Patch Notes for March 4th?

[EQPrime]

<p>No patch notes for today?  There were supposed to be a lot of fixes going in.</p>

I'm not aware of any patch notes for today. Believe me, I looked. I just know about the 3 Assassin, 1 Templar, and 1 Dirge AA abilities being fixed: <a href="http://eq2wire.feldoncentral.com/2010/03/04/class-aa-bugfixes-templar-dirge-assassi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2wire.feldoncentral.com/20...-dirge-assassi/</a>

<p>What was the "urgent issue" that needed to be fixed?</p>

<p>Maybe we will get some today since the servers are going down <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">again </span></strong></span>. . .</p>

<p>Well Kiara mentioned that yesterdays downtime was supposed to fix a lot of AA's...</p>

<p>Another day and another DT. This is getting very old, very fast. Please, please take care of all the problems so we can get back to enjoying the game instead of all these annoying bugs, slow zones, lag etc. etc.</p>

<p>If you are asking me?  There is no communication as I am on the other part of the country <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p>I know what you know and I feel the same pain in downtimes that you do...  I will ask Kiara if there were any notes, but if there are, she usually posts them.</p><p>Keep in mind that there may be DB issues that they are fixing that they may feel that update notes are not necessary.... sort of behind the scenes stuff that isn't really necessary to mention...</p>

[MadHatter1]

<p>That's cool also, but again, still doesn't hurt them to say "Hey kiddies, servers will be down today because we have hardware issues, or whatever...mass squirrel epidemic."  All I'm talking about is consideration.  I figured it up a few days ago, and since launch I've spent right at 2k playing eq2....and I know there are people that have payed much much more than that.  You'd think that SOE would bend over backwards to be considerate with us paying their checks.</p>

That MAY be it.</p><p>But yesterday's patch contained a lot of bug fixes that have already been identified by players. So obviously that wasn't it.</p><p>There are also potential contents/changes coming that it would be very helpful to know if they've been made. For example, timetravelling indicated XP would return to some of the Hole repeatables. I'd very much like to know whether it has BEFORE I turn them in, rather than finding out the hard way.</p>

<p>There are no public notes.  When there are, they get posted.</p><p>The downtime was not scheduled.  Clearly it was a situation where the team felt that the need to fix the issue was important enough to bring the servers down.  Yes, we want to return to the weekly updates, unfortunately sometimes things happen.</p><p>Can we please stop with the constant and multiple threads griping about the need to patch the game?  We don't like having to bring the servers down any more than you guys like us doing it.</p><p>Also, please remember that frustrating or not, there is no excuse for poor manners and being rude to each other or to my mods.</p><p>Thank you.</p>
