    Before I start being upset/depressed/confused again with the inevitable changes (or pleased...it could happen), just a quick thanks to the ZOS team for doing this stream.
    I know it's probably not feasible every time there are changes, or every PTS week, but I think it's a great addition communicating the goal of the cycle at the start.

    Hmm, waiting for the last minute to post the patch notes doesn't sound good.

    Half an hour (or less) seems very little time to absorb huge amounts of patch notes before the stream :(

    Well being that I have a phone a laptop a PC as well as the console I think I could read on one and watch on the other at the same time without too much of a hassle

    Great! So you are either a multi-tasking genius, a split-brain patient, or somebody who likes to listen and join discussions without having a decent understanding of the subject. Congratulations!

    And to think I defended you...

    I didn't invest in two different things if I couldn't use them all at the same time so yeah I can multitask pretty well

    hope changes will be adequate.
    Scalebreaker changes are awful af (and most ugly was how Zenimax team ignored our feedbacks from all weeks of PTS before it to get as a result this "the elder templars online" currently at Live)

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Please, separate combat fixes/changes from releasing of new DLCs in a future.
    We tired to wait many month to get a fix of cosmic mistakes u've done at previous dlc.
    New content is new content.
    Combat changes are a combat changes.
    We need small steps politics.


    @ZOS_BrianWheeler when the hell u will separate premade groups from randomly created groups in Battlegrounds????????????????????? ...more than 3 years gone...

    You used "we" in your reply, I would just like to state you DO NOT speak for me.

    I've never really understood why the patch notes are always "last minute". Perhaps ZOS should take a 'time management' course.

    I mean, this is the first time they are doing a stream with the notes. There are bound to be "hiccups" with this. Something probably came up and the notes are only perceived as last minute because this is a new thing. If the stream wasn't going to happen, then the notes would have been "on time".

    You need a stream to drop patch notes? This doesn’t bode well. 😱

    They have sworn it's only a way of communicating and nothing too terribly bad. Well, everything will be "nerfed!" and "OMG" like normal, but it's not like they are going to switch to random generation for who wins a fight and start selling player death sets in the crown store. It's just normal ruination of the game here.
    Now let's dig on the Dirt Mound... (never gonna get it, never gonna get it, NEEEEver gonna get it, never gonna it)

    My wish list: Nerf siege against players. Buffs to all classes to be up to par with templar. Bring a burst meta instead of dots and aoes. And lastly; make necro worth playing.

    Patch notes are always last minute. I understand ZOS not wanting publish a week in advance, but the day before should be the rule.

    If something is truly game changing (like removing forward camps) that part can be held back until launch.

    Part of communication is not only communicating but being timely with that communication.

    Yes, Live Patch Notes should be posted well ahead of the actual live patch. This is PTS notes though. This is a chance for players to try it in the PTS before it hits live. These notes don't really effect people, until the live version hits and we've had several iterations of this and clearly know what is coming if you pay any attention to these notes.

    It's to minimize the amount of angry threads they get. They're hoping an explanation to go along with the notes will make some of their decisions clearer.

    And interpreted my post correctly. He was just being a smart***, so I decided to respond in kind ... so he understands.
    Sorry if that made you feel bad.

    So they skipped all the parts about the nerfs? Did they ever come back to that, or just pat themselves on the back for the few non-nerf changes?
