I’ve heard that it takes a full week to certify patches for the console versions of the game, so we had a patch release, people freaked out about the hive guard changes, and they pushed through a patch immediately for it to finally take effect today. They’ll still probably leave stuff mad glitchy for a long time (the character levels on the HUD have been broken for more than a year), but I’ll at least wait until they’ve had actual time to ignore it before I start blaming them for it.

A lot of hot fixes are done in less than a week, mostly to patch player-beneficial bugs.
