I'd be surprised if we were close. The prestige shift and introduction of adaptive content likely pushed a new progression title back a bit.
Probably we are going to get a new endgame content in November, if fully explored we can get 2 7r5 for the new title, and with cyber weekend...or month or whatever, P2W players will also get 286 R5 materials
I don't think there will be a new title bcos look at EQ
Valiant is the highest tier and within valiant we have many sub tiers based on your prestige, there isn't a single player in the entire playerbase who has reached the highest sub tier based on prestige
Why do you think there will be a new title at all?
A new title doesn't serve any function at this point in the game
Earning 7r3 from Necro was skill challenging,
But I guarantee you on my HERCULES that to earn 7r5 from FIRST endgame content will be test of mindless revive dump, units and AI luck instead of skill challenge.
The first 7 star rank 5 will be purchased.
Players can earn one by playing game at a later date.
Remember, game will punish you for Title rank-up now.
The title system is bad. One got valiant on clearing necropolis, other did with units in banquet, gap between same title roster and skill, make reward/difficulty/content system imbalanced.
It will require some Prestige bar to reach for sure 😒
If they do any more, it'll be prestige, story clears AND r6s.
The 'hilarious' thing is that Valiants are still dumped with Paragons for so much of rewards and content.
The soonest… in time for cyberweekend, but its hard to find the line in the sand that would make for it right now. Most likely… complete/explore 9.4 (April?) and have XYZ champ requirements (e.g. a 7 star R5). The latest… before July 4th.
There will likely be a new progression title. No idea when.
Also, the Rewards go up based on that title, as well as the Prestige marker. So that wouldn't be an issue.
what do you think it’ll be called?
My guess…
Just like valiant, complete 9.3 + 2x 7r5s and they will release a revive dump end game quest based around Ares in November and tie it to Cyber Monday offers and the next chance at the title for non spenders will be during next spring cleaning.
I don't think it'll be this year, at earliest, it's gonna be next year after 9.4?
