3.0 information today?? PLEASE!!!!!!!!

One new ground based 8v8 warzone map since the end of 2012. And it was a redesign of an existing game type.
And arenas. But for people who enjoy 8v8 objective warzones...one. Since 2012.


I mean this with all due respect, but I do not need to be told what I *need* to do. Do you follow people around at restaurants and tell them how much they need to tip? If not, why tell people here whether or not they should be happy with a service they're paying for? (Just for the record, I ALWAYS try to tip generously, because I know that some other people are cheapskates and I try to make up for it at least as much as I can.)

Tactical flashpoints are one of the best ideas The dev team ever had. it allowed lower levels to join in the fun with uber players.

Will we be able to preorder this and get access to the crystal vendor?

why bother? the pre order crystal is useful for 3 whole levels
wow

assuming you have an orange weapon to put it in..if not, you can use a cc crystal that is awesomely better in the weapon you get at the end of your starter planet

Except that they were not implemented this way in the game. A 55 cannot do a tactical flashpoint through group finder with lower levels. Though they are good for running with less geared 55s in most cases.

Back to the subject of the thread, BW bungled the release of 3.0 information as many others have stated. It's really as simple as that. And I doubt we'll see this expansion before 2015. So stop trying to fool the players, it's just going to make people hate you more later when you announce the delay.

Sorry, it's my nature to dig deeply into posts. I can accept if information is getting delayed for whatever reason, it's your game after all, you develop it however you want it, but I don't understand it.

People aren't asking you to reveal the exact number of NPCs on the new planets or the exact nature of class changes, all of those are still subject to change this early (??) in the development process. The questions many people (myself included) would like to see answered:

- Will there be a level cap increase and if so, by how much? Are we getting new class skills?
- How many new planets are there going to be? Are you going to continue class stories?
- Are you going to release a new Operation?
- Are you going to add new Warzones or Arenas?

Now, these are the core concepts and the foundation any expansion is built upon. You are saying that you're planning on launching the new expansion this year. And yet you are unwilling or unable to answer these fundamental questions in less than 3 months before the supposed launch. Forget the announcement delay, there has to be something fundamentally wrong with the expansion if you're unable to share such basic information this late. That, in itself, is far more worrisome than a simple delay because it means you're still unsure about critical details regarding the new expansion.

I mean look at the timeframe here. A "couple of more weeks" means that you're not going to reveal anything before the 14th of October. If it's a paid expansion and you have any sort of financial sense or marketing strategy, you're not going to release it after Christmas. So in the best possible scenario, we're looking at a timeframe of 2 months and 1 week to announce, market, preorder, playtest and correct the bugs, based on player feedback. That's just not enough for a full, paid expansion. I mean Blizzard announced WoD more than a YEAR before its launch and you're going to go with lousy 2 months?

I am having a very hard time believing this is going to be a paid expansion that is coming this year. Either it's getting broken up into smaller segments (3.1; 3.2; 3.3) and you're releasing the first part in December, in which case it's not going to be a paid expansion, or you're holding the whole thing back and launching it sometime next year. I don't see any other option here. But the longer you're going to remain tight-lipped about this, the more untenable this farce is going to be become.

I'll speculate and you can place bets on the accuracy of it. Level cap to 60. One new skill per class. 1 planet, with a questline similar to Makeb, with no continuation of individual class stories. 1 new operation. 1 warzone. 1 arena. 1 starfighter map. All coming to you sometime in Q1 2015. Additional elements will get pushed off to later patches.

Usually I'm the cynical guy who would disagree just for the hell of it - but this sadly seems to be more and more the case.

Thx, for elaborating. I am patient, just gonna go on the Wiesn for with week^^

True... right up until we start unsubbing... It only works for so long...

We have over 200 accounts in our guild, I've never seen so many F2P players as I have since GSH launched... The subs are leaving and being replaced by F2P... at least from what I can see...
