    For those not wanting to read all these replies arguing over semantics, has there been any actual update on this yet?

    Nope.

    Anyone engaging in this ridiculous debate owes me for the wasted 10 minutes spent reading the last couple of pages. 

    I'll send you my hourly rate and it can be split among the few of you. 


    Now please may we all just agree that the Targeting system is coming in a few to several weeks, and wait patiently for any further updates? 
     
    Obviously the sooner the better.

    No more debating about one specific word please, this stuff potentially drives away players who would otherwise be excited to engage in worthy forum discussions.
    Sorry. Linguist, so do find debates like this really fun and fascinating. It's interesting stuff, could literally write papers on it. 

    Didn't mean to bore anyone. 
    Are you cunning?

    To people complaining about this going off-topic, I don’t see it. We are talking about and quoting the exact words given to us by the developers in the original post. Asking for more information, and trying to discern when we will get it seems to me to be well within the parameters of this topic. 

    There’s a lot of people speculating and arguing what “couple” and “next” mean with regards to when we will get more information. Just like we had people speculating and arguing what the feature likely will and won’t be.  

    All of it is tied to information given in the original post- sometimes the verbatim words in the original post- so it seems fair game and on-topic to me.

    Others can feel free to disagree of course.

    I disrespectfully agree. Or disagree to agree. Or spout off "facts" irregardlessof the truth.

    Wanna know what's worse than fighting Bishop?
    Fighting a couple of Bishops. 

    Wanna know what's worse than that?
    Fighting an indefinite small number of Bishops in wave nodes.

    See that „saved cover“ box offset. Seems that will be were shared will show up? The UI broken like this not long ago (a couple of minutes? ;)). Sooo... maybe this will actually come soon?

    “Soon”. 

    Not a bad guess, though, as that area of the screen is a natural place to display a counter showing fractional progress on a cover.

    Mine has been like this for a few days now. That’s a good theory though. Let’s hope that’s what it means.

    Well since this topic has already turned into what words mean and this is a pet peeve of mine, Irregardless is not a word. The word is just regardless, and if irregardless was a word it would mean the opposite of how people use it.

    Regardless means without regard and Ir- is a prefix which negates so Irregardless would mean not without regard or with regard or regardfull

    Merriam-Webster disagrees:

    Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

    Regardless of this, I hope we get more details on this as I've become a mega-hoarder in anticipation and just in case. Plus I can't wait to say, "I just sharded".

    Can the grammar Nazis please cease? Your semantic bickering has completely derailed this thread. And to @daredevil217, no you're incorrect that this is still on topic. It passed being on topic more than 100 comments ago.
    No wonder D3 doesn't provide more communication, because what little they do provide is now argued in such minutiae they don't even need to chum waters before this group will snipe and tear at each others throats just to be the most correct.

    @spidyjedi84, I think that most of this thread is just some good natured fun in the presence of an information vaccum. 
    Yep! Couldn’t have said it better myself. I actually just scroll past the long-winded grammar lessons myself.

    You know what this game has been missing? Fractions of 2* characters. I feel I don’t get enough of them. So I’m glad this is being addressed.

    More than 100 comments ago would be the first half of page 10. Which is still very much on topic ;)

    I'm just happy they have told us something that they are doing to try and further address dillution.

    "Grammar"  Unless you're talking about Kelsey Grammer, in which case I stand corrected.

    See...we can argue about spelling as well.  :)

    I read his post as subtly trolling people hence the capitalized Grammer.
