Well, can we get some official word on this patch "fiasco"?

[Elandriel]

They said this, they promised that, something else was implied, ...
Basically, no one here knows what was actually promised and what not. But I think I can safely say that a vast majority here was under the impression (rightfully so) that patch is coming on 15th.

So, can we have some official word from Trion explaining what is happening with this patch and it's release day? What was promised and not delivered (if anything) and why. How this is going to run in the future. When can we expect changes (patch, story, main, side, pursuits, etc) and how they are going to be implemented.

official word would make these forums die and no 1 would have anything to talk about.

So, can we have some official word

Bird is the word.

Meanwhile, how is it a fiasco because this major patch isn't out when they're constantly pushing out updates?

"Our team is working day and night to provide updates and add more polish" seems to explain they're working on it. I'm sure if the forums ask nicely enough, they can oversee the entire process from start to finish. Really... these forums are a pretty good example of why gamers and game developers have a bad relationship.

Work takes time, and all anyone here does is complain because the devs work wasn't good enough and isn't fast enough. If you guys think how they're doing things is such a "fiasco" why don't you put in a resume and tell em how much better you could run things!

Didn't they say it would be out the 15th-16th?

I KNEW it, the moment it turns 15th, people just jump the forum and go QQ-i-demand-answers-fail-patch-thingies.

Really, mark my words, when they roll out the patch, these exact same people will go like 'patch doesnt bring content, just fix, fail trion!'.

Maybe it's just me, but when you put certain word in quotation marks, it means something. Or your reading skills are not on par with your writing skills.
But still, go check what those quotation marks do to the meaning of a word. You will learn something.

Hello all

There are quite a few threads about the patch and when it is going live.
I want to take the opportunity to clear something up regarding the date.

There is much talk about who said what and when the patch will come.
The 15th isn´t just any made up date from a forum troll. No.
In fact, Nathan Richardsson who is the Executive Producer wrote this in his "diary" on April the 6th, that the patch will come "around the 15th":

(Here a link to the post: http://community.defiance.com/en/201...till-have-lag/)

My personal thoughts on this topic: They should announce a date and a time when the patch comes. Every other MMO manages that. If you cannot make it on the 15th, then don´t promise it. After all the troubles (which are still ongoing, btw) since launch I wouldn´t joke around with the community like that. People are only going to rage more.

It quotes, easy eh?

Or we can simply go off of the wonderful concept of "context"

By which I mean if one reads the post, regardless of the (un)intended meaning you were trying to convey, one can infer meaning based on the content of said post.

The context being, "We don't have the patch. Why don't we have a patch? When will we have a patch? Your statement about the patch wasn't sufficient!"

"Fiasco" and fiasco don't have much of a difference in this context.

Edit: Considering we're quoting now...
I do believe we would technically be "around the 15th," although I'm sure that would be relative to your perspective on time.
