I have mixed feelings, part of me hopes it lands this week cause we’ve been waiting long enough and current content is pretty /yawn. Also my gf heads off for a month tomorrow soo that would be perfect timing to nerd it up and get some progression done lol

other side of it is new year new instance sounds like fun too haha

Oh… oh yes, that would be horrible if they released a new raid dungeon over a holiday season. Drama inc! “We have to raid to beat x guild!” “You aren’t a good player if you don’t raid over the holidays, it’s NEW CONTENT!” “You’re going OUT OF TOWN? Take a laptop!” “We totally have to raid on Christmas Eve.”

How about… no? >.>

On 19 Nov a Blizzard staff member said there was still “around 1+ month” before 3.3 would come out:

We only provide mirror links for full client patches. Background downloads do not count. You have around 1+ month to download this file so we’re not really worried about your speed.

Which is interesting because that would make it around Christmas time, and Blizzard have said they don’t like releasing major patches on holidays. 22nd Dec and 29 Dec seem most likely if it’s 1+ month from 19 Nov, but both straddle a lot of holidays stuff, so maybe it will be slightly later, on 5th Jan?

Unless the Blizzard poster is wrong (which I doubt, since they don’t freely give information like that and I’m sure someone would have picked it up and edited it if it was incorrect)? The fact that it says “1+” not “around 1 month” makes it pretty specific – if they had said “around 1 month” then you could probably twist it to be as little as 2.5 weeks (close enough, right?).. but they specifically said 1+ month from 19 November.

Personally I hope they leave it until very early January – Christmas is far too hectic to launch into new content. I’d hate to be a cutting-edge progression raider if they release it right before Christmas.

They reversed the rejuv nerf. So, it’s not losing a tick in 3.3. Instead, all the lower ranks are gaining a tick.
