    well it's easy to understand the pandemic has them working from their homes and the coding takes a while plus with it being 8 hours of downtime gives them the chance to reduce any problems that might happen on day 1 also they are adding survival mode and st. patrick's event so 2 contents is gonna take time to get them put in and working on PC, PS4, Xbox 1 and Nintendo Switch so in the end their are different variables that keeps it from being done in just 5 minutes if your not able to understand why then you just have no patience and need to sit there and actually research all the variables that can and will pop up

    Might I direct you to this line from the patch notes section concerning the pet damage update.

    So there isn't anything in sm that can improve your stats or give you a more powerful version of something (when used elsewhere).

    However, you can work on your cooperation/coordination with your team, your situational awareness, and your ability to respond quickly to attacks and environmental damage (like the bombs in the ground from ultimate soldier last time). These are less "tangible" improvements and don't always translate well to other groups/content. So while you learn some things to look for in future content, it's also possible that someone only learns how to deal with these specific versions of these bosses.

    For GAME UPDATE downtimes:
    • About 30 minutes to shut the worlds down.
    • 1-2 hours to deploy the new client, server, and data. This can go longer if CDNs/the download itself is slow to become available.
    • About 30 minutes to bring the worlds up.
    • 30 minutes to an hour for QA to smoketest the worlds to make sure the update is there as expected.
    The rest of the built in downtime is a safety margin since people seem to strongly prefer overestimation vs. estimation, and allows to make a data change if a problem is found, then rebuild, redeploy, and retest before the window is up.

    For now, at least. There are plans for a pet tier system in the future, and SM pets are to be made higher tier than everything else, a bad idea if we don't get something like a pet that drops from elite to be in the same tier.

    Yes Downtimes Given can seem excessive However Id Rather the Devs get it Right than have to pull it all back Down and cause further Delays.
    Keep up the Great Work in these Trying Times Devs. ;)

    All worlds are now online with GU111 (4 hours of downtime).
