I wish... but it's already Tuesday and we don't have anything announced

I'm only guessing the dates based on last year but what do you think?
With Q3 being a Quality of Life update, can we expect a full on Livestream this Friday and 6 weeks of PTS?
Or should we expect something more quiet?
An announcement could come soon...

Dont forget both q1 and q2 were 2 week later than usual this year
If they broke up the content release schedule, they may not follow a predictable pattern.

I mean how excited can you get about QoL updates and balance changes? Sure, they’re nice, but there’s nothing flashy about them which you can sell or present to the masses.
They’ve done lots of QoL changes in the past, so I’m really not expecting any OOMPH kind of surprise here that would make a stream as exciting as for dungeon or zone DLCs.
I expect a very lengthy forum post detailing all the areas they’ve tackled with that update and then specific threads further detailing the changes. Do we need a stream for that? I don’t know.

Isn't the all-in-one crafting station supposed to come out during Q3?
They could have other things like that to show us for the QoL stuff that people might want to see. It sounds like it's not just behind the scenes work or balance changes.

Well, I guess some people may find bug fixes exciting?

Really? Interesting... Chapter release date was on par with previous years, or wasn't it? I don't remember the PTS change. Could be me XD

Usualy capter release en of may(20ish) for pc and early june(5ish) for console. So this year pc were released on usual console timeframe. The january reveal was also 2 weeks later likely due to someone wanting it to go in the xbox stream.

I am always happy to see bug fixes, sure, but I have learned not to get my hopes up given the demonstrated quality of regression control.
