    You know that's as likely as them giving a straightforward answer on the weekends hot topics.

    Sneak peek at the patch notes? It's the holiday season, why not. Here's one:
    • Fixed a typo with the Quick Serpent item set.
    :trollface:

    In all seriousness, we've been working on them for weeks and are still going. We're up to 60 pages!

    Who cares anymore really. As we have seen on previous patches, pts testers will provide a tremendous amount of feedback which will mostly be ignored, and then ZoS will just slide in game changing material without any warning when it goes live like the forward camp removal.

    The patch notes mean nothing until live, and progression means nothing in this game when ZoS feels they have the right to take it from you on a whim.

    That was a cute one to be honest :) Posts like that make you seem more... human. Hope this doesn't sound rude.

    I started to wonder how that post could be construed as pedantic, then remembered that I don't care. B) Oh internet, you really do bring out all kinds of people.

    Glad to see humor from devs and mods. A friendly atmosphere is nice. Merry Fishmas everyone!

    Well first, you need to look up what pedantic means.

    Then, you'll realize that you still don't understand the word, because you don't know what pendant means.

    So you'll look up pendant.

    I am now even more lost than when I first tried to figure out what pedantic was lol... originally I just lied to myself and said I got it... now I'm going to default back to that because my windows don't seem real anymore... I JUST WANT MY WINDOWS BACK /CRY

    Please tell me you at least start with a query from your source management tool? Either way, we're lucky if you're the one making them human readable.

    Hey! Not only are you being pedantic yourself, but also pompous, patronizing and pretentious. You get today's alliterative behavior trophy!

    Good job! Now ego stroking should be even easier for you :smiley:

    It's Fishmas morning, folks! Let's all give thanks to and for our tasty friends.

    Geez. Hope the forum revamp gets here before that patch notes release on PTS. It will suck up all three columns for Eng/Ge/Fr and we will never see another dev tracker item.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Wow!
    I think I found the reason why ZOS is so bad when it comes to patching. They evalute their patches by the number of pages!!!
    Why not by the number of characters it is required to describe fixes. Imagine how big such a number would be and how impressed their bosses would be.
    There's a chance in getting a raise, @Gina!

    She is probably not working, they probably read some stuff in their non working hours too. They do actually appear to be passionate about the game, so that would not be unheard of.

    They probably read a lot of stuff on here and have to bite their tongues and not get involved, even though every fibre of their being is screaming the opposite.

    "Falling for"? How does one "fall for" an estimate on the size of a volume of text?
    If an author tells you the next book in their popular series is currently up to 300 pages, are they trying to deceive you?

    It's nothing more than an estimate to the volume of the patch notes, which has SOME correlation to the number of changes. nothing more, nothing less.

    As for the forward camp thing, mistakes happen, I've seen patch notes updated after posting in almost every MMO I have ever played.

    Some people seem to get so angry over the most minor things.

    Nope. They had to cut down all the tree's to make the paper to write the patch notes on. Hehe

    @ZOS_GinaBruno any idea when we are likely to get them. I have a 4 hour train journey on the 6th Jan, so they would keep me from being too bored :)

    Yeah I enjoy reading the patch notes because it hypes me up when I see the new fixes and things coming to the game. Plus It takes me forever to download each update. So I need something to do while waiting on them.

    Wow, this patch should be really good, then. Will it also contain any meaning, like fixes, new stuff without bugs, ... ?
