While I understand what you're saying and such, I also find myself disagreeing. Yes, I cannot make a difference as to what they're working on, but I'd like to know what to look forward to regardless. If nothing else than to boost my patience-meter and not wipe CLoD off my disks until it's in a more playable state than it currently is.

Can 1C become better in the field of dev-to-Player communication? Of course they can. Yet I find myself understanding why they don't bother, since any and every single post by Luthier finds him under fire for just about any- and everything. If they say they're working on the sounds, people will wail about the flightmodels. If they work on performance-issues, people will wail about the AI. So regardless of what they do, they're damned and will come under fire. Some will say that such is the life of a software-dev, but seriously, can you blame them for not communicating when all they get is a deluge of sewage and manure coming in at mach 4-speeds horizontally?
