In order to diagnose the cause of the current issues, some networking protocols have been rolled back to function the way they did prior to Title Update 3.

　is available has been extended
Many players have been unable to enjoy Kulve Taroth's siege quest, "Banquet in the Earthen Hall" as a result of these issues.
In response, we are extending its availability by an additional week, until 11:59 p.m. UTC on Thursday, Nov 22.
