Having to open 3 additional browser windows to be able to read the patch notes is not cool man... not cool...
Agreed. The Patch Notes section is where the notes go, not links to yet another page. Seems rather idiotic to me.
and as always GMT time zone
However the scheduled downtime and the actual downtime are often vastly different. I have seen them come back up as quickly as a half hour and as slow as the full two hours even when the stated downtime is two hours.
Basically my point is that the scheduled downtime isn't necessarily the expected downtime. Simply the time they allot to take the servers down for weekly maintenance. It is highly likely for the servers to come back up long before the stated time.
That pvp content won't be added to the live server for a while yet , that's why it is on Mimic , content for the weekly patch is now on Owlbear for the time being.
The listed stuff is only the things they want us to know about , there's a number of other things they could do during downtime that they would never want to or need to explain to us.
The Preview Shards exist because Cryptic is looking for feedback to tweak and refine the proposed changes. Major changes such as the PvP modifications and the massive changes to the GF will typically be on preview for a few weeks.
It's not a pre-release or whatever you wish to call it. Any balance changes that are on Preview will be there for a decent period of time.
In short, don't hold your breath. The updates will come out but it has only been a week since the updates were proposed.
On a more serious note, behaving like a spoiled child and demanding this balance fix or that balance fix is not only rude it's pointless. You might think it's as easy for a developer as changing some variables and hey presto, your class is fixed. Well it's not. If they change something on one class they often have to compensate for it on other classes so as to not create a new balance issue with your class favoring from it this time.
It takes a long time to tweak, test, tweak, test and tweak classes so that everyone performs as expected while keeping it all balanced across the board. Often what you see as a balance issue is actually more a case of players not understanding class mechanics.
Be patient and be nice. When it's ready you'll get a class update. If you really can't wait then go and play on the test server.
800 MB - they are pre-patching something big to gamefiles, it cant be solely minor bug fixes.
Major changes such as the ones we get with new modules are news worthy but standard patch notes would just clutter the front page with fixes here and there.
Most every, if not every, MMO has the same set up. New releases and major changes are 'news.' Patch notes are a separate archive.
edit: and now I see that there's a direct link in one of the comments. -shaking of fists!- :P
I'm glad to see the constant fixes and balances coming in, even if I don't always understand them at first. Keep it up
Thank you.

The link sometimes sends you right back to the page you were just linked from, It's probably more of an issue with the forum than anything else. It's not a big deal though.

(Sorry for the mis-edit, elusiveonen7, clicked yours instead of mine. Reverted your post back to the way you had it.)

the extra slot after having 5, will we be refunded the zen ?
You need to submit a customer service ticket, but they do seem to have been pretty good about refunding people who misunderstood how it worked.

Right... Except they could just add a edit to the bottom of the main update with each of these mini updates. This way it's not a clustered disorganized mess. Hell it even looks better because it reminds the players all the stuff the dev team has done in the current version.
