When and what do you think will bring us the roadmap as we are heading to February

#326352

Now that we are in the week heading to February when do you think we will get the roadmap and much important what do you think will it present us?

Do you think we will get a rough preview what’s ahead like last year or more detailed version. (Because it took 2 more months to create)

I would love to see the roadmap this week but more realistic is mid/end of February.

I think we will get a roadmap like we've got last year. With Q2/Q3/Q4. I don’t expect much in Q1 than a minor patch.

What I expect:

Q2 Chaos Dwarfs/FLC/Mirror of madness/fixes/ROR4
Q3 more patches and fixes/ROR5
Q4 Lore Pack with FLC/Maybe a little surprise or Rework

What I wished but isn't really realistic: (with patches fixes every 1-2 months)

Q1 Lord Pack/Mirror of madness/Flc/Anniversary ROR
Q2 Chaos Dwarfs/FLC/New resources for Chaos Dwarfs and silk for Cathay
Q3 Lord Pack/FLC/Race Rework/Immortal Empires leaves Beta/More landmarks
Q4 Lord Pack/FLC 100th LL Lord/Major Rework of a few Races/More Land to the east (Playable with enemies for sea dragon)

I do think it will come relatively soon. That is to say not at the absolute tail end of Febuary.

I think it will be quite vague and unspecific and possibly shrouded in mystery making you wonder what the wait was all about.

The only thing there will be any tangible info about might be the next thing in the pipeline.

Last possible point in February.

Minimal possible data to be called a 'roadmap'.

This. Probably with Chorfs in June. Other DLC end of the year. Patch in between. Expect little and at least I won't be super disappointed.

Early/mid February, vague info but enough to know what and when to expect stuff to arrive, like the previous one.

This waiting game is so tedious. Glad there's some great games being released soon (Hogwarts!) to take one's mind out of the TW doom and gloom.

I’m guessing of course, while leaning to the positive but, I think they will give us a decent amount of info. They’ve started doing this, rather than small and regular info drops they go for big ones for high impact.

Ewwwww.

Kn_Gars#2718

I don't think the delay will have any impact on the format of the Roadmap or how detailed it is, the problem was never a lack of time to make the RM but rather getting approval from CA management. Likewise it is management that will decide the level of detail, my guess is that they will want the Roadmap to be as vauge as possible in order to make it possible to delay or move the release of content. I would expect a lot of "either patch 3.2 or patch 4.0 entries." At best we will be told if the next DLC release is a CP or LP.

It's a cash grab betting on the idea that your principles are less important than playing with a shiny toy.

It's the gaming equivalent of going to watch the latest Harvey Weinstein movie... (should one exist).

I’m not buying it but, it looks ok, especially for fans of the films.

Are you... are you seriously comparing a women saying that women are women and men are men, and believing you are something doesn't magically make you it, to the actual guy who raped, Harvey Weinstein that raped people?

There’s a difference between biological, legal and gender, although that doesn’t fit well on a Twitter post, so the conversation never goes further than that.

Although I agree, that if you like HP and like the style of game then you should buy it.

Yes. **** em all.

davedave1124#4773

Well, I’m guilty of carrying it on but, shall we draw a line under this conversation? I’m sure the OP wants his thread to stay on topic.

Some people think one side is right, some people think the other side is right and there are some in between.

I’m not being ‘holier than thou’ because, I admit I’ve given this some steam as well.

AxiosXiphos#9040

It's simple. I believe in the right of all humans to be free and live their lives in the way of their choosing with dignity and respect.

Anyone who infringes on the rights of others is removing that freedom. Quite simple really. So **** Rowling.

Playing Dead Space at the moment😬 so good. If CA is really trying to compete for attention like every other company, they are doing a really poor job.

davedave1124#4773

Crazy, I watched an entire documentary about how a single scene nearly stopped Dead Space being released. They put a lot of blood and sweat into that game.

This weird puritanism in our current society is seriously exhausting. You can't buy a book unless the writer is perfect, you can't buy a game unless the people that worked on it are perfect, you can't watch a movie unless the film director is perfect. If people have to stop buying something because the people that worked on the product are flawed then guess what, people can stop buying anything at all.

You want to boycott the game ? Be my guest but don't tell others what to do and don't try to make other people feel guilty just because you don't like it. Anyway, this forum isn't Twitter so that's my last comment out of topic and you should stop there as well. If you need to say how much you hate the game and how much you hate JK Rowling there's a great subreddit for you that is called r/gamingcirclejerk.

Well this thread took a turn....

I hope that it's a detailed one presented in a similar manner to the excellent Troy post-launch roadmap.

I expect it'll be full of mystery but my guesses as to what it may include:

Q1 - 'Mirrors' and patch 2.4
Q2 - Patch 3.0 and Chaos Dwarves
Q3 - Patch 3.X and some FLC
Q4 - Unannounced DLC



If they can't get as far as actually naming the Chaos Dwarves in this, then I lose another of the few modicums of hope for CA's marketing 'strategy'.

davedave1124#4773

If we get 3.0 in early April then the roadmap could come with the CD intro movie could arrive alongside with some further info about the following Lord Pack or a possible breakdown of all the possible types of DLC, which they did near the beginning of WH2.

From what Andy said about Cathay, they really want to release that stuff because a lot of effort has gone into it.

Troy's roadmap is how roadmaps should be done but I suspect that CA Sofia only got away with it because it was a Saga and a 'free' game on Epic. It had the right level of detail to both create excitement and manage expectations.

The hero of the story gets dragged through a number of rooms and areas by a tentacle.. something like that.

Funnily enough CA stated that the hardest thing for them to do, or something that caused them serious issues way back in Shogun 1 was the throne room screen.

razenb#1517

End of february we will get a post that the rm is delayed to the end of 2023.
Tbh i could not care less cause the fact that this company is unable to make a rm in a reasonable amount of time crushed all my hopes that this cash grab will be fixed one day

1v0#3562

20-30 days for now we will get a roadmap, it will say Q2 - 3.0 with a DLC (Chaos dwarfs) + ROR...
I'm not excited about the roadmap... or the RoRs but I do want my chaos dwarfs !!!

After that just fixes and maybe more RoRs.... .... URrrrrr I want FLC LLs not the RoRs...
And sadly I don't expect another DLC for this year (thou I want more DLCs, more content for WH3).....

Aaaaand im leaving again, will check this forum/reddit after 10 more days.

furtissim#2177

I disagree 100% with JKR when it comes to transgender issues, but that doesn't mean I should boycott her artistic output if I happen to enjoy it (which I do).

Really dislike this modern modus operandi where disagreement on x or y issue with someone means you must destroy that person's whole world.

Jesus, just Tweet/express that you don't agree with her when it comes to trans rights. AND still buy Harry Potter stuff that is of high quality such as this game. In other words: You purchasing the game is not a vote in favor of trans discrimination. It isn't. She is not running for president. It's ok to enjoy a novel/game about magic. Chill.

Having an opinion about gender that you dislike is not 'infringing on the right of others'. I also dislike her opinions on this, but this has nothing to do with some books she wrote

The world is not black or white. You will enjoy life when you start thriving on the gray zone.
