Ok I Did It.2854 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Last year the Black Lion Chests where updated for SAB, but this year they have not changed so far, are we expecting a change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 If they did not change during the patch (on Tuesday), then I would expect not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashburntoo.7431 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The current BLC selection is relatively new, but with SAB going live today (Thursday), they may do an update with the standard patch next Tuesday. There's been no confirmation by Anet either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Technically, the BL chest contents are divided into "seasons" that change on an irregular basis. So far, I believe each change has happened to coincide with the release of content that fits the theme of the new content. However, there have been plenty of updates that have not included a change. Since the seasonal rework began in October 2016, there have been 14 different chests in 17 months, roughly every 4-6 weeks. The last chest released on 6 March, less than 4 weeks ago, i.e. it's too soon for a new 'season' of chests. **** _Update:_ looking at the data, * The average length of a cycle is ~38 days. * The shortest cycle was 21 days; there have been three chests that lasted less than 4 weeks (LNY '17, Elonian Seeker's, Lunatic Court '17) * The longest cycle was was 86 days; there were four chests that lasted over 7 weeks (Halloween '16, Lake Doric, Sworn of Balthazar, Return to Orr) * There have been at least 3 major releases (as defined on the wiki) without a chest update. (That doesn't count some of the balance patches and other smaller, QoL scheduled updates to the game.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubySzymek.1362 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Next week update is very likely to change BLCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
