Guild Wars 2

Reasoning:

Patch notes will be long and will lead to intense reading, reviewing and theorycrafting.
That means that after the patch, there will be a lag between patching and playing which isn’t as much fun.

Releasing the notes today gives just enough time to really digest them, design your new builds and then play play play when you first patch.

Hope you read this!

Let there be an Arrow in the Knee, A Bomb at Your Feet and Blinding Powder in Your Face.

Patch notes:
- We changed something, but won’t tell you. Send your community ninjas for reports.

In past, it worked pretty well.

- We changed something, but we dont have any idea what it was. We’ll decide later, if it was intended or not.
is also pretty reliable

More like it will lead to a big patch, bunch of people logging in to play with it, and the game will run into “unexpected” bugs causing crashes and burning your churches.

But really, every patch has a series of bugs along side it, the real patch won’t be out for a couple more days after they solve those issues. 1 issue I would love to see fixed, is the random kitten lag spikes! How are people supposed to test new content when they see 1 of 1,000 frames and suddenly disconnect?

I know, I’m excited too!
I can’t wait to play with all my shiny new toys

OP is using the same argument on x-mas.
