So… does anyone remember the last time a patch was released, you know… 3.5? I even took notes about it.
Would you look at that… the patch launched the same Australian workday that the last preview stream was.
Salty said on the Monday stream that she wanted to do an extended stream to get the entire preview done in one session. I can see very good reasons why the update would occur quickly after the stream, to mitigate a lot of pre-update post-stream speculation. It’s going to be hard to keep the “cat in the bag” after the stream, given how much content is in the update.
History will repeat itself again, just as Tacet suggests.
