Times between Expansion Caps

[DocDoBig]

Please (if you haven't read them yet) don't set up an opinion before reading these great threads with JustG's talk:

Please, keep the discussions rant-free and clean, thanks!

For all the curious and data fanatics among you,
I thought it would be a good idea to gather up all the release dates for each expansion cap and to calculate
the period between each of them to the next one,
so yeah, with this thread I wanted to show and share how much time between the expansions (caps) was used
or needed to develop them.
I will count in Months and Days:

Times between Expansion Caps

Cap #1 Cap #2 Time PL's Release (04.03.2010) > The Lost Expedition (04.16.2010) 13 Days The Lost Expedition (04.16.2010) > The Ancient Swamps (05.05.2010) 19 Days The Ancient Swamps (05.05.2010) > Alien Oasis: Part One (06.11.2010) 1 Month & 6 Days Alien Oasis: Part One (06.11.2010) > Alien Oasis: Part Two (06.29.2010) 18 Days Alien Oasis: Part Two (06.29.2010) > Alien Oasis: Part Three (10.04.2010) 3 Months & 5 Days Alien Oasis: Part Three (10.04.2010)> Balefort Sewers (02.07.2011) 4 Months & 3 Days Balefort Sewers (02.07.2011) > Nuri's Hallow (09.01.2011) 6 Months & 25 Days Nuri's Hallow (09.01.2011) > Mount Fang (11.14.2011) 2 Months & 13 Days Mount Fang (11.14.2011) > Humania (06.19.2012) 7 Months & 5 Days Humania (06.19.2012) > Blacksmoke Mountain (10.18.2012) 3 Months & 29 Days Blacksmoke Mountain (10.18.2012) > Today (01.26.2014) 1 Year, 3 Months & 8 Days

And here a little diagram:


-----------------
These are rewards for the lvl caps of 56-76 (all except the 76 Shield aren't achievable anymore.
1 = Crown of Persistence | 2 = Nuri's Shield of Hallows | 3 = Mount Fang Armor | 4 = Monarch Helm of Humania | 5 = Eye of Eternity


The Average Time an Expansion needs to be developed is 126.7 days (4 Months and 4 Days).

The Median is 97 Days (3 Months and 1 Week).

[Oldcoot]

That puts it in perspective . Good job.

[Mage till the end]

Very well done. Approaching the longest wait in pl soon lol

[Spyce]

Just need 1 month and 1 day until we tie the Expansion Cap of Mount Fang- Humania!

[Onagiabef]

maybe this is a good sign then...longer wait means better release. Lets face it bsm wasn't that great. great job on the info!!

IMO, Humania so far was the best Expansion.
Who agrees?

Not me haha I liked alien oasis campaigns. By far was my favorite loved quests and how much depth they put in the bosses in ao3. Just had this conversation with Brubeck the other day actually.

Docdobig went BIG on this one, very awesome, u ahould do this for the other games, first thread i enjoyed in a while so simple but some awesome, gj

[Jcyee]

Psh we still got a month ago. Lets just wait one more month and see what happens

Edit: Just realized I joined on 2/12/11, one day after Sewers was released!

[Wendellism]

I don't mind the wait if it means nerfing dodge. =)

[JaytB]

Nice comparison!

[Yich]

Very well done. Approaching the longest wait in pl soon lol

Will never understand why people seem to have the need to re word what I said a tinsy bit and then go and make a post out of it. What a joke. Make your own posts, stop stealing mine.

[lakersrockftw]

Good lord why do you behave this way? So if you post something and on the off chance someone shares your opinion all they can say is " yeah what yich said!" Your ego is out of control.

He added the word "the" and gave a differently worded compliment. If we're all just going to be little conformists who go around saying word for word what other people say, that's fine, but could someone at least make a guide on how to do so first? Sick of all these useless posts. I say useless, not non constructive. Those are two different terms, make sure you know the difference before you try picking apart this post.

EDIT: and I might understand had I not been the 1st reply, but I was. He obviously just took what I said and re worded it.

You need a break from forums. For an individual with your intellect to get your panties in a wad so easily is truly sad. You understand we have all had our "words" rearranged and reposted? It's like you just look for things to whine about. Good grief.

@Doc - First, my apologies for going off topic. I'm just getting tired of stupidity on forums. Second, excellent post. Nice to see how the PL timeline has continued. Hard to believe I have been around this long.

First reply 700th reply what's it matter? They had an opinion they shared it. Not every post will be on par with Darwin's origin of species. Most are going to quick responses. Like this:
Back on topic thank you for compiling this information! Feels just like yesterday the server booted me for the LE expansion.
