Judging by the softball questions in tonight's livestream, coupled with Trion's absolute silence over the current state of the patch, I get the feeling something went Horribly Wrong in certification for the consoles.

All I have to do right now is contracts, and they can be done within an hour. So many bugs to goals not updating its just not fun at the moment.
Hope patch gets released today or tomorrow or its time for a week off defiance
I agree with this post. Although I can be patient for a day or two, (I'd be more patient if it weren't for the need of the game to produce episode missions that we can play for a week before the tie in episode airs), I did find the PR gymnastics over the patch to be very painful to watch. Not only did they contradict themselves in print and then try to blame fans for misinterpreting what they said, but on the post show live video cast from Trion, they actually said that the big tie in patch for the next episode had actually gone live "today", (Monday). I think this may have been after the same person basically told us we imagined that there was supposed to be a patch Monday.
Just be honest. Honesty should be the rule anyway, but you definitely can't get away with lapses to that rule when your words are in print or on video for all to witness.
IMO They don't have any idea what is going on with their game either, after planning to nerf weapons due to pvp whiners without even looking at their pve side (Detonators, rocket launchers and now infectors), Hellbugs are already way to damn annoying to kill, nerfing Ground Pounder and Mass Cannons is just going to make them worse imo. Not to mention infector nerfs.. really? fracking really?!? they are already one of the worse weapons in the game, and your going to nerf them more due to a few idiots in pvp using them? come on now, if anything infectors need a BUFF not a nerf. Also Trion for the love of the goddess, can you please have seperate base stats on weapons for pve and pvp modes, and have the game switch between them when you go from pve to pvp, the fact you can increase a pistols clip size when going from pve to pvp is more than adequite proof that you can do this, so fix all the weapons you nerfed unneededly in pve for the pvp side (again rocket launchers detonators and soon infectors).
As it is over half of the weapon types in the game are pretty much worthless due to not doing even remotely comparable damage to assault rifles. Namely the VBI-TACC line (shoots a 3 round burst with each button press, base damage is like 370 per hit, so 370x3 per button press and it has a really high refire).
They also need to improve arkfall rewards, because half the time I waste 30+ mins to help clear a large arkfall all I get is a measly 500 exp and some crappy grenades I just end up selling or busting into salvage? The UI for the pc ver also needs a entire overhaul because its just terrible. If the arkfall reward is based on your position on the scoreboard imo that needs to be removed so everyone gets the same exp etc from it at least.
Just watched Badlands stream
The dev mentioned something about world events in his interview i hope this is not referring to the lantern pursuits and new emergencies.
Otherwise this video did nothing for info regarding patch....
