1- Not all bugs are fixed.
2- The server and lobby are still in beta, nothing will happen before a first release version. That was always the plan.
The reason is that the updater is not reliable enough to force update every week or month. It's a pain in the ass each time (look at the tech forum), and a waste of time until the known issues are fixed. We are working on that.
3- Nobody will be aware when the balancing team will be in place, and what they will do. In fact, it can already be in place now. You don't know, we won't tell.
I have or will give specific order to not talk about changes tests on the forum or chat.
The reason is that we don't want people to be afraid of a change that can be dismiss at any time, or give their opinion about everything when they don't see the big picture. That was the balance thread is for, and you can re-read the rules
It's not an open process. We don't also tell what happen server or lobby side, same for FA.
We don't have the time to communicate about all we are doing, and even if we have that time, it won't change a lot what is done or not. We are doing it in our free time, and it's firstly about having fun doing it, not worrying about the expectations of everybody. But we try to please you, don't worry.
If you are REALLY interested in what is going on, there is a twitter account that reflect every commit on the FA lobby and FA repository :
https://twitter.com/#!/Ze_PilOt/Only 29 people registered to it, it comfort me in thinking that people don't really care about what's under the hood.
