Good!
I think a lot of console players will appreciate it that they do not have to wait until next year.

Just a heads up that Versus isn’t included in WoM but is a future release :slight_smile:

Is console going to get the Halloween Geheimnisnacht event again this year? I haven’t logged in yet this week to see if we have it yet or not.

Winds of Magic (short WOM) is an expansion to the base game, introducing Cataclysm difficulty, Beastmen, and the Weaves (with acompanying Athanor).
Versus is, how i understand it, a bit more seperate to the base game, not neccessarily tied to the seasons.
All balancing is different compared to adventure mode and is handled seperate too.
I don’t know how seperate it will be on consoles compared to PC, but my guess is that it could be a seperate gamemode, like the beta branches, but i might be wrong.

Is there any clarification as of now on how exactly it’s seperated to the base game for console and PC, @Fatshark_Hedge?

Both consoles or just xbox? @FatsharkJulia @Fatshark_Hedge

I would think both consoles. Especially since they said they want all 3 versions of the game to be on the same patch in 2020.

Something i forgot to ask:
As you said you want to have all platforms having the same content in 2020, and season 2 is coming to PC in 2019, does this mean you decided against going directly to season 2 on console?

still amazes me that people can play fps with controllers XD!

O_o…

Not really too terribly difficult? Game’s balanced for it, feels fine.

I have a friend who plays on PC with his Xbox controller using an adapter. He does pretty well. Tells me about his Legend runs. He prefers the controller, but wants the 60 FPS.

Elite controller with custom thumb sticks. Favorite way to play.

Q: When is the next update?
A: We want all platforms to have the same content in 2020.

Future crossplay announcement?

Probably more like console Weaves season 1 mirrors the content of PC Weaves season 2.

Given that the game has had the lowest average player numbers in the last month ever over its entire existence it makes sense to spread that same level of meh to other platforms.

That’s exactly what my friend uses. Fully customised with additional paddles.
