So, when do you think the testing server will be up for the new super kewl upcoming update?
You think it will be up before the end of the month, or do you think it will be like the BS update? 3-4 months after announced?

I wouldn't expect it for a couple months
They said it would be over several patches, so don't expect everything at once either.

The arcade change has to come first, to accomodate the new boss.

It's probably going to take at least 2 months. I'm not sure if it will be as long as the Battle Sprites update, because this update is a lot more focused around level design, rather than programming abilities.

I know the Danger Missions took about a month each to make, so I'm expecting around that amount of time, if not slightly more for the new T3 Boss. Some of the new rank missions will probably take a bit, but most of them will be already existing levels.

The arcade part of the update will vary as to what the actual update entails. It may involve a lot of level design as they create entire continents, or a minimal series of "bridge" type areas connecting existing levels.

Same goes for Challenge Mode. If it functions just like the current difficulty settings, then it may not take that much at all. If it forces certain equipment into your hands, or if it's something totally out of left field, then it may take more time.
