    Yeah, thats all very well and good, but like I said you don't know anything about it yet so everything you say about what's going to be going on with this dlc is just speculation. I bet it will be fun, something atleast as good as the wm
    Release the panic!

    Generally thicker cut, premium grade (compared to generic fatty), maple cured.

    But the 'maple cured' part can vary depending on the region sold in and the population sold to.

    Yourself being a Canadian, I thank you for just one more contribution your country has made to mine.

    If they'd taken discussion of the game seriously, interacted, and participated with the player base in any demonstrable way in the beginning stages of several of the fiascoes that plank owners here as well as players who have been paying attention tried to point out, much of the following can have convincing cases easily made for them:

    1.) If they had spent 20% the time working to fix the disconnects that they spent jekkin a grenade system that we kept asking them to stop jekking with or return to original:
    2.) If they had spent 20% the time working to fix the bustedazz-chat system that they spent jekkin a grenade system that we kept asking them to stop jekking with or return to original:
    3.) If they had spent 20% the time working to fix the bugs that they spent jekkin a grenade system that we kept asking them to stop jekking with or return to original:

    They'd (possibly) have fixed much of what is driving people away from the game in numbers that caused the price to plummet, made us happy, and still had 39% of the time left over to create content that was asked for and/or recommended in dozens of threads by players here who know more about the game and have orders of magnitude more time and money invested in the game than The Devs do,

    AND:

    We (probably) wouldn't be living with stuff that is STILL driving people away,

    AND:

    We (probably) wouldn't be sitting here putting up with a lot of shtako that we're now told took so much time to jekk up in the first go-round and has too much time/money poured down the rat-hole to go back now.

    And they'd still have 1% of the time left over to screw around with TROVE in their spare time.

    These are just my opinions.
    I have lots of opinions.
    Some of them, on occasion, people have agreed with.
    I do not trust those people.

    Yep... it's a tie between Canadian bacon and hockey. IMHO, of course.

    I agree, it will be interesting to see which way they take it.. Though I get the feeling too many people are reading too much into it being a Samurai and swords dlc.
    After all, during WW2, the Japanese army followed aspects the Bushido code, and you didn't get many Fully armoured Samurai running about those battlefields. After all it was more of a code of morals very close to the code of chivalry found in Europe. And at its heart the code typified seven virtues of what a Samurai should strive for in his every day living as a person, along with the 4 tenets.
    I have a feeling that its will be more towards modern Bushido, found in the Modern Japanese army and to some degree in the Army of WW2, with Commander Yoshida Hiro modelling himself as a Samurai or Shogun rather then medieval styled Samurai running around paradise.

    You might want to Google "Nanking, Bushido", and do a little light reading.

    Just sayin'.....

    Exactly, thats part of the point I was making... The code of Bushido followed by the Japanese army was far different from the medieval code, you can read up on many atrocities done by the Japanese army in the name of Bushido through out the 20th century, such as the Bataan death march.
    As I said, I get the feeling the dlc will be more towards that latter interpretation of Bushido that was used more as propaganda to create a frenzied army then the Samurai of the medieval feudal period. (and even then, history shows that wasn't all the romantic honourable swordsmen that many films like to portray)
