Patch notes contain 6600 words

This sounds like a pretty big patch, I hope that they’ve been listening. Trying not to get too excited. :beers:

Only 6600 words awww man i was hoping they’d keep their theme of the 666 going on! quick devs add 60 more words!

When will they release patch notes?
I can’t see them

Last patch was couple thousand words aswell. With tons of 5-10% basic attack buffs and bug fixes.

they were talking about 13 pages last time and i couldnt find 13 pages worth.

smart going with words this time around :slight_smile:

They said on twitter (I know horrible place to actually communicate) that the patch goes live at 10AM PDT so the notes would have to be bound anytime now. In the past when they have delayed releasing the notes for this long the patch usually contains tons of nerfs, at least that’s how it was with D3 if it was a large nerf patch they delayed releasing the patch for as long as humanly possible

I mean Patch notes could be:

Patch notes: all classes nerfed into oblivion, lelelelelelelelelelelelelelelel x6000 more times

They had to save actual fixes for S1 to inflate player engagement metrics

A majority of those 6600 words will be things like:

Developer’s Note: We’re continuing our efforts to make all Class builds feel fun and powerful with another round of balance updates. In particular, we have seen community feedback stating that Basic Skills aren’t impactful enough in combat. These changes will not change the fundamental relationship between Basic Skills and Core Skills, but we hope that they help smooth out the leveling experience while we explore additional ways to strengthen them. We are also increasing the power of some Skills that players feel are lagging behind their peers. As we look forward to future updates, we’re monitoring other heavily discussed topics, such as Minion survivability and build parity. Please keep sending us your feedback, and we’ll see you in Sanctuary!

Wow 5 to 10 percent buffs you must not play sorc cause ours was 1 to 3 percent.

How many numbers tho?

The 13 page patch had like 2800 words. It was a little under. A lot of those 6600 words are going to be hype season notes and bug fixes. People expecting major class changes other than nerfs are probably going to be disappointed.

95% of those “6600” words will be about the season.

I doubt it. Some of the class balance changes were supposed to come earlier in 1.0.4 according to what was said in the dev stream, but they didn’t, so it’s fair to assume all of them were pushed to 1.1

Adam Fletcher tweeted it, no notes yet.

I think differently. IMO they hyped the hell out of those notes saying ooooo buffs coming. It was lackluster crap that was majority filled with stuff noone cared about. Very minor buffs. For this patch they prewarned us that nerfs were coming.
