Typically we don't announce whats happening in the patch prior to 24 hours before the patch, so the "late" notice was standard.
While yes, majority of the bugs are resolved in test, some bugs do sneak in with final release too - this is one of those cases. It was not intentional nor something we wanted to happen.
We don't like intentionally upsetting players who are already upset for another reason (Narai being fixed).
You called it that we'd have a technical bug?! Wow, you should come work for us ;)
We're hoping to have a resolution and a fix to this quickly and can turn operations back on ASAP.
Fem,
