Lack of Patch Notes. What's the deal?

This is the second patch that had 0 notes. I'm concerned. What's the deal? Why haven't there been patch notes? Do we really need to go and check everything in case of stealth nerfs like other Perfect World games?

    Last couple maintenance have just been server restarts, no actual patch.

    To clarify: The only changes in the past few patches have been adding items to the C-Store.

    Speaking of which, I used to be access the C-Store from the Forums by one click. Now if I want to see what's new in the C-Store, I'm not even sure how to get there (short of logging into the game). This seems like a step backwards.

    I came here to say this.

    There's a button up top... it's just blended into the dark background you can't see :p

    I would've NEVER found that button if someone hadn't pointed it out.

    This new layout needs a rework. Like, ASAP.

    I actually have no button in Chrome, except for the link that goes to the Arc homepage. I switched to IE and saw it after you mentioned it.

    You can't see it when you're in a thread.

    Just to verify, does everyone have this garbage at the top of their screen?

    I'd like to see more info on updates, I get that Cryptic can't tell us everything going on, but even the "it's just a restart" seems... I dunno... off? I get the need to reset things weekly, but is Cryptic seriously not making any progress with bug fixes or anything on live that week at all? I find that a tad hard to believe.

    I understand that the Z Store stuff isn't announced as a patch note, they do get their own news posts after all, but I'd like to know when there have been tailor changes, or tweaks in other bug repairs that don't have anything to do with new content, just so that we see things are still getting looked at, rather than having to fish for it ourselves or hear from other players that stumbled across it.

    When we don't announce patch notes, generally all the work that week went into either C-Store updates, or future content. (In this case, we've spent the past two months working on the Rampage Revamp.) There aren't any ninja fixes, except for the rare instances where something slips through.

    Makes sense, thanks for the clarification TT.

    Can't see it in a thread?!

    Really lousy design for the forums. It makes it slightly harder to make a purchase, to spend money.
    How can that be a good thing for the game?
