It's non confirmed atm but it's blatantly obvious with the very long Maintenance downtime for this coming Tuesday, coupled with the revealing of all the cards today. It keeps with the tradition of past expansions and most people already figured it was gonna be in the 3rd week of August.
The patch on the 18th is likely the cards being added to the game, but not likely the release date. With GvG there was a big patch a few days before release that added the cards so that people could play with them in Arena. We'll likely see a TGT Brawl after the 18th, and then the official release after that.
Pushing the expansion to the Client Server doesn't mean it will be available for the players right away after the maintenance is over. I'm pretty sure there was a delay of a couple of days or even a whole week between the big maintenance for GvG and the actual release.
8 hour maintenance on the 18th this Tuesday? Ribbons disappear on the 24th if you set your clock forward hurrrrrdurrrr??? You guys realize that the 24th has just been a placeholder date all along and could have been changed with just a simple value adjustment right? Get your heads out your asses people, its coming out on the 18th.

Hey all F2P players out there! Try out my 100% free deck before trying to call this game pay to win!!!
Where did you get the 8 hour maintenance from? I don't see an alert from the battle.net desktop client.
On the main page in Blue posts......It could be just the Arena release...But i guess either way it's a release for me personally since am in Arena 98% of the time.
8 hour maintenance and people still think it's the 24th? Why would Blizz lose 8 hours of revenue only to do the same again the following week? It'll be next week and I expect the announcement over the weekend to keep the hype train rolling.

But don't Blizzard always have these multi-long hour server maintenance services on Tuesday?
Lol you expect 8 hours of maintenance to be sufficient to roll out TGT? The first day will be riddled with failed purchases and server overload, 2nd day will be plagued with inability to log in and auto kick off the server, Blizzard will shut it down on day 3 for another maintenance (fastest response time), 4th day will see the release on EU but NA will still have issues, 5th day they would have finally fixed NA.
There is absolutely no chance that Blizzard will announce the date just a few days before the release. No company in their right mind will give the public such a short notice for their major release of the year.
Last year, they announced the date one full week ahead of the GvG release. So don't hold your breath, I bet they'll try to warn us about the last chance to pre-purchase 50 packs for the "free" card back at least one week before the actual release day.
Hmm, there are two options here, either Blizzard gave us the right dates but the patch is 1 week earlier like last year, or blizzard gave us the wrong dates...
I wonder what it is...
The cards are coming the 24th, sorry people, but think for a moment
I agree I think the cards will come the 24th but where are you getting that blizzard gave us the dates? They still have yet to confirm anything. I hope they do something at least the 18th weather it be a brawl / introduced in arena. Just for a taste of what is to come before the full release the week after.

Obviously the 24th. the 24 th was the placeholder for thesimple reason that its the planed release. Its all like GvG where they anounced on a monday that expansion will hit on weekend. Also a release during weekend makes a ton more sense than during working week.
Will be the 24th for America, 25th for the rest for sure.

Nice to see, can't wait.
Why not the 24th?
Do you play Go/Weiqi/Baduk?

why the 24th?
if you change your date to the 24th of august the ribbons on the packs dissappear but still can't open them.

24th or after the 24th, according to reddit comments

There is zero reason for it to be delayed until the 24th. Also kills the hype. It's good to go.

For GvG, they let you use the new cards in arena over the weekend, then you could buy/open GvG packs the following Monday.
Feel free to add me if you play on NA! iMPose#1429
December 4th GvG was patched into the game and the GvG cards became available in Arena.
December 8th Doctor Boom becomes self aware and GvG is released upon the Hearthstone community.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't announce the release date today.
