They can perfectly optimize Dragonfly's mechanics. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to have longer periods between updates in order to have more substantial and impactful gameplay updates. Best thing I've read in years. Literal blessing right here, please take all the time you lot need for these updates!! 2 hours ago, JoeW said: new lore shorts, new skins and occasional news on their own Does this mean we can look forward to a bit of clean-up on the most recent update? Willow and Wigfrid did get slid out of their own short and skins, and their trees still have a few lingering pains I've seen folks wanting addressed here and there. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evelo Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 2 hours ago, JoeW said: We have been working toward this goal for the past several months and this roadmap is where we will start with a newer schedule. With our new schedule we will be releasing 4 major updates; each containing a mix of QOL, content and additional character updates. In between these updates we will be releasing new lore shorts, new skins and occasional news on their own just to keep things from being too quiet for too long. Oh I love to hear it! Super exciting in my opinion! 2 hours ago, JoeW said: We have the Year of the Dragonfly Damn, was really hoping for Year of the Saladmander.

WenericMember Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Really cool news to here. Seasonal major updates should be an interesting change. At least while developing the rifts, I think the change should be for the best. That said, it will probably make the beta period more difficult to properly respond to feedback, so I do have some concerns in that regard. The regular skin drops tho is is interesting, and probably indicates that Willow and Wigfrid will get their archaic sets soon. I'm really excited for the change in philosophy to the shorts.The storyline did feel like it struggled to develop properly because it was stuck being attached to the update, which usually restricted meaningful developments to only a second or to of something interesting. Roadmap art is immaculate as always. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this fear of change on the part of the community people that liked fighting and figuring out strats for them previously likely won't like those bosses if they get changed and turned into something like the new mutated bosses, which, imo, are boring and are worse than pretty much all ANR bosses except maybe antlion and klaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guille6785 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I really, really don't think Dragonfly deserves a rework but I guess there's a solid chance she's getting one now. I don't blame Klei if they do rework her, because in recent months a lot of people here on the forums have complained about the fact that the fight "forces" you to use walls, even though this is not the case and there are tons of fun ways to fight her without them and without even using more resources, so it's more of a problem with players not being willing to experiment rather than the fight being bad. If the rework happens, my only hope is that they don't unnecessarily nerf her by giving her a stamina mechanic or by reducing the HP of the lavae so much that it invalidates all the creative strats people have come up with to overcome them. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes THANK YOU that was so needed monthly updates were cool but it was clear that you didn't have time to work on everything so it was all a bit disconnected or had something missing until a later update came that fixed it so the actual release felt like a beta... The biggest offender of this was frostjaw that didn't have the slipping mechanics in his arena and he just had 50 tons of random annoying ice and a bunch of bugs that were all later fixed to make a 10/10 fight but again that happened a bit later so it felt as if his og release was a beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hormiga89 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm actually more excited to hear they will be taking their time with the updates than if there would be an update. The game is feeling to rushed and isn't as exciting to hear about them adding something that feels like they came up with last minute. I'm sure they are probably burnt out at this point, but I'm glad they are finally going to take their time with this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike23Ua Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 My only request is that you guys don’t forget the Midsummers Cawnival this year, it went a year without any new attractions, and that made me a bit sad cause I kinda enjoyed the quirky little mini-games, it gave me and my friends something we could do in the game that wasn’t a major time investment. The Cawnival was originally announced as being a yearly annual event & I am Not sure if the Cawnival was forgotten or if other content got in the way of that. 4 major content updates, so I’m guessing they’ll be roughly 2-3 months apart? (I was always bad at math.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was always bad at math.) It's probably going to end up similar to winters feast & Hallowed nights, for better or for worse. Minor touch ups every couple of years but probably nothing major. 4 updates would be one every three months, though since it'll be at the end of March and they take december off, it'll probably be slightly more condenced. Maybe like Late March, Mid June, Early September, Late November? Idk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
