I can't speak for everyone but previous streams didn't go well because we had no ETA for Archaeology AND no ETA for anything else. Players had nothing to look forward to or when to expect something.
Off the back of a year where we had months with no updates I'm sure you can see how demotivating it is to some players when it's happening yet again. This could be an issue the stems from the Road Map. If it is, I highly recommend more frequent small/medium updates over infrequent large updates.
Of course, having sparse information is never going to feel good. All I can offer is reassurance that this won’t be the state forever, or for very long at all. It’s taken me a while to adjust myself, because my instinct is to talk a lot and often. I would also like to say that the time spent on Archaeology absolutely can be seen in game. I don’t want to overhype unnecessarily, but it’s got so much care in it.
