    Quick reminder to keep discussions vague at this stage so there aren't spoilers for others.

    *adds copy-paste to [removed - JD - surprise]*

    Like that DTG JD ?

    Im very hyped for [removed - JD - surprise], as it looks awesome with the stock and section of the route, will see what [removed - JD - surprise] has to offer timetable wise but i can already tell that [removed - JD - surprise] will be an absolute bug fest and just a lazy cash Grab.
    Also excited for news on [removed - JD - surprise] in sundays Stream :)

    How amusing. I started this thread, spent 24 hours away from the forums, and missed all the leaks! Actually I'm okay with that, I will not look at anything that seems a spoiler, and wait until tomorrow evening.

    It's already been leaked anyways. Hiding it won't change anything

    That won't come tomorrow - but we're hoping for good news with the Roadmap on Thurs. It's with our beta community this weekend.

    Lol at DTG removing comments about the upcoming routes for tsw, half of us know now anyway and why the childish "we will announce it first" mentality? If you want to announce something before it's leaked then perhaps..... make sure it doesn't get leaked in the first place haha

    It's more about not spoiling it for others who would like to watch everything tomorrow night. Some people are aware, some aren't, some people are holding out for tomorrow night.

    The actual full length video has been made unavailable. I'm sure if you go on youtube and look up tsw3 leaks or whatever, there will be at least 1 video talking about it

    I fully agree with JD's post above mine, some people want to know as soon as possible, some want to see the official reveal.

    As for me, I wasn't particulary excited by the stream and was going to wait for the roadmap article, but after the forum posts here, I got curious and engaged my google-fu skills.
    After seeing, my excitement for the stream changed from "meh" to "HELL YEA!", so it can be seen as one way of promotion I guess.

    Well then JD maybe its a good idea not to leak ANYTHING until you want people to know. By doing so you don't end up with different customers knowing different things, oh what's the point in censoring peoples comments, you must have an unlimited supply of NDAs

    Same here. It reaffirmed my excitement for one item in particular which if well done will be the route of the year if not the whole TSW franchise since it started.

    At the end is a win win. Creates a buzz and people are taking about it. All good stuff but please make sure the previous other routes like BBC, SEHS, are not forgotten. Rivet we are hoping you take care of the bugs on the beautiful Glasgow /Edinburg route

    Sorry if that upsets some of the very serious people here.

    no one has any reason at this time to say JD has leaked what’s been leaked, assuming it was an innocent mistake, these things happen.

    there’s also no need to spoil anything for those wishing for the content to be revealed when it was originally scheduled, those who want to discuss it can surely wait just one more day…

    for those who want it spoiled there are other ways than this forum, that’s the way I found a lot more out.

    from people who I have seen on the forums already go about revealing what’s been leaked, barely any have used any sort of spoiler tag, that’s seen from both “New Members and Well Known”.

    Someone has already said what to search for and where above. I've seen a chapter list and that's it.

    That said, it's the weekend and jd shouldn't need to monitor us. It's tomorrow night.

    Whatever is coming will be months away anyhow so I don't see there being any newly declared things in the next 4 weeks.

    I'm not blaming anyone specifically I am however saying it isn't an isolated occurence. Some people like surprises, but it only takes a comment to ruin it

    I don’t know what all the fuss is about, after all most people on the thread have said they aren’t buying another piece of TSW DLC again?

    So not really sure why people are getting all excitable over a DLC they claim to not be buying.

    Seen some discussion on Discord that despite only a screenshot being shown, they’ve also “heard” the screenshot and said the sounds will all be wrong too!

    The full video for Sunday was leaked with gameplay, which is what they are referring to with the sounds, that video is no longer available aside from a copy someone has somewhere.

    Well history has shown that dtg doesn't always get it right and are dependent on third parties to get sounds right and even then the mixing can be a bit wrong. Also some may not buy it but that doesn't mean they can't comment on it.

    Considering all the praise going for UK, US and some German routes, I assume it's something from a country we have not seen yet.
    Long live Australia, welcome to DTG!
    (In the unlikely case I actually figured it out, oh well! Here is to edits. I'm bluffing.)

    But seriously, the only thing that could qualify as spectacular in terms of UK would be the entire ECML or GWML or somesuch, spanning its 600 miles or kilometers, whichever, the six hours drive. Or the equivalent in the US, the full NEC. What NEC, all the way to Miami! ;-D
