Place your bets, place your bets! The 29th or the 6th for patch?

Im going with 29th just cause Im tired of 8.3.

I'm going to say the 29th for hype surprise following the Thursday cinematic, but 6th is increasingly likely as they will want to give themselves as much polishing time as possible.

Exactly this. I can't take anymore days without some new juicy content, even if it's just customization.

[Vasoka]

The 29th it is!

6th, if it was the 29th they would have given the warning last week and sofar I have not seen anyone explain why they would have not done so.

[Zexaniro]

wow no warning today, looks like it's the 13th/14th! will be a short prepatch

8.3 was tiresome the day it came out.

It's not even noon yet in California.

But I wouldn't be surprised

[therumblings]

If we get any announcement it might be 5 minutes from now since they have been posting news around 10 PST for a while.

They might as well just give the final bit of class polish when Shadowlands releases proper. A single week won't do much more than give them time to add some tiny modifiers that could just as easily be added in a hotfix.

Crossed fingers. I am so ready for the pre-patch, honestly. Even if it is just the levelling or whatever.

I'm ready for those sick ass arcane mage changes.

Also I want to look at new gear so I can make a bunch of transmogs that I'll never get around to collecting.

I'm planning to do one for each of the Houses in Maldraxxus.

[Centerblock]

Definitely just waiting for prepatch at this point. I have a lot of alts I want to level but I'd like to wait for some of the changes and added spells, especially for tanks, before diving into them.

I already made a preliminary transmog based on the Castle Nathria HC set for Mail. Will probably not be able to use it at all until a month or two in, but it is if nothing else nice to have it displayed and ready.

I am also looking forward to theorycrafting a bit more on how I should play my MM hunter, or even if I should just bite the bullet and respec to Survival.

Not to mention the new levelling, which I intend to put to good use levelling a Dark Iron Paladin.

If they announce it they will probably announce it thursday/friday.

How is SV looking? I remember it was actually pretty fun during Legion.

I'm probably going to play around with some frost/fire specs but I'm mostly looking forward to arcane. I don't think there's a lot I can do with it but damn it's fun.

And I'm definitely gonna go through Exile's Reach at least once. I didn't on the PTR so I figure I'll try it with live. Maybe I'll look at leveling a few of the allied races to unlock heritage armor.

[therumblings]

My final predictions:

We will get the Jailer Cinematic on either the 24th, or 29th, just like Old Soldier. The Pre-patch will either be the 29th or 6th based on that.

the pvp season ending warning is already out.

It does not include a date no?
No "PvP season will end on 06-10-2020 (or 10-06-2020 for you silly Americans)", just a generic "things will end soon".
