actually, having the elites postponed even can help the economy, depending on what drops on the normal maps. with loot comparable to the crate gear, at least normal gear is worth farming for a while.
i don t mind leveling my pets and alt first before hitting elites too.
and i just like stg to take their time to fix glitches, in the long run they hurt the fun and fairness of the game badly.

Keep us updated on Dragons enclave Samhayne and Other devs ^_^
What time on Wednesday will the release take place in Eastern Standard Time (US)?
You should release the elites at the same time. Holding back items is enough to hold players interests. Restricting the elites is only going to create a lull for experienced and advanced players.

why should we be thinking about elites at the time? it will take us a while to reach level 40 anyway might as well wait till they unlock it again be patient.

I was gearing to run with elixirs in order to get first dibs at elite cotent. I do know that many regular players reached 35 in less than 24 hours. Even capping is possible in that span of time esp if you run with the most amount of xp boost possible. So while delaying the release of elites will be good for levelling the playing field, hardcore players and most especially, elite runners will no longer have that motivation to cap quickly (or use xp elixirs). I think someone mentioned gaining 5 maps but losing 25 maps. So I guess it'll be back to km3

Play nice, stranger.
Good point: Will crates change when the new expansion goes live or will that also wait for the elite portion to come live?
I think it might be good to wait for elite Dragon at least just because it gives the normal Dragons a chance to get farmed and hunted. I am not sure it's that great for ALL of elite to be offline, since most of it has nothing to do with the new expansion.
But then again, I am one of those people who thinks that Elites should be parceled, not just for endgame.
I like the idea of a rolling release though. Looking forward to whatever you guys can do!
Star light, star bright...
And I can finally catch up with the super fast people who level and dash right into elite and get the best stuff first.

Oh geez on an week day? lol i wonder how many ppl will level up
There will be glitches its inevitable. However i do see sts point of view....if the elites are locked up noone can exploit those glitches in order to attain the best and most expensive gear. If another "quills glitch" hit the masses it would probably collapse the already suffering in game economy. I think sts is making a very wise choice locking up elites for a few weeks given the history of glitches that surface with new content. ( quills fiasco, essence and locked crate fiasco, winter portal fiasco, and so forth)
Postponing elites sounds like the most logical way to avoid another huge oops and also should make the economy better. How so? Now more people will have the ability to be the first ones running the new elites and getting all the best and most expensive lvl 41 gear which translates to more of the average players being able to make a good and hefty profit.
If elites were released at the same time as the expansion it would give the plat spenders who bought xp elixirs and were first to cap a huge advantage at farming the best gear first and reaping the largest profits. Chances are these first people to cap are also already some of the wealthiest people in game.
Now you might say YES thats what we wanted!!!!!!
This is what i have to say to that, Dont be GREEDY
STS Thank you for trying to put the in game economy first instead of putting plat sales first..........(FOR ONCE)

No elites? What do you guys expect us to be doing after we cap? I think I'm gonna get bored running normal Brakenridge over and over
The arlorians are very impatient ..
Make elites available to individual players 2 weeks after they reached level 40. Thats the fair thing to do and the first who level still get an advantage. I dont want to find myself competing with thousands of other players for a drop after 2 weeks.
Thank you for clarifying!
I hope expansion comes in wednesday or Thursday , wish tomorrow u ll dont find any glitch hehe
