Words are cheap, as has been demonstrated over the month of October. And every time the discord in the community has reached fever-pitch, we've been treated to fine words, such as now.
I think that is a reasonable concern because unless these latest words are followed up by action, we might be at the start of another cycle of misinformation.
For example, for the last week or so, I was the impression that the hold-up was with the publisher. Apparently not, as it is back in QA before -- implying it was RETURNED to the developer to fix and then resubmit.
So, Anton addressed this board on 10/26, blaming the hold-up on the publisher and whining that they were making the patch out of their own money. So, we're supposed to believe that in a week, the patch was returned to them by the publisher, they fixed it, and now it is back in QA?
That makes no sense to me.

My post of "AWESOME!" was being mocked so I *mildly* mocked back, welcome to the internets. Anyway yeah words are cheap, and I agree its a reasonable concern but I'm not as pessimistic because I think this is consistent with what Anton said previously. Last week he said that the patch was held up because of network issues with the PS3 and was with the publisher. Its reasonable to extrapolate that the pub has sent it back to Q&A to have those issues fixed and things are moving, albeit maddeningly slowly, consistently with what Anton has said and I think thats cause for optimism. Besides this forum needs some optimism, for the last two days almost every thread has been a battle btw optimists and pessimists (and a few trolls); its getting tiresome. Also we have been promised something definite: big news next week. Thats not as good as the patch itself, but its not silence and its not an announcement of the patch being dropped, after some dark days and people leaving the game, anything positive to me is cause for celebration. BoP ain't dead yet!
