Trion needs to do somthing quick or there hardcore players are leaving,

Why do "hardcore" people play MMOs at launch?

I see the exact same complaints in every MMO forum not long after launch, always by the hardcores who have burned through the game and put in thousands of hours.

You'd think they would learn?

I seen these whines since I started playing online with Dreamcast's Phantasy Star Online and I thought that was a better made game then some of the MMos I have played lol. Point is these people take games WAYYYYY too seriously. Thus far I got my money's worth and ANYY MMO is for a 'FACT' a better investment then ANY offline game for one very GOOD reason.

You play a game til the end no matter what you do there is nothing more except a few DLC.
With an MMO you could be playing the SAME GAME for over 8 years. There is a reason people keep playing the same game for that long people.

Whine all you want gents. I need someone to put a smile on my face and you alls doing a good job =)

Its a great blow sh** up game and I love doing that,

Min max crowd could get some fun here but im not sure the weapon mods and a half dozen skills is enough to keep that kind of player interested.

I think they want to get rid of the hardcore players.

Why else would they erase our arkfall kills, and total enemy kills and such? There is no way they didn't have that data saved somewhere else, and they could get it back if they wanted. Hell, I had over 26,000 total kills, I already got the pursuit that needs 25,000, and they reset it back to 0. Honestly, I believe this was intentional to ditch us.

I think they were trying to free up space on their servers honestly.

I know you're frustrated and I can understand why you would be but... Why make things up just to buttress your case? That Forbes arcticle DOESN'T say Trion spent $105 Million on the GAME. It says NBC Uni/SyFy/Trion spent that on the TV show and the game. The best sources I can find say Trion spent $30 Million on developing the game and that NBC Uni/SyFy matched that for the game, so $60 Million for the game.

Now, you can say, "60 or 105, I don't CARE! It's still too much for what we've seen so far!!!". My response would be is we don't know how much content they already have completed and are waiting to roll out when the show episodes calls for it and when the base infrastructure of the servers/code is ready for it.

So, two points, it wasn't $105 Million and we don't know how much of that they have alredy spent or how much game they have already created.

One thing we do know, is what we saw in all the early vids.
So yes they have tons of content already made for that game.
Just remember the full interactive weather system they showed us, the fact that they could change anything they wanted on the fly, the fights in game changing the TV series, the Cerberus resources gathering with friends in open world, using combat vehicles in pve and arkfalls, adding new content 10 minutes after every episodes etc etc...

These are vids that made me bought the Ultimate Edition for this game, the digital as well as tons of stuff in the store to support the devs. I was very happy for what they showed me at 1st. And more than willing to help and participate.

Until, i got the same Alpha build i played in Alpha...
Still exactly the same little console shooter that we have now, minus some pursuits, and bug fixes.
Doesn't worth the $400.00 i spent on this game at all...
Not even the digital goods i received man, i'mean C'MON. White-Blue rating stats weaps??
With the exact same skin as any other weaps droping from regular mobs??
No way MacDeath, send me $400.00 if you think it's normal man, and i will shut it.

This shooter, should have been a $24.99 Steam tittle.

All I can say is: Yeah, I know.

Trion says "Are you kidding?, we basically gave them a crap, cheap product, full of problems, and not only does the fanboys love it, they take up for us..haha the other 3/4 of the money went into baby mommas!"

If somebody at the meeting didn't at least WANT to say "Hookers and blow!".... Trion, I am disappoint.

Don't you worry, never fear. Trion's content will soon be here!

But for how long before they take it away?

My condolences. I would have never paid that much for this game even if they delivered everything they pretty much all but promised with the videos they released advertising it. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I heard, the alpha weapon progression was actually fleshed out and felt rewarding, and they decided to scrap that for the crap we got now coupled with a RNG mod system where half the mods aren't even available in game.

@op, it's starting to look like Trion doesn't even care about the more goal orientated crowd, they've already trivialized the only EGO lock in the game by lowering it even more. They're catering to the crowd that don't even need a story or content, just throw them in a room with an ammo box and hordes of enemies and they'll be content.

when sledge was in on twitch answering questions, someone asked what is trions plans for hardcore players, was it ignored because there is no plan or was it the fact he didn't see it.

my guess is anything planned is going to take months to put in the game for the hardcore players so why answer the question and just play it off as he didn't see it.
