Where are the patch notes?

In what game has that ever been the case until, well, now?

Even if it was miniscule, D3 would have notes before hand.
WoW literally will post stuff months ahead and alter them as needed.

The final patch notes for most games happen the day of. If there is a PTR (D3 and WoW have them) then we have PTR notes ahead of time. VERY rarely Blizz releases the final notes ahead of time. They have made some improvements with WoW lately where they do release them earlier.

D3 on the other hand, years and years of “when do the final patch notes come out!!!” posts. Answer is the day of the patch.

Joe P. said something about they don’t like to release patch notes until they are translated to all the languages and they can release to the world at the same time. Apparently it is 6600 words and it takes years before they can get it all translated.

It does not take years, but Localization is a pain in the backside and does take a lot of time. Multiple people, multiple approvals, all the supported languages. That goes for Patch notes and all the related News Blogs for Season. “Published” stuff has a lot more hoops to jump through.
