How long after WFA release before we can talk balance?

And we will be sure to see people play it once, lose and then immediately say something is unbalanced
Or possibly just look it and cry for the nerf bat.
Which means Balance should really be a forbidden topic until things have settled down a bit, and the balance forum should be unavailible until it has.
Or should it?
Edit:
"Never", means the Balance Forum should be availible from the start

Then it will be once a month/two months tinkering when meta develops.
Obviously riot control on forums will have to be established as people will scream mindlessly "OP! NERF!" at everything and anything they don't understand and can't use.
Also, obviously last option, knowing all stuff and not being able to talk about it literally pains me, but only 9 more days to endure.

If you don't think that the balance forums will be especially productive after WFA drops, you could always read something else Or, if you like, you could strap yourself to the mast like Odysseus and read without succumbing to its siren song. I plan on stuffing my ears with beeswax and doing my best to avoid the balance forum altogether. Strategy forum 4 lyfe.
Ah... but is Odysseus remembered or the rowers?

I think a lot will change, and not just 'a few new factions', but also gameplay-wise.
As relic said, this is a BIG thing, they are working on it since the beginning.
I hope people will take a few days/weeks to let it all sink in.
Though I must say, if there are some serious issues, they should be addressed right away.
I'm really curious about the ISU and ELE.

oh don't worry, there will be people screaming OP 5 minutes after WFA is released.

It's funny because USF is probably the weakest faction currently. The fact that people make balance judgements off such a video is simply retarded.

Exactly.
And from the video alone you can easily tell how to hardcounter them already as ost.
People expecting vcoh 'murica steamroll are up for a surprise.

And then other people tell them how they counter it, and how those strats get countered etc.
It's how a playable meta evolves.

I think it's always interesting to see the new strats that people develop that the game testers don't. That's where the problem comes - from trying to predict the unpredictable.

2 1/2 weeks. I´m more worried about 2v2+ rather than 1v1. I´m interested to see some combination of commanders.

That being said I really didn't have a handle on the alpha until around ~25 hours of playtime and even after ~50 hours i'm STILL learning subtle nuiances about each faction(I'm a slow learner). Its going to take at least a month for the average player (not the top players who will likely identify the most optimal units and builds really quickly) to figure out how all the units interact and how to react to all the different engagements.
There should be a front page post (satire anyone?) regarding the incoming shit storm in the balance forums.
