Thank you all for your letter and feedback regarding the state of the game and your thoughts of Campfire Games.

We're not sure and we're not sure what issues you think we might have ? (crashing bushes ? password & joining issues ? TAB menu not being correct, 'ingame voice' broken, CPU & internet connection being strained .... )

The upside of this is that the update is posed to be the biggest one released to the game since the Early Access launch.
Don't get us wrong, some of us who worked in IT know the impact of even little changes or patches .. can be all fine or it can go awfully wrong.
I get you don't want to give an ETA cause you don't want to be pinned down, but plz give us some 'dev diary' or something or what are the 'issues' or what thinks are progressing. (no we're not asking for bodycams or whereabouts, GDPR you know )
I know some people in this community have some 'inside info' or have a better standing with the devs, personally I don't care about that.
On arty : some here believe it's some magical solution to the fatigue and loss of interest some have, for their sakes I hope so ... but it think it's a short term vision.

I'm pretty sure you read and respond to a lot of the things, but I prefer to have a list of community suggestions and to be clearly stated what is possible and not. Cause now there are a lot of posts/suggestions being drowned in a pool of text. -->
will save time on suggesting and reading same things all over again.
Like I said before -> this community isn't the best at coming together (this letter is kinda of exceptional), it usually comes down to threads with great suggestions and some people not agreeing and not much happening.

Reachable yes ... fully agree on. But don't think that was the issue posed.

They have been, for the past few year

Since people are writting open letters for a better communication & asking for and updated report on progress, it's because they care. Lot of the 'longtime' players I've been speaking to are fatigued or are looking into other games. Which is worrying, it's not like the holdfast situation. It's your hardcore players, day 1 believers who have doubts
