120645-date-for-drop-4

== Content ==
			
I've been looking around but can't seem to find specific date. Has any been giving? Cheers.
 
EDIT: NM, found sometimes January/February.

			they'll probably give about 2 weeks or so notice.Datascape needed a lot of tuning that hasn't been pushed to PTR yet afaikThey will probably want to give guilds a "you better kill avatus quick if you want the 40 man achievement" warningand I am imagining there is some internal discussion going on because it seems a lot of people are pretty pissed about the way itemization changes are being implementedAlso itemization itself seems not done if you look at the DS sets that were put up a couple weeks back some of them look great and some of them just plain look unfinished. Like the esper dps set for exampleAlso, the most logical time to release a drop would be the last possible moment before resubscribe time which would be Jan 29thjust from a business perspective if they are confident their work is awesome(and why wouldn't they be?) that's the best way to give people a taste of what they'll be missing if they don't resub

			There's so much awesome stuff coming in drop 4, I just want it here! D:	
----
			Looking forward to it. My house NEEDS the new tools and items.	
----
			I wouldn't hold your breath for January. I think that realistically, February is the closest we can expect this drop; I'd love to be proven wrong though.	
----
			Feburary for my birthday would be pretty cool.	
----
			I am in for March.

Soon 
 
(In all seriousness, it's not far off, Don't want to give any more specific time frames because things can move around for various reasons and Marketing/PR teams might yell at me BUT I'm personally hopeful for around the middle of Q1).	
----
			...some time around mid-February? ^^ I see. :D	
----
			I really hope they can push this drop to go live soon. Looking at how empty Thayd has been the last weeks, the very long queue times for dungeons/adventures and the high amount of raid loggers in my guild, this game needs new fresh content desperately.

I do not think so, Drop 4 should be released mid february as some of us heard "two weeks after the superbowl".
 
As carbine's US studios had a two weeks "holidays break" (except TimeTravel and Merkaat, these guys never rest), they will probably have tons of stuff to dev/test/plan in the weeks to come.
 
It should be more accurate to say that they will update the PTR once more soon (DS20 being completly overtuned atm, even for DS geared players), then update the live with most of our concerns solved (please?).

Drop 4, countless improvements to PvE and quality of life....
 
but totally demolishes PvP
 
be careful what you wish for as drop 4 released from PTR will see the end of PvP, the end of warriors, and the end of subs for people yet again let down by CRB
 
they've a lot of work to do before drop 4 can be released

Will there be a minor drop, aka "bi-weekly patch" - before drop 4? Please, no trolling about bi-weekly, just looking for an answer. Supposedly addon comm was suposed to be fixed in this minor drop.

HA!
 
you mean you will actually haveto play in pvp like everyoneelse and not spam two buttons?
Warriors needed a HUGE nerf in pvp.
 
Id blame warriors OP imbalance in the first place for so many people leaving pvp in this game..

I main a warrior and I agree with this somewhat...
 
Also Eclips, I don't see Drop 4 as a total break to PvP at all, not much id being done to help it, but they aren't really breaking it anymore either. If anything I think the dailies will offer a bit more incentive to pvp, and also, if more Pve Players get in the game, Just for fun, lets say, 50,000 for Drop 4, those people will still casually que for bgs, which will mean BGS will pop
I dont think this game will ever have a hardcore pvp crowd again, but having a bunch of players who do PBGS now and then would be just as fine to me.

Entry level raid gear will be better than the 1800 pvp gear. That's gamebreaking to me

Oh that goes so far as being entry level ? I thought it would have been the last tiers :o ! Would still be a problem though, even if only the last tiers anyway, but entry level really ?
----
			Well everything is still not on the ptr for drop 4 right ? So perhaps there is pvp re-itemization too that's incoming ?
