as said in the event thread:




more time to play, but also 1 week between every bug correction, probably

@everyone The game team has taken a decision to do only one maintenance per week and move it to every Wednesday from now on. It will include both the content that's supposed to be released on Tuesday and Thursday maintenances and the aim is to be more efficient with the releases and allow more time for you guys to enjoy the events. Our team is still doing their best to address all remaining bugs, so we appreciate all your reports in #issue_reports and we want to assure you that someone's looking over them, though some bugs are more tricky than others to fix. See ya tomorrow with the maintenance!

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this change. On one hand, there's less maintenance and therefore more playtime. On the other hand, I have two concerns:

First, what Hypo said about the 1 week long bug correction. There's been many times where there has been a medium sized bug introduced in the Tuesday maintenance and it was fixed 2 days later on Thursday. For now on, I hope they don't wait for the next maintenance before fixing a bug (aka, an entire week).

Secondly, I hope they continue to do 4 blooms a week. We were getting blooms at a pretty okay rate (8 blooms an event with 4 new knights introduced), so we were likely to catch up to DMM where every knight is bloomed. However, the past two weeks where they did one maintenance a week we only got 2 blooms a week. Granted, that was the holidays so maybe that was an exception.

I'd be 100% okay with this change so long as the team reassured us that game-breaking bug fixes would occur in real-time and not be subjected to a full week delay.

The bug(s) would 100% be fixed ASAP. So long as the bug(s) benefits the player.

No new Blooms again .

The way to sell the community on the change to once-a-week updates at least should entail the same workload.

The lack of blooms or CSQs is a clear and undeniable indication that the change was actually implemented as an excuse to lighten the workload and provide players with even less content.

And the irony of it all is, I actually wouldn’t mind as much if the staff was honest and transparent about all this and the state of the game as a whole. What annoys me the most is the suspicion that they’re being evasive and obtuse to try to milk as much more money as they can before pulling the plug.

No bug fixes or new blooms this time

No bug fixes ever at the rate they're going. The characters from event 69 have been waiting since November.

Oof. Also, looks like we're not getting New Year's event since Betwixt says we're doing DMM Event 69.
