Good to see news and all, but as a guild leader the absolute lack of anything regarding 9.2 content is terrifying.    I know there's reasons but keeping a group motivated during this will be effing rough.

im pretty disappointed atm. we basically paid 185-200€ until now for 2 raids and 8 m+ dungeons and tazavesh (tazavesh doesnt even got splitted into 2 parts so that we can play it as m+ like mechagon). even the only decent part of 9.1.5, the legion m+ timewalking doesnt start on november 2nd but ~1 month later on december 7th, it just gets promoted in the patch notes cause they got nothing else to show. also thats just recycled old content which doesnt need much work (dont get me wrong, i loved legion dungeons) and im not yet sure what i should think about it since you get ilvl 246 items out of it but only for 2 weeks and if you cant play (much) due to reasons you wont get the loot you like to get.

corona and the lawsuit all well and good (hope thats a saying in english aswell) but its time to get some sh*t done.

I assume we should see Tazavesh being split for heroic and m+ in next major patch, this is how it went before with this type of longer dungeons. But this doesn't look good anyway, they haven't even announced another expansion, which should happen around current time, but no Blizzcon, no online event either. When this should happen? No one knows at this point. So far, everything points out to 9.2 being the last patch in this expansion. Still, they can't blame everything on pandemic and the lawsuit. Perhaps it was supposed to end just with 9.2 anyway, but this got delayed even more.

i havent witnessed this myself because i dont watch many streams but a friend of mine with whom i play m+ regularly said that one streamer he follows (i forgot the name) said that he knows someone whos in the development team which works on the new expansion. the streamer didnt got any details of the new expansion but according to his source 9.2 will be the last patch indeed.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 20
      This week's affixes are: Tyrannical, Afflicted, and Bolstering.
      Healer Tier List
      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk A-Tier: Restoration Druid Discipline Priest Holy Priest B-Tier: Restoration Shaman Preservation Evoker C-Tier: Holy Paladin
      Tank Tier List
      S-Tier: Vengeance Demon Hunter A-Tier: Protection Paladin Blood Death Knight B-Tier: Guardian Druid Brewmaster Monk C-Tier Protection Warrior (down from B-Tier)
