Sounds great, sadly it's not as simple as opening up a document in Word.

but is as easy as saving an image of the server.

Though I definately sympathize, what if you spent that 1 day before the patch notes were released? It would have been the same problem, right?

I waited for the dev blog to be released before spending the points.

well, don't spend all your EP into something that you your your corp, or any1 on the forums propagates as absolutely imbalanced.

Thats not only true for a night before a patch, because changes to something like that can happen at any time, without any announcements at all.

though, i still dont know what you have skilled, but i guess it has something to do with repair and ERP...


Ictus > ERP  and that's not the only way to beat them.
Also lets see the post where I said ERPs were imbalanced.

Unfortunately releasing patch notes way before the actual patch is currently technically not possible. The reason is that we only have one development server and one live server. If we would release the full patch notes a week before the patch, that would mean one week of twiddling our fingers and not getting any real developing done. We would need an intermediate step to make the idea possible, likely in the form of a public test server.


You have your server and that is where you guys make changes and test them you have to have copies saved at different points in case something messes up. So I see no reason why you can't save the time when the server is ready with the new patch release notes. Keep working on new stuff for 2-3 days. Ok time for patch day save you point and reload the already saved patch from 3 days ago and copy over to main. Then reload where u were?

Next time don't spend EP the night before patch.


They release a blog the night before with the changes. No where did it say btw this is half of the changes going in tomorrow.

The point of the thread is to get the patch notes out sooner with all the changes not to get my EP back.

After reading last night blog I went on with my plans for pvp only to wake up today and find out that the 30k EP I spent last night is now useless. I'm not going into what I spent it on and why just trust me I will never use the things I got with that EP on that toon now. A huge number of changes hit today that weren't in the blog. So what do I do now? Reset my toon and lose a ton of EP or just let the 30k EP be useless, either way I lose a lot of EP. My point is why can't we get patch notes a few days ahead of time? What's going to happen? People buy up all of something that is going to get buffed. So what, whoever logs on first after the patch will do the same thing.
