The goalpost has shifted from 4 months to 4.5 months

Is it really though?

Their typical historic patch days have been 119 days between each major patch, with this upcoming patch being around 133 days which still puts it on their expectation of an additional 2 weeks on top of their typical development time, no? Something that they announced a while ago with the 6.1 patch notes.

Unless I missed an actual announcement specifying that they will be extending the development cycle by an additional 2 weeks on top of what they have already specified earlier in the year? As far as I am concerned though, their default patch cycle was 119 days which is already 4 months.

didnt they also say that patches that land in Summer/Winter may get delayed slightly because they give their workers downtime during the holidays? Gods forbid the developers are ever allowed out of their chairs for anything not related to work, right?

I don't know, but I'd like to say that if people were held to the same standards with their working hours as to what they seemingly hold the developers too then they'd probably be kicking and screaming, throwing their toys out the pram and all.

oh im well aware. i was poking fun at the fact that some people want the devs to be worked like dogs just to please them, never mind the fact it'd cause severe burnout and a degradation in quality on all fronts
