You’re forgetting one important step - the flood of Malaks in a shard and the saturation of it. Then forum posts about staleness in the meta.

Thats going to happen regardless, gotta remember cg is here to make money not friends. Theyre going to take the path of profitability.

For sure - and when a new marquee toon is released that might work a new meta peeps will spend.

And they set themselves up for the next epic confrontation perfectly. Who is going to want to miss out on a malak-esque toon again? Will probably be sub par as well. Ever since kotor they played this all magnificently.

Theve backed themselves into a corner with malak, people that are about to get dr will be mad if malak comes first. People who've been malak ready for two months will be mad if dr comes first.

Then every malak owner will be mad when their super toon gets smashed by a lowly marquee.

Soon means nothing

Not quite. Words have meanings and definitions. Look up the definition of soon... It does not mean a month and definitely doesn't mean 6 months.

The Devs always choose their words wisely.

Never mind

Theyve always played fast and loose with soon. Instead of looking up the deffinition look up how theyve used it in the past. 1-6 mos is very much inline with that

Edit: i dont mean to come across like an ass, just saying they dont follow websters when it comes to soon

@JayJayManners , “soon” is a relative term. In fact I did look up the definitions. None of which outright disqualify a month or six months. That’s just your perspective and expectation of how “soon” should be defined. So again, relative.

Dev notes have always included the disclaimer that scheduling is subject to change, anyways.

To be fair, this time in the Q&A they specifically claimed it would be the usual understanding of soon, rather than the past CG application of soon.

Q: When is Malak returning?
A: Tophat - Soon. I can't say when yet, but soon. (This isn't the snarky soon tm either, this is just plainly stating soon.)

Yes and because of that, he literally clarified that this wasn't 'the snarky soon tm".

We managed to survive so far, we don't even need Malak anymore
