I wonder what does it mean for us, no matter how hard i think, it seems to me that we can expect 2, maximaly 3 more patches. O_o
So either one will be really juicy ...
Or at least one class will be quite surprising. :-/
We don't have access to dev-build. I am not a programmer, but from what I understand something like Early Access build, is a seperate build of the game - so Larian likely move stuff they want players to have access to over from dev-build and don't work in Early Access build day to day. I remember during Pillars of Eternity2 pre-release beta, there was a feeling that devs didn't respond to some community feedback, while in reality it has been addressed, just not ported over to Early Access build. I don't expect new systems to suddenly appear, but hopefully Larian has stuff to "wow" us with on release.
When it comes to patches to EA, I don't expect for any of those to bring pre-release build to release state - I expect the biggest jump in quality and content to be when 1.0 drops on release date. I also expect that there will be lack of any updates for months leading to release - generally devs tend to take long breaks from updating EA and focus on wrapping up 1.0. Assumptiong that Larian will keep 4months schedule leading up to release is optimistic. I would expect for at least one or two updates long wait before 1.0.
