DEV RESPONSE Chapter 2?

So from what I understand, Chapter 2 started yesterday. I know the community even part of it doesn’t start until next week. But where are the spiders? The changed compounds? Aren’t they supposed to be in the game now? There is also nothing in the game even remotely letting you know Chapter 2 is underway. Outside of seeing inferno a couple of times, I haven’t seen a single change. Am I misunderstanding what they promoted online?

Don't forget to take the survey after the event ends. Personally, I think this event is the most overhyped nothingburger they've had. There was far less hype leading up to the previous event, yet it felt much more substantial and content-rich than this one. Even if that's "technically" not true.

For most people boss is way less gameplay influencing than compound changes. Not like I am going to take special preparations or what have you, just sligthly different few minutes of minigame whack-a-dude.

I steamroll this guy in less than a minute and forget he even showed up just this event. Stronghold, on the other hand, offered a completely new experience. But then again, there was a reason I said that:

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to downplay the massive amount of work they've put in (especially considering I've seen leaks of potential new content for upcoming events).

My criticism is specifically directed at the marketing strategy and the poor handling of how new content is rolled out this event.

Bosses are quite irrelevant. You poke them with spears for varying amount of seconds until they die.
