Thread: 2.4 Patch Notes Full?

I wouldn't plan on it. I could be wrong, but with them extending it an hour just so server comes up the moment after tome reset, I think they'll be bringing the servers online on the dot if it isn't extended further.

In regards to the question of the patch notes already being full:
I do not know Japanese, but it seems a translated version Foxclon's apology
on the JP forums states that there is more to the patch notes.

Hello there! Regarding the "Patch 2.4 Notes (Preliminary)" published the other day, we have apologies and announcements. Originally, in order to minimized confusion and impact on the market, it was our policy to mask new recipes being added when publishing preliminary patch notes. Except this time, there was a mistake, and the DoH armor recipes were described. Although we considered deleting the information, the information has spread rather quickly and given the high visibility of the patch notes, deleting the information would create a larger information gap in terms of what the public knows and what is available. Thus, we have decided to leave the information as-is. For the fact that this information has influenced the market prior to the patch release, we deeply apologize. We have no excuses. Additionally, with respect to currently unpublished armor recipes, they would influence the market further, and as such will be published with the full patch notes after patch maintenance.
EDIT (10/25 11:00) Because it was also confirmed that DoH armor recipes were available in languages other than Japanese, we have decided to add the recipes to the Japanese Preliminary Patch Notes. There will be a few announcements regarding this and we apologize for the confusion.
So as to not allow this sort of thing to happen again, we will continue to ensure standard operating procedures are carried out. We thank our players for their understanding and cooperation.
Regarding any other mistakes reported and/or confirmed, we will subsequently correct those errors.

先日公開しました「2.4パッチノート先行公開」に関して、お知らせとお詫びがございます。

本来、FFXIVのポリシーでは、パッチよりも先行してマーケットに影響や混乱が発生するのを
回避するために、新規追加レシピは先行公開時点ではマスク（非公開）するということに
しておりましたが、今回オペレーションミスにより、甲冑師を除くレシピが先行パッチノートに
記載されてしまいました。

削除することも検討しましたが、注目度の高いパッチノートであることから情報の拡散も早く、
削除するほうが情報格差の点での平等を欠くという判断をし、公開済みのものに関しては、
現状のまま残すことといたしました。

パッチ前にマーケットに影響を与えることになってしまった点について、お詫び申し上げます。
誠に申し訳ありません。

<s>また、現時点で未公開の甲冑師に関しては、これ以上のマーケットへの影響を拡大しない
ためにも、当初の予定通り、パッチメンテナンス以降に公開されるフルバージョンで公開
させていただきます。これにより、クラフタークラス間のバランスを欠く告知となってしまう
点に関しまして、重ねてお詫び申し上げます。</s>

※追記 (10/25 11:00)※---------------------------------------------
日本語以外の言語で甲冑師レシピが追加されていることも確認されたため、
日本語でも甲冑師レシピを追加することといたしました。二転三転の告知となり
混乱をきたしてしまい申し訳ありません。
--------------------------------------------------------

今後このような事が再発しないよう、オペレーションを徹底して参りますので、プレイヤーの
皆さまのご理解とご協力をよろしくお願いいたします。

※上記以外で確認されたりご報告頂いている表記ミス等の不具合に関しては、順次修正いたします。

Yup. Most times the full notes aren't available until after the servers are back up. Not sure where people are getting 12 hours before from.

edit. Though now that I think about it that may have only been the patches early in 2.0. I think the last few big patch the notes have been released a few hours before going live. SE seems concerned with people getting an advantage on the market if they have too much info. So the later the notes are released the less time there is to go over them and prepare your plan to take over the market board.

Hmm I saw the added hour to the completion time.

Oct. 27, 2014 12:00 a.m. to Oct. 28, 2014 1:00 a.m. (PDT)

Oh, ya know. I always forget that they changed the weekly reset time some time back. I really wish they'd just make the weekly and daily reset at the same time like it used to. The fact that they don't is kind of confusing sometimes.

I'm never home when the Weekly reset happens so It's easy to forget. I'm always still at work at that time. Though I am always home and usually playing when the daily reset occurs every morning.

I totally forgot the weekly reset was much earlier in the morning, and instead was thinking that it happened with the daily reset so at that completion time wouldn't change things if that was the case.
