    Patch 1.20a: Dec 27
    Patch 1.20b: Jan 19
    Patch 1.20c: Jan 31
    Patch 1.21: March 8
    Patch 1.21a: March 26

    I could go on but you get the point. Look at that, all of the lettered patches fall within 2-3 weeks of the larger numbered patch or the last lettered patch. The gap between the last lettered paptch and the next large numbered patch is much larger. It's called a pattern from which you can infer information. We're getting a large lettered patch now and they've said the summer event starts in the beginning of August, which falls within 3 weeks of today.
    This trend has broken. 1.22 lettered patches contained things like the lieutennant promotion and associated quests - major content. They were also a bit more spread out in the calendar.

    I'm mostly talking about the time frame. Also:

    They are usually hotfixes and content they couldn't or didn't want to add with the large numbered patch.
    There has been content added in lettered patches that didn't make it into the larger numbered patch. I acknowledged that.
