[2022] Why No June Content update

Great question, you’re a shark. Hope that reference lands…

Don’t fret please, we are not taking a studio-wide vacation, no time for that, lots to do - there will definitely be updates on a semi-weekly basis up until the next content release. The semi-weekly releases often and will continue to include bug fixes, balance changes, reward adjustments, exploit responses, QoL changes, etc.

Changes that require new tech, such as a gearset mechanism (though to be clear, this isn’t something coming in the near term), would not be part of these smaller updates.

A ‘peek-behind-the-curtain’ detail regarding this change is that content validation testing takes a while; this adjustment to content release timing gives us the opportunity to react to player concerns quickly with smaller weekly updates, while also ensuring the quality bar of the next content release is high. Pulling the curtain waaay back, the decision was made as a result of lessons learned around process, coming out of post-launch, and the first quarter of 2022.

Hope that answers your questions and concerns around the June updates.
