Finally we have an idea what Blizzard was trying to do with the changes they made. Finally!

I can't take full credit for this, as Wyatt approached me with the idea (I just do the wordsmithing). They almost didn't make this set of patch notes because of tight schedules on Localization, but luckily our Localization teams are AMAZING and were able to accommodate. :)

This was a bit of an experiment, and if it's something that folks like, we'll endeavor to continue providing them. It's a bit more visible and proactive than responding to questions on the forums about patch note changes, and continued transparency is a goal for both Community and Development alike.

Also, +1 to each of these lines, made me lol:


I will, however, claim ownership of those lines. :P

Instead you succumb to people who complain and refuses to use their brain.


There are many factors we take into account before making class changes, and while community feedback is one of them, it's not the only factor. Internal testing, game play statistics, and personal experience all factor in as well. It's very rare we make a change based on a single form of feedback or data alone.

Can you please explain what "transparency" means? I always have a hard time understanding what you guys mean by it. Keep up the philosophy, please!


When I use the phrase "transparency," I mean providing the reasoning behind or an inside look at why we make certain changes or even what we're working on. If there's something we're able to share, we do our utmost to share it with you all as soon as possible in a way that's easily accessible and able to be understood.

Silly of them to put different patch notes in 3 different places all with different info.


The patch notes on the launcher were taking a bit longer to update than on the website. Apologies for that - they should be corrected shortly.

Patch notes are available both on our website and in the launcher at this time.
