BLIZZARD has not announced an official release date yet. They're just not ready to do so.AdamSavage wrote:Boubouille is guessing early Dec now. =====> Insert Nerd Rage here <=====Boubouille wrote:Cataclysm pushed back btw, that's why you got another wave of funny Amazon mails.
Any release dates announced by anyone else are just speculation/a placeholder.
That includes Boubouille, no matter how accurate his guesses usually are. He's really good at predicting what Blizzard's got planned, but he's not always right, and I'm sure he'd be the first to tell you that.

Re: Cata Release
I've yet to see him right once, actually. Most people never listen to him. He's about as reliable as Amazon.....which isn't saying much.Kalliope wrote:BLIZZARD has not announced an official release date yet.

Mass generalizations are mass generalizations.
Point is, until something's been officially announced, everyone is guessing. No sense in anyone getting upset about guesses.

Re: Cata Release
This is off-topic, but check out this tidbit from just below that part of the link:
Blizzard doesn't want you to use Shattrath and Dalaran as portal hubs anymore, the latest beta update removed all the portal to the cities and replaced them with class trainers.
Sad Kalli is sad.

Re: Cata Release
I guess that works; I just had all these plans for my pocket Dalaran portal. :/ Although I suppose it is a pretty convenient spot to find class trainers now, since they're all clustered together. Say you're leveling with a group of different classes; it'd be a decent stopoff spot.AdamSavage wrote:Yah that kinda sucks. They put class trainers there.

The "upset" part hadn't been directed at you. I hadn't brought him up either; that was in the post I was replying to.

It's not guesses, he knows someone who works at Blizzard.

Re: Cata Release
Well I've talked to GMs and know someone that has a family member working for Blizzard and most workers don't know anything from what my friend told me and also other GMs. They know about as much as we do so unless Bou knows the creator or something, he probably doesn't have much of a clue, just like us. Blizzcon is coming up so we should have something more solid than word of mouth guesses, hopefully!Kalliope wrote:Exactly!

Re: Cata Release
Boubouille makes his guess based on the info he is given. He is/has been very careful when putting dates on stuff. Example being with patches. He has a very good track record knowing when ptr patches will go live. This is a far cry from being as reliable as amazon as you said before.Taluwen wrote:Well I've talked to GMs and know someone that has a family member working for Blizzard and most workers don't know anything from what my friend told me and also other GMs. They know about as much as we do so unless Bou knows the creator or something, he probably doesn't have much of a clue, just like us.
