[Daholic]

Other than the ones who understand this patch is total BS, how long before we see the "Patch" that everyone has been waiting on?

It hasn't been all bad. Having new angry people on the forums is sorta like getting new content.

At this stage, is there any chance the suits at Trion would just pull people off the Rift team temporarily to get this game to where it needs to be, as far as fixes? I'm sorry, but from the consumer end, there is just no indication at all that the current Defiance team is up to the task of handling an MMO.

It's bad, trust me, when to get close friends and family to migrate to Rift last week, and I had to actually spend time convincing them that the Rift team knows their stuff, and the Defiance team is not indicative of what Trion can do.

the defiance dev team is a bad joke that just keeps repeating the same, worthless punchline, but apparently think they are a laugh riot and on a roll...

I'll be honest that I like another pvp map, that's good. Two fixes but apparently no one cares about them and the rest is just lowering stuff for garbage casuals...About the best thing is the map, lol.

I was gonna say, chill out guys we (Ps3 players) just got one patch, now we are getting another, whats the problem?

Then I remembered that our patch was delayed forever.

Very true. Trion could give them all they want + a free flight ticket to Bahamas to compensate, they would still complain anyways. Does complaining about a videogame which, if not fixed tomorrow, will probably starts the end of the world, make them feel they are special / VIP or something ? Really wondering.
Games forums are so much fun to read, could give inifnite material to a shrink to write books

Problem is that the patch is basically trash and about the only good thing is the pvp map being brought back. Guess people want crazy stuff like bugs being fixed. :\

Ill tell you whats bad..not having the heart to call it what it is and take a stance! Having people try to sway the undecided by telling them if you dislike the game, stop playing until either:
a) a new patch arrives that has content..
or
b) a new patch arrives that has new content..

you know...anything to keep the population up, isnt that something the devs should be doing???

Pathetic! Supporting a badly designed game by doing the dirty work for Trion. So thats were we are at now right? Buy a game then charge the forums and do all you can to convince everyone that not only have they not played an MMO before, but this is perfectly normal, and we should just squash our nuts waiting on the miracle patch to fix the things that previous patches created hahaha...

The reason for the change is Metrics. Plain and very simple. User drop off is around 200 and they assume with more available content, they have a better shot at concurrency.

I suspect there's something to this.

I actually find some of those changes a bit odd. The first co-op dungeon comes in right when it needs to (in my experience), and from there they all start to pile on too fast. Having some of them show up earlier seems like a strange choice.

A tip for Trion to take or leave: in the future it might help reduce the amount of strange looks you receive on certain out-of-left-field style changes if you briefly explain them in the notes. Something as basic as "We felt it was important to allow players to access certain co-op missions sooner and have reduced the EGO requirements accordingly on the following dungeons.." is really all it takes. Yes, the patch notes themselves get that point across, but sometimes it's better to start off by spelling it out so that (by the time you list the changes) people are prepared to see them.
