Supposedly Lam will be patched today. If it's still borked in that built, it's a safe bet it won't be fixed before launch.
I've worked in very complex software development environments (phone switches and enterprise security infrastructure products). I simply can't fathom how Turbine's development team can break so much functionality while adding new features, and how QA management lets them get away with it.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If Lam wasn't mostly stable a week ago, the only thing that's going to happen between yesterday and today is that it's going to get WORSE and we'll get THAT version for launch.
I've only been around here for a couple of years, but without fail, the patch *right* before release, even TINY TINY releases, from lam build to live ALWAYS fucks things up MORE than they were previously.
I seriously cannot recall a single time in which they made a patch in the week before changeover from a lam build to a live build that didn't make everything WORSE.
It works fine when the last patch is at least 2 weeks + before live date, but that's only happened a handful of times that I can remember.
