We deserve information, don't we?

[Daholic]

The best thing Trion can do right now is release any kind of info of continuation, so the masses will feel better, spread the news and be merry.

You know, because there is no possible way Trion can be lying since most companies never release bogus info just to keep the masses happy.

People were happy when they gave everyone boosts.

Trion has too much money riding on this project to just scrap it. Calm down.

People were happy when they gave everyone boosts.

Those boosts also made weapons and such drop left and right, seemed like it was a lot more than a 10% increase.
Unlike the weekend we just had where it appeared as drops were actually worse for some people or the same for others.
There was a clear difference between those free boosts that were given as an apology and the weekend boost they just did.

As a paying customer...I say that because I paid extra for a Season Pass and was not allowed to get a refund.

Those of us deserve an open letter stating that Trion will be supporting Defiance throughout the Season Pass content that was promised...5 instalments of said Season Pass.

It is one thing to layoff employees, that happens in all businesses, but the customers should still be informed if they will have a game in the near and not too distant future, in other words till years end when said Season Pass content was promised.
The TV show while independent of the game has been renewed, they told us such, that means at least X amount of weeks shows.

It is my belief that we deserve the same consideration as to where the game stands and how long it stands.

Not a rant but a concerned customer.

Im sure Richardsson will be running along in the next day or two with some rousing blog speech of commitment followed by vague misdirections of what they're going to be doing soon(TM) and making some bland humor attempts like he always does. Dont worry.

No, you don't deserve inside information about a privately held company, or a public held company unless you're a stock holder.

Where in shtako's name do some of you get this idea that you deserve things? You EARN things. Buying a computer game doesn't earn you inside information. Good grief.

Doesn't give players much confidence when their flagship game goes free to play and a little while later, the layoffs and the admitting that some defiance team members were let go. They made sure to note that Rift wasn't affected by this so that means it hurt Defiance. Given their bang up job on delivering the transmedia experience and fixing things after they break them or fixing things that were broke since the testing period. They better have a good explanation ready to roll about this.

they got the best explanation they need . They wasnt getting it done so we kicked em out and gonna get people who can.

On a side note from all the "bad" news as of late, how many people are going to continue using "Jek" and "shtako" in their conversations? Just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Sledge has (somewhere) come in to say that they are continuing with the planned DLC and related content.

That's really all you're owed.

Well to be honest im not realy that bummed out. I hate it when anyone looses thier job but the simple fact is they droped the ball then kicked it over the fence. Atleast now theres a good chance they will get people in that will do a better job of keeping it flowing.

And keepeing the playerbase atleast better pacified. Seen this happen before and it is better they did this in this early a stage in the game. Leaves alot of room for a comeback. much more than say 6 or 8 months in anyways.
