Is it the beginning of August yet? That's why I figure it'll be in 1.23 a or b, it fits the time window.

So you dont think this new 1.23 patch will last 2 weeks or so before next one?
That's no proof, thats speculation.

You wanna prove it, do it now & not in 2 weeks.

Do you not know the history behind the lettered patches? They're always small patches that come out shortly after a large numbered patch. They are usually hotfixes and content they couldn't or didn't want to add with the large numbered patch.

Patch 1.20: Dec 12
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 patch 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.

I did say within 3 weeks. I'm fully aware of when mid-August takes place, I simply gave them a wider time range because at most the patches have taken about 3 weeks. Optimistically it would fall within 2 weeks but the pattern shows that it's usually about 2-3 weeks. Obviously it's a rough estimation but the pattern has held true for the other patches.

What does that have to do with the time frame of lettered patches or the summer event? I mean that's entirely plausible, it's also possible that they left some content out for a lettered patch in August or even September.

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.
