Theorizing Patch 0.8.2 & Beyond

[AndrewTilley]

Just to add some context to that world map image in the OP – this is what Mike said during the Q&A stream when displaying it on screen to everyone:

@AndrewTilley

Okay, let’s check out this map here and see what’s going on. So I know I’ve mentioned that there’s going to be some changes coming to the map panel. Here’s a prototype of what that’s going to look like, and a little sneak peak of the map from the Divine Era in Maj’elka as well. We got double leaks here – two-tier leaks! If you see anything in the text please don’t read into it because I don’t know what the text says, and it was definitely put there as placeholder text. This was not made in-engine, but rather in Photoshop. Although, the one in-game does look remarkably similar to this at this point.

If there was a new chapter coming in this patch I feel it would have been included in the Patch Preview for 0.8.2, similar to previous patch previews that had chapter content – like the Patch Preview for 0.7.8.
