So... when can we expect to get the next 'The Road Ahead' article ?
Normally (going by previous dates) we would have seen it by now? We did get this about a week back-
It must be a bloody long blog/article if Matt has been writing it all this time...lol

I guess the dye system was not the real "omg" content they forced us to accept. So now they had to show all the concepts they had laid out for the next year's content....they are basically stuck and not sure how to hype the last hype spin they did.....lol3 -

✭✭✭My guess is he's going to talk about update 4 that will be hitting the PTS probably sometime in the next week. And then he'll be talking about what's coming up for update 5.
Hopefully he'll let us know about when we can expect the thieves guild, dark brotherhood, justice system, champion system and spellcrafting to come out. Or at least what order.Edited by Tabbycat on August 16, 2014 4:06PMFounder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

Although I really like the dye system, and myself had asked for something like since before launch I agree it's not all that fantastic.
Not that it isn't brilliant either, it's just that something like a dye system is a bit of a one-trick pony.
Most people will have an idea of what colours they want and what scheme. Even if they swap/upgrade armors they will usually use the same design. So however great a dye system is... its a limited interaction piece of content !
Kind of a double edged sword as far as content goes. (still I'm happy we have it) High Elf Sorcerer VR12 - Destro / Resto Staff

Yeah, I'd expect to see all that in the announcement.
Spell Crafting and the upcoming solo area/content are quite possibly the only two things that may keep me subbing. (so from my POV I'm hoping to see quite a bit of info on these) Edited by Phantax on August 16, 2014 4:14PMHigh Elf Sorcerer VR12 - Destro / Resto Staff

Yes, they had to focus on Mana skills balance in the first two Updates. As was the logical and intelligent thing to do.
But with 3 the balance there was far enough that they could give Stamina skills some love. So you will propably be unable to use that anymore with update 4.Elana Peterson (EU), Dominion, Imperial Sorc, Rune & Alchemy Crafting Char

I'll learn a new tune when they begin to put in the changes they should have put in months ago. Just because you're content with the current broken meta doesn't mean that the (dozens of threads and hundreds?) of posts on the issue/s are irrelevant or should stop being talked about.

The balance issues are somewhat less pronounced in pvp and vet dungeons because you can mostly trudge along. But with the release of Craglorn as the game's major direction for end game pve content, and the complete elimination of all but pure magicka builds due to the poorly planned dps checks, you get the nickname of Elder Mages or Elder Staves that people have coined over and over again.
Sorry, but these are HUGE problems that have existed well into beta and still go largely unchecked. Need I even bring up the poor werewolf threads that are buried and unacknowledged in some sub forum? Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
While they're making slow improvements to stamina builds, we won't be seeing people with stamina builds in trial groups any time soon at this rate. But hey, they're releasing a new trial (I hope there isn't another absurd dps check), and spellcrafting is coming down the pipe which sounds like even more reason to go magicka. I'd say they need to get cracking sooner rather than later eh?
/rant. My first post was meant as a joke, because at this point, all you can do is joke about the situation.

So you want info on what's coming after September's patch? You think it won't change or they're going to add something that hasn't been mentioned at Quakecon? I'm still confused as to why it's so important.0 -
