Dark matter is either all castithan, or castithan and irathient though I doubt it. Check out their video in the intel screen, the vot an name of the group is castithan "shkathe' nado". But, in the video the in armored guy kind of looks irathient so can't be sure.Quote:

“Around 75-80 percent of the show has nothing to do with the game, so perhaps only 25 percent has to crossover,” Nankin says.Quote:

Tell you what: Just pretend that the correlation between each week's episode and the actual game are like a in-game lockbox. Then you can figure out just how rare it will be to have them crossing over and how likely you'll get Casti lore on your TV. :p
Honestly I don't think the TV show gives a damn about the game. The game is the dependent one in this relationship, not the other way around.
So.. no.
Of course the game is more dependent, the tv show is designed to cover more of the story telling aspect. The game is supposed to be more action oriented, covering the bloodlust aspect of fans. But the television show is going to appeal to more people than the game, as people actually have to buy the game. That's actually the problem most people have, thinking it would be the other way around or perhaps more evenly split. Personally I view the game as supplementary to the show, and a good way to burn some free time.Quote:

It's things like that on both sides of this project that frustrate customers and just turn this into a poorly planned hurr-durr dudebro shooter, when it was supposed to be more than that... which probably goes to show why it's now down to $30 after only three months.

I like that the progression in game gives perks that will supplement player skill and not just symbolic in game mechanics earned through time wasted that put players over the top. Pvp I don't like ATM, except shadow wars. But hey, some people love it.
Castis cant move out of Defiance into the bay area else they wont be on the show, and the good Mr Curran and his family is showing to be in 13 episodes.
Totally agree, as long as someone enjoys a game, it doesn't matter.Quote:

PC mmoers need to know a game is heading in the right direction so they can feel invested. If the message is "We might do something but then again, we might not.. stick around and find out!", that usually doesn't fly.
PvP is unbalanced and skiddish right now, but usually that improves over time to some degree at least. Nerfs/buffs you know. :)
