1.10

[Vethon]

I also have no clue what's being referenced with Icewatch.

I would imagine this is in reference to the EU shard Icewatch, which is currently closed to character transfers.

And some people want it back open to transfers.

As for 1.10 changes:

Possible cross-faction LFD, maybe some kind of Raid grouping tool.
At least 1 more IA zone, maybe even allowing cross-faction IA?

Conquest changes.

Dying for some info on whats in store for us!

Ohhh I like this idea! I can't believe its never crossed my mind, but in a zone where both factions are it would make sense! I like.

I could have sworn they said that new hairstyles would be part of the expansion.......

They did, 1.10 is not the expansion it's the last major patch before it.

So like more 3 months for xpac.

Ah yes the Looking for Sliver may be implemented aswell.

I really hope November (as people are generally assuming) isn't the actual release date since 1.10 is the last update before the expansion... I don't want to go months with the same world event (assuming, obviously, there is one) or months without one.

[dead2soon]

Aye, maybe some new Master Dungeon ! Would be cool aswell.

How long has MMDSM been in development now?

I think we'll see 1.10 at the end of August, probably into September. And 1.11 will be the pre-event and maybe calling/soul changes patch for Storm Legion. And Storm Legion launch being 2.0?

If I remember right, I believe Elrar stated in the last livestream that 1.10 is the last major patch before Storm Legion.

Whiiiiiiiiiiich... if Trion keeps to its usual pace of content releases:

-1.10 will be out by late August (apparently the whiteboard people have made reference to in the past which pretty accurately has listed patch release dates said that 1.10 is planned for an August 29th release).

-Storm Legion will have about one and a half to two months from there to keep in tow with the rate of content updates. Meaning they could pull what WoW did with MoP's release (aka set it exactly one month after GW2 pre-orders get their early access - that is not coincidental) and set Storm Legion's release date for October 25th or somewhere around there.

And if they continued to keep to the content update patterns, we'd see Patch 2.1 (Or 1.11?) in December and a return (and hopefully an awesome update? *crosses fingers*) of the Fae Yule event

That's optimistically thinking though I'll admit (and using past patterns to make predictions - an expansion is much larger than a patch of course). If Trion so chose they could delay Storm Legion's release up until early December to keep in line with the "Coming this fall" statement.

1.11 doesn't really need to be a major content patch if it's the lead up to SL.

1.11 was also on that white board with a date of 7th November.

I see a Lot of peeps in this thread missed their most recent live stream.

They stated that 1.10 is the last patch before 2.0.

They also stated the main emphasis of 1.10:
To enable defiantly and guardians to play together more creating a larger player base for all aspects of the game. I Think the person who mentioned IAs that both could join was dead on. Also who knows how far this can expand: zone events, grouping in the open world, dungeons, instances, raids, guilds? Who knows

This also is the perfect prelude to 1.9 as the new main city is a shared city. I mean think about it, we have to unite somewhat to survive the slaughterhouse that crucia wants to bring. She don't care if you are defiant or guardian.

So that's the main thing. Other things is expect to see:

Infernal dawn modifications, like one poster said, that raid will be old hat come storm legion with three new raids. You can count on less than two hands how many guilds have even seen maelforge. That's not good if it's supposed to be old news soon.

They do always try to throw in something new of course content wise. I'd not expect a new instance with limited testing. But maybe t3 pa. Or something like that.

I'd also expect a new world event that corresponds to having to work with the opposing faction on something and definitely with preludes to storm legion.


Anyway. They didn't tell much in the recent live stream but they did say 1.10 last patch and with emphasis on bringing both populations more together for more peeps to play with.

Hopefully we'll hear more about 1.10 by next week.

Kind of doubting we'll hear much if anything this week with the Conquest event going on.
