When is Patch 4.1?

People keep asking when Patch 4.1 is, the only thing we know is that the release isn't imminent. We didn't see any Release Candidate build on the PTRs and Blizzard is still implementing things left and right. If I had to give an estimation I would say the patch will hit the live servers before the end of the month if we're lucky, but definitely not before that.

the best guess right now from myself and other is probably the end of the month. based on the fact they are still doing PTR updates and haven't started the background downloader.

once you see the background downloader its usually 1-3 weeks from there.

4 months and no new content patch, and all hints it will be at least one more month until 4.1 and something new to explore. Then we can count several more month until 4.2 and the new raid.
If you ever wondered what annoys me in WoW... well, THIS is annoying me.

Anyway... summer is coming, the weather is already beautiful here, I re-opened our swimming pool... lot of things to do happy

If they were keeping up with the schedule WotLK maintained the first content patch would be this week.

Precisely the point I was trying to make. The more we advance, the less content updates (of ANY kind) we get.

What is most astounding is that the B-team isn't even creating anything that is actually new, all they are doing is recycling what is already in game.

And they cannot even do THAT in a timely fashion.

I wonder if blizzard seriously has not downsized B-team to a skeleton crew and their orders are simply to do as little as possible.

You can tell a patch isn't near when they keep adding to/changing it constantly.

Sometimes I wonder if they even have a clue, then I answer myself, "no".

It's like they try to cram as much crap into one patch that they think possible so that it's a sure thing that something f*cks up when it goes live.

They aren't recycling, they are "expanding" the troll story line. rolling_eyes

Well it's not a very extensive story line:

- they are a bunch of stoners who were for years, terrorized by a very very tiny troll
- they can't afford shoes.

It's not a lot to work with

It's hard to make "new" content feel epic when we have already fought Arthas, Illidian, Archimonde, ect . .

So what does the B team give us?

Shoeless trolls




Might cya all again once 4.2 hits and some real content comes out.

In 5.0 they will sell an "expansion" pack that consists nothing more than being able to finally fly in ghostlands.


And they'll call it "all new content".

You have to pay extra for that kind of feature!

It will probably end up in the Blizzard Cash Shop.

Yup and that is what always has bugged me about blizzard I remember when WoW first launched there plan was 1 expansion per year.Simple truth is even if ppl do not like Eq2 they both came out within weeks of one another and Eq2 10000% buries WoW in content.I would venture to say I think Eq2 has released more in free content than Blizzard has put out in paid expansions plus free content.

But when your king of the mmog world like Actiblizzard is you do what you want when you want.If Bioware does 1/2 the job they are capable of they will finally give them some competition and perhaps force Activblizzard to do some work.
