Will the model of content change in 4.0?

[Claymore65]

While I understand the frustration, I don't entirely understand what you're suggesting.

Right now, we have a very consistent update schedule with certain "standard" pieces of content (Raids/Dungeons), paired with a big piece of more "experimental" content. Some of these have been extremely successful (Palace of the Dead, Aquapolis, the Feast), while others have proven to be lackluster (Squadrons, Diadem V1.0).

When you want to switch the content schedule, are you suggesting we cut the "standard" content (8 man raids ,24 man raids, dungeons) in exchange for more experimental content? I'll admit, I'm skeptical of that. If the experimental content is excellent, then it won't be an issue. However, if it ends up being rather poor, then we have nothing to fall back on. Right now, we have a pretty good balance between experimental and "standard" content, and I'd be hesitant to change that without thinking through the consequences.

I think rather than looking at the content schedule, we should instead take a look at a the Progression system. If we make some tweaks there, it might help prevent some burnout. Perhaps we could make alternative methods of gaining Tomestones (PVP, raids, PotD, etc) a little more effective. That way players can focus on the content they enjoy most, and still be rewarded for it. Tomestones, in my opinion, are actually a decent method for progression. It allows literally any activity you do in game to be relevant to end-game progression, as long as it gives an adequate amount of tomes.

I also think "Expert Roulette" should include more than the most recent dungeons, but that's just me.

That said, I'm leery of changing the schedule too much. Right now, we have a consistent schedule that the Devs can manage, and we still get a variety of more "standard" and "experimental" content.
