Is there any reason the updates come out on Tuesdays but new tides of war don't start until Thursdays? We download the new content (guns, maps etc) and then have to wait 2 days to actually use the new content.
Usually, guns and maps that are released in an update become available when the update releases. This week, Al-Sundan had some critical issues that caused 100% crashing on Conquest so the team was going to have to delay it. In their investigations, they were able to confirm the issue wasn't present on smaller modes, so we will have the smaller modes available on Thursday.
Tuesdays are a good day for updates for us because: 1. It's not Monday/Friday - sometimes folks take long weekends, so staffing can be impacted on those days. 2. ToW starts on Thursday, so we generally try to avoid Thursdays as much as possible because we have to push the update first, then we have to confirm ToW viability, then push it live. 3. Wednesday - It's just ... Wednesday.
