People who say it's rushed, what did you expect? 4 months of MH/BT + 4 more months of MH/BT, just with another 10 man raid, to get a mount from?If Blizzard would do this, you could count the number of active players on one hand after those 8 months. I think 4 months of MH/BT are enough. Blizzard just mixed in a 10 man raid, to gear newbies at the middle of those 4 months.And of course there are still people grinding glaives, but if you wait until everyone got glaives, there won't be SWP for the next 21 years. I personally would love it, if Blizzard would rush to WotLK, because I don't care about TBC anymore and want to play WotLK already. But I don't think that's what's happening. There unfortunately will be 5-6 months of SWP. 4 months in its TBC state and 1-2 months in WotLK prepatch state.
As of right now on the PTR, Sunwell Plateau is not gated at all.
Wrath here i come
I was thinking they might hold WotLK until November 13th, and have an anniversary re-release, but that's a Sunday... probably unlikely now, as that's a really long span of Sunwell, even if they held the release until mid June.
Its true Blizzard are rushing Classic to fill the void in retails issues rather than giving Classic the proper breathing time it really needs, not enough people are coming back to re-ride the rollercoaster the second time around ruining this outing is just stupidity of the highest order.the whole no changes mentality when small changes dual spec etc.. would've breathed massive life into the game should've been taken on board, Blizz think it'll be fine they'll just start it up again people need to firmly say no after Classic wrath is done 90% of the playerbase is also.
Oh man you Wrath babies. I really hate reading those Sooner the better and I am done with TBC. Let others including me enjoy my beloved and best xpac that was there 15 years ago. I like Wotlk it is my 2nd best xpac afer TBC but I want to enjoy this classic TBC to the fullest. So keep those comments low wiil you?
Curiously enough, the PTR client is exactly the same one as the live version. They only swithched "on" Quel'Danas and Sunwell server-side.Which means, our current 2.5.4 live client already contains Sunwell and Shattered Sun Offensive content in a perfectly playable state.This is interesting because, unless they find a catastrophic bug on the PTR, Blizzard could enable the Phase 5 content on live "tomorrow" if they wanted (so to speak)
Does this mean patch 9,2,5 goes live next week?
