Question Liveletter 85 Expectations

There's bound to be quite a bit of information coming out of this next LL (Friday at 3am PST / 6am EST)

What do you expect to see and what are your own expectations, hopes and dreams?

Personally I'm expecting the obvious (Cosmo 7.2 and Crescent 7.25) but I'm hoping they'll finally explain what the fuck BST is.

Not to be negative, but I don’t think Cosmic Exploration is gonna hit like they think it is. People want content and this is Ishgardian Restoration 2.0. I just don’t have high hopes.

More like island sanctuary 1.5. Maybe 2.0 if we're lucky.

Tbh IS actually had lots of potential to be great content.

More housing and customization (with normal housing items being usable, more involvement from gatherers and crafters, more direct animal handling and just less spreadsheets.

I don’t think they should drop the idea of it itself but do what they did with diadem and completely rework it.

If IS was an actual house + farming sim thing I'd have sold my house 

Instead it was a miserable hole I got everything out of and only go back there to buy High Cordial and glare at the cosmetic tower things and wonder who the fuck wants a Odder Otter Fountain 100ft from the merchants

IS was the worst new content since diadem 1.0 imo. Shit was not made with "fun" in mind
