I don't think anyone ever said there would be a climax tonight. This is a hunt that is leading into 2.2. The hunt is intended to finish a while before 2.2 launches but that could still be anywhere between now and the end of September.
Yes, this. What the hell were people expecting?! They literally said "The hunt starts at the 28th". Starts. As in, it won't conclude untill later. So yeah, the culmination of this hunt will very probably coincide with the release of 2.2.
Seriously, anybody that expected MAJOR THRGOIDS APOCALYPSE N STUFF
today really should get a grip. I hear people being disappointed, referring to the shots of alien ships interrupting Braben's interview. It only stands to reason adding major game assets like that would only take place
in a major update, i.e. when 2.2 drops.
I don't know about you guys, but I had fun today just following this thread and all the tinfoil theories, watching some Twitch streams of people that were on site, and just the general buzz surrounding all of this.
Come 2.2, I think more spectacular events will be waiting and I for one am fine with that.
