The patch's purpose is to provide a necessary hotfix to improve the gameplay, so the sooner it goes live the better.
Nothing wrong in being surprised.

But the game did a pretty long time in closed beta, and we are in 2017: nowadays games publishers usually announce their plains for further expansion or dlc very long time before the release. So, nothing will be unusually if they announce something like an expansion or some new cards, or some new game modality. For Example i play on a PS4 and i can't play vs any of my friends... yet...

Please consider this, because 1 day notice before a major patch is not a user-friendly policy. For a non-hotfix update, about a week prior notice will be greatly appreciated. Even a simple "the patch is happening sometime next week" would be enough if you haven't nailed the exact details yet.
I'd also like to comment on how the transition into Public Beta was handled on the information front, where the 1 week notice was simply insufficient for such a milestone event, making it seem a bit rushed.
I understand that the company's cautious to not commit to something, then having to delay, but the quality of the games you've produced and keep producing is proof that, when such a thing happens it is a necessity. I believe that were this to happen again it would met with understanding from the community, which has come to trust your open and honest communication. Please don't move away from that.
Regarding everything else - keep doing what you're doing.
I don't see what's the problem with a patch soon after the stream. What do you exactly need, spiritual preparation? The sooner the balance patch comes the better. Consider that a lot of people are refraining from opening kegs (to get a full list of the nerfed cards) and some have even stopped playing to avoid hitting level 20 and risk getting a leader as a legendary reward.nhk3;n8850070 said:Hey CDPR, love the work you guys are doing, but if you intend to announce on Monday's stream that the patch is happening on Tuesday, it is simply not OK.

If this type of deck becomes uncompetitive after the patch, then the other cards beside the nerfed ones will also become useless. In other words, I can only get refunded with D-Protector, Ithlinne but not with Aglais, Schirru as well as a bunch of other special cards that serve the spelling deck.
