You know, people sometimes act like patching is some kind of definitive thing. "Tell us when the next patch will come out." Or whatever. They can't! They literally cannot! Patching is problem solving done by humans. Sure, these Obsidian peeps are good at their job, but if there's a problem that's stumping them, they can't tell you when it'll be solved. They literally can't give you a date. It will always be approximate, as who knows when they'll figure it out?
I think it's enough to give us a few lines like "We're close" or "We're working on it", because that's the best anyone could do.
Keep it up, Obsidian! I'm excited to see what's next for PoE II.
