Q: When will we have an actual release date?
A: We will announce the exact date in November.

Q: Is anything different from PC version?
A: With Winds of Magic’s release we received a lot of feedback from players, and we want to address it as much as we can. On consoles we decided to have content we are confident players will enjoy. The precise list of content will be detailed in the November post.

Q: How will it be then?
A: We heard all the feedback from the Winds of Magic release on PC, and we have addressed many of the raised issues. The console release will be based on the current PC patch.

Q: When is the next update?
A: We want all platforms to have the same content in 2020.

Just a heads up that Versus isn’t included in WoM but is a future release

I would think both consoles. Especially since they said they want all 3 versions of the game to be on the same patch in 2020.

Not really too terribly difficult? Game’s balanced for it, feels fine.

I am curious how WoM will be balanced on consoles… Console mobs already have more HP to deal with the fact they can’t have as many enemies on screen like PC. If I’m not mistaken, some of the patches this year even decreased the number of mobs further. How will that work with WoM which seems to have a massive increase in hordes and elites. And will they just throw even more HP on them?

My guess is more waves, increased health. We have a 25% power increase on weapons to make using a controller easier, which keeps things from feeling too beefy. It’s more stagger I worry about, since dodging can be a little persnickety on console with jump and dodge bound together.

Only trash mobs have more health, everything else has the same health as PC (or used to pre-2.0).

Xbox and PS4 balance are the same last I checked for 1.6.

We’ll have an announcement out very early next week

News have been out for a while, mate.
