This was under the hood stuff that didn't affect gameplay at all. But it was something we needed to get out to give us some more flexibility to do server side patches that won't require more client side patches for simple quick fixes. Thus no patch notes.

But on the flip side, when we do an update that doesn't affect gameplay, we still get sh*t on. So it's really damn if you do, damn if you don't. So at this point, we want give meaningful updates. If there is a patch w/o update, just expect it to more under the hood things that we are setting up for future content. We will absolutely update you with the smallest update that affects gameplay. We never intend to stealth a fix/update things that change the way you play. I will be the first to say that we HAVE missed an update that should have been in a full patch notes update. But we're only human. Hope you understand that. It just hard for a lot of other guys here from the studio to post when they always get scrutinize for everything, no matter the how good the intent is.

I completely agree with you that is still a bit too powerful for me and we had a talk about it this morning. But we are going to give it a week before we decide what we are going to do for the "rifle". I wont say what we spoke of, but you have already touched on things that are in witch cauldron right now. But all needs to go through testing and what feels right for the weapon before we push another update (which should now be server side!). But if we do do a change for that weapon, I will be passing off info to mods to post appropriately.
