At E3, Dev Team: NO English Patch Notes Reading? :(

[Belhi]

The 3.0 patch notes will take a long time to read out anyway. With English translation it will double that length. Its the reason the last live letter went over 3 hours. Its not like we wont be able to read them ourselves.

As for why at E3? Because that's where they will be and Heavensward will be launching pretty much the moment E3 ends. Its not like they have another window to do it in where there would be any point to it at all.

Why are people fixated on this? I thought people would be far more interested in the Live Letter instead where they will actually be showing off new ingame systems.

While I really don't care since we'll get rough translations at the same time and shortly thereafter (probably official translations within several hours if their last one is anything to go off of... 50/50 chance), it really does still merit a "SE, you crazy /slap" type of reaction. The sort of reaction you have when someone you know says something either really stupid/silly or just outright random and unfitting to the situation.

Patch notes, especially in this case, are dramatically more informative than any LL. Particularly as of late, LL's are only teasers of things... some of which are/were too far in the future to really care. Including things that may or may not end up being included anyway. Patch notes, on the other hand, are relatively set-in-stone content to be released (very shortly thereafter). Maybe it's just me but, most of the LL from the last 6 months or so have been rather lackluster. Some nice things mentioned in each, but they were all just basically entirely filled with (repeat) previews of HW... the sort of thing we see from any gaming news website. It would have been nice to see a couple LL thrown in answering questions about the state of current concerns and for the future, like a number of LL's were in the past. Maybe I'm just crazy to think that the Live Letters gained a lot of popularity due to addressing players as players, rather than press.
