Patch 1.17a has been announced but...

[Nuru]

Heya!

I've sent my trusted companion to seek the informations about the patch 1.17a. He'll return the 25th, after he'll have hijacked the Maintenance post writing what he has found, so everyone can know about it.

Look forward to it!

That's quite disturbing. lol

[Renshi]

That's quite disturbing. lol

Yeah, he's always like that, charming, funny and disturbing =D

I remember back in the day, maybe like 2 months ago, they had some kind of notes on a patch before the day it comes out.... I figure they are working diligently on it until the day of its arrival, so they cant really post what is changing since it could change on patch day.

[Seif]

It's really telling that people acknowledge the first patches as the BIG patch and need to call the latter small. To me the patches are so small these lettered ones might as well be called nano-edits. =(

[Betelgeuzah]

It doesn't even make sense to call them BIG patches. They aren't BIG, for neither players nor the developers. I guess there's just nothing to compare it to yet, not before SE is ready.

letter 7
One last thing. A portion of the changes in patches 1.17 and 1.17a are preparations for the mid- and high-rank PvE content planned for later release. As soon as we hammer out the basics of the new dungeon and raid environments, we’ll be throwing out some screenshots and introducing them to you.

so that told, don't expect anything great in 1.17a

[zoekwon]

i agree seems like 1.18 will bring out content.

[Abriael]

They're gonna tell us tomorrow. Knowing it today or tomorrow makes absolutely no difference.

As I remember correctly, 30% of AWESOME is still AWESOME.

Awesome? w/e u are on i'd like some, next patch wont be much of anything, they added nice nm's maybe they will add lot cast that would be too perfect though soooo probably wont happen.
Waiting for 1.18 patch hoping that will be the battle changes and if that is more of the same nonsense i'm signing the divorce papers!

They're gonna tell us tomorrow. Knowing it today or tomorrow makes absolutely no difference.

Some consistency on pre-patch notes would be appreciated.
