U37 Mists of Ravenloft Expansion latest news

Cordovan: We wanted to let people know that the second raid in the Mists of Ravenloft will not be releasing at the same time as the rest of the expansion, but will instead be released a short time later. We want to do a bit more polish on the second raid, but didn't want to hold up the rest of the expansion to get it done. Thanks! We expect the second raid to be available within a few weeks, but will have more specific information when it is available.

Indeed.

He also wrote it here:

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

there's probably a few loopholes that could be exploited in that second raid and they want to fix them before we can (ab)use it.

Yeah...you have to have at least a basic understanding of how the game works to be able to exploit it, so I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

It's far more likely that it's so buggy and broken that even the devs realize it's not performing well enough to go live.  Let that sink in for a minute, just how badly it would have to be fucked up for them to realize that considering some of the broken shit they've released in the past (some of which are still yet to be fixed years and/or decades later).

The dev responsible for the second raid is dealing with family issues.  The dev.

Honestly, as one of the chumps who bought the Whale Package, I'd rather see this than completely busted and unplayable shit like the first day of Dragonborn and those excruciating Simon puzzles.

As a matter of fact, I'd have been OK with the pre-order if Ravenloft didn't ship until 2018... But then they miss the Chrsitmas rush so that's a non-starter.

Either way, I've been seeing more new players bumping around on a few servers, which I'm taking as a net positive.

Hopefully a few stick it out past the Honeymoon period and rise above the bugs, ridiculous learning curve, and preposterous grind (HarHar).

Just when I think this company can't do anything more to surprise me.  This leaves me almost speechless.

Keep in mind that they consider the lagfest known as Defiler of the Just to be an acceptable level of working.

After seeing all the half finished bug riddled shit they've shot out of their digital rectums.......I find it hard to believe there is any level of "not ready" for them.

It's probably more along the lines of "We haven't even started it".
