@TAW_Rinkothis is a big patch, but shows that they are just fighting to keep this thing afloat rather than advancing the game to where it needs to be. We are still in a beta state without the things you mentioned that are still lacking in the game. I would love to get to that level prior to S1, but now doubt we will.
I can imagine there will only be a small bug fix patch in 6 weeks and then the S1 drop in 12-14 weeks from now. Without any new content between now and then, no server browser, no platoon/squad updates, and no performance improvements, I don't know who is coming back for just a EOR scoreboard and limited VOIP.
13 fixes for Hazard Zone, has anyone even played this mode lately? Why put that much effort into fixes for a dead game mode? Put those resources towards an AOW Server Browser.

I heard that hazard zone was so unpopular they stopped counting how many people were playing a week or two after launch. May not be true, but it certainly sounds plausible.
I think this bug list is not one that was wholly written in response to player feedback, I think this is the list of bugs they knew about before launch. Hence the inexplicable focus on hazard zone.
If Dice have any intention to save the player base, and if they don't who the hell do they think will buy the next game, they need to speed up how often they add content or fix bugs.
I'd like to see additional portal maps quickly. These ought to be relatively easy to do, compared to the long slate of other tasks on the list. Frankly, I think we ought to be getting one added every couple of weeks. Portal is where the best value can be found in 2042, but its getting stale. It desperately needs more maps.
@TAW_Rinkoyeah I agree on the Portal maps, and it is a completely different studio compared to the one doing the launch bug fixes.
I still find it extremely odd that they are putting so much effort into Hazard Zone when there are other game breaking things to address. It seems like they don't prioritize any of the fixes.

Indeed, that's what I see when I look through the patch notes. Most of the things are the kind of housekeeping stuff any game needs after launch. Although with 2042 known to have launched with an historically high number of bugs that's a lot of housekeeping.
Apparently there's a may update now scheduled. I would hope with that one that its focused more on players concerns, rather than clearing up the list of things they knew they'd not done.
