What do people think is going to be in this "big patch"? Do people really think it'll all be solved by a mythical "big patch"?
So far, in the sixteen months since release, CLoD has repeatedly taken two steps forward and two steps back. Has anyone got any evidence at all of an all singing, all fixing patch coming along? We are at present testing another Alpha of the game engine remember? This re-write was giving, according to the devs, an at least fifty per cent performance increase!
I think we are kidding ourselves if we think CLoD's problems can be fixed by this team with one big patch. 'Gonna be a lot more patching, a lot more tearing out of the hair and a lot more angst on this forum before they get the game engine into a shape that makes the release of any sequel a viable proposition.

Agreed, though I would say its two steps forward, one step back. The game runs much better by now and a lot of things have been fixed already in the bigpicture.
Anyways, expecting the "magic" patch is a bit much. This will be done step by step with some greater and some smaller fixes.
If they fix the broken trees and actually make the coms work propperly, then there the basics we need are covered. Everything else will make the game even "better".
