i think people take this game more seriously than they should; if there is no update on when the next game launches, it's not the end of the world.
After reading the to and fro of the comments I felt I had to give mine...Do I mind that there has been a delay? No.Am I annoyed that Blizz won't give us a new release date? Yes.To all those saying "it should release in 2021", I say "stop being stupid", why? Did any of you actually READ what it said on the shop page for the Shadowlands Pre-Purchase? No? It said "for release on or before December 31st 2020". That is an agreement, which Blizzard have to abide by. If they so much as tried to release on January 1st 2021, they would violate the sales agreement on the pre-purchase.The thing that bothers me most though, isn't the delay, or the lack of Expansion release date, it's the lack of release date for when the pre-launch content goes Live. Expansions usually have pre-launch content featuring exclusive stuff that can only be obtained during the pre-launch window i.e. the moment the Expansion goes Live, the content and stuff become unavailable. Because we don't have a release date for Shadowlands AND the pre-launch content, and because there has to be a large enough window between the release of the pre-launch and release of Shadowlands, I'm personally worried that Blizz will announce the pre-launch content TOO close to the Expansion, thus preventing huge numbers of players from participating in it and obtaining the exclusive stuff.Call me out for being silly or stupid if you like, but I play WOW for the fun and the content, and if players can't play that content because of Blizz, then what's the point of it being there?
Agreed, relax and go do other things while waiting for release. We know it's coming out before Dec / 31 so sit tight and relax man.
So fricking what? If you want to play beta go play beta... I rather play something resembles of polished, well balanced final product.
off topic, i know, but...
RemovedOn topic, sucks that it isn't out now. Just hoping that it will make late 2020 like they said, but on the other hand, I'd understand if a delay was inevitable to give us a finished product.
and blizzard EU is gone too, to add to all that.
It still says on Blizzard's game store that the expansion will be available later this year so I guess if everything goes well it will be released this year not in 2021.
I don't mind the delay cause I understand that lots of things has to be fixed before release and I have seen a lot of that stuff while testing on the beta.However, it is quite sad to see that most of my guildies are just straight up taking a break because there are no entertaining things to do in the game at the moment. Others are leaving because there aren't enough active people online to play with because most people are just not playing.We were thriving through most of the year, but now things are getting pretty hard, feels like the entire game is just going to sleep for a while.
Instead they are taking the time time to make sure they can force garbage systems on the players again instead of simply #pulltheripcord. I really hope this expansion fails so bad they have to make some real changes.
Lol, "polish" is that what we're calling it now?
Pls give Release date then we can see that date and relief.
STFU captain obvious
