Just to save you some sanity, it will be at least a couple more hours until we publish the patch notes.

Why do you have this backwards and horrible way about giving us patch notes? Why not put them up the day (or days) before in advance?

Well for one, they were still being finalized today...

I hope you mean 'today' in Europe

I don't think so...

Think of her more a type of quality control, in a way that is.

Once upon a time I'm sure it was mentioned Gina gets them in "dev speak" and translates them to "layman terms" for us.

Agreed, quality control then, inform the customer in a way that they can understand.

So I'm guessing these notes are coming out tomorrow lol

I don't know why this seems to be the case the world over but coders can spend weeks of sleepless nights crafting the most intricate solutions to create functionality but then can't be arsed to document what they did in human sentences - or even sometimes just notes for themselves. It's bizarre. I imagine with a video game it's much more necessary to document "what did we actually get around to and accomplish that the designers asked for?"

Mrs Bruno is probably trapped in a dungeon chained to a laptop with a clown in the corner cracking the natch potes whip . There's no "staff" .

Well with technology it could be possible, but another set of eyes is recommended to go over a document/notes before submitting/publishing in my opinion, as the human mind is simply not ready to accept it's own mistake.

The_Protagonist

But then again it could be the clown that would review it for her.

Sleep, there is no sleep in elite gaming. You need to mountain dew up and put the hustle on that concentration.

They're probably not human.

Seriously, though. I'm pretty sure they do leave notes for themselves inside the code in the form of comments.

The waiting is giving me anxiety. Someone help.

Really? But Harry Potter & the Deathly Patch Notes was soo good!

As harry sat quietly in snapes potions classroom refreshing his phone every few minutes for patch notes "Mr. Potter what ingredient is needed to create a potion of balance" snape said
Harry finally knowing the answer looked him dead in the eye and said "netch farts"

So good!

That will be fine, Gina could tell us if in 2 hours will be ready or we could go sleep.

You said it be a couple of hours... I'd like to pretend to work now, instead of work.

Or quote something with her tagged in it. That warrants a pop up to.

Say no to pop ups!

I imagine formatting is annoying as it's all in pretty bullet lists.

Legitimate question to the community (all except @patchnoteformatter), will we be able to begin the PTS update before or after patch notes release?

How true this is. I work with a developer who might spend two weeks working on something but cannot remember the changes he made yesterday - good luck on getting any documentation!

So you can read and update at the same time

The_Protagonist

If she's formating it herself, then I was wrong in thinking that there is staff, pity the dungeon and clown are real.

technohic

Well; I have to go and will do some physical activity to where I can't even check my phone for more than a quick look at a text or email so

USUALLY the launcher starts updating before you can actually get in, and RIGHT BEFORE the server goes up we get patch notes.

There has been occurrences where Gina let her fingers slip and we got the notes quite a bit ahead of time (I believe it was like 20-30 minutes), but that's not usually how it goes.
