I think Overloadt and Dahanese were both Huge Rift players. I always noted a bit of distain when overloadt had to change from his Rift live stream to Defiance. His defiance skills we're always sub par as well, and this was before the threat and scaling system .

It's pretty much completely obvious to me they were, at last year's half life event when the team was playing and live streaming with their community about 80% of the time was dedicated to RIFT and 20% to defiance. They had to be REMINDED to have the defiance servers updated for the hourly increasing event boosts at midnight.

From Creative Lead Trick Dempsey:


Please Note: This letter's intent was not to polarize or antagonize any of our players...
These labels appeared in the article and came across as offensive when that was not the intent...

Having read most if not all of the forum activity, this appears to have been the core frustration about the post, even more so than the game change. To again be fully transparent, both myself and PhantasieTrion reviewed, edited, and signed off on the article before I published it last night. The notion was that the change may be received better if communicated using an honest, if blunt, voice. In retrospect, we should have put the article through another round of revisions to temper it better and soften some of the language used.

I encourage everyone to look past the directness of the original article which was as much my fault as anyone.

What truely baffles me is that anyone reviewed, edited and signed off on the article before it was published. I think this speaks volumes for why this game is this way 1yr later. Any thought that the Veteran player base would take those comments any other way is truely asinine. Mr.Creative said how he truely feels and this is what we got after all that editing? That cat's not going back in the bag, no matter how much you back peddle.

I agree with Hawke!

I remember that and how bummed they seemed when they had to play defiance.

And they had an entire community there wanting them to come play, still hilarious when Dahanese ran into Jackleg Joe and didn't even know anything about the encounter.

Yep, and sadly it took Dahanese finding a new job to begin to pay attention to the community.

They sure do love to back peddle. -.-
