@Niara you're missing the 2nd biggest piece of news from this dev blog: a rough date! Patch 9 will be in December.
And I'll just put this here
We will be back soon with a larger community update, that goes into some detail about how we process & parse feedback and data we get through talking with you, and the telemetry we have in the game. ‘Til then, sit tight!
(We never got this update)
Ideally this Patch 9 PfH+Community Update will not only "go into detail about some of the most discussed topics in the community," but will also discuss a bit about *how* Larian turns such feedback into tested/implemented mechanics. Why they decided to go with X, or why not, providing info on how they made a good faith effort to accommodate various feedback requests and reasonable explanations for their final decision. I'll keep my hopes low, though.
