So about those patch notes...

From what I understand, they will be going over the 3.0 patch notes during e3. During the reading, will they be going over the patch notes completely (time permitting), or just be going over certain topics?

Also, when will the patch notes be available to the public? After the presentation, at early release, at the official release or a different time?

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :D

My guess would be it'll be there before the early access.

Do they really need patch notes for an expansion?

It's still a version 3.0 update for the handful that hasn't bought the expansion, so yeah. Patch notes for the core system changes that impact everyone, not just expansion players.

The notes won't give details on new content beyond vague overviews. There will be lots of changes to old content and major system changes though and those will need to be covered in the notes. All jobs are also being rebalanced to account for their new skills (this was confirmed in the last live letter) so there will be lots of potency changes and such to current skills and some major changes to skills like Tri-Disaster and Protect. Will all need to be documented.

Depends on the timing of servers going down for update.

If servers go down from Monday night (15th) and remain down until Friday (19th), there would be no reason to delay the info dump beyond Monday.

Yes they do.
Some people arent getting the expansion right away and the patch will still affect then. The notes will let them know about the changes.

I think right now the bigger question is when will the download be available?

They always release patch notes of major patches a few days before they happen

My guess is the Tuesday reset before, along with the preliminary patch notes. Monday night maintenance with required download based on if you bought the expansion or not, then a brief server downtime before early access goes live for a minor download.

I don't know of a game that *didn't* give its expansion releases patch notes... Expansion is officially patch 3.0.

the patch notes they will be reading is the full patch notes, since EA has access to most features of Heavenward, the patch notes they read and that will be shown on the 19th will be of all features in Early access, with any possible additions on the 23rd :3
