Trion Yanked Are Chains About Episode Mission, Etc...

[Cyripax NeoPrime]

And thank you Fatal for the confirmation as regarding yet ANOTHER mmo, that was released not even half completed with huge promises juuuust for us to jump on the wagon, spend big bucks: (Over 400$ here so far by the way) and then giving us, an Alpha prototype to play with while waiting months for those companies to have time to work on it...

No offense , but if youve been happy enough to spend that much then why complain

And if youve been so unhappy with it so far, why the heck would you have spent so much after the initial game purchase? Theres been problems since the beginning and we all know theyre not going to be ironed out over night. Why not stop at 250$ ?..., 300$? You obviously like what youve got in your hands enough to keep going and going and going. Cant blame trion or get mad at them that youve spent 400 dollars on a game thats state has been appearent since launch.

The 'your character' here could be a figure head, a selected character, etc. As the main missions are the same for everyone any character who shows up as 'The Bay Area Ark Hunter' is your character.



Nolan and Irisa started in-game, and are now on the show. They will most likely come back as well.



The show and game are constantly reinforcing each other, thus far they have done well in reflecting events from the show into the game.



Agreed.



They do.



We do, and we might.



Sadly while this was the intent and plan most likely when this was filmed, this was done away with not of Trion's own choosing.



And it's what you'll get, it's a work in progress constantly as it is an evolving story much like the show.

I am simply fed up man, spending BIG bucks on products that are advertising what IS in the game...
Only to find out later that it is actually NOT in the game, and that we will have to spend more (DLC etc) to get more content and wait for months to start to see tiny little changes drop by drop, over the course of like 3 - 5 years...

Buruko, if i go buy anything at a store (Product ) and i bring it back home, and after i open the box, i find out that the product i just bought has been "half assembled" i will return it to the store, and demand another one that is "Fully Assembled" as i paid for it, and i saw in the ad that they showed me what that product was for me to buy it in the 1st place.

If the guy at the counter says to me: "Ooooh no no, sir, it is the right product, you just have to wait 3 months to a year before they start to ship you the pieces you need as advertised, hehe you see?"

Do you seriously think i will say " Ooooh well OK!! -giggles- "
Then go back to my house and wait??

Because that is what you would do right?

$400 eh? I'm pushing about $515 here, but I'm not sweatin' or regretin' it.

I am not regretin' it either, since i'm here since the Alpha test, but what i'm saying is that, when i buy something because videos, or ads i saw told me it will be THIS, when i get it, and i receive only THAT, something is wrong, but since it seems to be now, VERY common around the gaming industry, we should all just sit back and say nothing about it...

That is why companies always only do that kind of false marketing inside virtual worlds man,
Because they cannot do that with real physical products, sold in real physical stores as they know too well, that the next morning, everyone will be back at the store in a massive line-up to ask for a refund or exchange.

This has to change.
When we buy a product, no matter if its virtual goods, games and mmos...
We have to get what was advertised at 1st, inside the original package,
And not months later with additional fees.

Or...

Then to all those companies, simply make your ads the right way, and tell the truth to all your customers, saying : " Most of what you see here, and what we are promising you in this game will be implemented LATER over the course of (Amount of time)
So what you will buy at 1st, will be the basics only".

And that's it, not complicated, honest and everyone is happy.

At the very start of the game myself and many other were under the impression that after every episode we would see new episode missions and episode events. Now, just after the 2nd episode they still haven't got the 2nd set of episode missions out or anything to do with the 2nd episode on tv.

This isn't the way I felt it would be and I feel lied too! Anyone else?


EDIT: I was very high and in a rush when I made this accounting for the word 'are' when I real meant 'our'..... My bad

I can't take this seriously. I know you had an edit saying you said are instead of our, but then you used too instead of to and even in the edit you said " when I real meant" instead of "really meant."

Who knows when episode missions are coming. We're not lied to, we're just constantly disappointed as nothing is actually coming out as planned. And the content we have is meh. Play something else for now, come back later. Might wanna lay off the herb until you can spell/type better as well. Just sayin'.

I like you Bleu, man.
You actually very well described the general felling that is growing more and more as weeks are passing by.
And yes it is kinda sad and dissapointing same time, as we do not know why everything has come to an halt.

Would be very nice if like, i don't know Sledge, Dizzy or someone else could explain a bit more to us, not going into tiny details, but in general, at least what is going on as we speak regarding the state of the game itself.
Explaining if this is it for a while, DLC in like 3 months, and Playable episode missions only next year, why did they remove more that 3/4 of what we had in the microstore during beta, and will it stays like that. That kind of things.

That would be greatly appreciated honestly.

[Regrets]

They yanked everyone's chain about it being an MMO too..Karma is happening as we speak.

You need a pizza dude
Honnestly, remember when I was like "WTF ? Is that all of the content ?" in Alpha and Athelan and I had a little fight ? I knew the game wasn't worth 60$ (content-wise) though I still bought it because the game itself is great and I bet on what it can be.
I can't blame Trion for this, I chose to bet and have still hope (though not holding my breath, it's a matter of months )

[Vuule]

I see an Ep1 and Ep2 pursuit. So far, there have been 2 episodes. (Yes, the pilot was 1 episode, not 2.)

[Thee Apothecary]

i only expect episode missions for razor rain etc nothing else really i was hoping volge attack to be at end of season and have us implemented in an episode mission to help around that but atm its character building

[Booshy]

I can't speak for anyone else, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but personally I figured by the way they were talking that there would have been a decent bit more than what we've seen so far regarding new content and crossover between show and game. If they have all this awesome stuff, shouldn't they be pushing some of it out early to hook us and make it seem impressive to people? If they are going to have some down time between updates I would figure later in the season. I think it's disappointing personally and probably not a good sign of how the whole season will go. A few pursuits for a few weeks in a 12-13 week tv show season? Not that impressive, but that's just me.
