With no advertisement yet I have to assume the DLC was unofficially delayed. Sad. This could revive a game that is currently stumbling. I was looking forward to the end of May...err..July when the DLC was supposed to be released.
The only thing it feels there is to do is grind at this point.
That's all I do is grind now. Of course I want the DLC sooner rather than later...who doesn't...I wouldn't mind if it was later if they only just communicated with us. Talking is absolutely free, doesn't cost a thing, you wouldn't see half of the negative comments if we was kept informed a bit moreQuote:

Bringing back Sieges would definately make things a bit more interesting again. I really enjoyed them. It would be a nice morale boost while we wait on for DLC.Quote:

I'll be pleased when the bloody DLC does drop so people will shut up about it. Of course the I completed the DLC in 6 hours threads will arrive soon after, followed by the I have nothing to do threads(because I raced through the DLC to be 'first'), followed by where's DLC 2?, why isn't here? I want it now!
It's because we are told one thing and then told nothing. It adds to the anxiety. I assure you I will not be on the where is the 2nd DLC wagon as there will be some new toys at that point.Quote:

Maybe a press release to news sites or something.
Im still waiting....
They got a day or two left. a day to announce, and 5 days to actually release = July 26....
After that, the DFMDS will have to be on full alert.....

I'm going to assume you're on a console, because I wish the PC version had that type of population issue. :/Quote:

While you wait for DLC I recommend grinding your SAWs to max out LMGs. They level up fast and nobody knows what the devs have in store for us when they say they are going to get nerfed. I'm at lvl 17 and I plan to finish them off by friday night. This will keep me busy until DLC.
Excellent... I'll be keeping my eyes on you for that, then. ;)Quote:

Yes, I'm on the 360. It's quite apparent that this game was not developed with 10 year old hardware in mind. At minor Arkfalls, I usually shoot a few things, then jump on the crystal and heal using a spanner. The more drops I get, the fewer other players I see. The problem is with the clans/friends who join others. The phases were not made to handle some of these clan sizes, especially when multiple clans converge onto one Arkfall.Quote:

I see no mention of when Plague Sieges will come back, just that they will come back. So I don't know where you're getting your info on them being brought back next patch.Quote:

So for a week/two people bumrush the sieges and then.. bored. Burnt out on sieges and then now the siege mechanic which they more than likely plan to use in future DLC and things gets old, people claim rehash.
It's like the rifts in Rift (another Trion game). People stopped doing those after six months because they got boring and burned out. Same rift mechanic.. all the mobs just changed.
Well... I guess we can hope... like we have been for the DLC. :P
Well from some of the games I play (borderlands,Dcuo,call of duty,and many others) they always drop DLCs on tuesdays (ps store update day) and seeing we have one Tuesday left in july we might start getting more info soon
This issue alone has caused an increase in my intake of xanax. I'm afraid at this rate I will OD before the DLC hits.
The dude who said end of July was fired... (yea the game director was shacked)
SOOOO DLC date... when pigs fly....
Still not as bad as BioWare, the founders walked out.Quote:

I guess this matters.. if someone plays a Bioware game. Unfortunately this is Defiance, so I fail to see how this is relevant.Quote:

They also said that they would be releasing a patch which will include sieges again before the dlc is released. By combining the xbox process and the patch, they would have to release the patch tomorrow and send the dlc to MS on Thursday. Seeing as they like to see patches working before releasing other stuff, the dlc won't be sent.
I also had to laugh at a sledge post where they said they identified a problem with the PvP outfits and it would be fixed in a few weeks. A few weeks for outfits, what does that say about proper content like clan battles.
If they keep the current dlc release timeframe as they are going, they would be struggling to finish the DLC before the end of season 2.
I have now not played this game for 3 weeks as I have grinded upto 2500 EGO and with nearly all friends on defiance gone on to other games and grinding the only thing you can do there is no interest to come back to the game as it is.
And to those who believe they can get a refund for season passes, you need to realise there is no end date on the season pass, so as long as they are still 'developing' on defiance, they can still say that they will meet the season pass criteria. The only way to get a refund is if they close the servers or disband the development team, then you would have to go through Trion for a refund. Even then it is very unlikely.
There are games with next to useless customer relations (By which I mean communicating with us) and Trion fits right in there. Most communicatiosn we get from trion is about help with bugs, nothing else. I swear that the 50 people working in defiance is split, 40 trainee customer support technicians, 9 game bug technicians and 1 bloke sitting in a cubicle pounding 'how am I supposed to do 5 dlc in a year on my own' using his head to type.
Ha!!!...
Gotcha' all beat yo'!
..try waiting for DayZ's Standalone then we'll talk about how rough it is when waiting for 'promised' stuffz.

Really? :confused:
Should be happy considering the game is doing gangbusters since he did.
Meh. I steer clear of people and things that use "Z" in the end of their names. Things always turn out better than if I hadn't.Quote:
