Are we done for the season? If not when does it drop/go live?
I believe I saw something about late September for the next content drop. Don't quote me on that though.
Yes Season 2 episodes are officially done. Alastar is right, they said they are shooting for late September.
I'll believe it when I see it...
I just did the two recent missions on that defiantfew.com website and when you pick a mission, it lists what's going on in the game (website), the show and the main game.
On of the new ones implied that we should've gotten some story content already.
Don't read it though it you don't want spoilers. It spoiled some stuff for me because I wasn't expecting that to happen. :(
Interesting...SyFy runs that defiantfew.com website and the flow of information seems to be bottlenecked somewhere. Left hand don't know what the right hand doin'...Quote:

Indeed... too much Hole, not enough Kenya. Or Doc Yewll, now that I think about it.Quote:

You kind of get used to it.Quote:

Make sure your not confusing Episode missions with Main missions.
Episodes are crossovers, but the main missions continue the mission storyline. If my info is correct we get something this week or next week (week being between episodes, not monday to sunday) that has us finding out that the Grid are influencing the pilgrims and we free Von Bach from his evil EGO devices.
Come on, Doc Yewll is my favorite vilain...she`s not even a vilain to me, she`s just missunderstood....lolQuote:

If they actually did kill off her character, I have a friend that should immediately be put on suicide watch. lolQuote:

Hell, even small and mostly dead games like Fallen Earth see more substantial feature updates then we do. Have you ever noticed that they never bring up any of the pie-in-the-sky features that other gaming companies talk about? Or that they've never announced a major feature that they're working on? The biggest update this game has ever had is Silicon Valley and... that was a pretty light update. RIFT's patches between revisions are bigger than that.Quote:

Either they have to double down and salvage this or it'll just get thrown on life support (if it hasn't) already but tossing us a few single-consumption quests here and there that are completely recycled isn't going to cut it.
Im sorry to put it so rudely but you are completely wrong. Arktech Revolutionary completely changed the game and how we play it. That would probably be the big feature update along with Silicon Valley.
You're right, that was "big" change. But it was change most didn't want. The threat level and temporary buff stuff is very ambitious. But we didn't want that, and it still isn't what it should be. So that is where the ambition was spent.Quote:

The bottom line is that game has no vision behind it. We get a parade of small patches filled with minor tweaks and every once in awhile they turn a mission on.
I asked in a previous thread what we have to look forward to long term. No dev has EVER shared any long term plans about the game aside from the original producer who was canned less than a month after launch. At best we get maybe 30 days out but usually they just dump a patch on PTS, we test it for a day or two, all feedback and bug reporting is completely ignored, and they push it live come hell or high water.
Seriously, the only thing we know about future content is that we're going to get a couple of missions in September. What other major studio handles business like this?
I can't think of any.
... couldn't have said it much better myself. Bravo, sir! :applause:Quote:

Hell no, none that we have ever seen or even HEARD of. Everything in this piece is "seat of the pants flying" and "oh, this would be cool - let's do this!". I will continue to believe that and so will many others until proven wrong or shown differently. Other game manufacturers tell you that "such and such is getting new content and new maps or storyline!", and with deflatulance it seems like a suprise to "Der Kompany" when it comes out too, like a morbidly obese woman 'suddenly' giving birth and not even knowing that she was pregnant.
Is there any company that does business like this one?
None that I have ever encountered before, and CERTAINLY none that expects any long-term success with It's products. Put something out, watch it free-fall in It's infancy and do absolutely zero to prevent it, delay the release of any downloadable content over and over and then when the dlc does drop each is nothing more than a glorified patch that further butchers the game and alienates the users.
Now into the second season of the television season that the game ties into and the game cannot even keep up with it, no more crossover content and a weak but long-promised land expansion comes out - seemingly more to appease the dullard users and stop the incessant whining until the end of the television season so that "Der Kompany" can squeak out a meager "Downloadable Patch Content".
Drama,
I will be honest with you. I don't ever see another "Season's Pass" type 'performance' to come again from "Der Kompany".
I don't think that they could muster up five DLCs and even make them presentable for the "off-season" like the last DLCs (as they were).
I can't believe that two DLCs of the caliber of Borderlands DLCs would be even possible.
What do we have to look forward to?
You know the answer to that.
