    What will he do...
    Where will he go?
    Nobody knows.

    To quote Jahlon "it's almost memeable".
    We all want more info right? Steven said a release before 2020. I understand it may not be likely, but to have all the information staggered out slowly is a shame. There is a Know Your Nodes: Divine Node Type ready to be put up but we are still waiting on approval.

    They want nodes part 3 and 4 to be more substantial and representative of the final game so thats why they wait with it. Which is imo a good thing

    How do you know that? I was under the impression Siege and Horde modes were being worked on now and soon to be tested, then Alphas and Betas.
    With release months away, wouldn't what they have now about nodes be as representative of the final game as it's going to get?

    Node 1 and 2 came over 2 years ago. Nodes 1 was half animated but just gave us a lot of information. They are fantastic, and I doubt I'm the only one here who has watched them both more than once.
    Maybe I am just impatient? Or too excited for this game. At this point I don't care, I just want to know more.

    Release is not months away. They scrapped the "before 2020" release date

    at this point, I think nodes 3 is pointless

    I believe they mentioned that it would be coming out roughly around the time of Alpha 1 during a past Q&A.

    Indeed.
    Found this from ashespost transcript livestream 4-15-19 @Behague

    Q: Have you done a few variants of nodes 3, has there been some gameplay changes or design changes?
    A: The nodes 3 is a marketing heavy series that provides a lot of information for AoC. We need to make sure that its representative of the key marketing of the project as it’ll be viewed by so many eyes. We could put it out yesterday but it wont be representative of what I want it to have. I view the 4 part series to be an indicator of the phases the game is in. I see nodes 3 during Alpha 1 and Nodes 4 closer to Beta.

    Lets be serious, its the typical curse of 3:
    Half Life 3
    Left 4 Dead 3
    Star Wars Battlefront 3 (I wont count EA Star Wars Battlefront)
    StarCraft 3
    PAYDAY 3
    Nodes 3.

    They are all things that the community wants but will never get.

    I heard someone was looking for Nodes 3.

    Until Intrepid Releases the real version, you are stuck with my Unofficial One

    I wonder if we will get the religion blog and nodes three before the end of the year?

    Even if you did, what would you do with the information? It would just lead to months of hand-wringing and speculation on the "direction" of the game. Various armchair "experts" would weigh in with lofty pronouncements of "Nope, sir, I don't like it!" all the while gaining Intrepid no real value. They will wait till they feel it is ready, rest of us be damned.
