Question to CCP Saberwing: Will the patch notes this time actually have the full patch notes? Because this game seems to be severely lacking if full stats. Like, REs are sticky or very many other changes that were made this patch that were not included in the notes

We (Community) compile patch notes from the various Dev teams a few weeks prior to Deployment. Sometimes, things are added in subsequent to that point which require no additional changes to the client (server-side, 'hot fixed') - which could explain some of what you're saying. Also, it's possible that some smaller changes can slip through the cracks and the teams might forget to send over the changes to us. We'll do our best though! :)

And yet some people call you "stealth nerfers" and "ninja buffers". People just don't know how hard is to go from team to team and get them to write EVERYTHING they changed... I can't even comprehend how hard it is to keep track of what you changed in game for every single damn patch.

Appreciated, Saber o7.

They should release them either the Day of, and be consistent with this, or release them at most 2 days in advance to get any last minute feed back. And prepare for a hotfix the day after release. But hey, they don't have me as their PR or Release manager. If they did, they'd be winning! lol except they usually release notes ahead of time like in EVE, because when people dont know ahead of time in EVE, they end up getting screwed, losing months of focus because they were unprepared, and then they get mad and yell at CCP and etc etc etc. most fo teh mroe successful patches and balacning passes were with MONTHS of open discussion on what is changed where in a public thread for the playerbase

Appreciated, Saber o7. geeze, back in high school, i was taking engineering courses. now, i had been in the same class, with the same people, learning and doing the same thing, for 4 years. we kept highly detailed notes, hell, half our grade was subject to the accuracy of our notes. so senior year end project comes out, im fiddling with an arm on our robot for about a week that isnt working right. I ask our head programmer if he changed anything, he goes "yeah, i made some changes to the code were using" and im like "okay, what did you change so i can fix the errors were getting here?", his response, his FREAKIN response "oh, i didnt write it down". queue waiting 2 weeks for the programming team to dig through over 5 MILLION lines of poorly written clusterfuck code between the new and old files looking for what is changed. team-projects suck, even mroe so when people keep on working on changed after hadning people a list of what was changed...
