2.35 - Possibility of Prelim Patch Notes?

Heya! I've noticed that, on-and-off, there have sometimes been preliminary patch notes that get shown, like, a day before the patch goes live. I would like very much if we could see some of these for 2.35, especially since 2.35 doesn't really seem to have been a big conversation topic this time around, whereas 2.15 and 2.25 were almost as big of a deal as the actual content patches.

I need my hype fix, man, and there are only three days left!

Doesn't usually happen with small patches, unfortunately.

According to a recent interview, there are Hunt-related changes in 2.35. Releasing the patch notes early in this case would do more harm than good.

While I know they won't say I really hope it isnt a total nerf, leaving content so long for progression and then cutting it down will hurt those who were already considered stragglers (opportunity to catch up becomes harder). If it a buff.. then the next ilvl tier must be pretty good lol.

We'll see though soon enough I suppose XD

I just want tri saster to make damage!!! Such useless technique

Oh, I get omitting the potentially damaging stuff and saving that for the ACTUAL patch notes, but I just remember how, in past X.X5 patches, they've managed to slip in minor content things that didn't make it into the previous X.X patch, like the Ixali Beast Tribe content and things like that, and had them in the preliminary patch notes in all of their hype-tastic glory.

Well 1 of the reasons probably due to preventing disappointment. Imagine they say they adding in xyz, but xyz caused some issues with server stabilty and they did not add xyz in.

Ppl gonna burn the forums down.

We can, at the very least, postulate that the oft talked about increase to the seals acquired through daily mark bills may happen in 2.35. As for a potential nerf... while I am in the camp who thinks that it absolutely must(not should, must) be nerfed, others also have a good point when they claim that it's too late to do anything now. It's been left in this overprofited state for so long that cutting it down now would piss off people for more reasons than just decreasing the profit.

I see no problem with taking all of the allied seals dropped by elite marks and slapping them onto the daily/elite mark bills instead. On a personal note, I really want allied seals to drop from Frontlines as that would make storyline sense, but that's just me.

The amount of items they could actually divulge on prelim. patch notes for this patch is probably small enough to not make it worth it. The Hunt adjustments are one. The rundown atm though is essentially Hunt adjustments, Ixali Beast quests, Glamour in PvP, Full Alliance queuing (Finally), misc. FL adjustments. Given the Ixali will revolve around crafting I can see why they may not want to release any details on it, we don't need a patch notes saying Glamour is enabled or 24-man queueuing. They NEVER release any kind of balance adjustment in prelim notes so that means no details on the FL stuff. Not a whole lot to put in the Notes.
