Greetings, Tenno!

We’re here with a status update on our upcoming deployment plans: we’re going dark on Hotfixes/Updates for the remainder of October. Spooky, right? The team is switching gears to prepare for Echoes of Veilbreaker. This Update will be going through the Cert process for consoles, which requires us to submit content and changes (also called ‘integrations’) to the Certification Process by a specific deadline. This Cert deadline is crucial to meet in order to launch updates, and as a result, our Hotfix activity must be paused.

There are a few key reasons why we cannot Hotfix the first is that we are required to pull over every integration needed for Echoes of Veilbreaker to the Test build, which is what gets deployed to the Public server. Once that occurs, we cannot Hotfix without reversing that process, lest we release unfinished content as well. Secondly, we cannot Hotfix or Update once Consoles have been submitted to Cert, as it would mangle the order in which the integrations are organized to go live, which is crucial for Cross Platform Play. Our goal is always to Hotfix all crucial and eligible fixes up to this point before we enter Cert.

That said, we will have a Devstream near the end of October; more info to come on Echoes of Veilbreaker and more!

Of course, we’re still very much online, thank you all for continuing to report issues in the Public build that we can fix for Echoes of Veilbreaker on all platforms.

Thank you!
