When the Blizzard developers have already announced the following update 9.2 and their content only a few days after the release of WOW Patch 9.1.5, the players reacted still behavior. It usually lasted several months from the announcement to the actual release. And even when only a few weeks later the PTR went online, most of them still thought of a release sometime next year. If Blizzard retained the original cycle — that is, the duration that a large patch is tested on the PTR, then we would be with the release somewhere in February 2022. or comes Update 9.2 but still this year?
Now the one or the other certainly wonders how the author comes to that patch 9.2 will come this year and thus not even a whole month PTR. I would like to explain that to you — it has several reasons. And even if I'm wrong, these reasons votes me optimistic. Because even if you do not mean a release more in 2021, you have a positive impact on the future of WOW.
The developers want to give gas!
In almost any interview that the developers have given to patch 9.2, they noticed that players should not wait for new content for so long. Although they have often claimed that in the past, this time there is another reason to believe them. Due to the obvious elimination of a patch, additional resources would have to be flowed in 9.2. In addition, Blizzard is currently on the crossroads. The scandal in summer, the Page around Bobby Kick and all the internal problems — that has everything WOW (Buy Now €14,99) not well-tan.
But now a different wind blows, What should not only point out in the sexy purge and the appearance of the company. If the developers deliver soon and well and to bring Shadow lands to a worthy conclusion, then only excited about the upcoming enlargement will soon be spoken and everything was, is soon forgotten. I can not imagine that the developers have more time than necessary in the face of which.
Earth Morris is incredibly good and finished
And a lot of time you have to leave it anymore. Because most of the upcoming patch, namely the Earth Morris area... actually it is done. Of course, that's not 100 percent true. But if one compares the current state of Earth Morris with previous PTR patches, for example Parthia, the Shadowlands-beta or NASCAR, then these did not felt so ready at the end of the PTR as Earth Morris already does. The areas in Earth Morris are already finished in the largest part. As if you could always celebrate your release on the live servers. Source: Blizzard here and there is still a Daily quest or there are still a few smaller bugs. In some places another mobs will be added — much more is missing. The campaign quests are largely integrated and work frighteningly error-free. Even little things like combatable pets or the various hidden and open boxes are already available. The puzzles, be it annoying mini-games or even in the environment integrated puzzles in Indiana Jones style — everything works straight well for Blizzard standards.
If the missing chapters are just as good, then the remaining PTR is actually only about finding balancing — especially the animal sets and the second legendary. That sounds like a great job, but does not have to take much time. Other features like the cipher of the first must be tested for functionality, but not to be tested for balancing due to missing player power.
Where is it still?
In addition to balancing and some missing campaign quests, there are still a few chunks that have to have the developers out of the way before the release of WOW Patch 9.2. The cipher system still needs to be tested. Here, the fewest players have been able to try the later Perks and test their hearts and kidneys.
The second would be the optics of Earth Morris. This is finished and could easily be published. However, in terms of graphic splendor against the four pact areas and even against Parthia, the area stinks a bit. If the question arises, if that is okay, or the developers still want to create hand here. That is quite possible. After all, the other areas in earlier test phases did not look as good as in the release version.
RAID can wait
The RAID still needs to be tested. But the developers have time for a long time, because the release of the raid is only a few weeks after the patch. Source: Blizzard The third big chunks would be the mausoleum of the first — the new battles of WOW patch 9.2. Here you have to say, the developers would have a little more time with an early release of the patch. Because even this time the RAID is opened only after the patch release. The time in between could also be in doubt about one or two weeks if it would be considered necessary.
So the patch could come quietly before the holidays, so you can explore the new area in the free days, which many of us have to explore the new area and familiarize yourself with the new systems. In the new year then the Raid opens his doors and get started. Some smaller things, as the dance studio on the dark moon year market would still have to be tested. Source: Blizzard By the way, the balancing of the animal sets must only be completed on the day of the RAID opening halfway, because you can not get anyway to the set items anyway. And we all know that after the first RAID week further adjustments are made — so it does not have to be perfect for the patch release.
Have you already played a little on the PTR and see the thing similar? Or are things noticed who will require much time to demand the developers?
