Due to the enormous patch size we’re breaking this up into a few patches. These major content additions will be implemented approximately two weeks after the reset. Some pieces of these additions may be included at the reset, and locked until the two week patch. The reasoning behind it is that these new additions may not have been fully tested prior to the reset, and we don’t want broken additions added to the universe.
