Couldn't have put it better myself. This game needs more love, it looks like the Developers do care to make a decent game, I'm moving on to Eve waiting for 4th Dec update with the wasd controls and Thera, looks interesting. Sorry, I give up after nearly 4 years I am out, poor balancing is really poor, we all know why.

• There was a blog this month about a patch, but if that's the only thing that we can post about then there is no reason to post a monthly report, and I would just repeat myself.

• The promise wasn't about a blog coming exactly on the 15th of every month, just about an attempt to post about anything that we're working on at least once every month.

• If you made up a "blog schedule" for yourself based on the last one, you're in for a disappointment. This isn't exact science, since we don't have monthly development cycles either.

• Some features take a longer time to develop and since experience has shown us that posting half-informations makes everything just worse, we're posting stuff when we feel that it's ready for the public.

You are right, I misinterpreted your previous statement in a blog.
"That’s all for now, and I’ll try to make these reports a monthly thing, promised." -Sept. 2014 blog
I take it at your word that you will try.  However, it is likely others will not.

I honestly didn't mean for this to be another thread of airing grievances.  I literally just wanted to see a blog with stuff to get optimistic about.
Then perhaps others would have hope for future features, rather than dwelling in dissatisfaction with the current ones, or most recent.
I get the PR-sword can cut both ways if you promise too much, but its better than nothing.  It should be an opportunity to control the dialog about where the game is going.  It seems the community, when left to their own devices, post images of sinking ships (not attractive for new or returning players).

Sorry to me looks like:

9-13
10-15
11-14

I dont see any bad about this.

There is no status report for the month of November , just a blog about a balancing patch that has made most players dissatisfied with the way the balancing was approached, with a very short time frame to give feedback before it went live.

There is no need to post a blogs about new up coming updates all the time. It could have been about the reaction of the most recent patch and the reasoning behind the changes or maybe about the progress made on recent development of the PVE changes or whatever you are working on.

Yes, I monthly progress report. What stuff are you doing or have been doing during the last month?, is not so much to ask. Limit Theory does DAILY reports and it's only ONE guy.

Keep it honest, we all know development does not go always as planned. I know you might hit a bump in the road here and there, *** happens on all games.

I get what you're asking for, but comparing us to Limit Theory is a bit unfair. If we had the freedom of not having to deal with an active playerbase/trying to figure out what the smallest change could mean for this active world/fixing unexpected stuff/providing support then we could obviously just focus on development and reporting about it and not care about anything else.

Yes, anyone complaining is an active playerbase

I appreciate the reply, then again I am not asking for daily reports either.

It's always someone else's fault.

Also tho he is one guy ... totally not the same thing as your small team

True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds, 
The rest of you guys are Hacks

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?
