Even if the patch were ready, launching it a mere three months after 3.2 would create precisely the content whiplash effect you're describing. Also, launching the expansion a mere three months after patch 3.3 would be sheer idiocy. Guilds would not have time to finish the content, and the ones that did would have zero incentive to do so more than once with a gear reset looming two months later. <br /><br />That said, I do not think it's going to take six months (February) for 3.3 and the full two years (Nov) for the next expansion either. Perhaps they had to hold back more content from the retail launch than players might have preferred, but they have been delivering new material at a substantially increased rate compared to last expansion. I suspect that we'll see 3.3 in December/January, with the expansion approximately six months later (Juneish).Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-42212105553603507162009-07-29T21:31:09.808-04:002009-07-29T21:31:09.808-04:00There are some cogent posts on MMO-Champion.com th...There are some cogent posts on MMO-Champion.com that suggest the next expansion will be this winter probably in Jan or Feb. which, if correct, would mean that 3.3 will drop in November. If that's the case, it's really difficult to get exited about 3.2 because in fact you will be able to quite easily skip it and go on to 3.3 in a few months anyway.<br /><br />GC had a interesting post the other day on the forums. He said it's really hard to find a happy medium between those who want more content NOW and those whole complain about "progression whiplash". As someone who feels they are in the latter category, it was really nice to see the acknowledgment of the fact. Truthfully, I would rather see only one patch between expansion. If I get bored with WoW there are other games. But this drip drip of patches every three months really is a killer IMO.DeftyJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789593033625206881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-9303885018746776402009-07-29T00:06:29.386-04:002009-07-29T00:06:29.386-04:00I'm having alot of problems being excited abou...I'm having alot of problems being excited about wow right now. They're giving us everything we've ever asked for, but I think it may be too late for too many people. I know other Shamans like me are just so happy to be receiving that which we have wanted for so long. Oh well, we'll see how champions does, and next year when swtor comes out. Until then, I'll be a shaman.<br /><br />@keith: A level 70 shaman in pvp gear could tank shattered halls with 1 CC.Pangoria Fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148359926488188195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-64579168661656734862009-07-28T13:44:36.786-04:002009-07-28T13:44:36.786-04:00I learned my mistakes from trying to raid in BC.
...I learned my mistakes from trying to raid in BC.<br /><br />I played two months before wrath hit and did more in those 2 months did i did for a year and a half in vanilla wow and BC.<br /><br />I played this summer for 2 months, hit 80, did a few heroics as tank or dps. and did some solo achievements and old world raids that I wanted to see.<br /><br />heorics in WOTLK were so easy, didn't even use CC, and I tanked them in my WG, arena, pvp gear (lots of stm) with tank trinkets, weapons, and rings.<br /><br />remember shattered halls in BC? Yea, people didn't even try it without two CCs, and now we can aoe every group down in pvp gear.<br /><br /><br />anyways, my point is, I won't be back playing until before the next expansion. <br /><br />heorics were a cakewalk with 3.1 gear, so what's the point of 3.2 gear? Gear should only be upgraded if it is required for your gameplay function, not because it has an +10 stamina upgrade on it.<br /><br />good choice for yourself, i like your logic, hopefully some new interesting games will come out soon.<br /><br />here's looking forward to SWTOR!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296697308918246805noreply@blogger.com
