If the system is booted with the "quiet" kernel command line option, no messages are shown by systemd. You can either remove "quiet" from the kernel command line or use the systemd.show_status=true|false systemd.sysv_console=true|false systemd.log_level= systemd.log_target= boot options to control that in a fine grained manner. Understandably, users are worried when the screen just stays black for a while without a feedback from the system. So a future update of systemd will slightly change this behaviour: whenever there is a service that failed or takes longer then a certain threshold (iirc it's something like 5 secs), systemd will automatically switch into verbose mode. [1] has more details. This requires a newer upstream release which is currently prepared for experimental and will land in unstable hopefully soon. I hope that addresses the concerns most users have with the current behaviour.
