Now that hatching tide is over...

Didn't Yoshi P's last letter say that there probably wouldn't be another patch until mid-June?

1.18 is going to be relatively bigger than previous patches. This means that balancing is going to take more time than usual, and so we’re anticipating a somewhat longer period between patches. Even if we break off some of the content and release it ahead of time in a 1.17b patch (which me might!), 1.18 will still go live sometime in mid-June at the earliest. Sorry for that.

Thanks for the response. But that just says they "might" release a mini-patch sometimes before mid-June. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but given the phrasing, I thought that meant it's more likely to not happen. Which is why I said that there "probably" wouldn't be a patch until mid-June. But overall, I was just suggesting to the OP that this:

I'm dying to see what's in next patch... ; ; Hopefully it will be announced tomorrow and go live wed or thu (so we can have a patched friday 13th ^^).

probably isn't going to happen. I doubt we'll see a patch until early June, at the earliest. But the safer bet is that we won't see any patches until mid-June.

But like the OP, I'm interested to see where they take this storyline.
