Can We Start Getting Accurate Patch Notes?

This irks me a lot. Every patch there are a ton of changes that are undocumented making it almost impossible to keep up with changes.

For example, in the last year refreshing path has had about 6 different versions on live with no patch note.

We had:
- it procs Transmutation and it doesn’t proc transmutation
- major expedition lasts only on the path to lingers for 4 seconds
- The hot is only on the path to it lingers as long as major expedition, back to only on the path
- Major expedition refreshes every second to every .8 or so seconds

Here’s another example, in the first PTS patch Cleanse was cut and in half from 10% base per effect to 5% base per effect. I logged onto PTS and fully buffed I checked and got a 7% heal per effect with healing modifiers, so it checked out as it being halved from live where it’s 14% per effect on my build.

I logged on PTS today to check out some options and found % healing modifiers aren’t effecting the tooltip value.

The problem is I have no idea if this is a bug or intended. Halving the potency was in the PTS patch notes, removing healing % modifer scaling was not so instead of it being half as powerful it’s now a third as powerful in my build. Intended? No idea, is this a bug?

    Bumpity bump bump just to make sure it’s on the front page once while the devs are working.

    The think is these could easily be unintended changes and just a side effect of other changes. You would be surprised how often that happens... or maybe you wouldn’t XD

    Maybe. The refreshing path changes looked to me like someone was working on it to improve it back to how it was supposed to work, so like a bug fix rather than a change. In some ways it’s a lot better because now if you run in a straight line casting it the major expedition will refresh before running off the end, though the hot lingering made it a ton better.

    Cleanse I’m not sure. It’s been really OP on live for a bit so maybe they want to bring the nerf hammer down because it was never intended to be the best pvp heal in the game, who knows.

    I'd be willing to bet that these "undocumented changes" are as much of a surprise to ZOS as they are to you, or anyone else for that matter.

    So true. Dude, half of this game is an unwanted consequence, get real. Asking for detailed patch notes is such a rookie move.
