Shadowbringers: Benchmark Late April

Just a reminder that we'll probably be getting the benchmark trailer in May.

Its been confirmed that the system changes overview will be released in May and the trailer won't be too far behind. We can expect a preview of some of the new abiltiies, areas and have access to making a Vierra with customisation options.

We haven't heard much of anything since fanfest, so the prospect of seeing some of the new battle content and speculating about some of the new abilties is quite exciting.

What are you guys looking forward to seeing the most?

I feel like we won't be seeing the benchmark for a couple more weeks than that. Both the pre-Shadowbringers Live Letter and the release date are about two weeks later than the Heavensward and Stormblood Live Letters and release dates. I imagine the benchmark will probably be the same.

Why? Its usually 2 months prior to the expansion release we receive this. Its also been confirmed that the system changes overview will be released in May, so you can expect a preview of some of the new abiltiies, areas and have the option to make a Vierra in the flesh.

It'll come out in May, at least from what they have said themselves from the last fanfest. I'd be okay with April though lol, but given that they said it'll come out near the live letter and the live letter is confirmed for May I dont think it'll come out in this month.

May looks empty, but there are other things coming out then like the benchmark (with character creation of the new races)

I was not rude and one of the key points of your post focused on the benchmark coming out in April (it also happens to be the title of the thread), so I addressed that and therefore did contribute... I'm a bit disappointed that you believe this :/.

If you had wanted discussion to continue down a certain way you could have responded politely and even perhaps thanked for the accurate information, instead of insulting not only Rollout and I but also the entire the forums while also ninja editing the OP to make Rollout and I look like our response was context-less. If you had done that you would be guaranteed I would have responded to the other key point in excitement. Thankfully for original context I have the unedited post so I could restore context to why Rollout and I both mentioned it wont be out in April. Which I'd like to again mention neither of us were rude to you but just let you know it most likely wont be Late April (I even searched for a source and mentioned how to find it so you could look into it :().

I think we'll get the Benchmark the second week of May, patch 4.58 the week after and the Live Letter another week after.

im so impatient with the benchmark i want to make a hrothgar now!

I mean..there's not much of a conversation to have, he's said it'll be in may so...it'll be in may.

The conversation isn't about the release date, but what people are looking forward to being revealed within the benchmark.

"I want it now!"
