It's been a bit of a nagging concern to players that patch notes are not as thorough as they could be. With each update, a few changes always seem to slip through without being documented.

 

Recent example:

I just noticed today that Crimson HQ mobs were changed so that they all shoot you with ranged attacks now.

 

This is actually something I mentioned in my very first post ever on the Eldevin forums, too:

 

Edit: I forgot to mention one nitpicky thing. Please, when releasing patch notes, make sure to include all of the changes! In the 1.01 patch, the HP and damage of Wild Shigra monsters was changed. While I am absolutely okay with this and other balance changes, please do not make stealth changes! Documenting and displaying all changes is the best way to avoid angry players talking about stealth nerfs.

 

Please, for future patches, include the full changelog of fixes and changes in each update, no matter how mundane or small the change might be. Also, if you could archive all patch and update notes in a sub-section of the forums, so players can quickly get up to speed with what's changed over the months/years, that would be fantastic!

Sample:

 

Update sevral creature's in game!

 

small change or tweek's to creature's

 

Changed sevral Crafting/Gathering node's in game + tweek's

 

Other simple wording explain change's - tweek's but not giving full info as many chaneg update take up to much time typ out.

 

Simple wording cover large area of update's, Make use aware of the change's vs find out for our's self's rageing or asking Question in patch note's why.

I've seen mods spending hours a day reading forums, i don't say that that's bad, but writing a patch report can't take so many hours? if even an hour... So it can't be because they don't got time!

We try to include everything, occasionally a few things slip through, we will try ensure future notes are more complete!

Blame me, I am a bit rubbish at remembering what I've been working on when Mojawk asks for the patch notes
