I really don't see it happening. What will happen is little fixes hear and there and then they will release the SE and be done with this game.

well, TH said that he was pushing to get the Combat pass moved forward in the schedule... so i think they do have something major planned, however it looks like its going to be "more work than we expected" just need to stay on there arses to get that work done, and fix combat for us.

If the vaunted Combat Pass is anything thing like the Droid Invasion, it will have much hype, little change and nearly no affect.


So either way, I dont think we'll notice

Its never going to happen.


I'm not saying that fixes and whatnot will never happen, but a major 'combat pass', will just never happen.


Too much of this game is spent by the devs putting something into the mix and seeing how people react to it. They change this a little and see what happens. When people get upset with the change made, the devs then get to work on a change to counteract the previous change.


For example; BH carbine was all powerful, so it got the nerf. People then flocked to CH. The devs saw that master CHs owned everything so they nerfed that. Then came the commandos. Once again people complained about being lit on fire, so the devs nerfed the DOT. Then it was the defense stack. Again changed for the sake of 'balance'.


Now imagine if all of these changes happened in one fell swoop. It would be utter chaos. Bugs aplenty, combined with new exploits. People all flocking to one profession or another. It would take the devs months upon months to clean this mess up.


I think the devs like it just fine with the 'fix-a-prof-a-month' method.


Problem is that there is 33 professions and pikeman are at the bottom of the list.


How many months is that?
