Answer to OP, this game is actually very enjoyable however because of the long EA period this sub has a large number of permanent lingerers who are rather embittered by TW's slow progress to develop the game, and have subsequently developed a culture of egging each other on about how bad the game is. This is a very common thing on gaming forums.
It's not about the lengthy EA, there's loads of games from even smaller studios with even longer ones that have your 'healthy' forums. TW's issue is the non-communication that comes with it. The most concrete, single-sentence affirmation we can get tucked away in a single thread here after egging them on for weeks/months was that latest "What is clear is that you
will receive these changes. It also won't be years before that happens."
Really, that's the most confident statement TW can allow public at this stage, 1-year into their 'official' release, ~4-5 months since their last beta-content patch, and 1.5 years since last roadmap?
They won't even allude to what is holding up except some 'blocker issue' and somehow pin it back towards us that delay is because 'Oh, it wouldn't meet the standards for official hence the non-communication and non-updates and non-fixes'. As if their official release a year ago met that standard.
What 'blocker issues'? Technical, competence, staffing issues, local/global, engine re-re-re-re-factoring, lack of resources, bored/burn out, moved on, etc...or all the above? As it seems like it's all the above.
If the game was kept EA, whatever, anything can happen or be expected and that's fair play. But we're 1-year post-release; when can we get a finished and complete game?
