During the last panel they mentioned being almost 'feature complete', someone with more knowledge about game development could weigh in, but to me that sounds like the window to change most of the major issues that have come up on these forums is mostly closed. A Day/Night Cycle or changing how long rests work, doesn't seem like an aspect of polishing.
What that might mean for the next patch or for the two-year anniversary is a release that has many more of the changes we haven't seen that they've finally settled on or it could mean very little as we go into the pre-release era.
There might be more aspects of the story that they open up as they want more people to try and break the game, but that sounds really optimistic.
