Sorry guys for lack of definitive information regarding the patch.
We've been working on it heavly thru the weekend but it is impossible for us to determine wheter we'll be able to release it today, tommorow or on wednesday. But we will certainly do our best so that it does not happen after wednesday (07.08).
For the patch the (extensive) balance / gameplay stuff has already been done, now we are working on nailing as many reported bugs and issues as possible.
We are also implementing one, entirely new feature to it.
Reason for 'delay' is that for example I am sitting in my rl job all-day and I don't know how much I will be able to mod thru the night (cerainly as much possible thou). Same goes for other team-members (we have lives beyond the project you know

).
It will be recommended to launch new game after the patch but compatibility package is going to be added to it so that old playthrus can be continued.
Thank you for your patience and please cope with us as Loner1 has noted. Also thank you for all opinions regarding the project - please keep them comming. "
