The reddit thread about the patch notes on the subreddit literally proves the opposite and one of the main points of reference. Multiple people in that very thread asking about the exact problem I brought up.
Which is also why I referenced the fact that they should still mention the series rewards still being available in the reference of the seasons ending/starting just to hopefully keep clarifying for those individuals. Because at the very least those people did read the patch notes but clearly did not understand the difference STILL.
Or they could solve that "problem" by having it not exist to begin with.
Just like how there were a number of people in Twitch chats during the Criterion dungeons release referencing the "Another" version as the "normal" one even though the story version exists. Because it is more comparable to Extreme/Hard since there is an extra Savage version. So people naturally get confused.
