It's not even that it's "time locked" you just have to wait a week or whatever the time may be to do certain things. Take the gunsmith for example on armsday. It really kind of is more content since we knew very little on how to get it. I'm sure there are plenty of things that haven't been shown to light. It's so you don't run out of things to do and look forward to doing something and not finish everything in 10 hours of playing non stop.
