We are planning an extended beta for this one. We’ll be doing multiple trips to Lamannia and lots of player events to give us all an opportunity to try it on various characters and gather lots of feedback.

So any ideas when it will start? and what prestige class is everyone looking forward to testing?

With the weather in Denmark recently, I no longer believe in spring. Or summer. We have two seasons, fall and winter. /sigh

But I would love more info, too, no matter the season

Where I live, it usually starts feeling like spring in February. While the east coast is getting hit with winter storms, we are looking at highs in the mid 80's.

I dont think I will be beta testing the new system. I am looking forward to reading about it, but past a quick taste of how it works, I want to see the final(ish) version only.

I am not sure but maybe if we pester then by getting this thread to a thousand posts they might FINALLY, give us some new info.

[Ape_Man]

it's still too friggin cold on the east coast, i'll give 'em a pass for that reason.

Not soon enough.

[chance2000]

Soon?
What ever that might mean.

At some point in the future (also; At some point)
We’re in pure Nostradamus territory here. We have a magic 8 ball and even it said, “Ask again later”.

In the future
This isn’t going to happen during any variety of soon you care to use. In fact, it’s pretty far out there. Not as far as ‘at some point’, we’re certainly not suggesting you book vacation time just yet, but, we’re probably talking about something that is possible within the current time line. Assuming, of course, the Mayans got it wrong and we’re still here after all that crazy ‘end of the world’ stuff.

In the near future
This is absolutely, positively, without question, a possibility. In fact, it might even be a real possibility. But as to when, we’ll have to get back to you on that one.

Soon™
No lie. It’s going to happen. It’s going to happen really freakin’, like, eventually. But it will happen!

“Soon”
It’s official! We have given consideration to a possible date and we now have several possibilities!

Soon
We’ve narrowed the date down to something within the calendar year!

soon
No really, we have a date now! It’s even penciled in on a calendar somewhere!

MoreSoonerish
We have a date, and we’re probably going to tell you what that date is…soon!

I always thought it was funny

[Vellrad]

Did they directly said what year is that going to be?
No?
Too bad...

This.

NOt to rain on anyone parade, this has been talked about since Jan 1, 2012 with the original "Let's Talk: Enhancements!" thread here:

http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=357100

And after the initial posts there wasn't much Dev activity in the thread.

Then it was announced initially that it was supposed to be released with MOTU In June 2012. Then it was postponed until further notice.

This post from Fernando in August 2012:

One more update before we get buried in PAX this weekend...

Yes we are also still working on updating our enhancement system. We're not ready to announce when it will be released - in the interest of keeping the system polished we'll be shipping it once we feel it is ready.

Then there's the quote in which the OP quotes. Now, Fernando has had a history of not quite being very accurate in his statements. Frequently over promising/under delivering. Don't get me wrong, I would like to see this ASAP as well, but history has taught me not to count on things said.

Spring goes to about June 20.

[Memnir]

Soon®.

[QuantumFX]

Soon®.

No.

SOON™!

Yes.

I would bet that it becomes a “feature” of the Expansion Pack.

[nayozz]

i am dieing to read something on lammania about enhancement pass

[whiteline]

late spring like June

[Matuse]

You all are silly. Glin didn't say spring of 2013.

[Krelar]

True but it would be a very strange definition of "this spring" if he didn't mean that.



Wait... This is Turbine, where "freedom of movement" doesn't actually mean that...

[AZgreentea]

I must admit, I am dying for some new info. Enchantment system, Second Expansion, Dev Journals, bug fixes, just something! Especially now that NWO has announced their fourth and final closed beta and the launch of their open beta.

I got my hopes up when Vargouille started posting in several threads. Sometimes when the devs get chatty again after a long absence it means that they finished something and news is on the way. Still nothing.

4th closed beta? then open beta? how many betas? when is the game officially launching then?
