I think it is extremely negative of you to think that the staff are rubbing their hands together laughing at everyone getting frustrated, or for more traffic to be created. Instead the devs are hard at work trying to polish off this amazing update, so that when it is released it will be almost perfect, with extremely rare crashes or major bugs. This requires many hours from us testers, then from the devs to iron out any kinks that may be within the mod.
Things are being implemented that have not even been mentioned within any of the release posts that Sam has made. These features need to be thoroughly checked. LMS, Sam and Cyan do not do things half-arsed and only release something once it has been tested, checked and re-checked to ensure that you, the player base, have the best enjoyment from the mod.
There is no fixed release date as (if you ask many developers) anything can crop up at anytime, but trust me. Everyone is working their asses off this update to be released...
I hope this allows people to chill their beans
