First off Xbox notes came at a different date, so those that read the original release wouldn't know to go back and see that different versions of the games get different experiences (alone a WTF moment?)

This entire conversation is wholly the fault of three separate patch notes and timed releases of the updates.

I speak only for myself, but to say this is a "WTF moment" disregards some important elements.

First: Consoles don't have a PTS, which means our changes are only seen through the PTS notes and PC Patch Notes.

Second: When our notes are released, they're the day of the update, giving us literally zero time to see what's coming to our game.

Third: There are no announcements, messages, or indications given to console owners of expected changes before the notes.

This becomes important because both the XBox and PS lost HDR. None of this was mentioned by ZoS, and even though Gina apologized for not including it in the patch notes, we had no notification this change was implemented on console. Side note: this still isn't mentioned in the patch notes.

PC notes didn't have anything to do with HDR because the graphics settings on PC are far superior than they are on console.

So yes, the "WTF moment" exists, but it sure isn't on the console audience.

It goes to this ridiculous methodology of timed releases between platforms, and three different patch notes, and lack of communication of an update not mentioned in the notes.

The "expectation" of a reduced skill point change was the result of this communication method.

I should point out this isn't the first time it's happened.

Perhaps it's time to change it?
