In the last weekly address did Dontelli mention he would post the 100 pages of patch notes for us to look over?
 
Just wondering what's happening with that

NOT this.
 
There are patch notes for Drop 3 'the Defile' ONLY still floating around but they are seriously outdated compared to the mountain of Dev responses of "that's (fixed) in Patch 3".
 
We haven't seen current patch notes for Drop 3 since early September with a couple of 'oops we forgot to mention' posts mid-month... some of those coming after the build was no longer available to test.
 
The most likely order of operations is the Mega-server build will get promoted to Live and then in the next day or two after that the new Drop 3-4 beast and its entourage of 100 pages of bug fixes will be moved to the PTR. Assume another day for wackiness trying to actually post all that in chunks that fit the board software's character limits and we will finally see what all hope has been pinned on.

			Human any idea how long takes to type over 100 pages?

As mentioned by Haisenkalle above, the PTR Patch Notes will feature a ton of what's going into the next drop. But as Nike mentions, there is still more to add.
 
We're still working on getting the notes out asap, there is a lot of them so it's taking a bit of time.

If the process of checking-in changes doesn't include writing a blurb for inclusion in the changes document... well, I'm sure the person behind such a system was already fired. I refuse to believe Carbine compiles it in a single pass from a pile of post-it notes.
 
(that said, I totally get why it takes a while to localize it into several other languages)

I can help too with the typing!
 
Here.. just let me take the housing section real quick off your hands.. :P

			You realize they would first have to type up the notes they wish you all to type up and send them to you in email. ;)

I used to write up patch notes, I'd be happy to help if possible. However I understand if you don't want me to...
 
Lemurian is right though, least from my own experience  what we would describe in-house isn't always written in a way that outside reader would or could understand.

The pages are already typed...... seriously. You think the patch notes are just on a chalkboard in the office or something?

I realize that when you know every single time you do a patch you're going to have to present the changes in a way 'categorized and readable' by the general public that you require the blurbs to meet that standard in the first place.
 
Its not like its some Big Surprise that they have to present patch notes. Its the Job. It's the Job every single time.

You realize it still has to be parsed and categorized for readability by the general population right?
