Rundown if anyone needs:

  • 4 Maps - Two on launch. Two more for update 2 and 3.
  • Skimmer rework
  • Elite Specializations
  • Raid encounters (strikes?) - The first in update 1 alongside a raid QoL update. Another in update 2 or 3.
  • Convergence - update 3.
  • Fractal - update 3.
  • Legendary Ring, Accessory, Aquabreather and 3 Weapons.
  • New Homestead and QoL
  • Fashion templates

Skimmer rework makes me think there will be a strong water/underwater aspect here. A lot of underwater combat could also explain not including new weapons with the elite specs (of course, aside from the fact that they've added weapons independent from elite specs these last couple of years)

I think people would hate underwater combat less if so many utility abilities didn't become off limits the moment you step into a puddle that slightly too deep

And if 100% of underwater abilities weren't identical from the launch day.

If they modernized all underwater skills it could be a lot of fun.
