There is no rush i having alot of fun. But does anyone know if they are working on awakening or if we are getting the rest of the classes next? I would assume we probably wont know anything until the Hot-Event finishes next month?

Awakening will probably come soon as it will be needed in order for player to handle the next zone that's going to be released 

There is a road map, and awakening should come out before they release more classes. I would like if they added more classes, but i doubt they'll do that for awhile

As people said here.. The road map we were presented after launch shows that we will get awakenings, absolute skills, Valencia, and Kamasylvia before the end of June. This means you should not expect new classes until second half of the year. 

https://www.google.com/search?q=bdx+road+map&rlz=1C1GCEA_enPL776PL776&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=4zgZtWpNd67mbM%3A%2C0IbVWYCGnWkZMM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTYrXnGdmKHBsPMv_Gfz2dKZxUzgw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwibrbbg9snhAhUQuIsKHRyDCMwQ9QEwAXoECAkQBA#imgrc=4zgZtWpNd67mbM: 

So far PA has been consistent with bringing these milestones BUT they still haven't brought things tied to Mediah like alchemy stones, night vendor etc. so we just need to wait 

Valencia and awakening 100% on next big update by the looks of it

I'm 95% sure the order will be: Awakenings (less than 2 weeks away), Valencia (by May), Absolute skills (end of May), Kamasylve (before end of June)

then end of June second roadmap for back half of 2019 will be:

Rabams (combined skills)

Margoria

4 new classes

Valencia Part 2

Drieghan 

I want my Twirly StaffBlade so I can spin2win.

then ya'll can have whatever classes ya'll want. 

Cant wait for awakenings... Games so fun with em

Margoria should be released after Valencia.  It definitely should come before Kamasylvia, like it did on PC, just for the extra content. I hope it's first half of 2019 and they just haven't mentioned it.

actually it shouldn't, with current knowledge of sea monster hunting do you really want people making a billion silver a week and have nothing for them to spend it on? Do you really think that is good for the health of a game having a select group of people sitting of 25-30 billion silver to help catapult them into grind spots that require super high gear scores that then turn around and make 100mil + an hour.  I also assume some want a PvE server where they can do this uncontested as well. 

If you value the status of BDX you do not want Margoria out now. If you do, you are one of those people who want to take of the full advantage of SMH. Margoria was the Trojan horse content, at first and to most it appears to be a joke other than tease a new continent. Port Ratt, a place you can only go 30ft into, the home of Imperial trade items from master 6-10 (maybe 12 its been a while since i was out at PR) a few random NPCs, a little knowledge, a few nodes, couple of meaningless quest, and a hub for sailing dailies. While sure the addition of coral is nice, the ability to make Margoria seafood meals is now back, that patch does more harm than good for the early status of the game. 

While the monster has been tamed some on PC, I feel Xbox hasn't been vetted well enough and tested to add all the features to this version that could cause a serious inflation issue on the console. The only guilds currently that have access to see such info are guilds who won node wars or siege guilds who won regions to see how the payout system works. It will be a while before wee see weekly support funds for guilds so most cant see monthly payouts even worth it. Also no offense to  and his team but I don't trust them yet on how to monitor people selling top tier payouts as BikiniPanda (silver seller) has returned to PC. 

Margoria has less to offer than all the other regions, if any content is to come out of order i hope this is the last to be release but also the most vetted and exploit proof patch they put out. I don't want to hear about a single person making 7 billion silver in a week from ONE pay out ever again.

I thought the majority of the "ocean" content came from the Margoria update, like the advanced boats, ghost ships, Sea monster threats, treasure hunting,  etc... Seems hefty enough, but if it caused a lot of balance issues, I can see the concern.

Oh SMH, the Scarecrow returns.. TBH It's been so Severely nerfed on PC (damage / ship turning / the payout system as a whole), that it's just Meh gain compared to going Aakman / Hystria  and it still takes a lot of dedication and resources Just to Get Started and Keep It Up. Similarly to grinding you gotta spend hours a day doing it as entire guild to even make sure you get high payouts. I wouldn't be really afraid of that.

Margoria was a band-aid content hold over to try to dull our "Kama When?" harassment. It was to tease that "someday" a full other land mass would be available. But money wise depending on what patch version they bring this content in it's some what balanced or its busted with what you can do.

