My apologizes PSU if this is not the correct place to post this, I was not sure where it would fit in. Please move it if needed.

With Game Update 2 quickly approaching I want to remind the SOE team to
include full, detailed patch notes this time.
When Game Update 1 came out the
patch notes did not list multiple significant changes that the players had to discover on their own.
Please include:
- All gameplay changes in detail
- All bug fixes
- All cosmetic changes / additions
- All things done for optimization
- Overall any changes made that will be seen for the first time by your playerbase
The only thing I'll give you a pass on is anti-cheat measures as those should not be public for obvious reasons.
The more detail, the better. If your patch notes are 4 pages long then I say good job. If you are worried about confusing your players, then post a summary of the notes prior to the detailed version. I don't care how you do it, but please make the details public.
This is a win-win for SOE and the players. With detailed patch notes:
- SOE will have a comprehensive list in one place of everything changed (I bet you already have this...just make it public)
- A historical record of the game changes will be created in detail so future players can go back and see how far the game has progressed.
- Players will actually SEE all the work the devs are doing which should quiet the winers a bit.
- Players will be fully informed which coincides with your recent player interaction philosophy.
I have been impressed with the changes listed in the hotfix threads over the last month and I have no reason to think that it will not continue with the game update 2 notes...
I just want to remind you so we do not have to make
threads like this.
