I respect your decision. For me, the more I read, the less likely I am to get this game.
I will be interested to see what the new patch fixes and what it breaks. I will also be interested to see if Ubisoft authorizes any patches after patch #2. One possible reason for the delay is that this may be the last patch they offer. That's just my opinion and is not based on anything I've heard.
If patch #2 is a good patch and a third patch is authorized, then I may still consider purchasing the game at Christmas time. Certainly not before then though.
