Any word on what is going on w/ release of the next WE being REALLY late now? Understaffing @ S8 resulting in delays?

The next DT SHOULD be released Fri 3/3... BUT the last few WE had the final Milestone dragon being needed for a Questing Advantage in DT's. Guess there is a chance that the final Milestone dragon for this current LB [SCANDINAVIAN, SR (blue, yellow, red) 18h] will be designated for Questing... Or that w/ the next WE being REALLY LATE, it will push back the release of the next DT by a week or 2.

I don't mind a slowing of the pace of new Events. I DO RESENT S8 upsetting there heretofore established patterns of release dates on Tue's & Fri's w/ out Posting announcements to warn players so they can be prepared. It further reduced my beleaguered respect for S8 administration when they adverted the release of this current LB on a Friday, didn't release it, apologized saying the announcement was wrong, THEN releasing it the NEXT DAY w/ out warning! Messes folks (such as myself) up who had their strategy in place. I prepared for the late WE by arranging to have my Breeding Den, Nests, & Evolution Temples ready to be collected @ about 10:30 AM PST today. I also delayed sending an ISLAND on a Map Quest because the WE's now usually have Questing for Points.

This delay is putting me behind in my LB Ranking because there is a chance S8 is just running late in releasing this next WE.

Can we no longer trust S8 to release new Events @ 10:30 AM PST on Tue's & Fri's? Or will they work out understaffing issues & return to expected patterns? Again, I would NOT be so annoyed IF S8 was honorable & respectable enough to Post notices so we players can plan accordingly...
