Wow, some people are really not getting it.
1. You've paid for a license to install and play the game as it is, nothing more.
2. You do not have any right to get updates, information or anything.
3. Demanding and nagging for something that you have no right to becomes annoying for everyone, including the developers.
Luthier have realized that a vocal minority will never be satisfied, in fact they seem to get more rabid for each new piece of info they get instead of the other way around.
Confronted with this it is quite understandable that he has stopped communicating with the community.
So thanks to the whiners for ruining the excellent developer-community relationship for the rest of us!
And let me as, why do you all need to get constant and scheduled information updates?
Do you need it to plan your life or something?
You will likely get information when a patch is ready. That accompanied by the statement from Luthier that they are working, should be enough for a mature individual to just let go and wait.
It's like some of you keep a child-before-christmas feeling of anticipation just under the surface and that it torments you as you have to hold it in... just let go of that and try to not think about it
