Personally, its not like I mind waiting. Well, ok, I do but I wouldn't blame toady or get mad or anything, it's not like he's not working or anything, shit just takes time. Its just just that when he says he's in the process of just cleaning up the release and is more then half done I assume that it will be done in like a week or something. If toady were to say "yeah, things are taking longer then I thought, it might be a while longer" then I'd be fine with that. Its just that the combination of talking about final clean up, posting massive awesome and seemingly very finished adventure logs and then going quiet for 3-5 days at a time leaves lots of people kinda twitchy, for obvious and I believe very understandable reasons.
It's not like I'm saying toady should update the devlog everyday or have a progress bar (I don't think it would work, I was just saying I'd be cool) or set release dates because we all know that shit happens and stuff is unpredictable. Just saying that if you post stuff saying it's near release (especially a release that adds in tons of new and rabidly requested stuff) and then tempt us all with awesome logs (this actually helps satiate people to a point as well though) don't be surprised if some of us get antsy. If anything, that just shows how much we love this dang thing.
