[EARLY ACCESS] What's Going To Happen After 9.2? ...And When?

Added 2021-09-29 18:01:01 +0000 UTC

Will there be a 9.3? When's the next expansion? What about Blizzcon? We've looked at some past dates, and thought about the production realities of the game - so we have some pretty good estimates.

Hope you enjoy this one - but here's a question for you, Patrons. Would you rather WoW take a 'hiatus' to get a bigger and better expansion, or would you rather have regular patches, faster expansions, and have the game keep rolling?

[EARLY ACCESS] What's Going To Happen After 9.2? ...And When?

Comments

T&E released a good video yesterday talking about the possibility of a 9.3 patch. Essentially, the theory stated was that they combined the original plans for 9.1 and 9.2 together into what was released in 9.1. The evidence covered supporting that take is pretty compelling. Personally, we can't leave SL soon enough. IMO, they failed miserably with the overall storylines that they tried to put into SL. The main Jailer plot has a huge number of open questions that will likely never be answered. (WTF are sigils and why should we care? Why does the Jailer want to "unmake reality"?) The Tyrande and Night Warrior stuff felt completely rushed and unfulfilling. And I won't even touch Sylvanas and whatever is going on with her pretzel of a story. Adding to all the story woes is the complete mess of system designs that are entirely unfun to engage in. I constantly felt that my time spent in the game was not being rewarded appropriately. The constant grinds for currencies and other aspects needed to enjoy the activities that I wanted to engage in (raiding) sucked all the fun I got from raiding. The dev teams, especially leadership, need to take a hard look at their game and why people are getting frustrated and leaving to other games. They need to incorporate the pages and pages of player feedback given over the last two dubious expansions and focus on player enjoyment as opposed to player engagement. Just because I spend 6 hours in the game doesn't mean I enjoy those 6 hours. If that means the next expansion needs to cook for another year, so be it. I will happily come back to check it out and engage with it. However, I won't be doing 6-month subs any longer and Blizzard will have to work to get my playtime.

I would be fine with Shadowlands being 9.2 and done. The current storyline is trying to do a lot of things, some with great potential, some not with great potential (Sylvanas arc), some that could have been amazing but have been executed unbelievably badly (Tyrande/Night Warrior).
