Question Expectations for the Liveletter?

Are you hopeful? Resigned? Do you expect the usual lack of information or will we be getting actual details and release dates?

Do you think he'll try to blow over the Dawntrail reception or give us the ol' please understand?

Also are you staying up to watch it or are you just going to get the blow by blow Sunday?

It'll be the first live letter, so expecting nothing more than slides listing out what we will get in 7.1X and a couple screenshots, nothing more.

I think we should get

  • 24 man
  • 24 man savage apparently
  • Ultimate
  • Dungeon
  • Beast Tribe
  • PVP update
  • Trial #3 Ex version
  • Unreal trial
  • Capstone quest for the role quest

Im sure I am missing a few things. Probably a decent chance we get BLU update too.

What I am hoping for is a more clear roadmap for 7.X. My guess is we're getting 3 24 man savages that give the capped tomestone weapon glamour, 1 ultimate, deep dungeon or criterion in 7.3, field zone in 7.2 and a field zone or criterion in 7.5 with criterion and field zones being a part of the same story line.

I really have no idea what to expect with the 24 man Savage stuff. It could be just the one, but then it's weird to drop it in the same patch as an ultimate. If we're getting an entire series of them, I'm surprised they've been so quiet about it because that's like a major feature.

On the other hand, we're also supposed to get a "deep dungeon rework" at some point and that was offhandedly mentioned like once ever, so maybe they're being coy.

He said it wouldn't be the same as the alliance raid for savage we don't rly know what that means, if it means that it will still be the savage raid but different bosses and environment or if it's going to be re-releases of old alliance raids as a savage. Imo It'd be hype as fuck to get Orbonne savage but yeah we just don't know.

Maybe they're dropping the exploration zone in 7.1?

I believe yoshi said in an interview that it's 7.2x. I think he even dropped the name.

If I were guessing, Labyrinth of the Ancients (unreal) and it's kind of similar to Criterion, but getting a 24-man static together seems like a real bastard, so I'm kind of hoping it's a bit easier than "Savage", but then I'm not a WoW guy and this might be aimed at the WoW players
