That's interesting to say the least. Considering your Executive Producer claimed the first DLC was ready to launch, but was held back to fix and stabilize the game first, the consumer would imagine that the DLC information is already available.
So, why the gag order?
Or should customers start becoming suspect at exactly how much of the DLCs were actually done?

"massive co-op boss battles" - Ahaha, "massive".
" fierce multiplayer action in an evolving sci-fi universe" - Mhrm, relatively boring multiplayer in a static lazy sci-fi setting.

" After 5 years of creating this, it saddens us and frustrates us that you aren’t getting the great experience we strived to create"
....5 years, 5 years and this is what they've made, 5 years and they failed to even have the basics of an MMO like guild management, communication and an auction house.
Sorry just to be clear, I do enjoy this game but I think 5 years with this many problems is a tad laughable, especially the fact that Trion somehow forgot how to make an MMO actually work correctly.
Why is an auction house considered a "basic"? It would server no purpose in this game; the items you'd purchase are either so common as to make it pointless, and the legendary ones are only marginally better.
There aren't player crafted items or consumables, so why even bother?
If you want to argue "convenience", why not just make a vendor with every item?
You want to make scrip using the auction house.. to do what with? There's nothing to spend it on.
To give people something to do? It's a shooter, I want to shoot things, not sit around doing maths. Focus on making more content, not a bloody market.
If you think all 5 years went directly to programming and actually DEVELOPING THE GAME, you're ignorant and know nothing about game development. A TV show and video game were created together, so generally speaking, you could multiply the normal concept stages for a tv show and a game, multiply them by 2 and add them together. Then you have to realize they had to go back and forth, seeing what would and wouldn't work, making sure everything was consistent between both mediums. They have 5 planned DLCs for THIS YEAR, and another season of the show. The game had to launch two weeks before the show, I'm sure a lot of content had to be held back and added at a later date. They could have released the game with more BROKEN content, but they didn't.
Anyways, here ya go.

Expect the first DLC to come out a few weeks to a month after they break the game again with patch 1.020.
