I like the idea of leveling alts in MoP Remix. I just don't like that they are then held hostage on those servers until Blizzard releases them. Would be nice to be able to convert a character from Pandamonium to retain at will once leveled, geared or whatever so that I can prep them for the expansion.
If pre-patch comes during Remix my guess for release would be August 27th. So new players have a week between Remix and TWW for pre-patch event.Also Gamescom is in the week of the 20th and past releases showed they dont release an expansion while Gamescom was running. Legion launched 1 week after Gamescom and BfA 1 week before Gamescom. Also i hope Blizzard is there at the Microsoft Booth maybe they do it like Legion and you can play it a bit there.
I'd expect timerunning to end the week before prepatch at the soonest and a week before TWW launch at the latest. They're not going to put that integration too close to the TWW launch. August 19 is almost certainly a target date that can still shift; if the expansion delays and timerunning is at all popular it will be extended.
I doubt they would overlap the Remix and prepatch events. But honestly, people speculating when prepatch and expansion is going to launch is hilarious. Alpha just came out, there's probably still a while left in the alpha before beta comes out and even more weeks of refined tuning. I wouldn't be surprised if its a mid-late October release.
those gold sink tmog items go away in august as well. likely correlating with some form of release, be it prepatch, or expac launch
Lots of confidence in an Aug release. I was expecting later. I guess I'm just so used to the much longer 5month+ alpha/beta cycles. Looking back SL > DF was actually kind fast. Schedule seems plausible but really tight to make an Aug release. Without having tested any max level content publicly yet I worry about their ability to course correct with such a short runway for a (predicted) Aug release.
Oke hear me out. It can end on 19th of august. Prepatch likely come some days later. TWW can be released on sept 18 or 17(idk about american time) Thats technically still summer untill 21…
