Why would you want The Congressman and The Guru? That would just be splitting one of the ETs that have been repeated over and over (The Deceivers) in half. The only differences iirc is that in The Congressman you can use the car exit near the default start and The Guru has a few extra fail conditions on not harming two (I think) NPCs.
Of all the H1 ETs we’ve not seen since at least 2021, they would be right at the bottom of my wishlist.
It’s my obsession, if I may say so.
By that logic, “The Undying” would be just one, right?
However, if there are two different types, even if the differences are subtle, I am inclined to enjoy them both.
So I want to enjoy “The Congressman,” “The Guru,” and “The Deceivers” all as different things.
Of course, if implementing these three types of ETs will prevent other ETs from being implemented, I am also willing to give them a lower priority.
That’s what I’m expecting, alongside the next patch and the patch notes - which is something that is absolutely coming before The Heartbreaker Y4 goes live. Because otherwise no one will be able to play it.
Unlike the Undying, who had two gimmicks - never dying, being played by an actor that always dies - the Wild Card has only one gimmick, and that is being played by the actor he’s modeled after. You can remake the Undying and the Undying Returns and keep the one gimmick and it still works. The Wild Card without securing the rights to use Gary Busey takes away the whole point, and makes its inclusion meaningless. I’d prefer it be gone forever than get the generic brand version.
Ditto.
I wonder if it’s going to be a seasonal roadmap (spring roadmap), or if we will be back to monthly ones.
Even though by the look of it, I don’t expect nothing but ETs for February, I hope it’s not precursor to what we will have this year.
But who knows, technically next week is an open content slot as far as what we know.
First ET the 15th (I just realized, a day after Valentine’s Day, of course it’s the Heartbreaker), so maybe something the 8th?
All depends on when, which week the roadmap will start back.
And again : please be permanent releases. (It would explain why they could be added without new data, and not under a Y4 monitor. I want to believe.)
This must be a joke, I’m now convinced that IO is doing this on purpose. The same 4 ETs in the same order for the third year in a row. Why is it so hard to let this mode rest in peace? I’m so tempted to just ignore them but I know the completitionist bitch in me won’t let me. The little hope I had for Y4 is just dead and buried now.
Maybe I will be proven wrong when a roadmap is released (I hope), but this is definately not a good start. Let’s pray we at least get the fabled escalation and permanent The Drop.
They might be doing brand new ETs, so the standard batch at the start of the year is to give a buffer for players to have something to play even if it’s old
Keep in mind, there’s barely anyone working on the game at this point. On top of everything else they have to take care of that we fans collectively whine about, shuffling the order of ETs is not likely among the priorities.
