherwise shows ignorance.

    What? Are you telling me you arent taking time off for the insane prepatch event?

    We need at least 6 weeks of notice before the prepatch event.

    Balancing isnt a core issue. Balancing is the last thing they do before the release and continue to do after release.
