Poll: How long should the gap between featured series be?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Most of us love the "weekly" episodes. However, as we know there is a gap between each series. Some prefer the gap be as short as possible, while others are willing to wait longer for higher quality missions. To give a more clear answer to how the forum community feels, please vote below:

How long should the gap between featured series be?

After you vote, feel free to share your thoughts :D

    Long enough that upon completion of the new series, the development of the next series is already completed (i.e lead-in time).

    I agree. So the question is, how long do you think that is/could be/should be in general?

    One to two weeks normally, longer if necessary for development of high quality new ones.

    Two weeks after the end of the previous series sounds reasonable, but I have no qualms waiting a month or more if it means quality missions.

    A month, so people can whine that they missed the extra prize, despite having a whole month to get it before the new series starts.:D:eek:

    The beauty of what I said was that rate of release depends entirely on the production rate of the following series.

    Ideally, we'd like them to push out missions every day. However long it takes then to ensure the follow-on series is in the can, is good enough for me. ;)

    3 weeks.

    That's (hopefully) enough time that people can get the reward, the devs can have lead in, and so they don't release patches before major out-of-office breaks (like Notch did with Miencraft recently).

    i say there should be no gap at all... the option is missing so i can't vote -.-

    it doesn't need to be a Series everytime though. Single Episodes can be good too.
    Hell i would be happy if they just throw in some Exploration missions ot dailys or something small to fill the gap.

    I voted 2 weeks. Long enough for me to do the new series with all of my characters but short enough to get the next one out before impatient heads explode.

    :cool:

    I'm down with 3-4 weeks as long as the new series is awesome. I'd rather them not push out content that looms like it was pushed out. I can wait for a good story.

    I like the general pace that Cryptic has been going with the first two featured episodes. I'm perfectly comfortable with a 2-3 week gap if that's what it takes to get higher quality episodes out. I'm even willing to extend that to a month for really, really awesome content that requires some new tweaks.
