			It's not like they need to be written... The notes have been done for days so why not post them when the servers go down so we have something to read in the meantime?

not funny!

Is not possible, cause if put patch notes up first and then take something out during maintenance, need to adjust notes again.
More room for mistakes.
 
Better to learn patience and wait till put online after maintenance.

They shouldn't post the patch notes when the servers go down.
If an issue arises and the patch could not be applied to the servers, then they would have more QQ's about people whining i wants attunement nerfs noaw cuz its too hard!
 
They will post the patch notes when they are good and ready to, not when you tell them too.

Echoing Olivar. Patch notes should be posted once Carbine know the patch was applied successfully and the servers boot without issue.
 
Not before.

They used to post patch notes during the downtime. However, about a month ago, patch notes were posted. Then servers went live, and the patch actually completely broke the game. Servers had to be taken down and the patch completely reversed, and a shit storm ensued in the forums. Patch notes had to be removed (which removed a long string of comments in said patch notes) which then triggered a whole new shit storm of "why are you taking down our opinions, you're trying to shut us up" negativity. So they learned from their mistakes.
 
TL;DR: Impatient a$$hats like yourself are the reason they dont post patch notes immediately :)

Let me rephrase + taking Olivar in to account.
 
The patch notes should be posted when the servers come back on. (WoW is doing it that way, or am I mistaken?)

That okay :)
But also see Pureless' post.
Small delay is okay. If patch  need reversing, then is okay if no notes posted yet.

Yea.. well the thing is... I am absolutely ok with posting patch notes a little (like an hour) delayed and maybe afterwards state that there is a mistake and they have to have another down time again. What I dont get it is more in the sense of, how many mistake they patch in to the game with every patch and that QA/Bug Fixing Team (hence: BFT) are not working obviously.
 
The delayed posting of patch notes is also a problem because W* aims for addicted and/or dedicated players who want to know best what is going on in W* (of course not all but a good amount of players) but they cannot gain knowledge because patch notes are just missing... #lol or just wrong.. and things have not been patched or do not work, despite the fact that the patch notes state that something was fixed.

To sum it up:
you dont shout to the world what you accomplished... if in fact it hasnt been accomplished successfully yet.
 
patch notes should come after confirmation

Cannot explain why happened, but happens. Is same reason why patch can alway fail.
Rebuilding entire server structure in staging and test environments is complex and expensive, so probably one reason.
Issues can always happen.
