That's really weird. Whenever my team pushes a release we have the patch notes typed up and ready before we even have the deployment.

Damn alot of good stuff in that list !!!!

I actually had a similar sentiment about this back in June when a major update came through without any notes attached. Copypasting from a previous thread:


"We heard your feedback that previously you didn't want to join Discord for patch notes. Since then we've been posting them to Steam and communicating here more.

This patch is slightly different, the reason they're a post tomorrow is due to the fact that tomorrow's Steam post will be marked as a "Major Update" allowing more visibility and we can only utilize that during specific windows."

30 gb for this? not the most experienced dev team huh?

[SOLIDAge]

We'll be talking more about this patch, posting the full notes and a lot more exciting things next week. Hope you play and enjoy this weekend, and if you haven't left us a review on Steam yet, please do as it does help!

This can't be for real, right? So we're not getting notification of what's changing for the entire weekend, instead it's "just guess"?)

Not to mention that 30 gigs can be quite a lot for people with slower speeds or limited plans to download in the first place. Not everyone can have access to unlimited fibre speeds y'know.

I love your guys work, but this response is.. Uh. Certainly a choice.

The notes aren't a secret, they're posted in Discord.
This is an early push of the update before it's officially launched next week.
The minute I post patch notes to Steam, it'll generate a news post which will trump our other announcements that we're planning for early next week.

Alright, great, then I'll go to Discord (gods I hate the trend of posting stuff on a platform that is closed/can't be searched for, but w/e at this point), find the patch notes and post them myself, if you can't be bothered to, because well, surprise, people would love to know what is in a 30 Gb patch before they commit to it. Wild that your concern is about "oh it's going to push down other news" - after having a non explanation patch for the weekend, I don't imagine people would be much happier reading the news after that.

Also I assume you either straight up don't have a customer support team, or hate their guts - because as someone who worked in that area, having a patch for the product with no changelog right before the weekend sounds like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disasterpiece.
