more dev insights in patch notes

[winter mirage]

The players like to be very involved with balancing, especially with how direct the communication is between players and ct members. Giving us a bit more insight about the why's and how's of it all can help us make our feedbacks not only more constructive, but also more productive.
Whirlwind strike less range? Tell us more!
Lightbender dmg buffs? How interesting!
Ragnarokkr duration nerf? Tell us why!
About five more harder better faster stronger insert ability nodes? what is going on--
Basically anything that clearly tells us the intent behind the changes. I know there can be a lot of them in a single patch, but with how easy it is to just talk about it it'll probably be fine to reserve these explanations for the more notable ones.

Also it'll probably lessen some complaints by being clear about some seemingly unfair nerfs (cough summoner cough).

p.s. basically another dev transparency thread but we really kinda need it

p.p.s. yes i stole this idea from how league does patch notes. you won't have to do the puns

p.p.p.s. the dev blog abt the ability tree is really cool pls make more 🙏

think Xavier was talking about going through each change in a stream or something

[mild python]

xav does this

if we included all the logic for the changes into the log it would be so fucking long

he is probably going to end up talking for hours about it

Added chairs because I think they're cool

@arctic meteor where is the wynncraft battle pass you promised

[arctic meteor]

silverbull subscription 💪

[obtuse anchor]

Excuse me I can’t level up the silverbull subscription

would also like to note that as volunteers we often just don't have the time to do things like this all the time, especially when dealing with angry ppl can be draining

[obtuse anchor]

I wonder if a dedicated “team” for communicating back to the player base would be a good idea

[mild python]

aint noone want to do that for free

hell you couldnt pay me to do that tbh

[paper inlet]

that is truly an awful job especially as a volunteer

even if 199 people are really kind the last one being awful can ruin your whole day

Xavier's gotcha covered with this thread. If you look at his responses he goes very in-depth about these types of things so throwing that all onto the patch notes would've made it absolutely gigantic.

[winter mirage]

ok fair

[winter mirage]

we talking about balance changes-

[light nexus]

and given how posting just a couple of paragraphs in here seems to get you hit with the

keeping stuff short and sweet on the changelog seems to be a priority

[winter mirage]

ok 🥲
