MAGA - Make Alliance Great Again
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 even worth waiting on lol. Just play another game, WoW after WotlK has been shit.
June 29th or July 6th.
9.2 should come at the end of november if Blizz is still trying to hone their "release practices".
Why can't they announce it with a week's notice? The only reason why they give advance notice at all is because of the PvP season. While it is usually two weeks it is not required to be. If they wanted to hit a target date and would be ready they could do it.
As for Classic it still isn't a factor for Retail. The player base is usually different. Delaying a patch for no reason only hurts Blizzard. There is no reason to deny a patch for retail just because classic has deluxe editions and is popular with some players. The only impact Classic has is that it will help to cover the loss of MAU do to the content drought of Retail.

There are no rules that state what a .1 patch has to have. The only thing that makes this atypical is the delay from the pandemic.

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_6.1.0 you mean we can compare it to gem of 6.1 and the major feature being Twitter? Even after almost 17 years there is no patter for what is a .1 patch and what is a .2 patch. It all depends on what Blizzard wants to add to the game and that changes based on successes and failures of the past.

Please go over all the .2 patches and see what kind of pattern there is for them. If you don't believe my posts, go to YouTube and check streamers like Taliesin & Co. who agree that 9.1 is aking to a .2 patch and not a .1 patch. If that's still not enough, you just don't want to see the obvious.

Keep telling you that if it soothes your retail mind. Even Ion acknowledged the playerbases overlap and that's why they want to avoid another Shadowlands vs Naxxramas scenario. Blizzard isn't hurting themselves by doing Classic right. 9.1 isn't ready and for retail it really doesn't matter if 9.1 comes end of June or end of July, it's already too late.

Patches don't follow a pattern or rule just because streamers say so. There is nothing obvious that needs to be seen here. It is a patch with content. There is no rule saying only X content can come in a .2 patch and it is impossible or outlawed from being in a .1 patch. You said we had a pattern for over a decade now but patch 6.1 doesn't even follow any pattern. It was twitter and didn't even have a raid tier.

They want some room but are not going to punish one over the other just for the sake of giving space between the two products. Blizzard can hurt it self by delaying a retail patch because retail is still the main driver of profits for WoW despite the success of classic. Just because it is already late doesn't mean it the release date doesn't matter. Lol.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
Patch 9.1 is also very close to being ready. Most major testing appears to be done. We have cinematics being data mined.

July.
But my gut feeling tells me that it'll be August.
I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.
august, with the state of the ptr any1 thinking june or july are delusional

It doesn't seem so. They are still adding new stuff to the PTR. I never said they're holding back 9.1 because of Classic, 9.1 isn't just ready yet.
That would mean there are still plenty of people left after the content drought Shadowlands is having for several months now. People that stayed until now in retail will stay for 3-4 more weeks or even longer as they seem to simply not care if there's a new patch or not, they're just subbed. The critical amount of people left Shadowlands 2-3 months ago when 9.1 should have went live.
That's not true at all. 6.1 had Blackrock Foundry, when we go by that. Was it released the day 6.1 released? No. But it still released during 6.1. And although 6.1 was maybe the worst patch in WoW's history, it had a little bit more than just the selfie cam.
And there are very obvious things to be seen here, but again, you don't want to see it so you ignore it. No .1 patch ever brought a new zone into the game. Every .2 patch since Cataclysm did. See a pattern?

You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Yea its not gonna be this month.
Mid july at the earliest. Look at the PTR, they are still implementing new things that have to be tested every week.
If COVID is still slowing dev appreciably their IT and engineering management should be fired.
Look, I get that early on they needed to setup VPNs, figure out meetings and get all the systems in place. And there was the simple stress of lockdowns and how long this would last and all that. But by now any semi-competent software org has figured out the technical issues and while remote collboration isn't like in person, staff should be up to speed by now. Sure, some people will have kids at home who take attention which wasn't an issue when the staff was in office...
But come on.
