I am surprised because there is nothing on the blog yet. 2-3 weeks full of previews, articles about new game mechanics (we already know that some special effects, like accelerate time, will be available to players for the first time) and gradual revealing new cards would greatly increase "hype" and probably attract both new and returning players.
With an expansion name like 'Enigmatic Time-Travelling Space Cats', it doesn't even need any hype! But, ah, on the really low off-chance it's named something different, yeah, your suggestion sounds highly favorable, and I've certainly seen it work well for other games.
If we don't keep obsessively checking the forum for news, you know we'll miss something important! So, like, we need an announcement about when we'll get an announcement about when the expansion may possibly drop. :X
ANNOUNCEMENT: Tomorrow 9am AEST I will ask Jon if he thinks we should pre-announce the date that we plan to announce things. Unless I forget.
A pre-announcement for the time of the announcement? Sounds like a plan! In all seriousness though, we're all super excited and pumped!
So you're saying, if we give you disgusting-looking (but all natural!) dog treats, you'll remind Farbs to ask Jon if he should preannounce the date they plan to announce when the expansion may drop? Edit: Also, what the heck is with that dog's ears? Are crumps like Red Bull, do they give you wings, or is that dog part hare? Edit2: Seriously, are those even ears? They look more like a really strange hat, or a terrible parasitic growth. Edit3: And the body looks strangely flappy... I got it. It's actually Scarponi in a dog suit, right?
Scarponi forgot to remind him, I guess. Flaxative, you need to remind Scarponi to remind Farbes to ask Jon to.. Oh, where's Jon, I'll just ask him myself.
I'm pretty sure, that already did pass. When Farbes said, that announcement. It was 22:48 AEST Yesterday. Now its 20:32 AEST. He did probably forgot... http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aest
I remembered! Jon (sensibly) wanted to run it past our PR people, and I don't think he's heard back from them about it yet.
Damn you Aussies living in the future!!! In all seriousness though, at least give us an announcement about when you'll give us the next announcement.
So, while we're all waiting on Farbs waiting on Jon waiting on PR to approve an announcement announcing an announcement, I found this (among a few other interesting cards) while sifting through the console: Could this finally mean the addition of the long-anticipated rogue class!? Probably not, but we're here to wildly speculate, after all.
