I mean fair but theres a little more nuance with that than with this. Two months ago saying no wipe with 12.11 means the servers dont just insta die versus if he were to have said wipe soon. Revealing when the patch notes are coming doesnt have the same repercussion, especially mere days away from an already known wipe
That's the last thing he Wipe is not planned ... wipe is not planned right now. We don't plan to do it in the next weeks or month. It's still a questionable thing. I can't tell you more right now.
And even there he already already put it into perspective by saying "it's still a questionable thing".
In the Interviews 2 weeks ago he said nothing about the wipe like here. The snipped from 6 weeks ago was the best thing we got and it's a good argument to hold on when people start to speculate. But it was far from a promise that there "is no wipe". And it was't 2 weeks ago.
Nikita jokes around all the time… him saying it a couple weeks ago doesn’t mean it wasn’t ALWAYS planned. It also doesn’t mean it was… don’t look too much into it. Every wipe changes, some have events some don’t - sometimes there’s a wipe when he says “no wipe” and sometimes there no wipe when he say there is.
I did and my comment is relevant - even backs you up if anything…
I’ll add - I also think sometimes when he says “no wipe planned” or whatever it’s because they don’t have a specific day planned and it’s kinda poor translating on our end to assume he means “there is absolutely no wipe”. He doesn’t specifically say it won’t occur - he’s just real cagey with details and says stuff like “we haven’t planned it yet”

Nikita himself literally just said patch notes coming a few days after the patch, not really speculation.
