I wish they could at least say what Patch 3 will entail or the timeline for a new class
Larian never did an announcement for patches, they hardly tell us what's there gonna be until something is nearly done. This is a common tactic - if you need to cut something out, no one really is mad at you because no one knows about it in the first place
Everyone would love to see some update but EA is only for one month - this is not much - I'm sure that patch is close, but it still could be like 2-3 weeks.
This is my assumption as well. I assume they just don't want to commit to anything that isn't a done deal, which is more than fair. I just don't understand why not say it explicitly.
You should ask yourself why nothing seems to be "a done deal" so that it can be announced.
