Welcome to being updated with the news. If they were to TELL you that they want to add X maps to the game and in the end they added only half of that would you react differently that if they PROMISED those maps?
Oh and YOU are tired of being on the outside. If you'd ever follow any game as cautiously as you follow L:O then you'd start appreciating how much does the current L:O team get done, how much they tell us and how fast do they get things done... for free. I appreciate that a lot + that might sound a bit mean but it feels like the team is more involved with the community without the video podcasts that were done by crash and wiley...
Now, can we at least count/hope for online episodic Legions fiction serials (as in short stories)? I mean that seems the most effective and efficient way to develop the Legions lore + I'm getting low on fiction lit and from what I've seen on the old IA forums Legions fiction can get pretty interesting :]
EDIT: you don't need to tell us what you are planning to do, but it'd be nice if you made it clear what WON'T you do. Creates a pleasant illusion of being informed

Yes, there's a difference between "telling" someone something and "promising" them. So I would be slightly more disappointed if something was promised and fell through. But who on earth is asking for promises about anything?
I assume you're trying to imply you don't share my opinion and that others don't either. But I can assure you even if you don't the vast majority of players I've spoken to about it do share my opinion.
I actually do follow many games this closely. And have never once said that I didn't appreciate the work they do. That's not my problem, it never was. My problem is transparency, and nothing else. This isn't a large game development company, it's a community grown group working on a game that the original Dev team failed on. They have no legal (or logical imo) reason to keep things locked behind huge safe doors and not just tell us what ideas they've had and where they hope to go with the game. I just think they need to give this community whose stuck with this game for years a chance before writing it off as not even worth trying.
The difference is they're actually working on the game. Crash and Wiley had no direct connection to Legions itself, they were InstantAction community managers. IA stopped working on Legions ages before the arcade went down, so how exactly you expect to feel connected to a game not being worked on through people who were never working on it I'm not sure at all. However as to being connected to their community itself (nothing to do with the game) Crash and Wiley were easily better.
Anyway, my point isn't to argue this with random people in the forums. It was to point out what people see as an unnecessary problem, and try to have some light shed on it.
What more story do we need other than people in robotic battle suits taking the enemy's holy flag in their base, running back to their base while they are shelled with grenades and rockets, to ultimately either explode into a million pieces (and then the chasers voluntarily do the same) or make the two holy flags make contact to eradicate some evil presence?
OR SOMETHING.

There needs to be a romantic subplot of some sort.
Also, like mr Disci said, lets try to keep things on topic. I would like to point out one thing:
Even in our FAQ, the direction and planned features for the game are listed. The only thing that's under wraps (and GReaper already explained why) are the specifics. As these specifics become more clear and defined, we'll start talking about them. A lot.
As for not being as involved with the community as DrWiley and Crash7800 were, Seymour's a little hurt. I view myself as part of the community and not as an employee. No, Seymour doesn't have the time, resources, or even knowledge to do podcats or what have you, but I do like to make myself available to the community. And, with that said, the Blog is regularly updated not with announcements of announcements (which was not their fault at all), but with actual information. I think that's something special.
Bleh, anyhow; back on topic: Legions Lore!

cuz it would suck and i'm tired of the Hollywood happy endings(i know legions has nothing to do with hollywood)..i also hope the legions campaign will be something brutal..about war...and i also hope they will have cutscenes with cool animations

I wouldn't hold my breath on a single-player campaign at all, or cutscenes. Though I wouldn't be surprised if some community members started doing some Machinima-style skits.

They already have. There was a comedy skit that ran until IA went all updatey on his comp.
