Do you have any plans to return yo the monthly release cycle after 1.8 finally comes? I personally much prefer it of 3+ months even if a release only has bug fixes and other small improvements.
Please fix the mic bubble bug...

Sure couple month intervals are fine but there has to be something delivered.. This game has woooork to do before September launch of Destiny to retain playerbase.
This has actually been one of my least favourite builds. To me when there is a major balance issue with a gun or vehicle I think it should be fixed in a hot fix not months later. I'd rather see small bandaids as soon as possible and then proper fixes in the next major release. Same with bug issues. I.e. Fatal errors people get, dare I say the mic bubble bug? All these seem to not be ranked in the priority that I personally believe they should be. Heck, maybe I'm wrong but to me it seems we players are stuck with really frustrating balance issues for to long of periods.

All these seem to not be ranked in the priority that I personally believe they should be. Heck, maybe I'm wrong but to me it seems we players are stuck with really frustrating balance issues for to long of periods. I could deal with balance issues for a patch period aslong as they showed competency in fixing it... 9 months of history has left a bitter taste in most peoples mouths. Tanks are a good recent example, Buffing and reworking all the tanks while lazily nerfing the AV and not even reworking its price with the new tank prices. The buffing something while nerfing something in the same field therefore creating a double buff in nearly every Balance attempt in Uprising has shown their ability to address core balance issues even with a few months of working on a patch such as 1.7. So yes hotfixing and changing small thing's and then testing it for a week might be the best answer given their strengths and weaknesses as developers. Though probably not even possible currently with how they have it setup but it should of been on the top of the mind while designing the mechanics. Hotfixing balance issues in a persistent skill base matchmaking game will always be something needed and shouldn't of been a surprise.
I fully agree they have a horrible track record at fixing balance issues. This is why a hot fix to slowly adjust one thing at a time until it us fixed would hopefully given them better odds of success then doing to much at once.

I personally would prefer more frequent updates. Either way I don't think perfect balance is the issue as much as it's about fixing OP weapons/vehicles within a few weeks of the issue being identified. Everyone playing right now knows what weapons/vehicles are complete BS. CCP should put a fix in place, I don't think any of us would care if it's a temporary fix or permanent fix, as long as it doesn't **** us off for three months.
I would also think clear communication about their targeted schedule should be communicated from the start until the release. If it's delayed let us know and let us know the new ETA. Instead we have no idea if the monthly release schedule is dead or if it's just this once due to excessive holidays or some other reason.
The mic bubble bug... I yield, CCP will be fixing it SOON. Current ETA 1 year since bug

If they communicated claerly, we would actually hold them to it. They don't want that. CCP does not want to provide information about the dev plan because they don't have a real one. There is no long term plan to get this game to what we could call complete, or a release worthy version. I am here to take notes on how not to develop a game.
That must be one big set of notes you have there!
I don't need to know the long term plan. It would be as simple as making a sticky thread for the next release and setting the current eta on it there with the rough game plan. I don't care if it changes every week. At least their would be less guessing and some transparency.
