I think it's the incessant 'carrot dangling' that is causing more frustration than the actual wait. Whilst we all crave (and deserve) updates on the state of the new patch I feel that it's not a good or fair tactic to promise an imminent release for what has now been far too long a time.

I personally am happy to wait but I can see why people are getting wound up over the delay and the way it has been handled. I also think that the devs have to be very careful if they want their next release to be welcomed with open arms by those of us that still want to see CloD playable and to include the promised features.

I find it hard to believe that the devs are considering leaving CloD in a half finished state to concentrate their efforts on the next release, although I do realise that decision may not be totally under their control. Can they be trusted to give long term support to the next release? Do they expect people to blindly purchase the next release after the fiasco of CloD? Reading a lot of the comments on here over the last week or so I'd say that for many the trust is waning or no longer there. and that can only hurt the sales of any future releases.

I'd really like to see CloD completed to an acceptable standard first. For me, any future purchases depend on whether that happens or not.
