It's time for another "I'm insanely jealous of these players' luck" post! Hallow's End is back and with it one of the rarer mounts (as it's only attainable during the event, 15 days out of the year), with players running the dungeon an insane number of times to get it. When do you think 8.2 is going to be released? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to check out our Patch 8.2 hub for the latest Rise of Azshara news. Obviously, the patch will become available for predownload at least a week ahead through the app. Mythic difficulty of the Eternal Palace raid and Raid Finder Wing 1 would then become available on July 22nd. We think the release date of Patch 8.2 is July 9th, with Mythic Season 3, Operation: Mechagon Dungeon, and Azshara's Eternal Raid opening a week later on July 16th. July 9th is the first date which seems realistic.It wouldn't make much sense to release a patch that requires plenty of hotfix updates over the holidays. July 2nd is too close to Independence Day.June 25th doesn't make sense, there's still a lot of testing to be done and the patch is bigger than 8.1 and a shorter cycle (70 days of testing) is simply unrealistic.Possible Release Dates: June 25th (70 days of testing), July 2nd (77 days of testing), July 9th (84 days of testing).Rise of Azshara is Battle for Azeroth's second major content patch and the biggest World of Warcraft patch ever, so it's quite logical that it requires more testing than Tides of Vengeance. The Heart of Azeroth Essence system seems to be mostly complete, with Conflict & Strife + Vision of Perfection being the toughest to balance. When determining a possible release date for Rise of Azshara, it's important to take many things into consideration, including things which haven't been tested yet on PTR and those are:Īzshara's Eternal Palace Raid (Raid Finder difficulty) The first major content patch for this expansion was available for testing for 81 days and while we had to wait a long time for Patch 8.1.5 and Battle of Dazar'alor to open, Blizzard clearly stated they want Mythic Season 3, Operation: Mechagon, and Azshara's Eternal raid to be available soon after Patch 8.2 goes live, but if "soon" equates to one week or two remains unknown. Patch 8.2 has been available for playtesting on PTR since April 16 and it's time to start speculating when the patch is going to hit live servers.
