Hi there Ian,
fellow Cmdrs
most of you've been around much longer than I, let me ask you out of curiosity, how was it prior to horizons? ( I started with horizons back in 2018) What I mean is, were there pleasant surprises in the release no one saw coming, or was everthing leaked before? I like good surprises.

Not everything was leaked, but there was a lot more info on ongoing developments. There were also much more frequent content releases.
WoW lost me when extreme stats on top of resil made 5 minute fights turn into 20 minute infinite rejuv fests going through your rotations over and over till someone messed up or got careless.
The more bullet spongy and immune we get the less fun combat becomes (For me).
I hope whatever happens the game is expanded without doubling down on time to kill.

That's not really how I remember 2015. CQC and Powerplay was a surprise for all of us, generally we didn't know about an update until a few weeks before release. In terms of content, frequency and communication I'd say Beyond / 2018 was the best year so far.
Agreed.
My favorite combat ever was in Stalker Call of Prypiat and the very first Ghost Recon game, where you could die from a single well-placed bullet, but so did NPCs.
On the other hand, a game like Fallout 4 is completely unplayable for me without the "War never changes" mod (and several others) that gets rid of bullet sponges (both the player and npcs).
In 2015 newsletters still had news in them!

A few weeks before release is actually a lot when you get content releases every 2/3 months like in the first year.
New Era…
What could that mean?
A paradigm shift in the galaxy? A total reset of trading? A new start for everyone? A jump 100 years into the future? Benevolent alien overlords? …?
To call something A New Era demands it to be spectacular. One can only hope it is

Expect news about upcoming content closer to upcoming content...
I believe every 2 months never happened.
True, but 1.1 was basically just increasing the route plotter from 100 to 1000ly. Imagine Frontier would sell that as an update these days...1.0: December 16th 2014
1.1: February 10th 2015
1.2: March 10th 2015
PS
And CGs. I remember how people hated those though.
Indeed, but these were months before the releases, not a few weeks.
And to this day, nigh on fives years on, CGs are still being flogged and rebadged for all their worth, with little/no improvement of note...True, but 1.1 was basically just increasing the route plotter from 100 to 1000ly. Imagine Frontier would sell that as an update these days...

And yet people act like pausing them is the worst thing that could happen to the game...
Didn't check them all, but newsletter 72 was released a few weeks before the Powerplay Beta.
In the meantime the entire Beyond content was revealed like one year in advance...
If none of the three are in there, then we're probably looking at a complete re-write of the game from the ground up. However, do you see many of the existing players sticking around if at least one of these items arn't implemented.
I'll stick around for sure... I'll miss the rest of you, but at least will have more elbow room in the galaxy
