I just hope and pray that it doesn't become like the " BML passengers " and never gets implemented because of " performance issues ".
Unless there is something new coming or some huge fixes / changes are happening then no I won’t bother… I’ll just quickly skim through the monthly thread that gets posted here. The past few months have been very bland indeedy….
The question is are we getting an august roadmap on time. I remember last year we didn’t get it until august 10
Just to let yours know. They might actually not be a roadmap next month because in the epic games TSW files there's something called *Smithfield* what is a other word for the Thameslink core. So it looks like the ECML is finally coming to TSW after 5 years!!!
Personally, once again I'll read the roadmap when it gets posted due to time zones ruining the livestreams. Also I'm not overly optimistic that a new route will be announced this month's roadmap unless it's the JT one due to the lack of routes we've properly got this year. If they chose to keep doing two roadmaps per month, I would be optimistic as they were either very detailed or worth reading when knowing the future of TSW3.
I have a feeling that we won’t get an August roadmap. If my memory is correct we don’t get one last year until TSW3 was officially announced August 10th
Agreed the roadmap has lost its 'flair' and become too much like a PR thing, I enjoy the streams as sometimes we get more in-depth discussions. However, I feel without Sam often the difficult questions don't get answered and are often glossed over or ignored entirely. We may find out this Friday what the stream schedule is next week if the roadmap is going to be next week as it should. Current pre-purchase info seems to be around the 22 Aug so we shall see if we get a repeat of last year.
My guesses are for the August Roadmap are: London commuter remake including City Thameslink, Tonbridge, 700/1 and class 455/171 ECML London to Peterborough and Cambridge with Thameslink and Great Northern Creators club - creator profiles, livery manager/ templates and livery designer 2.0 ECML London to Leeds and Hull including LNER and Hull Train Would be fun to see these ideas in TSW!!!
1. Likely will never happen. Certainly with the extras you have mentioned (except perhaps the 700/1). 2. Too long a route if the recent releases are anything to go by. 3. Would be nice to see. But probably not happening any time soon. 4. Too long. Most likely either Doncaster to Leeds or Hull.
You do have a point. I don't like negativity It makes people feel sad inside but longer/ merging routes It will happen is up to dovetail to make the decision!..
1. Ngl i doubt, they seem to be over bml now. 2. I have a very large amount of speculation this will be the UK base route for tsw, considering the 700 releasing (following the acelas path) and the EpicDB info containing a flying scotsman dlc. 3. Now this i’ve been dying to see, a livery editor and scenario planner 2.0, but who knows, probably not sadly. Let’s hope i can be proved wrong. 4. Tbh, chances of this are next to 0. The route would just be too long to recreate with all the traffic running along that length of route, as cool as it would be to see.
As said I said "if" and doesn't look like we won't have a roadmap this month.......I don't see a roadmap happening this month, Just as it was last year
Luckily I hadn't voted yet. Because now it's a definite Yes!. I don't know if I will rage quit on the stream but I will be present
I thought the vote had changed to direct but because of all the rumours I probably also will watch the august roadmap on the 24th as well (speculation)
