So, does this mean Spring Fling is, in fact, Live? Or does it mean a redacting is coming?

It probably means those bugs were fixed preemptively.

We have Spring Fling patch notes on the live servers, but no date for when Spring Fling begins? Odd.

Kill the enemy. Take their souls. Drink their blood.

The past SpringFlings opening dates(according to wiki)...

Feb 8, 2006
Feb 13, 2007
Feb 14, 2008
Feb 9, 2009
Feb 9, 2010
Feb 10, 2011

So I wouldn't expect anything just yet.... though, my money is on the 10th.

It appears that the Spring Fling is live, but not active until they flip a switch.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

That portion of the notes has subsequently been removed...

Either way, thumbs up for pre-emptive fixes rather than letting the event go live...only to take down the servers a day or so later to apply the fixes.

Spring fling will actually be live on 2/8/2012. We'll have a post up today or tomorrow with the details, and closer to the 8th we'll have our normal event page.

While I'm sure this wouldn't be a pleasant bug to experiance, this patch note did make me laugh hard enough to almost fall out of my chair.

What about Build Up on Titan Weapons rooting the player during the animation if the weapon isn't already drawn?
