When Lost Ark launched in the west, we launched on a patch that released in KR 18 months before.
When Valtan released in the west, Valtan released in KR 16 months before.
When Clown released in the west, Clown released in KR 17 months before.
When Brelshaza released in the west, Brelshaza released in KR 17 months before.
When Brelshaza Hard will release in the west, Brelshaza hard will have been released in KR 19 months before.
We don’t seem like we will ever catch up or get closer than ~18 months behind KR at this rate.
So much for catching up and being 3-4 months behind. Catching up looks like a lie.
The only issue with faster release schedules is catching up ilv and legion raid mats, which could easily be done if we were just given accelerated honing/more mats to get us there, but they will not do this because they want to milk the $ people spend to progress in this game.
Such a shame.
