An Open Letter To Trion

[Tgreen]

Careful about the 'lack of updates' ... this has to do with the way both Sony and MS handle the patching process.
We'll always have to a week unless it's an emergency patch.

Critizising Trion for something that they probably hate themselves isn't helping anyone.

Agree with the OP wholeheartedly.

Sorry but this is not the case, Devs in the forums and live streams have already stated patching is already worked out and will not cost or go through a cert process.

Op I think you hit the nail on the head I am willing to bet, a serious majority of the community feels the same way you do. I know that I am one of them.

I appreciate the comment but I have worked for several years with Microsoft and Sony on their submissions. I know how it works.
Defiance was patched daily during the launch week (occasionally even twice per day) so I assume the current lull is due to Monday's big patch. Given the complications in deploying version 1.010 and the fact that it introduced a number of issues, I figure Trion is just playing extra careful and attempting to avoid past mistakes. This is all merely conjectures and should not taken seriously, of course.

OP is right about emergency events.. they should give at least 1 keycode.. 3 keycode for minor is too much.. maybe 2 max.. for minor..
besides that new system with contribution sux. i know.. for now OP should use large magazine SMG or LMG and try to TAG every blast pods while standing on the middle of the pond

Main post I completely agree 100%

[JammyThumbs]

I agree with the op 100%. Even if there was a chance of getting keycodes from roadside events it would make for an enjoyable experience. Ego 1,200 and not 1 orange weapon because I can't afford to buy bits for random chance of decent kit. Not once has an npc dropped higher than a blue and all arkfalls drop is shields and granades.

Sony and Microsoft don't handle the patching process for Defiance. Their hasn't been a title update since the first day, it's all Trion. Just a little information that needs to be known. Also this is a great strong post, agree with it all.

[Schwa]

While I agree with most of your original post, I have to admit I've lost quite a bit of respect for Trion with the Defiance release. I go as far as to refer to the Defiance team as the other Trion, insinuating the inferior Trion. The $50 I paid for Rift was a better value; it bought a deeper game, and was better-realized.

Defiance is $60 for a neat little prototype and a box of promises. There's a substantial difference between the Trion that sold me a complete game in the box and the Trion that's saying "Well, guess you gotta see what's coming!"

I look forward to comparing and contrasting the first month patch from both Defiance and Rift. I suspect Rift's continued support will completely eclipse Defiance-- the launch of Rift has already completely outclassed Defiance.

Id love this game if they Fixed the hundreds of bugs and added more content, more importantly multiplayer content to the game.
