Dev Post KeithKanneg Posted March 7, 2018 Dev Post Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hey everyone, I wanted to give you an update on the status of Game Updates 5.8 and 5.9. After reviewing our internal test results along with the feedback we’ve received from the players on our Public Test Server (PTS), we decided release 5.8 is not ready and needs a bit more time to make the necessary adjustments. The new targeted release date for 5.8 is now a week later on Tuesday, March 20, 2018. This additional time will help ensure we deliver a quality experience with Izax, the final Boss encounter for Gods from the Machine. Also, while I have your attention, this means we will also move the release of Game Update 5.9 one additional week, too. We were planning to release 5.9 on April 24th, but the new date will be Tuesday, May 1, 2018. Thanks all, --Keith- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exocor Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I appreciate, that you inform us that early (No /s!). Moved our planned Izax-super-special raid into the following week. In addition, I hope, that things can be figured out properly and that Izax will be as promising as it sounded until now. Keep up the good work!

PennyAnn Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 So the launch of the new Conquest will not happen? What conquest event will run that week then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterceil Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Appreciate the heads up. My guild's looking forward to the new Conquest, but better to iron out any bugs with the patch in general than to release something broken and sour folks on the new Conquest system or Izax or whatever else is good in the patch : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ugh, this should have been announced earlier. Don't get me wrong, I want the new boss to be polished, so if it needs extra time so be it, but please realize that since you announced this would be a NiM-tuned boss with a time-limited title, players were building teams and scheduling raids for the announced date. Now having to reschedule is very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunafox Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Oh well, such is life. Thanks for the info. Guess those that were looking forward to Arcann will have to find another means of personal stimulation. Edited March 7, 2018 by Lunafox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCobalt Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I don't really have anything to do with Izax and that series but I *Do appreciate the "Heads Up" and Honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameYOL Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 A pity, but this gives me more time to level my alts for Izax and those new augments, thanks for the update, Keith, I appreciate the honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdeliaAgain Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The demonstration that test realm data and feedback is reviewed, considered, and weighed heavily enough to push a release is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyScruffy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 although I am confused to why the new augments are coming a month later, when they made it sound that they were making them to be able to clear the last boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckwith Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Keith, I just watched a Podcast you did with "Bad Feeling Podcast". In that podcast you say about raids that you would like to be able to release a full raid and release one like you did with the Gods op, releasing one every 2 months or so. You also, say that you will know more about if and how you can do this by fiscal year 2019. Does this mean that you are releasing a new OP this year or in 2019? https://badfeelingpodcast.com/ 25mins in on Episode 190.

QuinlanSaathis Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am just going to come right out and say it.... Screw the OP's!!! What are you doing with the STORY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
