Many people have been concerned or complaining about the time between each phase of the
Cataclysm pre-events going on right now in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, and Blizzard has responded with some excellent news. Zarhym recently posted that the time between the start of phase 2 and phase 3 was shorter than the previous phases, and players can expect the time between phase 3 and phase 4 to be even shorter. According to my calculations, there is the potential to see phase 4 at the beginning of the week, probably Monday or Tuesday. We live in exciting times.

I cant wait till the invasion starts, as right now the quests are over so fast that you get bored again in just a few mins : \
The time between the start of stage 2 and stage 3 was shorter. I can tell you the current plan is to make the time between stage 3 and 4 even shorter. ;)

Where's my authenticator, why haven't I done Phase 3 yet?
Oh yeah, I've been hospitalized...
Harvoc Nov 14th 2010 2:06PM
What happened?
shadcroly Nov 14th 2010 2:10PM
Staff infection in my leg.
Where's a healer when you need one? *continues to wait in the Dungeon Finder queue*
Gendou Nov 14th 2010 2:17PM
Clearly you need to stop playing caster classes.
No telling where those staves have been.
shadcroly Nov 14th 2010 2:18PM
But I like Mage so much! D:
Would a Spell Sword/Dagger + Off-hand work?
Schadenfreude Nov 14th 2010 2:19PM
Hahaha, just make sure that those healers don't cast any spells on you that conflict or try to heal the wrong leg. They get tired.
Prances in Underpantss Nov 14th 2010 2:22PM
Staff infection or staph infection?
:P
SaintStryfe Nov 14th 2010 2:41PM
had one of those in January, and was hospitalized too. I'm so sorry, I hope you feel better.
Krysti Nov 14th 2010 11:14PM
Funny thing me too! Been in the hospital since Friday -_- I want to see the stages Q_Q
Harvoc Nov 14th 2010 2:05PM
With things going so fast, I better do the quests on my main and not spend so much time leveling my alt lol.
Moloko Nov 14th 2010 6:02PM
People are complaining??!? I'm shocked and awed.
Vaeku Nov 14th 2010 7:54PM
Yeah, I *just* finished the Wrathgate questline on my Horde toon, and once I've done Battle for the Undercity tomorrow, I'll be able to hop back on my main, an Ally toon, and work on the pre-Cata events (I did the very first set of questlines, but have yet to do the others or do the rift achievement).
And I have to say, I liked the Horde questline leading up to the Wrathgate better than the Alliance questline. It further cemented how much I love the Forsaken's storyline and can't wait until Cata.
Tolkfan Nov 14th 2010 2:08PM
Wow, so we'll get something more than a few lame quests this week? Cool.
Schadenfreude Nov 14th 2010 2:20PM
I hope the elementals start invading cities soon, hunting for them in zones is a big timewaster. :/ I want my feat.
Darky Nov 14th 2010 2:30PM
The next phase introduces city invasions; my call is it will either happen after maintenance or on the weekend (thursday-saturday)
Natsumi Nov 14th 2010 3:03PM
Phase 0 lasted 2 weeks (Leaders gathered)
Phase 1 lasted 1 week (A few quests and Elementals pop up around Azeroth, and strangely enough Outlands)
Phase 2 lasted about 5 days (Those 2 quests we got that everyone complained about)
Phase 3 has been up for 2 days (Finishing up the cultist quests)
Phase 4 SHOULD be up tomorrow (the invasions) thus giving us 2 weeks until the next patch
Patch 4.0.3 should hit on Nov 30th or Dec 1st giving us a few days to enjoy the Shattering
Patch 4.0.3a should hit on the 6th, allowing the new race/class combos before Cata hits (as promised by the great Crab)
Aurilia Nov 14th 2010 3:19PM
@Natsumi Just to clarify, the Shattering does not actually occur until 4.0.3a.

Not sure why his comment was downrated.
Pre-Cataclysm event has been a bit of a letdown so far, especially when compared to the Zombie Invasion before WotLK.
Shadamehr Nov 14th 2010 10:11PM
Agreed, I voted him up, and also Ruby Sanctum was phase 0.... or maybe phase minus zero Lol :)
Sterb Nov 15th 2010 9:46AM
Natsumi,
Aren't the new race/class combos supposed to be available when the shattering happens? Everything I've read have said as much.
