Kiwi is gone :(

[Ocho]

Has there even been an official announcement from Trion about this void in their Community Management?

We do not discuss personnel matters as a matter of policy; privacy is important and valued.

We remain strongly committed to Defiance and I'll be stepping back out from my role in the background of Defiance a bit more. You may see some of our other Community Team members around the place too like Brasse. That is probably more appropriate in another thread, to avoid distracting from this one.

Oh, I had no idea it was a matter of privacy.. my bad.

Was chatting with her extensively yesterday morning. It's sad to see one of the few shining lights get extinguished.

As for trion, they set her up for failure having her bounce between 2 games, one of them being completely toxic (yes defiance is toxic). In my opinion, her treatment was unfair and she deserves a lot better than what she was dealt.

+1000. / Grrrr Riot avoided.Barely.
Again take care lil'birdy.
The community here will really miss you.

The ship has sank and the sound you're hearing is the nails in Defiance/Trions coffin. You lost the one and only community manager that actually communicated, became a part of the community, and helped it grow. I get it. You need to cut jobs to save cost, because your business is dying, but think better why it's dying; you don't maintain your games and you load them with P2W features. I saw this happen to Rift and to Archeage. No surprise it's happening to all your games.

Good bye Kiwi and best of luck on your future adventures. You truly were simply too good for this company and deserve to work where you can be properly appreciated. Don't let this toxic company bring you down or your love for video games, please.

wish you all the best Kiwi, sad to see you go

Wasn't there an official post when Trick left? Even had himself a nice little gun in game. Hasn't there been offical post about other personnel changes like being moved to a different Trion game? How would this be any different?

A New and Exciting Future they said. We just lost the legendary orange hoodie, and now our cute little birdy ? Right now, when everyone is on the verge of a bloody nervous breakdown with the event, lag, disconnets, exchange, login issues... ? Ahah, sounds like a really exciting future ! And we have to learn this from a player, with a confirmation from Etaew, and only one post from Ocho saying "We don't talk about fight club". Clap clap, good job. I hope she had the opportunity to write something, a little goodbye, just like Locarb, she clearly deserve it.

Goodbye little birdy, we'll miss you.

Who in their right mind, tosses overboard the only person who is trying to remove the water from a sinking ship? Guess we have our answer.

So long Kiwi, you'll be missed. Good luck with whatever you do next. I hope you're happier wherever you wind up.

Wasn't this experiment tried once before? Someone remind me how that went.
