“Next year, one of our major goals is to create horizontal progression. We want to create more choices and more avenues of success,” explains Lead Systems Designer Michael “Avair” Mann. “We want you to increase the breadth of your character, not just your Combat Rating.”
As to those time-limited events, Daybreak says that “events make logging in every day that much more special” but to expect much more than normal seasonal events. “These events will be more substantive – as in real, engaging content to play – accessible to virtually the entire player population, dripping with cool new rewards, and provide even more to do between each large content release.”
Don’t believe ’em? The first such event will take the form of the anniversary event coming up as the game turns six years old in January; it’ll include new open world missions in the Metropols Antimatter invasion zone, a new eight-man raid called Centennial Collapse, and the expected assortment of gear and achievements.
Daybreak aims to stream more about the anniversary event on its weekly show, which just so happens to kick off at 2 p.m. EST today, which is right when this post goes live. You can watch below if you’re not averse to spoilers!
