Absence of Team = Bitter Disappointment

THIS. The community is only going to feel more resentment and hostility as the failed (ok, marginal) hotfixes from last week are what we are stuck with. That and 50 arkforge (wahoo).

Very little action from the team and even less information.

I'm sorry but this is not acceptable and shows a lack of respect to the buyers of your product. I know the team is busy with many things but the visibility and transparency that we have been promised many times are now in question.

At the least, I'm disappointed. At worst, LIVID. Sorry but you get what you give.

Yeah, its action like this that will make me not support any future game they come out with. This is my first game I have gotten from Trion, and from their action or inactions it tells me that they do not care about their customers. I was giving them the benifit that they might turns things around , but that was 6 months ago and all of the same probles still exists. After the servers are shut down for this game, they will never see another penny from me again. As it stands right now, their not getting any more from me. Just nothing worth spending my money on.

Will they change?? I doubt it, but I could be wrong

Agree not going to support The Company.

I was hopeful last week, they were very much present and seemed to be trying. What's killing me now is the mass exodus. Feeling very much unsupported.

Just showing up and trying is critical and now once again, I'm losing faith and not trusting any of this mess to get fixed.

It can't just be me, many are reporting issues with the shields on 99ers. I was at Stinson this AM, and I had a TL10 ARK mattok with NO armour remaining, yet his sheilds would not take damage reliably (full poo shoes GRIND FRAGGER MAG emptied into him and his shield bar remained unchanged). I looked around for a drone, but none were present. Any time the fire let up, their shields would instantly regenerate to full

These guys were coming on strong enuff to make a VOLGE VISCERA look like a wimp. WTF?!?!?

All fixed my hairy goat like hindquarters!

They have to somehow release the new tie in content soon. There has been no word on them releasing it to the pts so they might be under the gun on that. Could be in for an interesting time if they release untested content into a broken game.

I don't care what they are doing I JUST WANT THEM TO TALK! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!

Pass me that please. Nom nom.

"Running as intended"

This is par for the course for The Company.

We'll have excellent communication [even if it isn't **** that we want to hear} for a brief spell, then wham! Silence for several days.

Remember the disaster of DLP 2 launch shortly before Christmas? Bugs galore and nothing from The Company for nearly 2 weeks.

My prediction. In the next day or 4, they will come back and feign apologies. Claim to still be "working on" the issues. And, may, may I tell you, turn on boosts for the weekend.

They'll also extol how laboriously they are working n cross-over and season 2 content. Of course, we know this will consist of nothing more than a few missions and data recorders.

In reality, they are concerning themselves with how to handle the transition to F2P and the plague of issues that are inevitably going to arise from that!

And I quote: “The first of our new crossover storylines is coming to Defiance in the next couple weeks.”

TOMORROW is exactly two weeks. Of course "the next couple weeks" is vague and can be danced around...I wonder when we'll actually see this *ahem* "content" in game.

No. As it happens I was playing GTA from about September thru shortly after Christmas. Happily I missed out on that particular fiasco.

No. They are working on their new game (my prediction).

Seriously, I AGREE with your predictions in general. Yes it's about par for The Company. I was hopeful last week, though they gave us borked patches they appeared to be trying in earnest to fix things.

So I created this thread to VENT and wish it wasn't so.

at first glance, you would think that there is a steady stream of participation from the CMs on the board. they have posts everywhere. then you play for a while, and actually follow the forums closely, and you realize that the posts consist 90% of "ill pass along the question", "ill ask about that", "were looking into it", "we will have an answer soon". the problem is very very few of those posts have a follow up as to what the answer was to the question, what did you find after looking into it, and moreso, what was the answer?

putting frosting on a burnt cake does not unburn it.
