I'm going with "something else". They put a patch on training room recently to fix a problem with the panther stealth power...

Panther Stealth Power Fixed an issue where changing your active build while the Panther Travel power is active would cause a crash which could result in your character becoming inaccessible. |
Edit: Besides, they haven't told us what day they are cycling out the Celestial costume set and they said they'd let us know when they had an idea when exactly it would happen...
A 4.5 hour patch to fix the Panther Stealth power?!
I think it's still possible that they can launch I23 and not immediately cycle out the Celestial set, but a Thursday Issue publish does seem highly unlikely.

based on what i know, the mecha armor is supposed to come out with i23, which will replace the celestial armor, so when we have a release date for i23 then we will know when celestial is being pulled

Yeah I'm hoping I23. I've been getting antsy for the new shinies.

Maintenance, bug fixes and preload of ready-to-go assets?
plus imo that would be crazy to launch i23 right before the weekend.

Maybe for the special stuff going on sale this weekend? Z made it sound pretty big. But hopefully its not too crazy since I dont have points at the moment.
I will say randomly that I stopped playing another game that likes to put cool items up for sale for a matter of days and than remove their availability after that forever. Rather annoying when things would go on sale between my pay weeks. Hopefully this game never does that.
Well cut my legs and cull me shorty! I thought Zwillabalooo said there was not going to be any I23 until the end of May? What the deuce!?

@Demobot
Also on Steam
Might just be prepping the servers in advance, since the event, I23, and all sorts of new powersets and stuff are on the horizon. Do a little work now so there'll be less to do once they start launching stuff.
While i really hope it is issue 23, if it is issue 23 then i hope they have fixed the new personal story as when i played it yesterday it was still broke!

Thursdays is the normal maintenance day. We are coming up on a 3 day weekend. Zwill stated point blank no I23 in May. So... Safe to say no I23 today.
My guess is prep for I23 and summer event along with some bug fixes.
Something witty and profound

I hope its not i23. Too be honest, i22 was only a while ago. I think its way too early to be expecting a new issue just yet.

That's disappointing. So I guess this is a 4.5 hour bug fix patch. |

If its not issue 23, i really wish they would state on downtimes for this kind of time that its not an issue release

Edit: Just saw the size of it, yeah kinda not big enough for an issue

Same as the one on Test. So it's the Panther bug fix.|

Yeah, I see why that one might take a while, actually. The Panther bug could make characters inaccessible. I'm sure there are worse categories of bugs, but I'd imagine this one is very high priority since it corrupts player characters. I'd imagine only emergency security fixes and issues that can take down the server are higher.
So I would not be surprised if this update is both a client patch for us, and a script of some kind run on the character database to do whatever magic is needed to make affected characters accessible again. So, four and a half hours seems pretty reasonable to me. When running scripts on the character database, you really, really want to make absolutely sure that you have a proper backup, that the script has enough time to run, and that it did what it needed to, and ONLY what it needed to.
If I'm right, then doing this is just four and a half hours is actually kind of impressive.

What could it be?
I23?

Something else?
