SaerethDL Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Title.. its been a very long time since we had an expansion or any news of an expansion. When do you guys think one might be announced? Thanks. And how big do you think it will be? What might it be about? What new features might they add? All speculation of coarse.

tummiswtor Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Here you go. I think they will tell us some news. I don't expect on stream anything than: - Better gearing system (that means something completly new and useless) - Soon - Kai Zykken jokes - Exciting - Soon. - New items in CC market.

They'll probably wait till the new stuff has dropped, then have something for the new year, apodcast, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameYOL Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Maybe for the 10th anniversary but its hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyverarmor Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I highly doubt that. I love this game a lot, but it pisses me off that EAware has squandered the hell out of one of the biggest IPs there is. They state it makes money now...but man, they could be making SO MUCH MORE if they actually gave this game some TLC. Let's say I would be highly surprised if we get an 'expansion'. To be honest though, this game has never gotten a real expansion, compared to other MMOs. At most, they are DLCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTergon Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Maybe for the 10th anniversary but its hard to say. there is definately something planned, at first we were hoping it was going to be an expansion, but then DvL 2.0 was mentioned. Hopefully it could be both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlBuzzard Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Maybe for the 10th anniversary but its hard to say. It would be super cool if they did drop a few "hints". MAYBE one of those short stories like Hearts and Minds to kind of getting the ball rolling. MAYBE ?? One thing is for certain ... the natives are starting to get restless !!

jedimasterjac Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I think we'll see the next expansion in 2022, if I'm being quite honest. I'd expect two more "major" updates in 2021, one for the Malgus continuation, and then one wrapping up the expansion story. For whatever reason, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the state and future of the game, though. I don't think there's any solid evidence for it; I've just personally liked what I've seen from the devs, more or less since the Steam update and, probably, following the livestream tomorrow.

I'd say you're probably close to the mark (when it comes right down to it). I'm just hoping that a part of some of the updates might include what I mentioned earlier!

It could be, as a result of delays due to the pandemic. Hell remember in the beginning of the year when were meant to get 6.2 back in the summer? Wouldn't be surprised if it took longer for a new expansion either as a result of the pandemic, especially with the possibility of the 2nd wave causing another lockdown, etc. Edited November 20, 2020 by FlameYOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping an expansion but it might just be some major story updates with an expansion the next year. They said in the last livestream that the tenth anniversary would likely be something similar to DvL in scale; expect some sort of event that encourages us to go back through past content, not a huge story update. Though I would be pleasantly surprised if that happened! It could be, as a result of delays due to the pandemic.

Wouldn't be surprised if it took longer for a new expansion either as a result of the pandemic, especially with the possibility of the 2nd wave causing another lockdown, etc. To the best of my understanding, the update we're getting in December will be both of the planned story updates rolled into one. So, we're getting all of the story content that was planned for this year, we're just getting it all in the end rather than spanned out across six months or so. Further COVID delays could certainly happen, though; I'd say they have a good pace of work as far as development goes, but coordinating voice actors is probably going to be the biggest hurdle if new COVID restrictions are imposed, particularly because they have to juggle French, American, and German restrictions.

Some places worse than others ! Hopefully we can avoid a complete shut down again by taking better precautions and hopefully a good vaccine will be release soon to help as well. In the mean time: All our hopes and prayers for the team .. as well as others developing / making the game possible for us to enjoy ! If they need someone who's kind of handy at 3-D models give a shout ! (OK ... he's a bit slow ... but cheap !! ) (yes ... I'm just yanking someone's chain ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsillah Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I suspect there will be a new expansion in about a year. Why? Because next year December the game will have been out for 10 years. That's the type of anniversary that really is asking for an expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the type of anniversary that really is asking for an expansion. it's one of the thoughts that was originally popping around here, but then on one of the live streams, they said they were looking at DvL 2.0. But we've heard nothing about a next xpac Hopefully they are going to pull a rabbit out of a hat and do some real magic by doing both, but we'll have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vercundus Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Wait, you guys didn't like latest 3 minute Mandalorian dialog? I'm positive that someone checks that as an expansion for this quarter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarova Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Wait, you guys didn't like latest 3 minute Mandalorian dialog? I'm positive that someone checks that as an expansion for this quarter... 3 minutes? Was it that long? I hate everything about Shae Vizla (I know I'm alone in my hatred; I'll live) so that three minutes lasted warp-speed-space-barring-time for me.

JediQuaker Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Well, according to doomsayers, 2020 is obviously the year of the Apocalypse. Jesus was predicted to be coming back in March, er june, ... er, I mean July, ... ok, August...... Er, definitely November..... wait .. there's still December... 😂 Basically, no major game update, but no Apocalypse either.

ExarSun Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Wait, you guys didn't like latest 3 minute Mandalorian dialog? I'm positive that someone checks that as an expansion for this quarter... Right on the money. I am pretty sure there are some delusions that this counts as a major story update/content/expansion. As for mandos....its not that i dislike shae vizla, I just find mandalorians boring past the KOTORS and Revan Era, so I am not that excited about "story update" (tho its just a flashpoint) about them.

But it's concerning Valkorion, not Mandalorians. Edited November 27, 2020 by jedimasterjac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's concerning Valkorion, not Mandalorians. YUP !! IMO ... the Mando FP is just a foreshadowing of another part of the upcoming story. It's possible that the "alliance" will be a focal point of that story ??? Maybe? (just speculation at best). BUT ... I would be willing to go out on a limb and suggest that the Mandalorian life style or clan involvement with the alliance will be a point to consider in the overall scheme of things !
