Keep in mind that during the holiday season not much will really be done as a large portion of the Respawn staff will be out to celebrate with their friends and family.
This most likely includes the few weeks before they went on holiday, as they would not be able to fix issues from new patches as they'd be operating at a lower capacity.
The mid-season update is also coming closer and closer, so hopefully they'll have something great lined up for that.
Assuming we're only talking about this season:
They were still rolling out cross progression in November, I suppose they had their hands mostly full with that during that period.
But we had 2 AMA's and they pushed a lot of fixes and changes to existing features.
Whilst a lot of players didn't like it, we had an event, of which a decent chunk liked the perks that were present in the event itself.
For the holidays, I'd at least keep the last 3 weeks of December reserved.
I don't think this period has been bad content-wise, though the mid-season update isn't exactly placed in the middle of the season, hence why it feels like nothing much is happening.
They're still working out some kinks with cross progression as far I'm aware, so this season seems to be keeping them quite busy.
Of course that's no excuse for less content, though my guess is that this season was more planned to properly roll out cross progression and to do some fixes to the game.
With the holidays slicing through the season, I feel like they wouldn't really be able to do much more than this.
In general, a month in itself with all these other factors combined means that there is a smaller chance of a lot of changes happening
Let's just see what the mid-season update will hold for us.
Cross progression was prioritized for around a month as far I'm aware, as they completed the rollout near the end of November.
There are still some issues that are being worked on, but I doubt these are being prioritised.
A lot of the players wanted cross progression as well, so if Respawn decides to release it sometime then they'll have to make sure it releases properly.
This isn't a simple migration/merge, keep in mind that they're dealing with data from millions of players, of which the intention is to not even lose a shred of data that wasn't intended to be lost.
It's easy to chalk it up as just a simple migration/merge, but a lot more than that is happening BTS.
They've been busy with Cross Progression for a month, then we had an event the next month (which was pretty much during the holidays)
I don't think their priority is skewed, I agree that there are plenty of other game breaking bugs that exist within the game, but that doesn't mean these things shouldn't be worked out.
And it's not like they're not working on other bugs either, on their Twitter account it shows that they've been fixing some.
And there definitely have been a lot of other issues they've been working on.
