Because we have been patient. We have stuck it out. We know this is a beta. It's a serious beta. And do you know what helps get projects out of beta and on the street?
Communication
If CCP doesn't have enough staff to post some word on the forums about what's happening, why downtimes get extended, what's going on with game breaking bugs and how we are doing on the beta, then perhaps things are even worse than they seem
We get weekley updates if you bothered searching. Plus the irc that's always available. Give your head a shake. Ire, I damn well know about the 'weekly updates' we get from Cdr Wang because I begged, pleaded, whine cajoled and posted until they started If you consider what he is posting to be adequate, timely and sufficient then you are welcome to ignore my continuous requests to CCP for more info I, however, do not feel thatccp is doing a good enough job keeping the beta community in the loop. And I will continue to remind them of that until they ban me for asking
While I agree it could be better communication, not many games ever have the amount of communication you're talking about.
Part of the reason is until Sony QA gets a look at the items they want to add to the update, tests them and gives the ok, even CCP won't know what is going to be on the patch notes. I know this sounds crazy but this is how its goes with a Sony tie in game like Dust. I know I worked for Sony and DCUO and had this conversation for two years.
Basically CCP gives QA a long, long list of items that will be added, fixed or what ever. Then QA goes line by line to see if its ok, then test it. But they go 1 item at a time and what ever they don't get to does not get added to this update. So while CCP knows what they have done and could offer that list to us, if QA does not get to all of the items then a ton of you will whine about " you said this was going to be in this next build" (yes OP im looking at you) and QQ in the forums, which looks worse then if they just waited got the correct list of whats going to be in the patch notes and give us a proper update.
So get off your stupid high horse of know it all BS and fraking relax, patch notes will be coming soon and so will the update.
Stop acting like spoiled little brats and grow a pair. Go outside while it still nice, see that big glowing thing in the sky its called the sun, when was the last time you saw it..
