I had never watched for the patch notes to appear for an update before, generally because I'm working all sunday night, until 7am Monday am EDT, when maintenance is almost over, but I was wondering when the patch notes do normally get posted. Are they posted when the servers come down at 4am, or is there some time lapse before they're available?

    After maintenance is done, which for major updates could easily be 12 hours after maintenance starts.

    Don't hold your breath for Morrowind, you will suffocate before the servers are up again.

    hmmm...I had thought that in the past, patch notes sometimes got posted sometime during the maintenance, but i could easily be mis-remembering...I do recall, however, others asking ZOS during maintenance, where the patch notes were, so maybe I got the impression from that, that the notes were expected before maintenance ended...anyway, I have some plans to keep me busy anyway...and unfortunately, they include a bucket a mop and a bottle of lysol <g>...small amount of overdue cleaning...

    When they are done.

    And.. they have NEVER done an expansion, so delete any expectations related to a DLC.

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    It has sometimes happened that the Patch Notes drop slightly before.

    "Where are the Natch Potes!`" is a staple ESO forum meme, those threads start well before maintenance is over.

    Thanks to all. So I was remembering or misremembering Patch Notes, and not Natch Potes. What I'm hearing here, then, is any time they have dropped slightly before, it's been the exception instead of the rule. So I'll just need to be patient then.

    Patch notes become available about the same time the patch is available to DL. Often at least half way through maintenance.

    There is not rule to it, just my observation. Maintenance is scheduled to end at 10 AM EDT, but patch maintenance has been known to go well beyond any expectations and last much of the day.

    good thing that this "expansion" has about the same amount of content as a dlc
