Patch 10.0.7 got an "official" release date of March 21, 2023 ON March 8, 2023.
Patch 10.1 got an "official" announcement ON March 8, 2023.
Patch 10.0.7 cinematic got released ON March 8, 2023.
THERE WERE EXACTLY 13 DAYS BETWEEN THE 10.0.7 CINEMATIC DROPPING AND THE LAUNCH OF 10.0.7.
Patch 10.1 got an "official" release date for May 2, 2023 ON April 3, 2023.
Patch 10.1 cinematic got released ON April 17, 2023.
THERE WERE EXACTLY 15 DAYS BETWEEN THE 10.1 CINEMATIC DROPPING AND THE LAUNCH OF 10.1.
I will LEAVE Patch 10.1.5 information out since it doesn't reflect the comparison between Patches 10.0.7/10.1 with what I am TRYING to compare with Patches 10.1.7 and 10.2.
Patch 10.1.7 got an "official" release date of September 5, 2023 ON August 7, 2023.
Based on everything above, we can make some "speculations", correct?
So, we "should" get a 10.1.7 cinematic dropping THIS WEEK since the 13 days (10.0.7) and 15 days (10.1) between cinematics and respective patches dropping lines up perfectly with THIS WEEK since 13-15 days before Patch 10.1.7 releases (September 5) would be THIS WEEK.
Now, additionally, using this same "math", you could "speculate" that Patch 10.2 "could/should" get announced around 13-15 days BEFORE Patch 10.1.7 releases, which again, would be THIS WEEK.
Tldr; Trying to figure out the semantics of when Patch 10.2 will be announced is exhausting. You can look at the "math" above and say, "it's going to be tomorrow/this week". Realistically, who cares about Hardcore WoW if you are a Retail player, right? Alternatively, you "could say' that NEXT WEEK would be the "PERFECT" week to announce 10.2 since it is an "off week" since Hardcore WoW is THIS WEEK and Patch 10.1.7 is in TWO WEEKS (leaving next week WIDE OPEN for some news to keep people juicing!).
