    No new episode missions?

    I may have misunderstood, but I was under the impression that we would be getting new Episode Missions after every episode has aired - cant see any though?

    I understand there are the new pursuits and stuff, but I thought we would be getting new Episode Missions.

    Is it just me thats bugged, or has there been a problem with them due to the patch, or are they just not going to happen?

    You didn't - it's just more lack of visibility and transparency on Trion's part.

    First thing to understand, help you figure out what's going on with the state of the game, is that it launched as a BETA client version from months ago. They're applying (and have done one today) a set of large patches that effectively rereleases the game but in it's proper retail format.

    That whole undertaking is a separate and exclusive issue.

    The content and feature related additions you speak about may be tied in with the rerelease patches or may not be. How literally they stay in step with the show's episodes, we don't know. So far, there hasn't been one - you haven't missed anything.

    I was under the same impression also. It doesn't seem like there are new missions.

    All the raging fanboys said it would be in the game today, new content and stuff to do. I predicted maybe 1 or 2 episode missions and even I was wrong, you get 6 whole pursuits!

    I've seen and read, don't remember the locations but not hard to find, that they may end up having little to do with each other other than being in the same universe with some of the same characters. The impression I got is, for five years they had an idea they failed to flesh out thoroughly before releasing it. They've said, unless they're intentionally lying, that they don't know what they're going to do with crossover content, other than ideas they're tossing around. Seems like they should have started doing research into what people would like as far as content crossover goes, with a reasonable "these are the things we can't do" list.

    How disappointing... I just finished watching the show (was downloading the game patch while the show was on) and jumped online to play the episode mission relating to the episode I just watched, and Nada
    I thought there were supposed to be new Episode Missions every week that became available after the show aired (in the US) until the next Episode aired.....you know, the games Unique Selling Point, the interaction between show and game that has been talked up so much - and which I have been really looking forward to.

    Not yet atleast, maybe they are giving people time to "replay" or do the first episode mission. (Since this is a new feature to any game, to follow a TV show and a game story).

    The first Episode Mission is no longer available, they took it away before the first episode aired because Nolan and Irisa have gone to St Louis(Defiance)

    I'm shocked this isn't common knowledge.

    They pushed back the DLC behind 2 major update patches for stability and performance.

    They do intend to release some DLC that will sink up a bit with the current episodes, just not before the executive decision to install update/stability patches first.

    Release time is unknown exactly but they did state after 2 major patches that focus on making the game better to play in general across all platforms

    Also feel I should note. They claim the reasoning behind removing content was to keep it in line with the time line of the show. Then added no content, like say, everyone in the map making a reference to it being the anniversary of the Battle of Defiance into the game. Pursuits should not be considered content.
