Title: can we get any info on new feats before Expedition release?
Post by: YM2612 on July 07, 2019, 06:12:47 pm: Please?

I can't just start playing on release day without properly planned build.

I can't just start playing on release day without properly planned build.

Fwiw, the new feats are very intuitive and seamlessly fit into the old builds. If you're familiar with the game it shouldn't take your more than 5-10 minutes to come up with a version that's an extension of the build you're already familiar with.

Latest word from Styg is I can release the updated character builder on the final weekend before the DLC release. Phew, finally! You wouldn't believe how long I've been looking forward to this.
So what exactly "on the final weekend before the DLC release" means?
19th of July? (i.e. Friday)
18th? (I.e. Thursday, when "weekend releases" happen for movies etc)
17th? Right now? ;D

I was thinking of Friday evening, EET. I'll post in its thread (https://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2753.0) when it's time. You'll have to beg Styg if you want it earlier.
Well, ok then.
Dear Styg,
I guess content creators for Youtube/Steam/Twitch/Etc are more likely to release such content (pertaining post-expansion game meta) by 22 of July if the updated tool is released earlier this week. There is usually production delay for content, plus creators might have plans for weekend. More such content will be creating some extra publicity/advertising/hype for expansion on release day.

Post by: Tamior on July 15, 2019, 03:12:15 pm: Just to clarify: are we actually allowed to stream (or otherwise publish) what we find in the building tool before updated tool is released to public (this Friday)?
I. e. if I stream UnderRail (current experimental version) tonight or tomorrow, can I discuss the build I would be going for (once expansion hits)?

Sure, I guess I can see no harm in that. The closed alpha testers (or rather BETA testers now) should avoid discussing anything spoilery and, of course, shouldn't stream the DLC before the official release.
