The fact you might know more about the Defiance universe doesn't mean you have to inflate your EGO (pun intended) onto the forum. [I would like some proof of this. We promote the game, we promote the community and we are here to entertain as much as we are to provide a safe creative outlet for peoples thoughts and opinons. If this is EGO you need to find a new definition.] The Wiki guy doesnt wanna, the other guy is whining. Furthermore, I never dissed about K-TAM, but if you want to talk about what support of a game to a radiostation can do I can name the following examples:
- contests with prizes (handed out by Trion for you to give away),
- parties ingame where occasionally GM's or CM's show up for fun,
- PVP-tournaments that are held periodically with Trion prizes where you are present to promote,
- events that occur get promoted by you and vice versa on the forum by Trion that you guys are there live,
- etc. etc. (now I must say usually the events are standard events like an anniversary but you get the idea)
[I made a commitment at launch to never ask for a hand out from Trion/Defiance. Sledgehammer has a copy of that message. If they want to send us stuff to give away I would be happy to receive it. The only things I can find to give away as prizes that are not K-TAM related are Bit Cards and XBOX/PSN cards. However, the Bit cards are PC only and the XBOX/PSN are region locked and can only be used in the country purchased from which makes this a very unfair system to try and award people, not to mention they all have different values. K-TAM stuff is good, but it is also expensive because we can't afford the bulk orders and we have to ship as well so we don't do as many give a ways as I would like.
I have even offered to send Dahanese, Trick and OverloadUT a K-TAM T-Shirt in appreciation a few times and it's been declined. It was our way of wanting to say thinks for coming on and supporting the community.
Where should we hold these little parties? Did you know we tried to have one every Monday night at the Crater? Lasted about 3 weeks but people stopped trying because of the phasing/sharding it was a lot of effort to get people into the same phase in just one system, it never felt like a community event when people are over 3 systems in addition to no actual social thing to do. We all dance like self-conscious neck beards in game anyway with the shuffle clap dance of all mighty lameness.
PvP Tournaments - You mean shadow wars? There really is no other PvP besides duels and the PvP maps. With no Clan Tags or way to join as a clan their are too many variables from random people to have an effective tournamt and keep track of everyone. We have had a great many conversations about this and other ideas, the game is just not conducive to what is normal to do in other games.
I will admit if you are not on our Twitter you will not find updates of what is going on. Part of that is because we are a volunteer team and we do not use google ads or other advertising to give us the resources to design a better web site that is more user friendly to do all the great things we wish we could do on it. There is always room for improvement and we are working on them as we can. Right now it's getting more listeners to make it worth it. Notice how empty the forums have been lately? We see it too on our end at K-TAM]
Don't get me wrong, this game is still new, you guys are volunteers, and again, you are doing a great job, but don't think Trion is working extremely hard to get the community in game. I meant support in a tad broader context. [Support in game as far as just hanging out out side of the Friday streams is non-existant. Never see forum posts or twitters about anyone just hopping on to do a siege or a few ark falls and hang out. Used to happen with Sledgehammer. But never since. I don't blame them either with a skeleton crew to manage all of the forums and getting ready for Arcage.]
With an agenda on the site which shows interesting topics or planned shows, I might be able to tune in to get more info on Defiance, because I do like to know more about backstory, contests or other developments, but right now, yeah I don't. [Although we don't list everything, our front page does list when the Sam Skatch Show airs and that is our current primary "story line" show. Our A.I. does random shows as is her character and we are working on getting other shows and hosts on the air. Sundays and Mondays are our talk show days. Things announced on the forums quite often and via our Twitter feed and FB page. We are looking at ideas for a better calendar of events.]
The guy is contributing in his own way. Who are you to act like a complete @ss to belittle him like that? [I defend his right to control what goes on his web site. I don't agree with him though and nor do I have to. How is that belittling him? But as a poster pointed out, the idea of a Wiki is to be a community effort. ]
