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

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.

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. Please fix the mic bubble bug...
