Era cadence marquee count not fixed; framework is a foundation, not final

View original on Discord →

A player (Mikayas) asked Meathead to clarify the marquee cadence under the new Era system, specifically whether players should anticipate roughly six marquees per twelve-week cycle. Meathead's answer was deliberately non-committal but did clarify the framing the team is using internally.

  • No fixed marquee count: "if I remember correctly, there is not a set in stone number" of marquees per cycle. Players should not bake "6 per 12 weeks" into their farming math.
  • The announced structure is a foundation: "this is more of a foundation than a finalized idea from us. This just so happens to be one of the largest steps" — meaning the published cadence document is a directional commitment, not a contract.
  • Galactic Chases position is open: Separately, when asked how Galactic Chases fold into the new Era cadence, Meathead deferred the question to the formal Q&A submission process ("That's a great question to submit"), confirming the team has not publicly defined where Chases sit in the new cadence.
  • Q&A forum location: He pointed players to "the very last thing in the Community Update Post" as the link to submit cadence questions formally.

Takeaway for content planning: the Era cadence post should be treated as a roadmap, not a schedule, and farming guides should avoid asserting a hard marquee-per-cycle number until CG publishes one.
