Not holding my breath.
Whatever it is, it will have
1) Bugs in design. Like Alien event stage 1 ("Let's make aliens start spawning before anyone has the suit that can hit them! And let's make their spawn unlimited!") and Crystanol stage, Cake vs. Pie v.1 ("Let's get everyone in the server to come to Henesys ch1 and spam their skills at a big cake or pie!"), Cake vs. Pie v.2 ("Let attackers have their normal damage, but make defenders hit fixed damage. Also, make the barrier unhealable."), and anything else "exclusive" we've had recently.
2) Bugs in implementation. Crashes and the like. Weakness to exploits. All the usual. Won't be tested in Tespia, so expect the worst. (Even if it does go to Tespia, will probably not be possible to properly test due to lack of powerful gear and skills).
3) A bug fix that makes the whole thing near worthless, e.g. preventing exploits by making all the rewards lame or untradeable or both.
As to what it will be, I'm going to join the majority in speculating something in Masteria. Hoping that the crashing in CWKPQ was due to stage 5 of the PQ including something that we don't have in our data yet because part 5 of chaos is not in there yet.
What I wish it would be? A GMS-exclusive server-side filter that verifies every incoming packet and bans any invalid ones on sight.
