Guild Wars 2

I do not think there has been a single patch note in which many of the changes weren’t missing.

It is getting very annoying to notice changes in game that are not documented in the patch notes!

I do not expect ANet to disclose the changes they make to RNG stuff (loot, salvage, mystic forge, gathering, openable bags, chests…) because they like to play with this without us knowing about it so we cannot make rational expectation decisions about it; but all the other changes should and must be listed. Countless times I see changes to stats distribution on items, traits, skills, tooltips (what?), instances, mobs, zones, runes, prices .. well the whole game, that are not mentioned.

Note that I am not complaining about the content, or the omnipresence of RNG, or non-disclosure of information, or script bugs, or lags, or the absence of many essential and simple tools, or the priority of the fixes, just accurate patch notes!

How hard is it to write down on paper what you change as you change it?

So.. which are the changes that have been made without telling us in the patch notes?
And do we know that they are actual changes rather than bugs?

Fixed exploits and bugs don’t make it on the patch notes, if you find something different in a dungeon it means there was an exploit that got fixed, there is no need to have them on the patch notes.

Skill/Trait/Tooltip changes not on the patch notes are totally unacceptable though, sometimes last minute changes sneak in, but new patch notes should be made (or a simple update) to reflect the changes.

2 things I can think of is that Engi’s Elixer Gun’s toolbelt skill has stun break that wasn’t mentioned, and same with Ele’s Arcane Shield I believe.

There is an other change in Ele’s traits that isn’t mentioned, but it’s so good that I won’t say what – avoid the nerfbat!
