[p][/p][p]We also want to give you a quick update on the patch cadence in the coming weeks.[/p][p]Since the release, we have been patching every Thursday to catch the most critical issues while the team was in full swing. Our goal is to continue to investigate and fix critical issues as soon as we can, but it will not be on a weekly cadence.[/p][p][/p][p]From now on, our release window and store rotation will shift to Tuesdays, however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates. During this time we will continue to monitor and work on critical issues.[/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, we are getting ready for the much larger Cold Snap update coming on Tuesday and it will bring many different fixes we have been working on along with all the new goodies.
