Just a shout out to ZOS.
I am going to let you in on a secret that most software engineering organizations already know . . .
NEVER RELEASE NEW SOFTWARE PRIOR TO PRIME APPLICATION USAGE
Translation
Do not break the game with your patches the day before half your player base has a national holiday. You are not good enough to deliver quality updates and as such should avoid creating opportunity for your player base to be frustrated. Perceived time pressure to release is just that . . . perceived. The old adage of "What problem am i trying to solve?" has a corollary which states "What problems are we trying to avoid?"
Embrace this as a learning opportunity and get some therapy to deal with your hubris problem.
