For those who can’t see the image, this is Daglar’s response to a player wanting clarification on when 3.0 souls will be released:
Not 2.6 – – but, maybe before 3.0 🙂
~SPOOKY RANDOM DEVELOPER COMMENT~
Look forward to ‘maybe’ 3.0 souls hitting Live prior to 3.0!
When will that be? Who knows. Patch 2.7 is slated to release the bulk of Tier 3 Raid encounters and there’s a possible 2.8 in the works as well. So probably a good few months away.
