Removing Episode Missions to Coincide With Show Will Kill This Game

lastly, I'm not alienating you, you're talking about hating the show in a thread about the game, and then going on to ***** and moan because you'll lose access that is only relevant or worthwhile to those that do like the show.

if you would honestly abandon the entire game over less then an hour of content that you by all means would hate (something I wouldn't put past you considering your vile attitude) then you've already alienated yourself, good job.

This person has a good head on their shoulder.

These missions are tie-in first, game content second. That means that as they lose relevence to the show, they are removed and replaced with new content that will tie-in with the new episode.

Every single mission in game is a push 3 buttons ( or people) and fight the mobs that come . or do fail rift lag feast. they remove the people from the cover of the game (they on the back). GL with that

i just have to say if you did any kind of research on the games tie in to the show then you would of known that when the show started that they would take them out because the simple fact is

THE CHARACTERS LEFT FRICKEN SAN FRAN GROW A BRAIN YOU MORON

why would characters no longer in the area still be in the area just so your selfimportant ******ness can play it cause you feel selfentitled go play cod or world of warcrap

Oh we on name calling stage are we? must be desperate. EU server = we don't know this crap probably don't care.

again maybe if you did some research it took me all of 5 mins to find out i was going to buy this game and another not even hour to find the information your complaining about

so you are basically aggressively posting cos you are happy with your choice and research? well done now i have a problem with this so im posting you see?

An experience they are sacrificing needlessly with this decision.



They said to make sure you complete it, not that it would be removed. It seemed more a, "Make sure you do it so you can be ready and up to date for the Premier." not a, "Do it, or you'll be missing out on one of the game's most unique features. Permanently."

yeah but then you have people like me who was unable to afford the game until last week i didn't even know about the episode missions so i am now permanently locked out of any of them BC i dint have 60$ to fork over the second i found out?

Just to throw my hat into the ring here. I'm surprised (ok... not really that surprised) that people couldn't figure out for themselves that these EPISODE missions would be replaced with the new... EPISODE.

Putting aside the fact that there was plenty of forewarning, did you seriously need a grand announcement to piece this together?

And, just to repeat what others have said, every MMO has temporary content. WoW had a fun little easter egg hunt on easter. If you didn't log in during the event, you missed it. Its as simple as that.

Defiance, instead of only having holiday events, has weekly events that coincide with the show. I think its awesome. And seriously, if you couldn't finish those... what, 3 missions? in the time they gave you, then clearly it wasn't terribly important to you to begin with.
