first of all:
(i don't thing there is that much room left behind those "scenes")

but leaves me to wonder
we had 3 already but where is the need to say it all mysterious like?
why cant they just go straight to the point or at least explain its nothing that important.

or at least tell us its a surprise that will make everyone happy!

what do you guys think?

last time this happened it was just preparation for the horse promo. So it's probably the same thing this time.
But you're right, I don't know why they can't just say it, they've done it before.

well..

another thing i have noticed is that they always release one of these "behind the scenes" changes around the time they same they will have to "delay" the anticipated updates and that leaves two things:

1- they really are having some hard times with these new updates but the want them to be perfect and maybe fix some stuff

or

2-or they are lazy and just throw us random updates and events to delay the updates even more

just a thought..

or maybe adding minor things for upcoming events/promos - things that we don't see yet, but will activate in the near future?

It's probably smoother to just 'activate' a thing that already exists from being downloaded earlier than it is to announce 'HEY THIS NEW PREMIUM THING' and have a ton of people downloading huge patches all at the same time lol... Like an item for an upcoming event.

That's my guess on it, anyway.

I'm so funny I should be a forum clown or something..

It should nevertheless be discussed (or announced for that matter) because we gots nothing better to do anyway..

You guys want updates? Check out these behind these scenes changes!

Then when I clicked it and saw the notes, I felt like this

Personally, I was all 'oh great, a new update, I have to spend a half hour updating' rather than speculative. But I am rather curious now.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

If you look at the Valentines contest that's running right now, it mentions a secret prize. Also, that was posted at the same time as the update. I am guessing that the behind the scenes update was adding that prize into the game...

GEE I WONDER WHAT HOLIDAY IT WILL BE RELATED TO! (huhuhnudgenudge)

my 2 cents

Why all the secrecy all of the sudden? Is it because Nick left? I don't understand...

1 behind the scene changes... mmmkay... 2 behind the scene changes... hmmmm and now a 3rd one? WTF? Why no information? I just don't get it... AT ALL... Look there is valentine day coming up, it's SOOOO **** easy to just cover up with a bunch of sissy kissy gouchi gouchy thingy.

I'm like 50 yards behind the 2nd base of a baseball field playing Soccer. WTF IS GOING ON? o.O

honestly when i opened it i just felt like they said
"HEY, WE DID A THING"
my response of course would be "what did you do"

Shamanalah uses Quit & Change Game!
It's super-effective!

And now I just lurk the forums to see what OOO does... Nick left and some people in-game doesn't even know it. That's hilarious to me.

Edit: Also I should buy the new gen of Pokemon. I'm a 90's kid stuck in the Blue/Gold gen XD

Edit2: @Qwao the point I wanna get accross is that when you make an update you should add content so people don't question for answer they shouldn't even be asking in the first place. It's just nonesense to make a patch and say "we changed stuff'.

Check Loadout first Dev Stream after Launch. They talk about Cryo which isn't going to be in-game for the next months like it's no big deal, show skins that you won't see but will be added to the game. The way they handle things is so awesome and I wonder how SK could look like with a different way of thinking...

Point is: When you make an update and add "behind the scene changes" you do changes in-game too so people won't notice. It's just common sense and common patch workaround. Ninja patch are usually.... steathly...?

I personally like to think they really are adding new content- except they aren't made available publicly or in game. Suppose they are preparing for a big patch- but instead of throwing EVERYTHING at you and taking like, 2 hours to update at once, they break it up into little bits and spread them out.

And trust me...
Or if you are that speculative, take a look in the files sometime after such a patch. I HAVE seen new things before.

My guess is that this has something to do with the Black Kat event, since it has been happening in the gamecyber servers for a while now. But they usually announce when an event is happening. Just a theory (a game theory).

Sigh

Every time I see patch notes like these, I get my hopes up thinking the issues I've bug reported (inconsistent arrow key movement, poor choices of lazy loading) have been fixed. Every time, I am disappointed...

@ Trats

Send me a mail in-game and I will look at it. I don't have time to do this sadly (I'm on the forum while reading my cisco course -_-)
