Update 6 is going to be HUGE (Over 100 pages patch notes?)

✭✭If you put just one letter on each page then 100 pages is not much...
Or you could use teeny tiny pages... who knows... personally i consulted my very secret but also reliable source at ZOS and i was told that 1.6 patch notes will be more then 312 pages... humm...
Um, that's more than a guide to playing the game would take, seriously, if they just told you how everything worked, it would probably be around the 120 page mark.
I think they might need to rethink how they are doing these notes.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭✭Firstly I hope they provide these notes in a PDF doc or something rather than us wading through a 70 plus page forum post.
Secondly I don't care (mostly) about the other 69.75 pages as long as "fixed that stupid Septima Tharn quest that crashes the game" is in there somewhere.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

✭✭Someone has said they are probably going to be 300+ pages.
Edit~ someone has said they have an unofficial source in ZOS, who has said 300+ pages, no official coment
You could probably just write a guide that tells you how to do everything for about 120 pages.
And God alone knows how huge the patch will be, hopefully someone will have the bright idea to split it up a bit.Edited by AlexDougherty on January 19, 2015 3:53PMPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭✭Don't worry. During the weeks and months it will take us to download this patch we can spend the time reading all those patch notes
I do feel for people on sucky or somehow limited net connections though. I get the feeling this will be a proper nightmare for quite a few players.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

Lucky you, only taking you a few months to download the patch, I think it will take me several decades, based on the size of the patch notes.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭✭Another thing for them to think about is that everyone is going to be trying to download this patch at once. They need to have enough capacity for everyone to download it without their systems causing slowdowns or crashing into smouldering piles of metal.
I think I left my PC overnight when I first downloaded the game. Given the influx of new players over xmas then even players with good net connections will suffer if ZOS don't have sufficient download capacity at their end.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

Actually not sure at this time how large the patch will be, but we'll try to find out and include it in the notes so you have a heads up.AlexDougherty wrote: »ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »This thread is fun to read.

Also, the notes themselves are at 63 pages (~23k words) but we're continuing to work on them today. They're not 312 pages, wherever that number came from.Edited by ZOS_GinaBruno on January 19, 2015 6:33PM4 -

Wait I thought you said on live that you had hit 64 pages then the program/engineer guy said they only had 40 more pages of changes for you to deal with? So putting on my sleuth hat was that 40 pages of revisions that you had to implement into the patch notes already completed? At least they seem to be shrinking instead of growing so I am hoping this week sometime?!0 -
ashlee17✭✭✭✭I have to say that I love the game. been playing since launch and enjoy watching it grow just hope the add some new guild management tools in the patch notes

Well he got a rise out of me as I thought "Oh #$$%! This is going to take forever!" And all I have to do is wait and play a functional game, no additional work for me. I would be plotting revenge for sure ;-)!0 -

Thanks for the update!
So is the fact that you're working on the patch notes mean that we'll be getting Update 6 soon to PTS?
