There were things about "what if your players refuse to do something en masse?" and the reply was something like "we will wait and see".

    I really never expected much just because I can grasp the effort in content generation. Leaving lots of details up to the last minute to see how many players did something or how they handled it is just unreasonable.

    This is not WoW of 5 years ago, the $ is not there.
    You love to make assumptions way too much. I have no idea how you can tell that i am getting aggressive? my post has been civil and calm.

    Whatever Trion said in past was very vague though and they just hinted towards the relationship between the game and tv show. But when the producers says that a huge chunk of show got nothing to do with the game... things are not that vague anymore. Hence, my surprise.

    I guess it could look that way, it's more a reaction to your "shock" that 80% of the game had nothing to do with the show. My perspective was always that players would be lucky to get 1% influence in events. I've never met a writer willing to give any meaningful creative control to their reader. That would be like Dumbledore surviving, or Obi Wan.

    I don't see it as a surprise at all, if the two were woven too closely, there'd be no need for both, and it'd be cheaper to jsut do it in the game :P

    In order for both to survive, they need to have their time apart and unique directions, because they appeal to different people. The game only has 20% (or much less depending on how long you've played) to do with the show - we know that because we've only seen the main characters a few times in a few missions.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    after all:

    even with the dogde it will take a looooong time for get there.
    more important we see the world from two viewpoint. the game and the series, that the crossover part of this. they are both in the same world and major event will affect each other at some point.

    but the small event, like political action inside the city of defiance... will never get to the game... and i'm happy with this.
    not trying to debase anything or anyone here but the world was Terra-formed. to what extent i am unsure. all i know is san fran is pretty screwed up. for all we know that distance was halfed from the terra-forming. just my 2 cents...

    The terraforming dissolved two thousand miles of land? Doesn't seem likely.

    Let look more closely at what is being said here. The TV side will be an hour long time slot, so giving 10 minutes to commecials since the show is in the after 9PM FCC rules. That leaves 50 minutes for the show to run. Now if 20% of each show will deal with the game crossover, that means 10 minutes of time given to the game crossover. You can cover alot in that time. Think of the first 14 minutes video clip of season start as the first cross over.

    It's SyFy. Anything is possible. besides i said half, which would be 1,000 miles roughly. and it could have spiraled, shifted and tore the plates around not necessarily dissolving them.
