After talking with the developers during the last google hangout session, here is what I know....
1) There will be new mythic items introduced during the current season, and their release will be part of some sort of event (something like the halloween or winter events in season 5, or the shuyal gladiator arena during season 4, or the mini-expansion we saw in season 3 where they added 2 new dungeons and the kraken mines).
True, new client update does offer an opertune time.
2) Whether or not they will be weapons, I have no idea. But considering we have seen mythic weapons 2 seasons in a row now, I would guess it is more likely we will see something other than weapons. I think most players will be upset if they paid 10-20m for a mythic weapon to have it only be good for one season. I think we are far more overdue for mythic amulets, and possibly helms and armor. As for rings, I'm not sure if they are going to devalue the arcane ring by releasing a mythic equivalent.
They didn't hesitate to "upset" players who had bought level 31 mythics. In fact, most liked the new mythics better (especially warriors). Amulets wise, I agree. Myths, in theory, stay competitive with legendaries for 2 seasons. However, the doom is still the #1 PvE amulet for overall stats after 3 seasons.
3) I think you should expect that from this point forward, it is going to be approximately 6 months between each expansion. The first 4 expansions were all very fast, and STS said that was by design to get the game going. But Shuyal came in September and Dragons Enclave in March, so that is 6 months. I think we will see a similar schedule going forward. However, I do think we will see some sort of mini-expansion or "event" every season if not more than one.
A bit off topic, but note worthy.
4) Many of us have been complaining since season 1 that we wanted a new game client to fix a number of issues/bugs. In a post a few months ago, we all made it very clear that this should be priority number 1, and should come ahead of adding new content. So don't be angry when they listen to us. I think they are currently working on the new game client, so we may have to wait some time for new content now. But all the bugs with the stat page now showing stats properly and not indicating passives and pet bonus should be fixed with this new client. So you may have to "twiddle your thumbs" and bite your nails a little bit longer....
They still have enough peoplewho arent working on theclient update to have "events" every weekend. I find your reasoning here a bit absurd. They may have a lot of people woking on the client update but it issomething that is done in steps. Therefore, there are still many people working on other projects (hopefully level 41 myths is one of those projects.
PS: I will bite the bullet on that last joke. Props to you, that was well placed
Use the extra time to earn some cash and save up for the new mythics. With all the inflation we have been seeing lately, they are going to be expensive when they come out.
I'd be farming even if the level 41 myths wer already out.
