It really would be nice if the updates could be announced at least 24 hours in advance. And the update notes could be up when the update starts, if not sooner. Thanks
I mean... they did announce it 23.5 hours in advance: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...nesday-may-16-6-30-am-pt.249285/#post-3665824 Most of the time they post the patch notes the day before too, kind of strange they haven't posted them yet even though they are almost always a copy paste job from the test server notes from the previous week. I agree with the spirit of your post, patch announcements and notes should be more visible and be posted earlier.
It was announced yesterday at 9:58 am in the news and announcement section of the forums. It wasn't 24 hours but was a lot of time to see it. These things always happen on Wednesdays. I usually check on the second or third Wednesday of each month.
The patch of the month usually happens on the third Wednesday of the month. Would you look at that? the 16th is the third Wednesday! =D As for the patch notes, they can be found in the Test update notes usually ABOUT a week previous to the patch. They got posted on the 8th this month. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...05-08-2018-patch-notes-and-discussion.249174/
When you seem to complain about a GAME, that the people who keep it running, add things, fix things and the rest...you might be addicted. Addiction is not funny but I see it in the forums and in game chat. If you can't find something to do for 6 or so hours except post about not playing...then you are addicted. lol It's funny watch people implode over absolutely NOTHING. Yes, whether or not it says it I AM an All-Access member under my winged helmet, I pay for AA and have not one worry.
As for announcing it on the forums, I guess I am too stupid to think of that. I don't check the forums often. I was referring to the little announcement they make on the patcher. As for notes, the Test notes aren't always the Live notes. Granted, they are usually the same or with little changes, but I prefer to read what is going Live, for sure. Not maybe, if unchanged in a week. As for addiction, I prefer smoking crack. I just get pissy when I know I can't play the game at work today because they are patching it and by the time it comes up, I will actually have to earn my pay. Oh well, there is always tomorrow! Unless the Sun explodes!
