I know. They said quite some time ago they’d be getting away from that confusing terminology, but instead seemed to have doubled down on it. Those of us who are forum regulars and know what’s what and what days to expect it know, but the more casual forum visitors are just left confused. And rightfully so too.
Right now, update = patch = devblog = sim update = world update. They’re all used pretty interchangeably in official communication. There needs to be a clear delineation between these things:
- Sim Update
- World Update
- Hotfix / Patch
- Devblog
- Road Map
Done. And they need to stick to the nomenclature.
