Yeah it bums me out but its being made better. Would have went great with my bday on friday. More bummed out we still dont have a proper time now.
Wasn't it supposed to be 4pm PST? it's only 3:13
It's fine, I hope we get the better version possible for Shadowlands, not the quicker
why is it sad? why do people keep saying this?its not sad its good. dont need another flop. stop saying its sad because blizzard will interpret that as we should of launced today. there should be zero misconception about this. the delay needed to happen. plain and simple
let's just say i'm glad it's not as it wasn't nowhere near ready for release
I honestly would've been fine with the polishing coming later
I am saying Monday November 23rd in the US they will drop it. That is a 4 week delay and yes i know that week is Thanksgiving here in the US but Blizz can and will pay ppl to work . Though i would not mind seeing a New Years Eave release just to see ppl QQ about the delay
The thumbnail is harshly inaccurate. It should be a "phew" rather than a teardrop. Nobody wanted another BfA rushed release, which is objectively what we would've had.
Thanks for this useful post.
Salt in the wound
Personally i think people are to quick to praise blizzard for this, i mean, they have been quite a few months behind schedule for most of BFA, most likely due to the heavy downsizing they have been doing over the past couple years. More than focusing on when SL will release, i think a more interesting question to ask would be why is it late and why is it getting delayed further (27 oct would already have been roughly 2 months behind average expansion cycle time). Realistically we'll never get an honest answer to this question, because it's most likely a case of mantaining profits (subs) while reducing costs (firing employees and closing filials and such). So yeah, delaying it it's preferable to releasing it in a bad state, but still really really far from the "good job" or "well done" scenario that many people seem to think blizzard handled, as far as i am concerned. Also getting a new release date would be nice at this point, considering this stuff was meant to be out tomorrow and all.
The 27th at Midnight UTC. Which would be 6pm EST in the US
