Can someone clarify the timeframe of Quarter 2 please?


April - June I believ? Q1 should be jan - march, Q2 should be april - june, Q3 should be july - september with Q4 being october - december unless I am mistaken.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Blizzard getting more "active" in eSports sounds interessting. the tournament in asia at the end of the year surely is part of this. (but hopefully not all)

Robert Clotworthy has been recording VA work for Jim Raynor as recently as last week (source, his twitter). I have trouble believing he would record for a game that would come out a year later.


A typical animated feature film (and I've worked on a few, so I know) records voices as long as two to three years before release. It takes a LONG TIME to do all the character animation that requires that voice recording as a starting point. Game cinematics are the same.

As for the guy who commented on "whipping out a campaign," here are some things they have to do that you may not have thought about:

...

And that's just the game development.

Oh you think making a game is a lot of work? Gee, never would've thought of that.

Yet here they are, 1,5 years later after the release of WOL saying one more year isn't enough to complete HOTS. After all, its just an expansion pack which means they can use the existing tools and experience to create the levels. Do you really think it takes nearly 3 years to do voice-over work and some cinematics? 3 years to test a fucking single player level when you already should have a pretty decent grip on how to balance them?

WOL they were making from the ground up, so I can understand why it would take multiple years to complete. However, WOL now creates a framework where they can expand upon with HOTS and somehow it takes nearly as much as time as it took to make WOL to accomplish that? When you still have one expansion pack queued up afterwards? What the flying fuck?

It's not "corporate bullshit", it's "finance and accounting". Companies need to be profitable, and this is how they track and forecast financial performance. Wouldn't hurt to learn something about the real world every now and then.

Blizz wont leave them alone with that content for a whole year


BT lasted a solid year or more at the end of Burning Crusade before they released Sunwell to tide people over.

ICC lasted a solid year at the end of Wrath.

So yes, they very well might leave people farming Dragon Soul for a solid year.


They said that they will release expansions faster

Didn't say I was surprised. I can read, and no I live in a residence at a university. Nice guesses though.

I'm interested to see how World of Warcraft is doing with some new MMO's coming out and SWTOR's success, should be interesting to see whats going on! Hopefully we can get a timeframe for when HotS is going to be released thats more up to date than a rough date from a while ago.


Swtor was released dec 20 and this Q4 represents subscription numbers until Dec 31. The real answer for wow subs should be in the q1 press conference.
