Could you post that on the news page, might stem some of the conspiracy theorising? Any details on the changes to tram? I noticed the commander view was very obscured over the observation area by some external part of the map in b230.

It just doesn't seem like you guys appreciate how important the changelog is to people. It may not seem important to you because you already know exactly what changed, but this is the only visibility we have into what's happening to the game. And how come it takes so long? I would honestly prefer that the patch be delayed until the changelog is ready. Though I don't see why that's necessary since I'm assuming the build has been finished for at least a couple hours before it ships out... Right?
Also, if a patch is so trivial that it doesn't need a proper changelog that's fine, but it still needs a news post. Servers need to be restarted and people want to know what the heck they just downloaded.

Thanks Charlie, and Max for coming in and clarifying to us what 231 was about.
I think a lot of us are very curious when these patches start downloading, but it was especially odd because there was absolutely no mention of any release via the Twitter feed, or anywhere else. Most of us would probably be satisfied with, and appreciate a quick post or message, even if it was nothing more than simply "b231 hotfix for tram out."

Thanks for the info, good to know.

edit:
Sorry, this post was pointless.
You mean Halloween right? *Bah Dum Pish*

I hope everyone has a great holiday though!
