Some of this stuff is self-inflicted wounds. I believe Larian already answered some of those topics, e.g. re: Day-Night cycle not happening for various reasons.

I agree that it feels kind of bad timing to completely ignore your 2-year anniversary of Early Access only to come a week or so later and ask for community contribution. That post along with some basic acknowledge could have happened on October 6th.

The only thing they did was thinly affirm that the game WILL come out in 2023. Big whoop.

Also, we're not going to know what they decide on as a whole from a massive list. The biggest topics I do believe they're aware of, but I think they have already drawn a line in the sand about and major changed left to do to the game. Even though they have issued statements regarding Reactions, I'm not 100% sure it will be actually successfully re-worked.

At this point, they may say - "We tried to find a suitable adaptation that was both true to 5e and would also create a smooth player experience, but we were unable to do so. We will continue to look into this and address it in any updated editions to the game post-release."

While they DID change more than just backstab advantage (high ground, cantrip surfaces, barrelmancy nerfs, some non-combat spells, Shadowheart's ability points, etc.) they also added more problematic stuff (Wet 2x damage, busted ass items - Lightning Charges, and problematic implementation of some new classes).
