This (and the other fixes) are still coming, it finally has a release date, I cannot share that with you due to expectations setting of course but I can say that we're still good for Q1.

I totally get the frustration of time from teaser to release but you have to take in to account that this bunch of fixes were shown while they were in active development and the road from there to release is longer than you may expect. It's a round of polish, 2 rounds of QA and on top of that finding a hole in the release schedule for it to fit in. You have to take in to account that I yolo'd these fixes in December with no planned release date on them and they have to fit in alongside whatever else is actually planned.

That all said, I am super excited to see you guys using it :D

Sadly that's not how releases work in software. Each thing added to a release requires time from multiple teams to support it. It also adds a level of risk to each update and we can only support so much risk and keep the game stable.

Due to this it needs a wait for a "hole" it can slot in to.

Thanks for the response. With the way you called out "you don't have to ask for this anymore", it sounded like it was already crunching through the QA, not still being in active development.

But great to hear it's still aimed at Q1

Ha, no. That comment was in reference to me saying that we wont turn auto-retaliate on for area looting for years as the player moving and closing the interface was too disruptive. It was meant to be a joke around how often i'd get asked it. 99% of the time if I sound like that, it's a joke of some sort.
