THANK GOD I got my Worldbreaker on the last possible day.
That was actually kinda fun.
Any update on predictions for shadowlands release date?
I kinda want to jump into 8.3 right away but it is such a long period til shadowlands... there may not be much of a rush.

From a content cycle standpoint, yes, that seems very long. From a quality standpoint it seems like it would make sense. If they were open to critique during BFA testing they could have used an extra 5 months to launch the game in a decent state.Jeez, some commenters on the WoW subreddit want the expansion to come out in 2021. Blizzard should take their time, but that's a bit excessive isn't it?

Yeah, it's kinda dumb. More time doesn't necessarily make it a "better" expansion. However, don't rush it out the door.
August to November seems realistic depending on Alpha/Beta. Shadowlands is a possible redemption arc like Legion was and they want to get on that storyline as quickly and neatly as possible.
queue someone telling me Legion sucked in 3...2...
Absolutely but every now and then... you get someone who's just ADAMANT that it "ruined" something or another etc. You know how it is.
I also have a dislike for BC because of its attunements and story (which manages to be worse than WoD and BfA by a significant margin).
I have huge nostalgia for BC because of how it expanded Vanilla WoW. I also really loved the Illidan and Kael story lines. Attunements really did suck, but it was part of the story so I didn't mind doing it once on my main. I also took my first ever break from WoW during late BC which probably helped prevent burnout.
Were you on Whisperwind? I seem to recall someone with a name like yours.
I genuinely miss attunement.
But that's a different game, now. WoW is something else.
People hating on BC because it being a challenge and having things like attunements hurts me. That is what I loved about it, it's basically Vanilla but with QoL stuff. Raiding was really never the same for me after BC.
It's kind of a bummer that after all the years of being teased, Nyalotha is... just a raid zone. I wanted an old god zone to actually explore and quest in.
It's a bit like how the Nerubian kingdom ended up just being two dungeons instead of a whole zone.
since it's all kinda undefined
Wrathion's dialogue implies this may not be the "real" Ny'alotha since it's all a possible future so I wouldn't rule out the chance to actually have an old god expansion again in 6-10 years.
I kinda hate the Old Gods as a concept.
1. Seeing/fighting physical manifestations of eldritch horrors ruins the dread/fear they could bring. The same applies to every H. P. Lovecraft adaptation that shows the monsters.
2. Having the Old Gods easily corrupt characters and turn them into bosses means character motivation never has to come into play, which makes the story much weaker.
Side note: Fighting the Old Gods could be a good new calling for the Forsaken considering they can't be corrupted/controlled by them.
Has anyone else had world quests stop popping up on their map? It's happening to just 1 of my characters.
Blizzard thinks I need to blow away all addons and start fresh (not just disable them) but ughh I can't bear the thought. I feel it was addons then I'd have experienced it with multiple toons.
I'm inclined to abandon the alt for the rest of the content I think.
Try clicking on the magnifying glass button in the top-right corner of your map, and make sure that all the World Quest types are checked.
99% chance that works.
If it doesn't, then you can always backup your Interface/AddOns folder before you delete it (though that hopefully won't be necessary).
Good grief I must have lost some brain cells along with the sleep lately. Thanks.
There was a reddit thread today predicting a end of July release with solid numbers backing it up but I still think that's too early for Blizz. I say end of August still.
Getting ready to resub for 8.3 like....
"Oh shit, here I go again...."
It was nice playing all those other games for awhile. But new content is new content. I'm bummed I'm shelving Operencia. A really old school Ultima Underworld type game. Included with Gamepass too.
Oh, estimations based on the length the expansion has been out? Yeah... I am not gonna put much stock in that. I remember they said the development was behind compared to BFA at blizcon... so that is why people predict later release.
I wanna play but I've been playing with the same group since 2009 and they've pretty much all quit since BFA came out. I guess ten and a half years is a pretty good run with any group of online friends but I'm too old to make new friends.
