To save everybody some time from creating a 40 page thread that is mostly ignored?
I don't ever ignore those threads or pages. I read everything and peoples' opinions. Usually bigger updates are important, Cordovan stated bug fixes and adjustments to the event, so surprised to see that in a big update number instead of the subsequent U76.1

..umm usually Update #XX without periods are bigger patch notes.. how come we aren't seeing this on Lamannia?
We don't see everything on Lammania. During the Illithid Invasion event, there was no preview of the quests prior to them appearing after we found the required # of Illithids. This is just my speculation, but I think we might be seeing some new quests coinciding with the Fey event as there are 3 inactive portals in the Hut from Beyond.

We will see, and you are correct that not everything does appear on Lamannia but a fairly good chunk of every update does make it to lamannia, smaller notes that are like 67.1 or 64.0.1 aren't going to appear on Lamannia but the last "XX" update that wasn't previewed on Lammannia was Update 65.

Update 77? Ooh, spicy, and so soon after Update 76 too. Color me intrigued!

Here's hoping the presents part includes a revamped store

U77 is similar to other "December updates" of the past in that it will include a free dungeon, Festivult updates, and general bug fixes and improvements, this time focused on some adjustments to the Symphony of the Fey event.
Can you post the release notes, please?

Does this include removing all the players who didnt actually start the event on first life level 1 characters being removed from the hardcore leaderboards?
