Patch 1.6 News! (data mined)

So ...

... Central Park.

Are we thinking missions, an incursion, a new PvP/PvE area or a mix of this?

Let the insane speculation commence!!!

Yes, following some data mining, a conversation has been unearthed (i.e. NPC giving the player directions as they do at the start of a mission) discussing sending the player over the barrier into Central Park to "check out what's happening". There you have it.

Might be an ideal spot to make a Last Stand in NYC.  The Boathouse could be a BoO North and the park would be an interesting new environment with trees and such.  That being said, it could end up being a solid PvP/arena type area.

So did they actually pick a ETA on the next DLC I'm just hoping it's not rite around the time they release Ghost Recons Wilderness

They said current pts patch is the last one. So, I imagine they'll close the pts soon. And last time they were fairly quick in packaging up the release. 

The pts patch week 4 was mid last week. If they close it mid this week it could be by the weekend. Otherwise early next week.

In 1.5 pts the last pts wasn't in for a full week, though they had only made tweaks. This week has larger changes, so they might give it more time.

@Deep-Fried Dave mentioned on Twitter he thinks this will all drop 2/28 - 2 weeks from now and 1 week before Wildlands.  Like @Oh. daesu said, should be a quick turnaround, just have to wait on patch approval from MS and Sony.  Figure about 10-14 days for final patch adjustments after the PTS and certification by MS and Sony.  

However, the above is all speculation and there hasn't been anything office, to my knowledge.

That's pretty much the case.

They had one new gear set SEEKR, which they found too OPed, so they pulled it. And, should one new toy accidentally fall, then there were no new toys sitting one the wall.

Wasn't that gear set SEEKR mention way back in patch 1.3 maybe 1.4 and they held off on it and another thing I know some of you have played on the PTS is it me or the new add on just a little wacky like kind a off balance it's cool how it is PvP based but something seem's not rite maybe it's just me

Frontline and the Frontline battle rifle were mentioned with 1.3 and were held back.  They were reworked and released as D3-FNC gear set and Urban MDR with 1.4. They were originally pre-PTS and Massive wasn't able to balance them for PvP & PvE (worked fine in PvE & were beyond broken for PvP).
