Thank you.

Well IMHO 90%+ of updates could really use a third preview to ya know actually be polished and less buggy with perhaps less patches and hotfixes to the patches immediately after the updates go live. Just saying.

A 3rd preview would require acknowledging that it's not ready for prime time.

Instead, we will have hotfixes, emergency patches, and maybe even a loot bug that forces them to bring servers down because masterwork arrows vendor for 8k plat each.

Cordo kinda leaked the plans back in May when they announced WinXP obsoletion.

I'd expect Saltmarsh live very soon.

This is, IMHO, one of those updates that needs a 3rd preview, simply due to the scope of the changes. Not to mention the fact that they are completely reworking underwater combat without having that update be on a testing preview.

Just saying this is best post ive read regarding all new changes coming ty

Technically there's a good 3 or 4 more previews. 50.3 or 50.4 will be the actual finished product.

Please reconsider this decision. You haven't publicized a date, so you aren't bound to anything.

The changes this update are huge, and a lot of players who don't spend time on the forums have no clue what's in store for them.

Please take the time do do a preview, more QA work, and more communication with players about what's in store. My guild has a couple of founders left in it, and frankly, I think they're going to quit over this.

This is going to be a stormy update whether it's buggy or not. But buggy and hard to understand will do enormous damage.
