Thank you for the natch potes

@ZOS_GinaBruno

I was watching eso live the other day and it struck me.

I wanted to say thank you for the work you put into the patch notes. I am the type of geek where once someone asked me my favorite thing to read and the first thing I thought of was camera instruction manuals.

You do an amazing job with them. Some might take it for granted but there are many games that release patch notes and leave out so much for information or don't read with clarity and detail.

yeah so I just wanted to say thank you. i read them like its christmas when we get a patch.

Agreed. Good post Nikkor. You are also one strange dude...camera instruction manuals? Come on !

ZOS_GinaBruno · January 2016

Thanks so much! It's actually kind of (dare I say) fun to put them together, and really gives a deep insight into each and every item going into each build. We're knee-deep in Thieves Guild patch notes at the moment which will likely be around 60 pages!

Edit: And thank YOU all for the natch potes threads. Seriously, they're the best part of Monday mornings.

60 pages?? How do you not go mad??

Can't wait to see what the Thieves Guild brings.

Any teasers . . . ?

camera instruction manuals?

Hey, hey now... 1.0

Physical Manuals are becoming a thing of yester-year. If your a retro-game collector, some manuals can go for quite a lot! Especially older strategy guides like Earthbound or Chrono Trigger!

For newer games, your lucky if you even get a physical manual at all...

I'm already hyped... Stop it.

I still have my original Earthbound strategy guide! Remember the huge box it came in? What about the Mach Pizza air freshener?

Sadly so.

But I still have boxed Snes games with inserts like Earthbound and Terranigma and Link Between Worlds and Secret of Mana.

I love physical maps and the such.

Whole reason I bought the big ol wombo edition of ESO. :-)

Tryxus · January 2016

60 pages of Patch Notes?! o.0 Wouldn't it have been easier to just make a whole new game

But srsly, tyvm for all the work you're putting into ESO, and I'm rlly looking forward to the Thieves Guild DLC

KaleidoscopeEyz · January 2016

What's a patch? I haven't seen one of them on Xbox in 2 months. Seriously.

CtrlAltDlt · January 2016

I really really really hope to see the khajiit carnage passive fixed in those notes. Other than that, thank you Gina for your hard work and putting up with this demanding community (pvp). We love your game and want the best for it.

This thread isn't about patch frequency. It's about the awesome patch notes Gina puts together for us!

I have to agree. It is fun to read the patch notes, and the longer they are the better.

Can I get patch notes without a patch?

Each Ultima game came with its own cloth map, a trinket representing an important item from that game, and a manual in the form of a lore book and spellbook. I miss those days...

Never got Earthbound when I was little... =( Such a shame honestly... however

I will be getting this little gem soon

And already have this

So that should make up for it.

LoL, Natch Pote Day is teh bestzor

Haulinash · January 2016

I have an uncle like that Nikkor- He'd get something for Christmas and when he'd open it up, pull out the manual, set the rest of it aside and read it cover to cover before he ever even touched the rest of it....
