Launch times for WOD -and with no patch -how are you preparing?

Hi guys,

Saw this nugget on MMO-C but couldn't verify how they had confirmed this:

They refer to a blue post but I don't see anything mentioned of launch without patch. It's pretty cool if we can expect to jump right in without a patch -and more importantly with access to bots (let's all remember to exercise caution either way!). Can anyone confirm it?

FYI the launch times:

That's a UK launch time of (I believe) Wednesday 23:00 GMT!

Personally I've got my workspace (I mean battlestation) clear of clutter, beers in and snacks will be prepared to get me through the night. Going for big wholewheat tortillas stuffed with goodness along with Doritos badness -all about the balance brah! The missus has been told not to expect me even in the event of the Apocalypse (though I'd love a coffee if you're offering). My auctions since 6.0 are going fast and furious, clearing out as much inventory as possible -not Gathering -only Shuffling/Crafting. For the 12~24hr window of WOD I have a full stock of Glyphs ready and a small~moderate supply (not sure on demand...) of cut and uncut MoP Gems ready for the AH. Pretty much I've tried to sell off every kind of legacy ore and herb -I expect their demand to drop completely with Garrisons and the new WOD Gathering mechanics. And of course, I will be logged in nice and early --my realm is full and queue times are frequent, log in early to avoid them!

So now we all know the exact times and can expect expect(!) no patch with no logging how are you guys preparing??

Well i will let you probots go and farm WOD and throw all your stockpiled gold and mats into the market and probably kill the gold prices even more, while i stay back and chill using battlechest only. So yeah, i am not really excited for the expansion - at least not when it is abt botting.

 

I'll have no idea what I'll be doing since I'm a newbie, but I'll go out and do something.

 

Didn't get to play beta, and haven't even watched a single wod video so I don't even know where the quests start.

 

Please clarify this to me?

The launch is on the night of Wednesday to Thursday or Thursday night to Friday

TY !!

 

Wednesday to Thursday

 

I'm with ya on that. Only upgraded my main account to WoD. My two farming accounts are staying at MoP level and will be farming what will likely be a much more vacant pandaland.

 

Muchas Gracias for the answer !!!

 

I've got plenty of coffee, ryebread and plenty of Monster energy drink.

 

yea im gonna wait at least a few days after launch to start leveling 90-100.

This will gives leveling profiles, HB, and CR's to root out and hopefully fix any bugs.

 

Thursday 00:00 (Central European Time) = Wednesday 23:00, 11PM (Greenwich Mean Time)

Does that make sense, where are you from -what timezone?

Ah don't get me wrong -I've stockpiled *now* so I can fully enjoy the opening ! I plan very much of taking in the lore, I've avoided as many spoilers as possible and am essentially going in blind -though I have a fair idea for Garrisons. Nothing pro -I already have millions of gold lol -I'm very much set on enjoying WOD opening best I can hence the planning! ;D

Ah good call, I love Monster but how about the kiwi flavour from Relentless?!

 

all combat routines are updated to WOD!!!

 

doing an good old' smackin'.

 

I've never tried Relentless. After a quick Google I can conclude it's a competing energy drink? I'm lucky we even have Monster here in Denmark

 

I hope I'm wrong here but I have a feeling that wow will get plenty of patches the first couple weeks and HB will be down alot. Please tell me I'm wrong.

 

Relentless is the boy. I missed the Orange one before they changed the taste. Was buying that by the 48

 

You're wrong. But you're not. Mythic raiding doesn't start till December tho (afaik), so I don't mind too much. I'd rather we get out of test release and in to something more stable with more peace of mind.

 

Ah, Denmark -cool! Yeah it's a competitor, nice flavour if you can get it!

Well I hope you're wrong... but hey that's to be expected. We can be optimistic... the big patch is done -both Blizz and HB side -and Blizz don't want downtime (patching) themselves so hopefully we shouldn't see hotfixes.

It's probably server / performance issues that may bring about downtime more than anything.

 

Try downloading Zygor guides off EPVP for free - that will give you an idea

 

well they already made us do the grunt work of converting all wow stuff into casc as well as downloading a huge patch some other day which probably holds a lot of what WoD is...
