patch 1.17a maint the april 25

patch 1.17a is out the 25 of april if ppl didn't look it up. no info on what the rest of the patch will be added.

YAY! whats in it?!

I guess I could voice my concerns here.

There should be more consistency when it comes to patches. Last time we got a "Testing in Progress" thread for 1.16a, but after that we have seen no further use of the sub-forum. If possible, it would be nice to know at least tidbits of the patch a bit beforehand. Especially if this "mid-month" patch is slightly larger than 1.15b and 1.16a were.

Good find. I don't expect much, (minor fixes) but I'm happy that the pace of progress seems to be quickening.

I expect lolpatches within the hour of its release.

Someone could dream to see some companies content in this.. but i'll try to avoid this illusory thought. :x

think it's patch 1.17b , not a

Agree its really odd how they haven't used those sub-forums since patch 1.16a

Now someone clear this up for me, was 1.17 70% and 1.17a supposed to 30% or was it the other way round.

Because if 1.17a is the 70% one then we are in for a treat :O

1.17a should be part of the previus patch, splitted in 2 due earthquake. don't expect much, so you can warm your lolpatch engine

Majority was in the 1.17.

This is the normal, although slightly larger mid-monthly patch (aka 1.15b, 1.16a). I hope you've all gotten used to them by now.

Ahh I won't get too excited then :S

1.17a should contain the remaining 30% from 1.17 so probably won't be a great deal. We shall have to wait and see

1.17 = 70%. 1.17a = 30%.

Don't expect a ton in this one folks, it will still be progress though and progress is a good thing.

I think anybody would be extremely overly optimistic to expect "much" out of these patches at this point but whatever is in it is probably something good no matter how small stuff it is.

I don't expect the bigger changes to be part of these patches if they are coming they'll probably be released outside of the patch schedule.

Ah yes your're right, think they changed it after i read it.
Cuz it didnt say 17a when i read it.

I don't care how much or little is in it. It's a patch, it's progress.

Game is starting to look good.

It is definitely getting there, slowly but surely.

Looking forward to seeing what comes out in 1.17a and 1.18
