I heard the long Christmas break was the perfect time to roll out 4* Iron Patriot with a similar top 50 reward format, just on a 7.5 day PvE heroic.

I'm talking about functionality, such as changes to MMR, or sharding, or multiple ending times for events, or the AI difficulty, or perhaps even the complete reworking of a character. The kind of stuff that hasn't always worked perfectly first time, and you wouldn't want to have implemented on Friday afternoon just before everyone heads off the weekend, let alone just before Christmas when everyone heads off for 2 weeks leaving perhaps only a skeleton staff on call.
Q: Could you share with us some info on the new Story mode or the new game mode? There's no need to tell us the expected date, but sharing some info will get us excited. Maybe like telling us the new antagonist (Apocalypse, Sentinel, etc.)? A: Just a couple hints on the new Event and game mode rolling out in December: 1. You’ve seen one of the antagonists in the game already. 2. There’s a new minion group, with Red and Black abilities. 3. There are a lot of them.
