[2023] Wednesday Patchday

Hello,

I noticed that 7.3.1 is scheduled for a Wednesday, this is the first time in a while a content patch is not released on Tuesday around weekly reset.
- What does this mean for GS5? Will we only have 6 days for week one?
- Does weekly reset stay on Tuesday?
- Is this a outlier and in the future it'll be back to Tuesday as patch days or will it be Wednesday or any other days from now on?

Cheers,

Hi there,

Due to the patch being deployed on Wednesday, players will have indeed have 6 days for week one. The weekly reset will remain on Tuesdays per usual.

A content patch being released on Wednesday is not the norm though it did occur once before with a patch that contained an update for Galactic Seasons. This time around is due to Monday being a US holiday (Labor Day). There is quite a lot of work leading up to a patch day from multiple teams from QA, Live and DevOps, and more. Given that, we moved the launch day back to Wednesday instead of the standard Tuesday to keep our standard buffer, since a large portion of team is out Monday for the holiday.
