Thanks for the update.. but really curious to ask.. What kind of factors go into deciding the exact date?
I know it sounds dumb.. but one might expect that there isn't much to switching the items in guild shop..
But I am sure BB has good deal of things to think of (the devil is in the details as they say)...
So please do share more details if you can
Would love to hear and possibly understand them
While I can't answer for BB, there is one factor that is important - they need to take the server down in order to make the change. Unless the change has already been put in and is on a timer, they will have to do a maintenance in order to change the shop. Since they no longer do them every week, they have been doing groups of fixes each time they do a maintenance. Since the change is already on test, the outer limit is that they will put it in with the event patch. As long as the explorer is there when the event starts, I'll be ok with it.
The changes are good. I like it.
