The problem is that the regular update process goes something like this:

Luthier: Update!

Rabble: Luthier, you are the greatest!

2 hours later

Rabble: Luthier, why didn't you mention X.

4 hours later

Rabble: Luthier didn't mention X because they don't realize it's a problem.

6 hours later

Rabble: Luthier didn't mention X because they don't know how to fix it.

12 hours later

Rabble: Luthier didn't mention X because he doesn't respect us!!

16 hours later

Rabble: Luthier, you suck!!!!

24 hours later:

Rabble: Luther, when are you going to give us an update???

Well, the updates are not that regular, not that i mind however, if there's nothing new to say (eg, when something is complete) or there are changes to announce (say for example, the roadmap is revised because they decide to fix things in a different sequence) there is nothing to announce in an update apart from what we got today ("we're working on such and such, things are progressing this way, thanks").

However, the rest of the post is actually a pretty accurate take on things and i couldn't help but laugh a bit while reading it.

Despite the fact that i don't necessarily agree with a lot of what you usually say, mostly how you say it actually, on the forums in general, this post is the best and most accurate summary of 1st page posts during the past few months.

I'm pretty sure that by "regular" he meant "usual", not "regularly scheduled".

EDIT: As I'm not entirely sure whether the two responses below interpreted this post correctly, I was referring to the sentence in the quote above me that reads "the regular update process goes something like this:". Blackdog's "the updates are not that regular" indicates that he interpreted the word in the usage of scheduling. I was simply trying to clear that up by bringing the other usage to attention. (the one I believe was intended)

Personally I have a neutral but optimistic view of the current state of the game and the updates, though like many others I'd be happier if communication would improve. I do not, however, painstakingly go through each word of any update trying to glean extra information and go around making assumptions based on that.

He might have meant "regularly scheduled". Halley's comet is regularly scheduled to come around every 76 years...

I think Luthier probably meant exactly what he said. Which was very little, other than that CloD was still being worked on. That's good enough for me.

The fact that you are trying to parse what I meant by "regular" is EXACTLY why the Luthier updates turn into such a disaster. It was a joke. "Regular" means nothing. Don't try to parse every word that Luthier posts. Every Luthier post can be summed up by 6 words: "we are still working on it".

Thanks for the update, and keep the good mood and the humour indeed, I really don't know how you do: when I read these forums and see some of the finest breed of obsessive trolls that seem to live her perpetually, all the inspiration I get is a giant sigh and facepalm. It's worse than witnessing drivers' behaviour at peak hour in Sydney.
