No apology necessary, I didnāt take it as overly critical, nor was I under the delusion that my proposal was perfect.
The fact is, these new waves (as seen on beta) donāt work the same as the current purge on Live. With the new purge, they are more like volleys of NPCs, they are not announced. Roughly 15-20 seconds after you kill off a volley the next one is sent, and because the FOB is so close, it gives it more of a āconstant battleā feeling. 
Sadly, I knew this was true even as I wrote otherwise. I think the reason I wrote it up the way I did, was me clinging to hope.
In reality, I think they will put out 1 patch at most while itās still in beta, and despite knowing there are more issues, they will release it in a state thatās unfinished, solely so they can release it to all platforms simultaneously. Itās a shame it has to be that way, but that is Funcomās modus operandi.
