Preferred pace of PvE content release?

held down by you subhumans

Calling the none-poopsock people who actually have a life/job/etc sub humans? You have it backwards there my friend.

Rushing releases on this server is totally pointless and it will drive people away due to overwhelming imbalances.

Totally agree with Myrul. A slower pace is better for the long term growth of the server. Much of what makes Nost so attractive is that it is fresh, no one's running around with AQ gear yet, etc. Keeping that fresh server smell is a good thing, especially since the majority of the server is still leveling up.
Having the entire progression of the server hinge on the top 2 guilds (who are not a good representation of average guild progression) seems like a bad idea. Making it time-locked similar to retail (or somewhat accelerated) would make more sense.

I think some people aren't realizing that this has nothing to do with egos, no one is saying this because they're butthurt personally about not raiding MC or whatever, it's about making the most logical choice for the long term health of the server.

I dont get this, you have two months to level and clear MC before BWL is launched. You have plenty of time to level at your pace, hit 60, find a guild, and clear MC or atleast get close before BWL is launched. If you cant do that in the two months til release than the cutting edge progression shouldnt matter to you. There is nothing wrong with just starting BWL when AQ is about to launch. It is 10 year old content, to act like the majority who wants to raid cant do what we did in one month, before bwl releases is dumb.

[Zach]

You people act like people want to do MC and BWL for months at a time. This doesn't need to turn in to Feenix 2.0 where people are doing MC for 4 months and then BWL for 12. If in two months BWL does not come out it's going to cause a stink about the Developers lying and assumptions that BWL is not close to finishing and the server is going to take a big fucking hit. If Kronos actually has BWL when they said they would and Nostalrius doesn't it's going to die.

BWL NEEDS to come out in two months, the War Effort STARTING two months after BWL is clear isn't even an issue if they make the War Effort semi-challenging without it being ED levels of stupid. If 6 months from now the War Effort has not started people are just going to go play ED, this isn't complicated.

2 months from now is good for BWL release
i was just worried at first that it only depended on 1 guild on either faction to begin the countdown but its good to know for future releases that both factions have to down the content.

I'm not going to join the discussion, because I'm not bothered by the BWL release if it doesn't mean not fixing current bugs to work on it (as your guild mentioned in an earlier thread they promised they had already finished BWL, so this wasn't an issue).

But, I will mention that you chose to race for 60 and server firsts, you can't be complaining about doing the content for a long period of time unless it turns out to be 6 months or so before BWL release since it really was your choice to clear it as fast as possible.

Gear imbalances matter in pvp? ofc green vs nax is suicidal but t2 vs t3 is not gamebreaking...
The only thing that makes u get the vanilla feelins is yourself... im so casual i wont finish mc this year, but who cares? the server is up, the content is available, im gonna have a blast for the next 5 years.
If gear is the only reason u are doing pvp then fu and stay pve. Im doing pve for the progress feels in my own speed with some other casuals, doesnt matter if i kill rag this month or next year, first kill is first kill.
Stop whining its not like huge gear imbalance due to few raiders only is not blizzlike back in the day;-)
And there are plenty of trinkets pots and engineering stuff that can help u win a bg vs overgeared... sometimes i log on al akir with other friends in d1 bashing the shit out of the t2-2.5 scrubmades that have no idea...
Just my 2 cents
Until now u have not given a valid argument for me.
Blizzlike 10 year content?
the vanilla feels?
gear imbalance? in pve?
Having server longer time for bigger community? wtf clear at your pace!
The only thing that should delay it are bugfixes!

We just want the release timeline that they released before the server launched.

Understandable, but the timeline post contains this line:

As a reminder, this is not a final timeline. You should rather consider it as an indicative timeline.
