When's the new race dropping?

[Teh_Troll]

What month? July? August?

One thing is for sure: there will be zero hype and no sneak peeks. No warning of any kind. Just one day you'll wake up and there will be a new race.

And THEN we'll find out the designed it wrong and it sucks.

I'd assume presales with race/iconic/toys in the next couple weeks. Followed by expansion about 2 months later.

 

[svenofnein]

presale = pay to beta test

Way to put a damper on our enthusiasm.

Don't pre-buy the xpac this time. Really need SSG to make a few things clear before giving them any more money.

Total shocker 4 sure. (yawns)

Major new content always comes out before the close of a fiscal quarter. This way SSG has something nice to report to investors

Hmm do you think the expansion will be that soon?

64 bit Server transfers are supposed to be 2nd quarter and the aftermath of that with bug fixing could take long. (took months in LOTOR as I heard). And then expansion in the middle of that?

Maybe expansion will be first?

Typically it isn't too long after Lamania... like a couple of weeks for the presales. Then like a month or so for xpac drop.

It depends if they want some sales in Q2 or not. If they want to boost Q2 the last half of June. If they feel good about Q2 and want to polish it a bit more - maybe early July. I don't think it will be any later than that unless they run into unexpected issues.

 

[mbartol]

Ready or not, here it comes.



And, no, it won’t be ready.

Right after the exhaust system on my vehicle drops? Oops. Did the race appear yet? I must have been wrong. Nothing else to do in Newark while waiting for a tow truck.

 

[Yamani]

Clearly joking: Tomorrow!

 

[Nickodeamous]

I won't buy pre-sale again after MD unless ssg confirms that they have greatly reduced the rare items monetization. Just think...next year is lev cap increase with better gear. I highly doubt that new RL will be anything more than just gear tetris for same stats. But that's just me.

I think 2 months is the answer.

They wont polish it more. They will sit on it as is until release time.

This.

Also, everyone's favorite thing about Ravenloft, the quest teleports? NO WORD from SSG if they are bringing that back. We can only assume not.

So if I have to schlep through wilderness zones for quests and/or MD abusive mechanics? No xpac and a new game for me.

 

[Exolus]

i would say possibly even tomorrow after downtime.

 

[Nod]

Secondly, was the past life feat for the race or the iconic revealed?
