before this interview I am pretty sure someone official said the content update would be slower

It’s kinda a design philosophy thing and what I believe their’s is.
So the timing for the legion gates from what I can tell seem to be very planned. The gap between the legion raids was enough time that if you were on ilvl on the last release you had enough time to hit the next legion raid by then just by playing every few days. It feels to me like this was intentional and planned around the average income of a player who doesn’t play every day but plays every other day.
So for Akkan, if you release Akkan normal and hard at the same time there is going to be some expectation that a part of the player base can do Akkan hard on release. Now as to how reasonable this expectation is or not is up to you to decide but alot of people will think that if they drop hard then that means they should be able to do hard.
The problem is honing plummets like a fucking rock at 1580. Hitting 1600 from 1580 costs almost twice as much as the cost of hitting 1580 from 1560. So if they release Akkan with the expectation that people can hit hard it would be close to 8 months if you want to give people a chance to actually hit akkan hard in time. Akkan Normal tho comes with a soft reset so you can drop Akkan normal by itself alot earlier if you were to split it up to let people take advantage of the reset to have an easier path to akkan hard. It’s the same idea as splitting up brel hard and normal.
it’s a similar thing for Kayangel. Kayangel is split into 4 difficulties.
Normal 1475
Hard 1 1520
Hard 2 1560
Hard 3 1580
If they were to wait to release all of kayangel at once then they would have to wait 4 months again after Brel to release kayangel for similar reasons. But breaking it up means they can release it extremely close or even with Elgacia and just save the HArd 3 unlock for a bit later to give people a chance to hone there.
ok you two need to stop; I was not asking about your opinion on how they would release it. I was fact checking on something. pretty simple post
moved due to wrong category
None of this will happen, they won’t split akkan they won’t split elgacia, pleccia won’t come before akkan because of lore reasons.

If there is anyone more upset that we couldn’t push Yoz to NA/EU, it’s Soomin.
Bridge the gap quicker… yet brel normal and hard have a longer gap than anywhere else did. Apparently it was 2 months in KR and 3 months in RU, while it’s 4 months here.
Hard for sure should’ve came out this month. It didn’t even take 10 weeks to get full brel gear from doing only 1-4 runs. Let alone 1-6s or if got boxes.
While normal just gives relic gear still, so there was nothing else to farm beyond that.
roxx talk about slowing content releases down end of last year in the forums.
only thing i can think of are unique skins we have compare to korean
If your goal is fact checking the forums then you should learn how to do your own research instead of asking others.

oh okay so it was roxx. Can you maybe link me one of them?
I didn’t know it was roxx that was why I said an official. I didnt remember where I saw it, which could be live stream QnA, News section, forums, twitter, whatever. but I do remember seeing something along the lines of ’ the content update for this year will be a lot slower’. That’s why I posted this. Thank you for assuming that I have not done any search and thank you for useful advice
All but the live stream Q&A are easily searched, but even those shouldn’t be hard to peruse with how infrequent they are.
Stoopz had an interview with Roxx a few months ago?
LOAON doesn’t talk about West.
I’ve given you more than enough in my previous post to find what you’re looking for, but I’ll give you one more clue.
was here in the forum but i could not find it on a quick search
Akkan needs at least 1 year and a half after brel hard so people can be 1600 day1.
What for? Akkan normal is 1580 and im already whit my main at that ilvl as f2p 6 characters roster, so why would we need 1 and a half year???
they’re wildly inconsistent with everything that they’re saying
They said that the slower CANDACE is about the classes, not other content
So what do you win whit 1620? from what i understand you can get full akkan transition by just doing normal mode, yeah sure it takes longer but so what? we aint geeting the Voldike patch in like a year.
Answer is
He won year of life while losing year of life prolly
