In an effort to better streamline our live service operations of MPQ with our IP2 team, who are on Melbourne, Australia time, there will be some changes to the schedule beginning with the upcoming Season.

  1. Seasons and Character releases are being brought forward 1 day
  2. i.e. From Thursday US to Wednesday US
  3. There will be no changes to the length of the Season
  4. Seasons and Character releases will occur at 00:00UTC (roughly 7 hours later than they have up to now), other event times will remain unchanged
  5. Events that form part of the regular event cadence other than the regular weekly/bi-weekly rotating events (e.g. DDQs, Lightning Rounds etc) will also be brought forward 1 day so they continue to fit neatly with the Season timing

Therefore, the upcoming Season and the next 5-Star Character will release:

  • Thursday 5th February 00:00UTC

The first event for the next 5-Star character will start:

  • Wednesday 4th February 12:00UTC

These changes allow the IP2 team more time during their working week to resolve issues and monitor the releases, but moving forward, we otherwise intend to keep your events routine as consistent as possible.

Thank you for bearing with these changes everyone!
