New builds
I actually don’t think the time would be nearly as much of an issue if there was:
a) More than 3 minutes notice in advance of a new build in the open world
b) No system that insta-logs you to update immediately upon zone change
Considering new builds reset all temple progress it is extremely frustrating to lose all that progress just because you happen to be in a different zone than, say, the Temple of Balthazar, at the time the build notice pops up.
The 3 minute notice is kitten STUPID. There is no other way to put it. We know that they know hours in advance that there is going to be an update. Even if they can’t give a precise time, they could start posting ‘There will be an update sometime in the next several hours’ and post that every 30 minutes and then update it with an actual time when they knew what it was. Their current policy shows a blatant disregard for the time of the player.
The fact that this has been mentioned multiple times proves that they don’t care.
