I'm also waiting for Patch 6, so I long for more communication. Right now, I feel like Larian underestimates us. As if they think we're not capable of handling the truth, so they say "soon" instead of leveling with us and saying flat out: it's looking like it's gonna take a couple weeks.
I'm sure there'd be groans, but we can handle hearing that. It's a heck of a lot better than checking in every day, hoping, an then getting disappointed all over again, day after day. At this point, I feel like "soon" is a little insulting.

Regarding how Larian takes their feedback, this is something I wonder about. How many people actually post here on these forums, on a regular basis? I feel like I keep seeing the same names over and over again. There can't be *that* many people here giving feedback. Compared to say, something like Youtube, where individual channels can get enormous numbers of comments, both in live chats and in the comment fields. I imagine Larian is probably taking a lot of feedback from those comments, if only because there's *so* many of them.
And surely Larian's taking feedback from how people are actually playing the game. Kind of a passive level of feedback, right?
Which leaves this place. Sure, there's probably more depth to the feedback here, but I don't know that it's inherently more useful to Larian than other sources they have at their disposal.
