People have to remember that luthier is a dev, not a community specialist.
They're working hard on the game, and are just ignoring the forum temporarily, mostly because 1/2 the threads are much like "more communication", "when's the next patch??", "ROF is better" etc etc
Sometimes communities need to calm down, and trust the developer. When they come on once a week to say "We're still here, and we're working overtime on the game and wont be on forums much", it means exacly that.
As luthier said, they're working 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week. He said he just cannot keep up with this forum and work on the game like that at the same time.
They've said they're going to get a community manager to help out here. I've seen many a-devteam who cannot keep up with their forums, and they're mostly small, indie developers. For teams like that, a community manager is a must.
1C are definantly working hard and have already put out more patches than some companies put out on their games in it's lifetime. Just have some trust in the developer, and perhaps, maybe, you will get something in return
