Coming back to try out Defiance again. I have a character that was at the final boss (or he was the final boss when I left) but I'll probably make a new one just because. Anything special I should know?
I got the DLC, but I seem to remember some weapon types just weren't around at the start of the game. How long before I can get one of those nifty melee weapons?
Download Time Remaining: 1:48:18. :D
Don't expect much...
I'll speculate the reasons and frustrations perhaps that you felt and were factored into your leaving previously will be the same or more as you return.Quote:

- If you left because there wasn't enough to do after the story apart from grind arkfalls, that has mostly stayed the same, they added a new type of arkfall (Dark Matter) and two siege types (Afflicted and Volge).
- If you left because you ran out of story content, that has stayed the same, proposed DLC 3 but who knows when that could arrive.
- If you left because the gear grind was the end game, that has stayed the same.
- If you left because the gear was only obtainable with keycodes and lockboxes, that is mostly the same, you can now get legendary from the top tiers of siege rewards and dark matter major arkfalls?.
- If you left because bugs were unaddressed, some bugs have been fixed but a number still remain.
- If you left because grinding weapons / kills for pursuits left you burnt out, that has remained the same.
- If you left because the chat system did not work, that has remained the same.
- If you left because everyone but a handful of people rendered as the same model, that has remained the same (PC users may get a fix at DLC 2).
- If you left because there was no hardmode co-op maps, currently that is the same although arkfall interiors is coming in DLC 2.
- If you left because daily and weekly contracts were obscure and essentially meaningless, that has remained the same, although contracts will be tied to conflict sites and displayed on the map in the future.
- If you left because of the horrible console based UI, that has remained the same, although we will see some changes in DLC 2.
- If you left because of the lack of developer transparency that is mostly the same, Trion have made an effort and showed off DLC 2 earlier, but potentially that was unwise as people don't want to wait for it. They answer weekly questions, but a lot of answers are vague.
- If you left because patches and fixes were delayed because of simultaneous release on all platforms, that remains the same.
- If you left because of overpriced store items, that remains the same.
- If you left because of disconnects and patcher issues, that remains the same.
- If you left because of the same combat system over and over again, DLC 2 will introduce potion type boosts and deployable boosts.
- If you left because the story missions were unable to be played in groups, DLC 2 will allow groups to replay any mission together.
- If you left because there were no new co-op maps, that remains the same.
- If you left because PvP matches didn't pop, that is currently the same although we are told coming is a new queuing system that should allow that to happen more frequently.
Edit: continue to add a few

Don't forget their handling of pre patch weapons, which may be why a new character was started.
Great words of advice. ^^^Quote:

Aside from what everyone is imposing on you. I would say give the game a try and make your own decision. You've already made the initial purchase so giving it another shot is free of charge.
There have been some changes that may interest you but I urge you to make your own decision.
