If they do things like they have for the last few expansions, neither raids, neither ranked pvp, neither mythic+ will be available in the first 2 weeks or more.
Realistically you will have more than enough time to level a character to max, maybe even two.
It still doesn’t make it right, or acceptable, but it’s more than enough to bash Blizzard for being greedy.
I mean, yeah…?
If wow is the only game you play, and you have spent decades on it, it really is no money at all.
It still doesn’t make it right to lock the release behind a 90€ purchase.
I actually have no problem with this, I even almost like this.
If you want, you can spend extra cash to play it a few days earlier, otherwise you can wait and get it for “free”. This drives sales, “forces” the most hardcore players to purchase the title, and ensures that gamepass players can enjoy first party titles on day one even in the future.
You are messing up episodes and plot points.
Frozen jogurt was the treat that alien Jeff presented to the other aliens that made then leave Earth alone. But Earth was not destroyed on that episode
In Brave N00b World, Earth is destroyed by nuclear weapons after Stan fails to kill a North Korean general during the Overwatch finals. During the last few hours both China and the USA launch “cultural pods” which collide. China’s pod contains Chinese ice cream, and that what the aliens found millions of years later, which leads to them recreating the planet.
I have major depression and I have watched almost every episode many, many times, I know what I’m talking about.
It was Chinese ice cream, but otherwise yeah.
I think the last time realm first achievements were a thing (for anything other than raids) was in Lich king, but I might be mistaken.
Since I wrote my previous comment, I thought about it, and there are advantages for starting earlier. Reaching max level gives you access to world quests, which can be a source of gear and reputation. It also leaves you more time to complete the weekly objectives before the next reset. If I recall correctly, last time (the launch of Dragonflight) you got an item you can use to increase the power of a piece of crafted gear.
For the average player it doesn’t really matter, but for the world first racers, it might.