Yeah i know it's nerfed now, but my only concern is which patch version they bring in and has all the new guild patches been put in to keep it in check.  If all that has been checked off, i'm not really that worried.

I disagree with this. Margoria is some of the best content, especially for those that don't like to repeatedly participate in pvp for grind spots. This is a large portion to fishing and its important content. You may not like, enjoy, or participated in that content but it was not a bad update. PA can control all aspects to the economy and what the value of items are in the game. We already see this with Coelacanths. They are worth 250K on PC but only 75K on Xbox. There is no reason this can't be done for other aspects of fishing.

I might also add that barely anyone is taking advantage of fishing to be in a position to take advantage of that content. Regardless, Margoria most likely will not drop before Valencia. Who knows with this team as the order of content release is all over the place.

As for the OP, Awakening will happen before new classes. They have been sticking to the road map pretty closely.

What does one need to do to take advantage of fishing at this point? From my understanding it's not a very feasible income atm. Outside of leveling your profession, getting upgraded rods and lures. What can you do? To me fishing is really only the best way to get relic shards consistently right now

I Would like to see more classes, i expect it will follow the same release path as the pc at an accelerated pace.

We will agree to disagree, it was a trash update for most of the game (yay cool i sail for 30 minutes to get to a town that has a few NPCs, a stupid quest chain, a few nodes. a bit of amity knowledge, and some trade items 90% of BD still can't buy). I cant tell you how many times i told people about Port Ratt and didnt believe something was that far north on the map, and had to take them to go discover it. A lot of people just forget about it. Why? Because it takes 30 - 50 REAL TIME minutes **in the beginning** to get out that far.  My personal opinion it was rushed content, they could have spent more time developing it. Port Ratt - one of the cooler looking cities in the game, cant go more than 10 feet into it without hitting an invisible brick wall. 

 I did my fair share of Triple float fish runs, made some money but I was a GM of a guild so I rarely had time to actually do make my 100m fishing trips. Now I am not saying it didn't bring some good things to the game, but ramming fish with a boat is hardly content. The reason PA is controlling this, im pretty sure we don't have the fish patch that made these little gold nuggets worth 250k a piece yet. The triple float meta didn't come till we had Valencia and the sailboat then it became worth doing. 

Also i will say i respect people who think Margoria is great content patch, I knew a lot of people in Ahoy and BDONavy that almost never stayed on land once it released. So it gives something for everyone. But the minority can not out voice/ out priority the voice of the majority with how the game is run/ developed. I hope they give these people more to do, make ocean content amazing and worth while! 

Most people are only taking advantage of fishing for two things right now: Relics or title hunting. My money is more on Relics. I do agree hot spots and harpooning should be in soon, but to be fair they have a crap ton of stuff to translate and verify and bring in as it comes in.

LMAO. IT IS NOT A 30 MINUTE TRIP. And if you dont have a euphoria, few will survive the journey. The best thing about margoria is the new buff foods tbh. Hunting is somewhat profitable. Honestly i just want to see all the newbies die going on rafts and fishing boatd for the luls. Margoria isnt an update on its own.. it really should have and in the future be part of a larger content update.

It's not? how long does it take to get to Port Ratt from Port Epheria? You cannot count the skilled sailing speeds on frigates or Sail boats. it on average took me on my sailboat without skilled sailing 30 minutes on way, and i was tracking it with my buff bar. If you are looking at the transports from Lema to Port Ratt that's 45 minutes alone because of the arc it takes. Fish/shark suites take longer since you have to relog or wait for stam to recharge all while dodging Candidums. Fishing boats/rafts is just a death wish.
 

If you look at the PC map close enough you can see roads in the distance which means its probably what comes after they fill the main area they are developing now. 

Bruh. On my euphoria before upgrades like an hour. The first time i went i took a fishing boat.. was like 2 hours. Cant ever go in a straight line due to hurricanes sea monster and ghost pirates. U must be capn jack sparrow tier sea god.

Sounds like fun to me... ?...and sorry about the derail OP. I was just curious since it was mentioned, and it ended up being pretty educational. So far as classes, I really hope some type of Necromancer male class is introduced. I see what ESO is doing and a BD version would be great. The female classes outnumber the males in the full lineup. They won't be able to give 2 males and 2 females every time. A nice balance would be cool. I definitely enjoy the ladies, though.
