Wasn't it supposed to come out like 2 weeks ago?

It's complete and edited. There's been a delay due to a crack in our technical pipes (you can tell I'm profoundly tech-literate), but it's on its way.

So, like, did someone on Narrative piss off the tech people?

Because this keeps happening...

It's not really Narrative pissing off the tech guys, more like Narrative trying to fill an already damaged house with furniture. It likely all stems from tech design decisions made years ago that are coming to bite them in the arse now.

On the bright side, lore events (for the sake of lore events like Burning TIdes and Targon) are able to happen. You know, otherwise veterans of the 2014 Retcon will start having their flashbacks.

Fuck, i was going to post some passive-aggressive answer but you are too diplomatic >.<

I'm a programmer and as much as I part for riot, these delays due to technical issues are really getting on my nerves, i hope it's taking so much to fix them because they are making a complete overhaul of the whole system, otherwise I'd expect a company like riot to be able to fix "technical issues" in one and a half years :(

ps: you do a great job Sharjo, do you collaborate with anyone for lore? Dunno, ff@20 or reignofgaming or something, or even Riot themselves? Anyway, keep it up! :D

You have it pretty much spot on. As was stated a while back by League's lead producers, we've been spending a lot of time and resources taking care of tech debt. And by 'we' I mean anyone at Riot but me as I'd break the whole system with stray ellipses. (I have kinda done that before).

Does this mean the problem is solved now? :)

Would you mind sharing what the problem was about (or maybe some developer can do it for you)? I always find these things interesting!

RiotRiotJaredan2 votes

No it isn't solved completely, unfortunately, but things are moving again and an alternative, smoother process and tech platform to help us push this content to our multitude of regions is being put in place.

That's good news, thanks for sharing! :)

You guys hoping to get it out before the next new champion or before? Just wondering if you wanna let the current lore stuff finish itself up so things are clear or you wanna try and get it out as soon as you can.

RiotRiotJaredan2 votes

As soon as we can. As the main bulk of the Champ is out there for all to see, we won't be treading on any toes as we'll just be completing what is mostly already there. Whenever it is ready, it'll be pushed live. Just like Shen.

Cool, looking forward to it!

Good thinking. Prayer and incense might fix that right up!

Every Friday.

Repeat the prayer of good connection once per day and then baptise the nearest cogitator. For any more technical support please consider consulting your local Mechanicus Church.

Not even the adeptus mechanicus can't even fix it. It's too old.

Nothing is too old in the Imperium.

I hope this tech error isnt the same one with Shurima and we don't see any lore for a year or more.

RiotRiotJaredan2 votes

Nope, not the same one.
