Please release 6.0 savage 1 week earlier than previous expansions

[OneTrueMiqote]

With the typical timeline, normal raids are released 2 weeks after the expansion, and the savage tier is released 2 weeks after normal raids. This means raid comes out December 21st and if you don't clear by Friday night then you're raiding for Christmas or risking not clearing week 1. Delaying savage by 1 week is also not a solution as it then collides with when JP players spend time with family. So either it is delayed even further, or released earlier. Between the 2 choices, I personally think 3 weeks after the expansion is enough time for the players who want to raid day 1 or week 1 to complete MSQ, while still giving enough time for the hardcore raiders to complete it before Christmas.

Too bad Japan doesn't care about christmas like the westerners do.

It would be a bad time for Japan too as some people start travelling around Christmas

more likely to be delayed than out earlier.

I'd rather have SE release savage after New Year's

I've thought about that and normally timing wise, it would be ideal. The issue is that it would already be more than a year since the last savage tier for this current release date, and the thought of even more waiting is appalling for many people who care about this content. Another lesser issue would be that the expansion raid tier is already pretty close to the x.1 Ultimate, and this means a long period of lull followed by potentially too much content.

Oh no! Risk not clearing week 1 >_< The horror.
I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that would happen xD?

Like really you're already worrying about that? Like Jesus

Yes, it's a pretty big deal in the raiding community, whether you are hardcore and want to go for that competitiveness or just have a static and require scheduling around the holidays. Just because you don't care about this content doesn't mean other people shouldn't care about it. And iirc YoshiP has said before that he doesn't want to release content around holidays (correct me if I'm mistaken).

I kinda doubt SE will adjust plans for previous expansions, but maybe it will be special due to the months late release compared to the past?

Assuming people are allowed to due to covid.

It is a big deal for the raiding scene. You're clearly not part of it cause your reply screams ignorance

Especially with how they said 6.0 would have a lot of story content. So they'll want to give people more chance to get through that.
