Hier, alors que la mise à jour 7.2 était rendue publique sur les serveurs live, nombre de joueurs ont été plutôt surpris quant au « manque » de contenu à effectuer dès le jour du patch. En particulier si vous aviez déjà terminé tout le contenu disponible au patch 7.1.5, et si vous avez suivi notre guide du Rivage brisé, le contenu actuel de la mise à jour 7.2 peut sembler pauvre.
Blizzard a réagi aujourd'hui, en précisant que divers contenus prévus pour la mise à jour allait arriver dans les trois semaines à venir :
- Les invasions de la Légion, le 4 avril, qui vous permettront d'obtenir le haut-fait Défenseur des îles brisées.
- La suite de votre campagne de domaine de classe, à une date encore inconnue, permettant de débloquer le haut-fait Les champions du Déclin, et de terminer d'améliorer votre domaine.
- La storyline menant (à terme) à vos montures de classe, à une date pour l'instant inconnue.
Il est ensuite précisé que d'ici un mois, la suite des chapitres menant au haut-fait Conquête de la tombe commencerait, nous menant jusqu'à dans 11 semaines au total. Le raid de la Tombe de Sargeras étant prévu pour dans (au moins) quelques mois, Blizzard devrait nous fournir des informations au fur et à mesure que l'ouverture du raid se rapproche.

Lore sur Patch 7.2 Content Release Timeline (Source)
We’ve seen some confusion around the availability and timing of various aspects of the 7.2 patch, and we’d like to clarify our plans for releasing the remaining pieces of Patch 7.2’s content:
- Week 2 (next week): Legion Assaults begin, first PvP Brawl becomes available
- Week 3: Chapter 5 of the Class Order Hall campaign unlocks, which activates new followers, new Order Hall upgrades, and class-specific World Quests
- Weeks 4-11: Ongoing story pieces unlock, leading up to the eventual opening of the Tomb of Sargeras raid, and the ability to earn Class Mounts
Several of these pieces tie into the overarching story being told in 7.2: our return to the Broken Shore for vengeance, followed by the Legion’s response, and the eventual buildup toward the assault on the Tomb of Sargeras and Kil’jaeden himself. With the release of Patch 7.2, that series of events is set into motion, but they don’t all occur immediately. For example, the upcoming Legion Assaults are a direct response to our initial attack on the Broken Shore. Those assaults, in turn, prompt some of the later parts of the Order Hall campaign. These events occur in a chronological order, and we want to give players the chance to be there as it happens, rather than having some of it unfold off-screen or rushing it along.
But aside from the narrative, pacing content releases helps with clear direction and player focus. During PTR testing, where we had the calendar advanced to allow for testing of all content in parallel, players were pulled in many different directions from the outset. While the heart of the patch lies on the Broken Shore, Legion Assaults were drawing players back to the original Broken Isles zones, and many Order Campaign questlines sent players to other expansions’ continents. With the content release structure we settled on, Broken Shore can stand alone as the initial focus of attention. We didn’t open the Tomb of Sargeras raid with the patch because we don’t want to rush players who are still progressing through Nighthold, but that same sort of logic applies to nearly all other features.
We apologize that that hasn’t been clear enough from the start, but hope that this will help relieve some concerns.
For clarification, the last bullet is being rephrased to say "Weeks 4-11" - hopefully that will help with some confusion there.
The Tomb of Sargeras raid is at least a couple months away, and we will be revealing more information on that as it gets closer to release.
