Just because something has the " Done ✓" status on it doesn't mean it's complete and never to be touched again it will still need extensive testing
-It's also subjective to change if it needs improvement or it isn't behaving as expected
A lot of stuff mentioned will need merging and merge testing which can take some time
(not all merges go according to plan and i like to do everything as much error free as i can)
*Quest and new land mass are considered WIP until the pack launch
