Pretty sure custom commanders will be in "soon". So I guess, anything new released in way of commanders, would soon be redundant. Then you'd have the whole forum exploding because "rip off, they knew about custom commanders, and still took my money".
I guess so, but why not announce that instead of say new faction, when they could probably provide us with some info on this rather than "New faction, that is all" We kinda know both are coming (Unless custom commanders gets scrapped) but I think they way they revealed WFA with some GAMEPLAY Trailers was great, built a lot of hype and then they were out a month or two later.
Don't get me wrong, this is a huge step in the right direction and I know the community exploded over "OMG NEW FACTION, GONNA BE AWESOME/IMBALANCE" but just the "roadmap" in general is much needed, it is something a lot of other Multiplayer focused game studios have done for years and Relic is way behind in the times.
