7.4/7.4.5 will probably be the last (major) Legion content patches (they've mentioned a 'mini-Raid' coming after Antorus...) before 8.0, which will be the pre-launch Event/patch for the next Expansion.
Be the week ak reaches 55 id say , so 5-6 weeks away makes the most sense at the earliest. I still think it is mid dec it will go live as that is holiday season.
7.3.2 will go live next Tuesday 10/24 and will include some fixes and the Primal vendor. 7.3.5 will come out on 11/14 and will be the new raid.
Huh, that's a larger patch than I thought. I guess most of Antorus isn't in the game files yet or something?
I only hope 8.0 won't come out until July 2018 at least.
i don't think Blizzard would be dumb enough to release a raid before a Blizzcon. some here said they would to adress lore questions from the cinematic, but the raid doesnt need to be out for that, merely its prepatch. if raid opened the week before, as it as been pointed out, all raiders present on site would riot, including the top guilds and groups present for demonstration events. and it would set a precedent, which would mean that all big guilds would stop going to blizzcon and just buy virtual tickets "just in case". its 2-3 progress day for american guilds / 4-5 for european ones.i'm a proponent of the after-11/14 Antorus release theory ^^
they said they have two minor story patches to pave the way to 8.0. since its lore, thats about 1-2 month each, because they'll want as much players as they can to complete their storylines (even if they're short, we're speaking casual), and thats only when most playerbase will have completed Antorus, because they'll be 100% be linked to the end of the crusade. so i think you're pretty safe on that :p (plus they already said they want two years between each expac ^^)
