Yo guys, Do you think that DTG will announce a January 2026 roadmap? What for routes and Loco's will be announced? What are you toughts Now i hope one or two netherlands routes Some france and some belguim for a good variantion Do preffer some countries and routes Loco's or Whatever let me know in the comment Well I also think that there will be a lot of UK and German as well as American and announced when the time comes because DTG is putting a lot of focus on that This is the place to discuss about it.
And boy are they talking it up. Over on Facebook they just posted an item about the (part) Cumbrian Coast and the way they are going on you would think it was releasing next week. We haven’t even got a release date for Preston to Carlisle yet.
They need to be careful, they have form for hyping things up and then they fall well below par/release dates put back and back again.
I doubt there will be one in January. There won’t be much to report on. DTG will also be getting ready to go on break for Christmas and new year.
I get wanting to generate hype and it's fun for the community but now all the focus is on the Cumbrian route and not the ones thats due to be released? Preston to Crewe must surely be just around the corner in this case? But then we haven't had any route/station blog updates and have heard nothing about the 20. It just seems like a really weird way of doing things? Especially with how we historically get 1 JT route per game iteration. So why announce this route if it's not going to come until TSW7?
Normally true, but there was one in January 2025. Depends on how much they have to say that's new, or whether they want to do a longer Q&A or something.
This thread proves once again how TSW players are never happy. They just announced like 10 DLC and people are asking for more annoucements.
Not really. Over on FB they are now also hyping up Trent Valley as if it's coming out next week, not more like this time next year. The list of announced content is great but none of it, not even Medway or as noted Preston to Crewe has any firm release date. We know only too well the hole DTG can dig themselves into capering and gibbering about 3P content only to have it slip back or just fail to appear.
People complain, but then don't seem to realize they fall into the same trap of generalizing, it's just that they glaze their side instead. Funny that I got reminded of this post today because someone randomly liked it, because it's fitting for here. To add, yes, some people will never be happy, but that's why anyone sane person will tell you not to get "one guyed". And it has to be said, the forum falls for this a lot. If people focused more on people acting in good faith as opposed to harping on one or two bad actors constantly discussion would likely be better. The fact such over the top reactions get engagement are part of the reason people do them. I mean, DTG themselves are guilty of this, some of the only routes we got quick fixes for were ones that launched in outrageously bad states that got way more outrage than usual.
Next week? How did the manage to build two long routes like that in such short time? I thought that is not doable in TSW. At least that´s what we´ve been fed for years as an excuse for cutting routes short at illogical ending points.
You miss the point. I know quite nicely this route won't be out for months, but whoever is managing their Facebook posts is talking it up like it's imminent - along with the JT Cumbrian Coast route, when they haven't even set a date for the WCML section from Preston to Crewe. It's disingenuous at best.
