Patch 1.18 release date now looking grim for july??

[Ventus]

Original Post by: Chinook

Based on the following dev post, posted today on french forums:

Je comprends que beaucoup d’entre vous sont assez impatients et voudraient obtenir une date ferme concernant la sortie du patch 1.18. Malheureusement, à l’heure actuelle il est encore impossible de communiquer une date précise.

Je peux uniquement vous confirmer que si tout se passe bien, la mise à jour 1.18 arrivera ce mois-ci.

Translation:

I still cannot give you a specific date for 1.18. I can only confirm that IF everything goes well, it will be launched this month.

After reading the current hot topic about the patch date here I stumbled across this post by Chinook and I got to say it made me cringe quite a bit . On other language forums there can often be vital bits of info released to those specific forums that others don't hear. So, as a result, I'd like to see what you guys think of this recent bit of info the French forum seems to have gotten.

Can anyone confirm this seemingly terrible outlook for patch that seemed fairly certain to come out in the beginning-mid of july? I know these guys at SE are working pretty hard, but it's hard not to get frustrated after seeing that July is now not a 100% confirmed patch date release.

If this seems like an overreaction I'll go ahead and close thread so doesn't clog the forums, but for now I'd like to hear what you guys have to say .
