I realize it must be complicated to put out the wordy patch notes that present new features to the game, but if you patch the game and you only get rid of a tournament feature that was scheduled to run for a few days it shouldn't be that hard to let us know what you did. However, if you make changes to other things in addition to that or if you're adding a fix/change to something why not let us know? Sure you might get a lot of feedback about it, but isn't that what you need? Every time a patch rolls out and we don't get notes it seems like the game gets f'd. That happens sometimes even with notes, but for the most part everyone is left hanging wondering if the game they want to play is even worth playing untill the next hotfix/patch... We don't even have any idea half the time about whats goin' on, untill we start talking to the other players who know more about what is going on than the people who implemented the patch apparently. Its just lame that we have to figure this stuff out for you instead of you figuring it out before changing stuff. I can guarantee if this were anything other than a beta game I'd have packed up and found a new game by now. Its downright inconsiderate that you want feedback and testing of this game from your current 'player' base, but you don't even bother to tell us what your changing half the time. Is it realy that hard to add more patch notes?

I'd really like to know what they did with todays mini patch.

I keep getting "Session was lost" when I try to enter a match.

I second this. I'll have to reload my weapons to see if it was a bug, but my Jag that I'm working on had the range listed in the weapons panel drop to 400m for the AC/2s, but in the hangar they are still listed as 700m or whatever the long range is. Now, if they are messing with ballistic ranges, that's fine, just let us know.

+1, I want to know every little thing they change. Some of us can figure out what is causing various bugs based on what is added or changed.

These here, are good patch notes http://www.townsgame....php?f=8&t=1420

Though I think the OP has a good point, had it been voiced with a less negative/attacking tone it would likely receive more attention.

Oh shut up, do you agree we need to know every thing in every patch regardless or not? LOL!!! HA HA HA!!

I say yes they should put out a brief patch note to any patch.It would be great to know what they did.

If anyone was unclear about who 'you' is... thats pgi/devs/whoever is responsible for posting the patch notes... figure someone in that huge list of people should be able to handle this... maybe we'll have to wait for that a year or two after the game goes live too like all the other games that come out old and busted cause people took too long to make them. We gonna get this or mw tactics anytime in the next year or does workin' on two or more games at once slow that process down?

I have suggested similar in the past, but did not listen.
Person or persons writing it do not seem to have looked into all the changes made in patch uploads, and left to players to find all the things they did not bother to say.
Communication skills is what they need as they are CRAP at it.

they answered this somewhere, with the line that they'd literally have to print out the source code every patch to cover everything.......

There are actually patch notes. Took me a while to find them. It is a fix for the beginning-of-round crashes, supposedly.
