Recently, the developers of WoW Classic announced Phase 3 for Season of Discovery. Already ab the 4. April you get the opportunity to climb ten more levels, enter a new raid, collect runes and take part in a new endgame event. While some players are always hungry for new content, it has been revealed Many players were surprised by this announcement.
In the past, it wasn't often that an update came too early for WoW players. Players complain, especially on social media, that they would have liked a little more preparation time or that the developers' resources should have been used differently first.

Players on Twitter direct their frustration primarily at WoW Classic developer Josh Greenfield aka Aggrend. As one player writes in a tweet, a week is not enough lead time to take vacation, for example, in order to be able to fully grind in the first few days after the new season.
Other players demand to focus first on class balancing, before releasing new phases. The shaman in particular is currently too strong from the point of view of some players. The WoW developer replies that the metagame will change anyway with the new runes and ten additional levels.

Imba-Noob also notes that there is currently enough classic content with Selffound Hardcore, the Cata Beta and Cata Pre Event. The announcement came too late and the content came too early.
The question often comes up, what happens to the old content, which players are still working on – For example with the Blood Moon event. At this point, however, the devs have taken precautions and are leaving them Coins from phase 2 are not useless become.
Phase 2 of Season of Discovery didn't start until February 8th. Less than two months later, the Classic Devs are already releasing the next phase. With more and more Classic versions, corresponding pre-events, test phases and new SoD phases, Classic fans have to use their time effectively if they want to play multiple WoW versions. Is Phase 3 of Season of Discovery coming too early for you?
