What are the "hotfixes" that are being implemented?

So I’m still confused (sorry if I’m an idiot)

Will there be another patch tomorrow for savage that may or may not tweak potencies or what?

If there isn’t why didn’t they roll this hotfix into that patch

Software development pipeline. The hotfix patch was probably scheduled weeks in advance intended to be deployed last weekend but got delayed by the foliage issue. Adding another item to the hotfix patch maybe easier than adding entire hotfix patch to 7.21.

It's my understanding that there isn't going to be another patch tomorrow; the new savage is going to release while the game is live.

I remember seeing this said somewhere as well which is why I was confused

So are they basically just gonna make it randomly appear with no patch. Even on later expansion savages I don’t think I’ve ever seen them not tweak potencies at least slightly during the x.y1 patch

My best guess is they don't feel it's necessary after all the potency changes they rolled into 7.2.

No, because Savage unlocks like a seasonal event now - the NPC just suddenly appears on the clock (not exactly on the clock, because SE's machines are very slow). At this time, the merchants are updated as well. They have done this since the "1 week delay" they began in Endwalker.

Most likely they did the patch now instead of on release day, so then world racers have 2 hours to cap tomestones.
