Trion silenced The Piper, but not the critics

[DSX]

I liked it!

Same, it was a nice tie in. As someone who started last week, it was my first experience with cross over content and conveniently started in the same area I was exploring. However, because so many people were doing it at the same time, it was was difficult to judge how challenging some of the raider spawns were. Most waves were cut down immediately and so getting the intel was relatively easy with a crowd of players present. The last instanced bit though was quite fun, and pretty challenging (granted my EGO is pretty low).

After a week of play, the entirety of the (MANY) faults so far I have with this game are interface and voice related - content and actual game play has been superb.

everyone should stop trashing trion and give them a lil respect they been working round the clock to fix game for us and to release dlc

Ha ha ha ha, Your joking right! I can heel the sarcasm going through the internet! They released an buggy incomplete game, and we should give them credit because it took 5 episodes to give us lame content that they promised pre-release to tie into the show!

Why bother to keep wasting your time trashing it? You don't like it, we get that bro... But some do like the game. Those that don't find it to their liking, hey that's all good. Just don't play. Some still do, and that doesn't make their opinion any less credible than yours. Like I said earlier, I have noticed improvements. I'm not saying everything is perfect but no game has ever been perfect. Many of us find the game enjoyable and some of you don't. Why waste your energy fixating on a game that you don't like and just focus on one you do. Very simple.

Not everything has to be gloom and doom. People have put down all The games that have come out (WoW, EQ, etc) but they were improved. No company wants to see their game fail, much less one with this much potential and ambition. I am sure Trion will work it out. If not then that's their downfall. All we can do is give them time and sit back and enjoy the ride...

After all... Rome wasn't built in a day...

I was actually thinking that while i was doing the mission. It would alleviate some frustration of going through:
Yay new missions -> Oh data recorder -> Yay new mission -> oh data recorder.

Was there even a Rogue E-rep presence at the data recorder location sites? If you had to fight through them it would have been slightly better.

Yeah they had E-reps at the sites but as others have said due to the overwhelming number of people who were working on the quests at the same time most of the enemies were taken care for before a lot of people even got to the recorder parts and when they did it was pretty much just a straight shot to the area and a quick search for the item in question with no combat.

Actually, they are working around the cloak. They just have to work on 3 platforms and not just once, making it take a longer to get patches out there. I know right, its hard to coupe with but you'll get it one day .

Well given that they actually flanked, reacted in teams(shoot at one, he rolls out of the way, another one pops out while your focusing and you get hammered and then some grenades, some flanking, saw some taking cover. I would say they upgraded the AI compared to the current mobs in the game.

Yes, the AI was nice. The speed buff made them move a bit unnaturally though.

Raiders have petty decent AI. The problem is that players can kill them so quickly, that most do not even notice. They do flank, often taking a wide flank to attack from a distance, and obviously use grenades. Blitzers will also either rush you or stay at range depending on the weapon you are using.

Did you know that Hellbug Archers dodge rockets?

I'm not saying the current AI is spectacular, but compared to most MMOs that have "melee mobs" or "ranged mobs", it is pretty darned good at times.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if people even bother to listen to the data recorders and such they come across. It's all part of the storyline they're making. Okay, sure, it's not Macbeth or anything, but it's still a damned sight better than reading the three lines of text like you get with most MMO quests stages.

If I'm honest, I am one of these people who don't listen to the data recorders. I regret not doing so now, since it does clarify aspects of the story and the game. Is there a place where I can listen to the recorders that I have found?

Yeah, in the intel screen.

I always listen to the data recorders because I always find them interesting and they add to the backstory of the game.

Personally I liked the tie in. Kind of what i expected every episode though. While I will give Trion some kudos to rolling out some form of new content just about every week(new outfit, new vehicle, new missions), I'm currently wavering whether or not I want to continue playing the game. Lack of end game content, non complex easy mode instances, lack of specialized archetypes per character, and unerwhealming PVP is turning me off.

As far as the episode mission, difficulty definitely increased with the upgraded npcs, I liked that. I almost thought(to my pleasant surprise) there was going to be a timer on the part of the bunker mission where you had to shut down the terminals in the large circular room. Imagine that, pass/fail criteria... but to my dismay when Rynn said "Hurry up"... alas, no timer.

A step in the right direction in my opinion. They may be baby steps, but none the less, we're moving.

Now now, you're talking about the next e.e. cummings here.

The mission was okay. Not stunning, but then again I've never actually played any form of MMO which had new content popping up on an almost weekly basis before. I may be a little stunned by that concept.

This is exactly why i thought it was decently done myself. Keep in mind making the cinema and doing the voice work etc all takes time.Plus we did get a neat little grenade out of it. For weekly content its actually pretty decent.
