Please bring back Episode missions (that expire)

[BattleTorn]

I was actually saving my episode missions for the night of the show. (foolishly not knowing they EXPIRE)

So, on the night of the premiere, I had no star-missions to play, cause I apparently waited too long.


Surely new players are also going to want to play these prequel missions. Having Nolan out east doesn't really break the immersion, I can accept that my character may be on a different time-line than the show.
Or at the very least, people should have the freedom to follow the show/game at their own pace.


Can we please no longer have missions that expire?

The game has been strongly advertised to show the TV character (Nolan and Irisa) before the show.. why am I being robbed of this because of the date I started the game?

Or when I chose to play them? (which was April 15th, the evening before the show aired!)

they said to make sure to get these done b4 the show....oops

Had you done the missions in a timely manner, you would know WHY they were supposed to be done BEFORE the show premiered. While you might want your character to be in a different timeline, the rest of us are happy with the status quo.

In the future, do the missions when you're supposed to.

there was a message up on the login saying they expire on the 15th since launch, your fault for not reading

I would love the episode missions to be brought back because I have created another character and wanted to visit these episodes, these hard worked on missions with characters that are from the show but I wanted to have my new characters that I start to be involved with these characters. As a game designer I would not be happy at all to have something I worked very hard on in a game be in it for only 2 weeks and then thrown away like it never exsisted. Everyone of these threads always meet up with people who don't actually care about the actual thread post and always combat it with trollish behavior and I for one am standing behind the OP on this. Content being removed from the game is not acceptable period unless it is designed to be a Holiday Event where it comes around once a year like the events in WoW or other MMO's

My only issue is that I didn't get a chance to play them due to when I joined the game. /sadface Guess I'll deal.

[Gengar]

haha it clearly said at the news feed "make sure to finish by april 15th"
I got mine done on day 1!

I don't think they'll bring them back, better pay attention to the news feed man! Best of luck.

Considering the fact that they have to employ someone to take the time to write the mission and they have to pay for voice acting for said mission as well as all the hard assets(texture skins) I'd say it's fairly safe to assume that at some stage we'll have all the episode missions unlocked again even if it's only for a brief time. Probably at the end of the first season, in preparation for a second season to allow people to catch up on "the story so far". Otherwise Trion would have just thrown money away, which doesn't really make good business sense.

Faalagorn has recorded these episode missions for you, you can watch the 4 missions for episode 1 at: http://www.etaew.net/defiance/episode.php?id=1

Taking out episode missions is like telling a person they can't watch the first episode ever again once the second episode of the show airs.
