Update: I see this is very tight which I didn't expect. So I'll set an end date: Sunday the 17th of May
Also if it ends up very close still I might take the liberty of choosing one over the other based on some comments I am reading here (this also means that your comments matter so have a say please). Last but not least I ll be trying to stream some testing sessions of the new classes and race over RE's twitch channel, feel free to lurk or participate!

Hi everyone,
while working these days to finish the Escape the Barrier game mode that I plan to release for free with the Dark Heroes DLC I realized two important aspects of it:
- It will take more time than expected to get it into a finished state that I will be satisfied with. Just so you know a little of what goes into this:
- More than a dozen new boss fights to design, develop and balance.
- Many (at least 50 would be my objective) unique map events with unique outcomes.
- A satisfying ending story wise and mechanically/gameplay wise. (this might seem trivial but its not)
- Tons of balance.
- Considering 1), I don't see why I can not deliver the DLC proper to those of you that want to play and experience the new classes, race and runes earlier.
Now this deviates from my original plan/idea which is why I want to ask you guys what you want. Launching the DLC proper earlier will allow me to release it at least 1 to 2 months earlier ( I will only have to test it more and market it a bit to launch it).
I am fine with either way really but I feel you get have the say here: Release poll
