To the dev team: Can you please give us the patch notes for Stormblood before you start the maintenance at the Lodestone? Those notes are not available for reading during Lodestone maintenance. I want to play the game instead of reading after early access begins.

If they follow the Heavensward release schedule then preliminary patch notes should be available tonight.

Heavensward prelim patch notes were -posted- 7 days before the launch. They'll put it up before maintenance even starts and before the patch note reading
-
06-13-2017, 11:41 PMEvergreyMaybe they'll put it up on the Lodestone but will also read it later on.Quote:

They posed the Preliminary Patch Notes on Tuesday for Heavensward and then did the reading on Wednesday or Thursday iirc.

06-13-2017, 11:53 PMVesparThats what they usually do. Prelim usually comes out a few days early then they do a patch note reading later on.Quote:

edit: The reading of the patch notes is just that... them reading them. They are available for us to read ourselves a good bit before that. -

Please do not spread misinformation. You absolutely can read patch notes during Lodestone maintenance. You don't have access to the full Lodestone site. Even in 3.55 we still had the patch notes read-able from the Lodestone site while the Lodestone itself was in maintenance.

3.0 Prelims were available 3 days before early access started. 16, vs the 19th, and launch was the 23rd. if they keep to that, we will get prelims today.
-
06-14-2017, 12:43 AMFelisThis only mean that they will read the full patch note at that time, not that there will be no preliminary patch note 2 or 3 days before thatQuote:

So they'll make the patch notes available to read. Then there's a separate... reading of the patch notes? In audio or video form? What's that for? I must be missing something.

06-14-2017, 01:03 AMValkyrie_LennethIts an excitement builder, and another way for them to interact with the playerbase.Quote:

To further reiterate for the OP misunderstanding:
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...6367caeac914b0
This is when Lodestone Maintenance occurred during All Worlds Maintenance AND Patch Notes reading right before early access.
Also note, "* News and Topics on The Lodestone will still be available for viewing."
