I agree that it can be a bit annoying to wait, but honestly, people are working from home, there is a virus that is affecting people, the alpha might be delayed, and that's okay. You being disappointed isn't going to make it come faster. Listen to the people who have inside info, the alpha is going to come out late March, early April. Until then, think of something else.

That's false, they can definitely release alpha from home, they can remote access and push builds, that isn't going to be a problem, it can be a FACTOR of a delay, but it isn't going to stop them.

By that logic they shouldn't be able to keep the game running at all. Not to mention the update going into Retail as we speak.

They can release Alpha just fine, the question is how much of a delay Corona caused.

You're disappointed and I'm losing hope.

The silence on this is starting to be REALLY shitty.

What was this gaming direct thing?

Nintendo direct. But that's off topic.

Ot: What zone do you think they will launch with?

[ExiHext]

What was this gaming direct thing?

Only gaming direct I can think of is the Nintendo Indie direct. I think that was today.

[Chickat]

Well I guess I better go farm rank 3 essences on my alts since it's Tuesday.

[Asphyx22]

This is honestly getting to the point that it's ridiculous. I wonder if they will be postponing until people can re-enter the office. Idk much about uploading builds, but I feel like we should at least qualify for a un-encrypted datamine at this point lol.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Nintendo direct. But that's off topic.

Ot: What zone do you think they will launch with?

I think The Maw is out of the question, so... Either the one people played at Blizzcon, or maybe the one which houses the group that got the most applause, aka Revendreth.

[Edward Wu]

I'm thinking...

This week: (March 16-20)
5-10% chance testable alpha releases. 10-20% chance we get a public dataminable build. 20-30% chance we get an Ion video, or an article on SL updates.

Next week: (March 23-27)
15-25% chance testable alpha releases. 30-50% chance we get a public dataminable build. 50%+ chance we get an Ion video, or an article on SL updates.

Week after that: (March 30-April 3rd)
30-50% chance testable alpha releases. 50%+ chance we get a public dataminable build. 70%+ chance we get an Ion video, or an article on SL updates.

[Chickat]

It's definitely revendreth or bastion. I have heard that revendreth is more complete though.

[Darkarath]

Doubt that we are getting something today as Hearthstone just announced its plan for all the year, and they probably wont want to take away attention from it. Although I hope that they prove me wrong.

[Dhomeli]

Ot: What zone do you think they will launch with?

Definitely Bastion considering they said the story is linear on your first character this time.

[Chickat]

So im guessing the zone order will be

Bastion>Revendreth>Ardenweld>Maldraxxus>The Maw

Or it could be Mald then ard then rev last since its the raid zone. I dont think they would put 2 dark zones back to back though, so im fairly certain Arden will be third.

[Edward Wu]

So im guessing the zone order will be

Bastion>Revendreth>Ardenweld>Maldraxxus>The Maw

They already said what the order is. Bastion > Maldraxxus > Ardenweald > Revendreth > Maw.

It's already confirmed that Revendreth is the last zone we go to.

Oh I didnt know they said that.

[huth]

Well, Ardenweald isn't exactly a bastion of light itself.

[Voidwielder]

Maw will be Tanaan'd, don't even kid yourselves.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Maw will be Tanaan'd, don't even kid yourselves.

You don't even know that, like there is nothing to suggest that.

[Nagawithlegs]

Maw will be Tanaan'd, don't even kid yourselves.

Considering it is where Torghast is... no.
