Is there a big update coming before mod 11?

Or the expansion to Mod 10 (if that is what it is) could be unlocking a new skirmish and mini dungeon. Surely couldn't be more grind, ???

Grind. Grind never changes.

more grind to unlock less grind of the already more grind

I hope Mod 11 doesn't come out any time soon. At this rate it's going to take me at least another month before I'm able to get into the new dungeon. How I love grinding vs running dungeons. Oh wait...

On a less bitter note, if you have one toon able to get into the new dungeon do your other toons that meet the requirements automatically have the ability like edemo?

No. Frankly, if you've got the EF resistance on multiple characters, I'd expect the campaign task to unlock the dungeon is the least of your concerns.

Oh yeah, I guess you can basically buy your way into the EF resist with Frostborn gear.

I think someone has a lightbulb moment about to happen, and the sudden moment you realize what all this grind and hate is really about. Maybe the cash shop shortcuts? hmmm

Grinding sucks guys, reasonable hard work is ok, just try and tell devs grinding sucks...

Time Sinks (grinding) is how they motivate people to spend money.. to save time... it's the Foundation of F2P business model... it won't change.

Announcement about this Soon™

Just an FYI - whatever it is it better be good. Mod 10 has killed any enthusiasm I had left for this game. If Mod 11 is just Mod 10.2, with even MORE pointless grinding in pursuit of lame for sake of lame I'm going to commit toonicide.

Sincw the Drops from "last" dungeon are mod 10 currency (at leas was in Preview didnt reached in normal server) you probably will be disapointed.

almost certain will be a new map for more grind (like tiamat expansion mod) and maybe a new epic skirmish...

I could not help but notice that Panderus trademarked Soon™ and... whoa! What the heck?! Soon™ is a trademark of Cryptic? I can no longer say, I will be back soon™ without the ... this is so annoying... I wonder if I should copyright Shortly © 2016 all rights reserved. Hmmm... ok anyone using my shortly © 2016 all rights reserved, without MY permission is in BIG trouble.

Yes, there is going to be a major update (WATER!), stated as being the "meatiest" update so far. Keep in mind, updates are not modules or expansions, they are what happens in between modules/expansions. You can read about it in the transcript of the QA livestream with Lead Designer Tomas Foss, or watch it on Twitch.

LOL, been watching Romancing the Stones? Danny Devito was asking his crime buddy near the end of movie, he want to know when he get pick up as other guy was leaving him, saying "Soon", and danny ask again, "How Soon is Soon?"

I honestly think it should be obvious for people that have actually finished FBI.... the ring isn;t there... they talk about another boss we can't fight. there is a spot left undefined at teh top of SKT campaign...

As Zebular stated the water and more is coming from what I understood from the interview. The quote above with the campaign, I just realized the line going up indicating they had more. When I first seen this I thought it was just an oversight or we got something not completely finished but workable so here you go. After watching the interview and looking at that line again I think we may see a connection here. IDK
