Staring at the map, not a single new mission related to the 7th legion. Haven't seen an incursion since I signed on either.

Ruh oh.
Lucy... you have some 'essplaining to do!
Arsenic is on the warpath! Everyone take cover!
Still waiting for patch notes as well so I know what changed and what didn't change.
Lol. As if the patch notes would ever reveal all. History dictates this to not be true. Remember, the ninja isn't noticed until after it has passed!Quote:

These patch notes should be good. I better get some adult diapers.

Ninja's? I thought we were dealing with Canadian Samurai from Manhattan...Quote:

You are correct. They said that DLC 3 was going to heavy story side... I'm kind of at a loss for words here. I hope it's turned off for whatever reason (this will be the third time in a row) but if this is all we get then.... wow. Waiting for a response from dahanese.Quote:

Seems rather weird to have zero story when no one knows squat about these Canadian Samurai, and why they are here.
No, you are not wrong. He said:Quote:

However, I'd bet the newest blog post is as "lore focused" as you're going to get.
If that's true, they are taking a page out of ArenaNets playbook.Quote:

I really am sorry about this... but...
Trion!?! What the hell am I looking at?!?

Ruining surprises for everyone. And if this is the next big story line then it wouldn't be fair if testers got to play it and experience it before everyone else. And it also wouldn't be fair have test server players experience the new story on a Test Server of all things and not do so as their original character.
It's not like we know why the Volge are here, either, and we've had those a lot longer...Quote:

But, if I understood a certain rant from last week, you were pulling the plug on Defiance. Has this changed and will there still be Defiance related content on your e-station?Quote:

@rebtattoo - We're finishing up the radio drama storyline we've been working on. Once that is over, no more Defiance content. We've already pulled or edited most of our Defiance related commercials. We will be focusing more on Star Citizen and Pantheon: RotF.
Hence, the reason communication is so vital. For situations just like this. However, we know that this isn't Trions strong suit, therefore the questions come out in a tidal wave.Quote:

Houston has lost all contact with Trion, who was previously in orbit somewhere around the planet Earth. They were drinking heavily, and doing cartwheels in 0 gravity while producing the online game Defiance. Everything seemed to be in order, when for some unknown reason Trion decided to go from the Gamma stage of Defiance directly into the Plaid version. As many of the Defiance players have learned and will now tell you, when you travel at the speed of Plaid no radio communication is possible.
The last known communication came from some person named Tyrannos and he/she/it said that Houston's thread was going to be burned in the upper atmosphere, and that there was nothing Houston could do about it! Can you believe that ****?
Houston will simply have to wait and see where in the universe Trion pops out of Plaid this time. Most likely, Houston will have to once again send out a team of Ark Hunters into the 4th dimension and rescue Trion from their own instancing algorithms.
Until the next episode...
Yeah what of that thread 'K-TAM Is Done With Defiance'? Like there is no coming back from that thread. And all the stuff having insults and personal attacks at a certain mod because of some unrelated blog post. Not to mention multiple accounts along with just all kinds of craziness.Quote:

The Defiance community is crazy. There are ppl here who are basically unemployed workers for Trion who make fan made content or report bugs meticulously. But at the same time those same ppl like to take a screw driver and stick it into Trions kidney region and tell them how much they suck. Its the most radical scale of love-hate Ive ever seen towards anything.
Always go for the liver.Quote:

The 'love' part of the relationship is not happening at the same time as the 'hate' part. It was a slow transition. Our radio content will no longer include Defiance related things.Quote:

The Radio won't be producing further Defiance content. I enjoy playing aspects of the game and I will remain a member of the community. Regardless of our other thoughts. We have said changes need to be made or the community will suffer. Look around. We have moved on as a radio. We don't do pod casts. we are still players who paid for the game like all of you and likely spent more than many buying at launch.Quote:

It is my opinion that there needs to be fundamental changes at Trion to get Defiance on track. Including some staff. At this point though even that might be too little too late.
Call me crazy. It's my opinion and I made it. I don't expect people to agree but looking at the forums it's obvious that everyone else is slowly going crazy too.
There's Amack! Missed ya bud.Quote:

Well not going really. Been there a while now...
The view isn't bad really.
I think what Beck is trying to say, is that they did not purposefully create a radio station based on an online game. Then, designed the content to be rather negative in scope. Next, stage a dramatic exit from the game and in doing so gain much needed listeners, players, people to drag away to a new game and try to hurt Defiance.Quote:

It could have been handled in much better ways, and for much better reasons.
I'll have to agree there. It could have been handled much better.
Criticizing both sides, here.
I went from a daily/semi daily listener...to someone that has no motivation to listen at all.
Probably should have figured that in to the variables.
(And now that I've seen DLC 3 and it's surprising lack of ANY content at all.....well, we can all see where this is heading, right?)
