Might I suggest taking a leaf from the Montgomery Scott school of engineering. If you think something will take 2 weeks to accomplish, tell everyone it'll take 3. That way you give yourself some leeway and should you deliver before the expected time it can help build a reputation as miracle workers. ;)

    Indeed.
    Cryptic currently do the reverse, thus earning themselves a reputation as treacle workers.

    Actually, that's what they did. The calendar has another week allotted to them for getting Season 1 finished. This was of course added later, as it originally only had 2 weeks. But technically, today is the last day of the second week so the patch is on time.

    Mind you the calender was a last minute addition, and up until then they had called it the 45 day patch.
    Meaning that the patch is already a week late.

    Yeah, they did originally call it the 45 day patch. However, the devs had said on many occasions that 45 days was the tentative release date and that it was subject to change. The calendar has been up for a few weeks so most knew that the release date had changed.

    This is very sound advice. You are a very wise sentient.

    Great Miracle Worker plan but this is CP and I'm surprised they know how to get out of bed in the morning lol.
