@alkali_layke I assume patch details on the 19th as well ?

@EliteLeafHater All the details are in the patch. Patch on 19th.

@alkali_layke so no advance notice of changes?

@BRinMilwaukee I'm not quite sure what you mean by this question. It is uncommon for us to say what's in a patch before it comes out. Occasionally our devs might make mention of a few things, but it is not standard

@alkali_layke usually it seems there are patch notes a few days before release, or maybe that's just standard

@BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke For most of the major patches, we usually publish the patch notes the day before the patch (or more, if there are some other scheduling considerations), but for most of these smaller patches we can’t do that because they’re reactive so they come together on too short a timetable.

@hsdecktech @BRinMilwaukee Nick is so much more eloquent than myself. Lol... what he said! Thanks Nick! 💙

@ben_heathstone @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke The “pre-tease” is popular for engaged players within that specific region, but hard for other players, especially engaged players in the other regions. So we try to keep this stuff within the official channels unless there’s a specific reason (like an upcoming Master Tour).

@ben_heathstone @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke I am looking forward to seeing dev comments once that stuff goes, though!

@hsdecktech @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke love u man, but i checked my history and here are all the smaller balance patches since barrens: 20.0.2 in advance 20.2.2 same day 20.4.2 in advance 20.8.2 in advance 21.0.3 in advance "SW 4th balance patch" in advance (MT) 22.0.2 same day 22.4.3 in advance 23.0.3 in advance (MT)

@BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke My statement was equal parts explanatory and aspirational. As one of the people who complained just the other day when the loc wasn’t in, I’m sure you’ll understand the benefits of waiting until it is.

@hsdecktech @BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke btw, will we delay the Heroic Brawl? 🧐

@geyuan6_hs @BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke The team is working out what the best solution for that is. Will update when I have info.

@geyuan6_hs @BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke Update: yep! https://t.co/tCPBLdu11F

BennidgeZ

Posted 3 years, 10 months ago (Source)

@hsdecktech @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke yep, i def understand (and called it). tho it does feel that, compared with last year when more smaller patches can have loc more in time, we're off to a rocky start this year, so i understand but am also concerned, hope things can at least be on par with last year.

hsdecktech

Posted 3 years, 10 months ago (Source)

@BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke I don’t want to say for sure and have you go back and have another fact-check, but I think the difference wasn’t as much loc/patch timing as being more willing to do things like unofficial tweets right after decisions are made, but before loc.

hsdecktech

Posted 3 years, 10 months ago (Source)

@BennidgeZ @BRinMilwaukee @alkali_layke Thoughts on the costs and benefits of those types of unofficial communications have changed a little as team members and priorities have changed.

@alkali_layke @BRinMilwaukee dang, so the patch isn't standard?
