Because the folks at Cracked have just laid out the plot for the Greatest Secret World Christmas Ever:
Yes itâs too early. Also TSW covered that already, it wasnât included in SWL last year though. http://wiki.crygaia.org/view/The_Christmas_Conspiracy
What year was that?
I know I missed a couple due to work and family commitments, and I just donât remember that one.
2014 I think, if Iâm reading the patch notes correctly
I think it is pretty realistic - even with all Funcom experience we have - we will get next part of Samhain and Christmas content from TSW.
Ugh the outcomes of Christmas 2018 worry me:
- Nothing, just repeat - NO, JUST NO.
- One year catchup - Please donât. Do more, especially if most of what else youâre working on is âjustâ Season 2 and not full restoration of everything TSW.
- Multi-year catchup - Please do. Itâll show youâre at least serious.
- Total catchup - Would love to do. Would expect from other companies. But I donât expect it here.
TBH Iâd almost prefer a staggered catchup, where each event they release one year of catchup and also something entirely new. Itâd avoid overwhelming (particularly new) players and avoid setting expectations too high for the future events, while also providing new content for the vets so we can have some surprises.
If the calendar doesnât say âDecemberâ as the current month, then yes. Itâs too early.
That goes for all the stores, television commercials, and anything else, too. If it isnât December, then itâs too damn early.
If they do that then that means theyâd actually have to create new content for 2019 and why on earth would they do such a silly thing?
Well as Peloprata brought up, Iâd accept an only 1-2 year catchup (so in this case ~2013-2014) as long as they bring other new things. Ideal could include involving New Dawn in something, and Congo in 2019.
While I would like new seasonal content, I would prefer that they devote the time to porting the Tokyo dungeons or Eidolon raid or making new story stuff.
Porting the TSW seasonal stuff gives us things to do with (presumably) less work than making things from scratch. It might be a little bit of a bummer for long-timers like myself in the moment, but in the long-run, it will be better for us.
Yes it is too early for christmas stuff. What itâs not too early for is Halloween stuff. Itâs never too early for Halloween stuff.
