Players are hyped for the expansion's scope and cinematic presentation, but the 22-day wait between reveal and release tests patience.

What owners complain about

  • Long reveal-to-release gap SOME

    Multiple users frustrated by the 22-day gap between the reveal and May 29 release date, with one calling it 'unfortunate'

  • Impatience for content SOME

    Users expressing strong desire for time to pass faster, eager for the drop

  • Uncertainty about endgame quality FEW

    One user noted this update 'will cement the endgame for near future' and questioned how it will fare against Atlas of Worlds, suggesting some anxiety about whether it'll live up

What owners love

  • Massive scope

    Widely praised as 'one of the biggest expansions ever' with high upvote agreement

  • Cinematic presentation

    Users excited that the expansion received its own cinematic, seen as a sign of quality

  • Community theorycrafting rewarded

    Players who analysed developer hints (the spider post from GGG_Kelly) were proven right, generating positive community buzz

Surprising patterns

  • The community engages in deep lore analysis — users were dissecting a simple spider emoji/post from a developer and correctly predicted the expansion's theme (Arakaali/pantheon monsters)
  • Comparisons to Atlas of Worlds suggest this expansion is viewed as a defining moment for the game's endgame trajectory, not just another content drop

WHO SHOULD SKIP IT

No meaningful complaints about gameplay, monetization, or performance surfaced — the only friction is the wait, so this is irrelevant to a purchase decision.
