I agree that players will stop reading if you update your game with too many small irrelevant updates. However, I'm not talking about Larian uploading a small patch every 2 weeks that all owners of the game see, I'm suggesting twitter or other social media posts to mention and discuss possible changes. The people who are paying attention to Larian's twitter or these forums will mostly be the very invested players who "crave every bit of news," while the "average player" can wait until the big patches. It's the best of both worlds.

Maybe, and gamers are notoriously a fickle lot. But (as you mention) people are already disappointed and angry with the months of radio silence; more regular communication would probably have better reception than what it is now. The important thing here that Larian announces what they've currently been working on (not what they plan on working on) and they discuss their reasoning behind investigating any change and follow up in future patch notes/twitter posts.

I agree that announcement of announcement of announcement will not go over well. But Larian is getting close to already doing this. The most recent hotfix was an announcement of an upcoming announcement about telemtry/feedback, which still hasn't actually come to pass. Hopefully this Panel from Hell will include that, but I'm skeptical they can fit that discussion and patch notes and the LARPing and the probably gameplay in the same show.
