Well that might be all nice for you, but what about all those other people who buy the game and dont have net access or dont know about this forum and the broken skill, many people enjoy playing Rogue/Thief and picking locks can be a cool thing to do. I usually play Rogue/Thief and started one of my characters as a Survivor but after finding the broken lock pick skill the game seemed more of a Hack and Slash. So for some the impact can be major, a major flaw in the game that lowers the fun factor for many players, for me, the impact was anything but minimal.
I know that it can be difficult at times, but we could try to stay on topic a bit. The initial question that was asked in this thread is:
So does any1 know when 1.46 will be done or is 1.45 bugless enuff?
My suggestion to that person, not to you, was to play the game now and not hang around waiting for another patch. I still believe that that is good advice. Since, out of the hundreds of chests in the game, you could count the number of chests that cannot be opened on one hand (and still have fingers left over), making your remarks specious at best and inciting at worst.
Sure, lockpick should have worked from the get-go. But it didn't, and luckily it is one skill that is easy to live without.
