Guild Wars 2

some of us like to read the whole patch notes before playing a new build, it makes it extremely irritating when you release the notes and the patch at the same time.

can you please release the notes at least 1 hour before patch so i can read it and not have to choose either or.

GW2 wants to be different from other standard mmos.They do things that’ll make you scratch your head in annoyance.

Might be damage control. Every time a new patch comes out, there’s usually a kittenstorm of the forums. By releasing at the same time, a percentage of people will choose to be in game instead of on the forums.

More to the point, they ONCE previewed the changes they were going to make in-game (ascended items, last year) and the bulk of the posters flipped their kitten, because nobody outside of the game locusts wanted it. Despite millions of posts full of negative feedback, they went ahead and did exactly what they were begged not to.

Why would they bother giving a heads-up again, if they don’t care about customer feedback? Drop it all in one go, do a quick (4 month, quick, hah) check for unintended features (ie: bugs) and ignore the consumers, as always.
