hey can we please get advance notice of dates for big patch release

[deft monolith]

Pepperidge Farm remembers when we were promised patch roadmaps which were never followed through on.

Not even asking for like 6 months in advance (altho as much notice as possible would be nice), just like 2-4 weeks prior even. Especially with the gacha/patch break recently, it's difficult to be prepared for new patches when we don't know what's releasing over maintenance until it's already released.

Maybe throw in the stats you're mulling over for NA/EU STD3 while you're at it. KR/CN/TW all get at least 1-2 weeks' notice of release date and expected specs afaik, why don't we get anything other than patch notes during/after maintenance?

Speaking of STD3, could you please make sure release date for Jordra is the 17th please, i'm busy on the 10th

Joke: Nah you only need 5 minutes to clear STD 3 dude, notice isn't that important, you'll get thru it quickly! Not like you'd need to get off work to have plenty of time to run it, what're you so worried about

Serious answer: It's pathetic how they just do it out of a blue moon, notice was less essential imo for 120 release, it's just a new raid [Outside of the whole artisan grind] at the end of the day, I have all my time to learn the new content after. STD 3 is gonna be accompanied with lots of BATTLE FAILED, that I wanna make sure I get my clears before usual reset. With the failed Eisen experience, I got mine last minute on top of working. Words of a dedicated af whale.
