Theme of day 3, don't do the same thing over and over and expect different results

I do enjoy how Trion allows the devs the write their posts compared to other mmos which are usually bulleted walls of text, this wall of text however; has entertainment value.



I wait for the Patch notes to be spammed with "automagically" and "corgi-fied" and then I'll feel like i never left the Rift forums!

I'm still waiting for a Corgi in game.

+1 to taaltos. Stick this post! Counsel gamers are an impatient bunch (no offense) and typically have much less exposure to MMOs. They need to know how hard you folks are working to iron these issues out. There's more complaining than you'd hear in the scruggin' E-rep rank and file

props Trion, in spite of issues I'm having a blast

How big is the update thats coming in mb? and please tell me you will have the download speed issues fixed by the time its out I dont think downloading what sounds like a huge patch will be fun at .01-.-04 mb/s

Thank you so much for working hard to fix these server problems, I am completely in love with this game and can't wait until it's running smoothly!

And just like that, Trion jumped to the top of my "favourite developers" list.

There's nothing more reassuring than developers taking part in their community, and being transparent as well as timely with the going-ons regarding current issues and development.

These kind of posts are the equivalent of a warm blanket and a good film on a windy winters night, with purring kittens sprinkled on top.


Also, on a side-note, the Defiance launch has so far been one of the smoothest launches of an MMO I've taken part in (PC), the fact that it's multi-platform only makes such a feat even more impressive - and hopefully the XBOX issues will be solved soon.

Thank you for keeping us all informed. I think you guys are doing a great job!

I'm also feeling a little sad recently, as I've discovered that over time this game literally makes me feel nauseous. I have to stop having fun and walk away when it becomes too much to keep pushing through. Either the bobbing of the visuals or the FOV is the culprit, and I'm guessing it could be a bit of both. Still, I endeavor to persevere and continue to play as much as I am able, hoping some FOV tweaks are in our future at some point.

Again, thank you for being so open and honest with everyone about the state of the game.

PS. As a side note, looking at kittens might cheer your sadness. Maybe zombie kittens? I'm sure you could find those too.

Ah, I had 2 really good purple guns disappear, but I had half convinced myself that I had accidentally broken them down and it was my fault. It's good to know that it was a bug, even if I still miss that smg and shotgun I lost. Still haven't been able to replace them with anything as good.

I'm having a ton of fun in this game. It's so addictive. I've been so impressed with how much fun I've been having that when the game ate my 2 best guns, I didn't even really get too mad. I just told myself that it's the first week of release and I'll make due and hope to find something better in the future.

Great game, tons of fun, and smoothest mmo launch ive experienced ......though Trion devs might be pulling their hair out :-) keep up the good work

How wonderful to check up on the latest patch notes and find not just a description of what's being done, but one delivered with candor and humor. Gave me a good laugh, and that alone is worth the headaches all over again.

Now, as for those moving parts with the XBox cluster: might I suggest a ten-pound sledgehammer and a stick welder? Won't have any moving parts to mess with when we get through. Though, curiously, I suspect the final design will look rather like a stack of circuit boards welded to a kitchen sink...

Anyways. Thank you, Oveur, for keeping us up to date and in good humor!

I would like to thank you devs for your fantastic dedication to this game. I'm on Xbox in the UK and haven't had any issues so I'm not sure what the problems have been for others. I appreciate your posts and fully support your endeavours to get it right for everyone. Trion reminds me of another certain developer (Bioware) who gave so much to their gaming community and engaged with them through the forum so often. Keep up the great work and know that most of us are loving this game. You have our support ;-)
