But they can still slip in little tweaks after the final testing phase - just because the most recent test patch notes don't mention PLing your avatar in the MA will now turn your costume white with red spots, doesn't mean to say they haven't slipped it in just before they applied the patch |

Seriously, though, they don't "slip in little tweaks after the final testing phase." Whatever's on Test is what's going to go live. Now, if there were exploit fixes on Test they wouldn't have put those in the patch notes, true, but they don't "slip" stuff in without it being on Test first.

Well, they could also remove stuff too - like if something wasn't working as intended, they might decide to drop it from the latest build and put it back on Test for a bit until they got it right.

But that would take another patch to do it and another patch note on Test which would let us know what's coming Live.

So now you think ppl seriously should keep track of the latest test server patches? Seriously? I don't even consider it worth a proper reply you know!

Whatever happened to "server stability updates"?
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Here are the patch notes for today: Patch Notes
Typically they won't post the official patch notes until after the patch is officially applied. They do this just in case something surprising comes up and they end up not being able to apply the patch. That seems to be pretty standard practice for most software companies to not give a full detailed list of an update until its officially out the door. It prevents the people from complaining about 'But you said this would do this and now it doesn't'. You may get some hints on what's in it, like for us its a safe bet that the last patch notes from the test server are what is going on live, but if it failed on the test server, something may not get it.

Yes, I was surprised at them removing level 10 Scrappers from the game too - were they bugged in some way?

I have to agree here. I did a count of all my characters on Virtue and sorted them out, and I ended up with 19 scrappers. My next highest AT is controller with 9. I think I need to make another scrapper to make it an even number!
