COMPLETE Future notes will just be directly linked to within the forum. I will not continue to post them here, hence the count-down and not a count-up through the notes. Feel free to comment. My next steps are to re-link the first page to each of these entries. I may take my time over the weekend for that.
Damn Sore, never realized you had THAT much coming over lol No wonder you hoped they brought the patch notes with em.
GU24 Final Link added. Formatting cleaned up from copy-paste. I plan on getting to re-linking to old patch notes from within this thread instead of linking to the old forums. I assume I have until the old forums shut down to get that done.
