[quote] My guess is, whatever they decide, we'll see in the first actual patch to the beta, not a bug hotfix [/quote] I imagine that's true. I'll be waiting with bated breath, then.
Ah, well, that's certainly fair enough. And I do understand that the Advent are a factor in the differentiation process that we don't have any information on yet. (Blair's comment in the other thread is why I'm asking, actually. From his comments in this thread, Yarlen doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of that kind of change, and I'm wondering if they're still even considering it or if they've decided against it. )
