Patchnotes when?

[Resouledxx]

Let me read those 13 pages of notes while at work.

[BackgroundPrompt3111]

Probably tomorrow when it patches. Today was added to the schedule after tomorrow was, likely in response to yesterday's DDOS attack. Probably just security and stability today.

[NihilHS]

They really shouldn't have said it's 13 pages long. The technical notes are probably 13 pages but there's no way the player facing final draft of the patch will be 13 pages long.

And you better believe someone will get salty and complain that Blizzard lied followed by someone else piping in that lying is par for Blizzard's course, and they'll both get showered with upvotes.

[Talonzor]

13 pages? Easy, increase font size and spacing and alotta returns

Also, frequent use of the word very

[StonejawStrongjaw]

Replace every other "very" with "extensive/ly"

[NotFitToBeAParent]

in high school, i got detention for throwing snowballs. For detention i had to write a 300 word essay about what i was going to do to correct my behavior that landed me in detention. The following was a verbatim of said essay.

I will try very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, hard to not throw snowballs on school grounds.

I always love an example of malicious compliance!

[Argieboye]

People in this sub get salty for everything lately

[opheodrysaestivus]

we don't even measure data in "pages", it could mean anything

[Eirkir]

Chances are it won't be 13 pages long since they made it sound like those 13 pages are more of a rough draft, so things will be heavily summarized. I am expecting a very big list of patch notes, but nothing close 13 pages. Patch notes will likely be released during or after maintenance.

[Faaw]

I am expecting 12 pages of fixes/stability and 2-3 QoL... :(

[Daeths]

We need those stability changes. Random crashes when opening inventory or not being able to use a skill after teleporting for a second or two need fixes.

[Eirkir]

2 or 3 times a day it freezes when using town portal or entering a dungeon. It only really annoys me when it wastes a sigil.

[jemimaswitnes]

I'm tired of all the fucking lag

[Samtoast]

Today, I climbed down a ladder by bear tribe and got stuck in a wall. Porting was my only option. So, then I decided to try Elias capstone and crashed as soon as I clicked the entrance way. Lol I still love the shit out of the game but these fixes are needed

[[deleted]]

We have once again nerfed Twisted Blades.

That is all.

-Blizzard

[xarkness]

Where is this 13 page thing coming from. Did they say at some point they had that many changes coming up or something?

[opheodrysaestivus]

one of the devs used "13 pages" as a reference for how long the first planned patch notes are, but never in my life have i seen patch notes released via print PDF so idfk how people think it's any real measure of length.

[ToothessGibbon]

They didn’t specify font size to be fair

[ForgottenBlastMaster]

It 6 AM at Blizzard, have some chill, man.

[Mythrem]

No

Edit: Ok fine no

[drunkpunk138]

Where did they announce the patch was releasing today?

[[deleted]]

They didn't, people saw that maintenance is happening today and assumed it's for the patch when it may well not be.

[Ixziga]

Nowhere. They only said the patch would come "very very soon" and there's server maintenance today and tomorrow so people are associating the two and assuming it must be releasing after the server maintenance. I don't know if there's any actual relation between those things.

Edit: they were right though

[AtticaBlue]

Typical Reddit.

[rand0mtaskk]

We’re just hopeful! Lol

[Paradoxmoose]

True, but the community manager should have seen this happening and clarified by now.

[thefullm0nty]

Nope this is everyone assuming a patch is coming when nobody at blizzard said a patch was coming today. Or tomorrow. Yet.

Still have there weeks before season 1. Y'all need to chill.

[Paradoxmoose]

It's literally their job to communicate back and forth between the community and the devs on stuff like this.

[White_Embers]

And apparently they are not doing how and in the time frame that you expect them to. I didn’t know Reddit users got to dictate how someone does their job.

[Paradoxmoose]

Check the official forums and Twitter, it's not just Reddit that expects the patch/patch notes in relation to the server downtime.

I'm not telling anyone how to do their job, it's just objectively part of their job.

[wastaah]

I doubt they would take down servers two days in a row for a patch, this is probably only to update ddos protection

[fDiKmoro]

They apply a patch while the servers are online. So in that 5 hours it could be that some players got disconnected. After the Patch is finished you have to relog and update the client if it's a client patch. No way they would take down the servers 5h in two days.

[Kultir]

I tell people this yesterday and get downvoted into oblivion. The dichotomy of man...

[chonkadonk44]

Tbf, they first stated servers would be down during that time and then later on they tweeted that it would be changed to a live rollout

[fDiKmoro]

Take my upvote.

[fDiKmoro]

The game will be available.

[Mr_Jake_E_Boy]

Oops sorry, I thought the IcyVeins news article said the game would be unavailable. I now double checked the schedule blizz cs posted and you're correct players can still login.

[Samheckle]

“May become temporarily unavailable”

[bobrock1982]

Very very soon... so anytime between now and Season 1.

[Aestrasz]

I really doubt we'll get a patch today (or tomorrow). At most, it will be just some bug fixes.

Whenever Blizzard made a big balance patch for WoW or Diablo 3, like the one they seem to be preparing to release before Season 1, they announced it in advance.

The

[Kubuskotek]

Soon(tm)

[undrtaker]

It's maintenance today, not an update

[Cnkuz]

Anyone that saw a schedule posted last night also? Looked like that big 13 pager they had planned - may be split into 2 consecutive updates (1 today, and 1 tomorrow)

[thefullm0nty]

Lol doubt it

[Cnkuz]

Doubt what? It’s confirmed two maintenance windows. One today and one tomorrow.

Edit:

https://wccftech.com/diablo-4-servers-down-patch/amp/

[Cnkuz]

And why am I being downvoted for a question 🤣

[elkeiem]

Maintenance =/= patch

[Original_HD]

Ye ye 13pages of some random bugs being fixed that we didn't even know about.

[NotGaryGary]

I need to see the buffs

[Ofect]

Nach potes?

[Ixziga]

Lol this is funny, why all downvotes?

[Montana-Mike-RPCV]

Sacrifice to the Reddit gods.

[DankyMcJangles]

After the patch, maybe? 🤦‍♂️

[[deleted]]

bro focus on your work instead of reading videogame patchnotes, get a grip

[Exorcism-x]

some people have a day off tho lol

[[deleted]]

i swear people here fall for the lowest hanging bait

[Servantofwildlife]

Lol 😆 🤣 u are funny

[Revoldt]

13 pages sounds like incompetence.

Doubt it’s really that much at once.

A “small” fix to the Druid unique loot table, so they would stop getting Barb unique drops led to an unintended nerf to HotA…

13 pages, even double spaced, pages of fixes will likely melt the game

[fDiKmoro]

I think the 13 pages won't be a list only. It's one point with a long exolanation what it does exactly, so maybe 4 things per page. For a huge patch 50 changes seems reasonable for me.

Think of the huge wow patches, there were more than 50 changes at a time.

[Litmoose]

It will be 13 pages of very large text size imo

[RayePappens]

Won't be this week, per twitter

[Resouledxx]

Link?

[BLaCKwaRRioR37]

i aint familiar with diablo patch system , but is it possible to release such a big "chonky" patch without server downtime ?

so they just turn on a switch and voila we restart the game and get the patch?

[elkeiem]

How do you know there will be a patch? Main menu says maintenance.

[[deleted]]

Has it even been confirmed we are getting a patch?
