maps and item tiers are tied to the specific challenge, and this one is meant to be on the more difficult side (given the challenge is that you only get one of each item)

If you have a problem with it... then pass on it. You'd probably make as much cash playing normally instead of trying to power through a weekly you'll be frustrated playing.

Hotfixes aren't really updates though, they're fixing something that an update broke or didn't handle correctly...so not so much the same thing in context here. In a perfect world they wouldn't be needed at all and you'd only have updates and bug fixes.

although hotfixes arent major and as a computer hardware engineer we use hotfixes and also call them a "QFE update" also known as "quick fix engineering update" they are the same thing but different words.
Either way hotfix,patch or update are terms used in different scenarios, they all result in it being some form of update. Hotfixes are meant to be immediate problems that have to be resolved soon and it is updating the code therefore updating the product.

A hotfix is an update. They are updating the code to fix bugs and issues that surfaced after another update.

Anything that releases updated code to us regardless of the amount of content is an update. And no amount of complaining and/or player entitlement will change that.

It’s honestly silly how hard non-developers try to gatekeep terminology while lacking any understanding of what the terms actually mean.

Yeah but it's all semantics. When players talk about wanting updates they mean bug fixes and content, not usually hotfixes, which is why I said context was important. They don't mean "any update" they mean "specific" updates they just don't say that.

When they're looking to see if a project is still active they don't discriminate as much and look to see if there's any updates period. So it's not entitlement it's more end goal for the person looking. For developers we see all of these as updates because they are.

Also don't assume I'm not a game dev, I am studying a Bachelor of Game Development and Programming right now and have built multiple games. I'm not trying to gatekeep anything I'm just trying to explain that for players they see it differently and that's ok.

either way what i said was correct the game has put out 5 updates this year there is no false about it. It does not matter how much content that was added,removed or fixed they are still updates

"hotfixes arent really updates though" either way the conversation is over too long of something unrelated to post and will probably get removed anyway

I was joining in the conversation you guys were having about the updates. It feels like it's been a long time since we had one that I got excited about. I was excited for this one but the ending wasn't as satisfying as previous events.

Dont matter. If an update isnt major, dont call it major. The last major update litterally came from last august. The shop overhaul wasnt major. Just a different UI.
