Thread: 2.35 - Possibility of Prelim Patch Notes?

Heya! I've noticed that, on-and-off, there have sometimes been preliminary patch notes that get shown, like, a day before the patch goes live. I would like very much if we could see some of these for 2.35, especially since 2.35 doesn't really seem to have been a big conversation topic this time around, whereas 2.15 and 2.25 were almost as big of a deal as the actual content patches.

I need my hype fix, man, and there are only three days left!

Doesn't usually happen with small patches, unfortunately.

.35 is hardly small. They are fixing a lot.

Umm...as in not the main patches. It doesn't matter how much they're fixing, what I said is true, they don't generally release preliminary patch notes for the 2.xx patches, just the main ones.

While I know they won't say I really hope it isnt a total nerf, leaving content so long for progression and then cutting it down will hurt those who were already considered stragglers (opportunity to catch up becomes harder). If it a buff.. then the next ilvl tier must be pretty good lol.

We'll see though soon enough I suppose XD

We can, at the very least, postulate that the oft talked about increase to the seals acquired through daily mark bills may happen in 2.35. As for a potential nerf... while I am in the camp who thinks that it absolutely must(not should, must) be nerfed, others also have a good point when they claim that it's too late to do anything now. It's been left in this overprofited state for so long that cutting it down now would piss off people for more reasons than just decreasing the profit.

I see no problem with taking all of the allied seals dropped by elite marks and slapping them onto the daily/elite mark bills instead. On a personal note, I really want allied seals to drop from Frontlines as that would make storyline sense, but that's just me.

Oh, I get omitting the potentially damaging stuff and saving that for the ACTUAL patch notes, but I just remember how, in past X.X5 patches, they've managed to slip in minor content things that didn't make it into the previous X.X patch, like the Ixali Beast Tribe content and things like that, and had them in the preliminary patch notes in all of their hype-tastic glory.

My understanding was the "changes" were to improve rendering for overpopulated hunts. Not so much changing mechanics or rewards.

But it's all speculation right now.
