Most are on vacation, until August 4th. The release was moved back a couple times and holidays delayed until after the patch.
Well, August 4th has arrived. I do not in any way expect a patch today, or even this week, if everyone just got back from vacation. That would be absurd and ridiculous to expect such a thing. But it would be nice if the Devs could post a quick update to their twitter page, or even here on the forums, giving some information on what the team is currently going to be working on throughout the next couple of weeks. I know you (Raze) said the Dev team were aware and working on the performance issues, so an update regarding how much work is needed to fix these issues would be nice.
