wow Weekly Dragonflight Content and Rewards Removed in the First Days of the Expansion

[Staff 953]

Blizzard have posted a list of weekly activities and rewards that will not be available until the very first reset of the expansion, 1-2 days after launch.

DF First Days Content (Source)

With the timing of the unlock of the Dragon Isles (Monday, November 28 at 3:00 p.m. PST / 5:00 p.m. CST / 6:00 p.m. EST in this region), players will find themselves leveling up with less than a day to go before the weekly reset.

We’ve configured Dragonflight to prevent most weekly rewards from appearing prior to that first weekly reset. As a result, the following content will be unavailable until the new week starts:

• Mythic Dungeons
• Dragonbane Strongbox from Siege of Dragonbane Keep (Epic quality)
• Grand Hunt Spoils (Uncommon, Rare, and Epic quality)
• The weekly quest “Community Feast”
• The “Aiding the Accord” weekly quests
• The “Show Yer Mettle” weekly quest
• Weekly Valdrakken professions quests of any kind
• Weekly PvP quests rewarding honor

We want players to level at their own pace without feeling like they’re missing out on a week of rewards if they fail to reach level 70 within a few hours after the expansion launch.

What are these weekly quests for? Mandatory stuff for resources or just "nice to have" things?

So my estimate:

The US gets Dragonflight at 3:00PM (Pacific time), EU gets it at Midnight (Central European time). Exactly the same time, just set in different timezones.

Based on a weekly reset of 3:00AM, the US gets access to the expansion for 12 hours before weekly reset, while EU gets access to it for 27 hours before reset. So, US has even less reason to moan and *filtered* about not having access to some of the content, since they have so much shorter time before it's unlocked anyways.
