Last I heard, they were avoiding giving a release date for the patch.

If it's really taking them this long to fix a few broken features advertised on the box the expansion is sold in, a lot of people here are going to be angry. If they're taking their time so they can address some of the other remaining issues (imbalances caused by fixing the shield bug, etc.), well, a lot of people here will still be angry and rail at CA because that's what they do, but I'll be happy.
