    The ideal time to release balance changes is actually when nothing is at stake, as opposed to the day of a new tier or Ultimate release. That way, players have time to get used to the changes, and you have time to process feedback. You can afford to try some fairly risky experiments as well. Regardless of whether it shows no significant effect or if it skews the balance, you still have time to tone it back in March or April and try something different if need be.

    A part of me is curious, too, to see what might happen if they actually tried something less conservative. What would happen if you tied Lily generation to Stone IV and Holy casts, and the number of Lilies continuously sped up the rate at which your recasts counted down, as opposed to at the time of activation? You'd have a sort of Stone-based Greased Lightning system. You could afford to throw out something odd and see what happens without consequence. It might fall flat, but at least you have time to refine it before the expansion hits.
