Yeah, everything involving this is pretty farcical. I can't think of a single good reason for things to have rolled out in this way. I was looking forward to the Rising this year as I always do because they usually do interesting things to look on the past or to preview future updates, but so far I've been very underwhelmed because half of the content is legitimately gated behind an inconsistent wall they didn't have the foresight to advertise. The biggest part is we don't know whether this is intentional or if it's a bug because they aren't giving us any insight. But again, either way, it's less than professional.
