I don't think that OOO lied, per se, but I would say that their secrecy regarding the Radiant issue and now missing the due date for the gunner update, it is a good time to break the silence regarding said crystals.
I suspect that the update includes the new boss, which would allow for more radiants, hence the secrecy. Sure, we've been waiting since mid-October, and I contented myself with the thought that end of November the issue was done. Now though... Now it's likely mid-end of January.
Speak up, OOO. Give the community an answer. I won't be that guy and cry doom if you don't, but I'm quickly becoming disillusioned.
