I did run into a bit of an issue almost two weeks ago where I was being DC'd every time I interacted with the Crater Mod Vendor...
http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...r-and-Timeouts
and I even put something up on the forums about it!
For me to recommend Defiance to any of my PS3 buds they would seriously have to sort out the stability issues. I have been truthful with friends and told them its a brilliant game but also told them about the lag and constant disconnects which has put many of them off. I know Disco's happen on all platforms but on the PS3 its awful.
The rest of the bugs I can put up with and I'm confident content will be added but Trion really need to sort the PS3 stability issue.
Had an emergency call and I had to shoot up to Canada but I LOVE all your ideas. Also what if Trion were to put in weekly random objects to find and each week or 2 they randomize so it keeps us hunting. Each week random spots that we have to hunt down or clan or friends have to hunt down.
Trion would just have to make sure there is no pattern on where they pop up and make it so people just can't go online and look them up on where they are. Make us Ark hunters find them and make it more fun the HUNT IS ON!!!
I love the game i really do but one serious flaw stops me from trying to get friends to join Defiance
An easy to use Chat System like Rift uses...
btw i did recommend this game to two friends who both enjoy it a lot but the chat system is very hard to win people over from other MMO's honestly, sorry trion.
I play on PC as an Aussie i never DC unless my ISP craps out, I wonder if the issue is more microsoft and sony based than trion.. Still PC wins for me hands down as my entertainment system.
Honestly, this is what it would take for me to recommend this game to someone... because I don't recommend several month old betas to people that I know.
http://www.constructionlawtoday.com/...e-of-money.jpg
PS3 stability, enough bug fixes to make it look like we're not still playing a beta, and PS3 stability.
I wish the disconnects were the case for me and the people I used to play with. They became far worse after DLC 1 and Volge Sieges and Major Arkfalls (especially DM Majors) give roughly a 50/50 chance of being disconnected. Oddly enough, Afflicted Sieges never have any issues.Quote:

I think communication has become slightly worse, of course this may be from a bit of a biased opinion because of the constant, "we are getting better!" statements that seem to have fallen flat each time.
I believe they often speak without getting the facts straight first. Just look at all of the threads of members pointing out that the Trion team was wrong... and then pointing them out again... and again... etc. People might say that they were mistaken when they posted/wrote/responded about something, but that is still far from speaking with finding out the facts first.
I agree with this to an extent. There are tons of poorly thought out responses on here, but there are a good amount of people that do think things through and write well constructed responses. It is for these people (or should be for these people) that you would want to post in the forums. So that they can give their view/opinion, all with the hopes that the Trion team sees the post and makes a move on it.Quote:

I've played the game since day one... As it is, to me, it's like a that girl that you dated that you know wasn't a good relationship for you but you kept going back.
You initially got together 'cause she was hot and different from other girls. You enjoy her for a couple of months and then realize that she is quite empty inside and may not be different after all... then you start seeing really bad traits and qualities, that she says she is working on to fix. But she doesn't. So you break up.
Then you see her walking down the street one day and, boy, does she look tempting again! Nice walk, looks nice, maybe even has done a little yoga since last you met. You start talking... things heat up... BAM! Back together! Then a few days/weeks down the road and you realize, wait a second! Sure, her body is a little more firm and tight now, but there is still nothing going on in her head and she still hasn't fixed the things about herself that she said she would!
So you break up... then a few weeks later you see her walking down the road... *le sigh*
NA Xbox 360, by the way.
Your sad relationship story... *le teary eye*Quote:

I'm glad I finally found one that feels with her heart instead of with something else down South.
And I'm even more glad that I didn't give that witch my card.
TMI? I'ma stop now.
My condolences to you though.
On topic; Chicken alfredo.
Wait, what was the discussion about again? Our favorite food? No? Darn.
Recommending the game? Oh yes. Well, I'd recommend it to anyone that likes MMOTPS.
Of course, I'd let them know about the issues.
But hey, I have fun with it.
Why not let them try it for themselves?

Parts of the world where it insanely hard. So if I go tell my friend to buy this game there is some real kind of challenge for him and I to attempt to tackle.
You know, the wandering thing or random thing would be awesome. As it is, every major "group" thing in the world is announced on the map so everyone and their dog comes flocking and it's no surprise that there are other players around to help out (like help is needed anymore... ;) ).Quote:

Almost like tough emergencies. Then when people show up (and there wouldn't be 30+ ruining it due to numbers), it would seem like a more fun co-op event... way more random and not the same, "here it is on the map... let's teleport to it and grab a key..." thing.
Then you might actually be able to group up with the people you helped/helped you in a much more social way. Or just salute and drive off. *le shrug*
But they have this already. The challenge is not disconnected or see how long you can go without disconnecting! ;)Quote:

It's in FAR better condition than at launch, and DLC2 will help that even more, though the full UI overhaul would definitely help.
Don't know about the console versions though, but I don't play those.
Pretty much.Quote:

Yes, it would be good. Have random bosses that are only found by chance. The harder the boss the better the drop. Gives us reason to group up and go explore and kill. Because you want something they have. Imagine them walking into major arkfall boss too. Carnage. More stuff like this needs to happen.Quote:

They're already on the road, and the 4 of you have to chase them down and take them out by stealing some of those Raider Dunis with the autocannons on the roof that are always parked at the mines. You could still have something that feels like an open world traveling event, but without it running into arkfalls and emergencies and people trying to do racing challenges and whatnot. Also, I really want to drive one of those Raider Dunis.
Well, why do people do Sieges and Arkfalls now as opposed to Co-op maps and emergencies (generally speaking)? For the rewards, right? Sieges and Arkfalls give you the best reward(s) for the time spent (especially if you can just tag Arkfalls). So how do you get more people to do what we were talking about? Better rewards.Quote:

Award rewards (and keys) based on the amount of people at each emergency and the "tier" that they were able to get through. Would be an awesome "add" to those groups/clans that love to do their Death Marches. Would really give them something more to do.
As far as something being too hard to solo (what I'm talking about), well, why not? The game is based around co-op, correct? If a solo person can't do one, drive around the map looking for others doing them or use the broken chat to see if others are currently doing them or just do Arkfalls/Sieges/Main Missions/etc. There are tons of "soloable content" already. How great would it be to have smaller tougher non-world-telling events like these to get strangers and clans to group up for their own fun?
*le end*
I'm with you reb....I do recommend the game to my friends....but they don't play MMOs. I do try and tell them that it isn't a "traditional" MMO....but they haven't wanted to try it out.Quote:

Normally I'd agree with you here, but this game isn't based on a subscription model. They already have your money when you bought the game, and if you paid in advance for the season pass, they have even more of your money for content they haven't even released yet. Financially speaking, they could give a rat's behind if you stay or go as the only potential impact it would have on their revenue is the loss of any micro-transactions you may have made had you stayed. I'm sure they won't miss that extra $10 you may have spent on a couple new outfits that no one else but you could see anyway.Quote:

Oh, and let's not forget the whole improved weapons update fiasco that wasn't made retroactive and completely screwed anyone who had invested any serious time and/or money into accumulating (formerly) high-end legendary weapons over the last 6 months. They didn't exactly listen to the community then either. What about the broken chat channels that haven't been working properly since launch? What about PvP exploits that continue to be ignored or denied? What about other gameplay issues such as stability, or the 'statistically abysmal' lockbox RNG system, or melee weapons (i.e. charge blades) that can't even be used with your melee perks?
To answer the OP's original question, "What would it take for you to recommend Defiance?" I would not recommend this game to anyone at this point unless another more competent company took it over from Trion, which of course isn't going to happen. And even if the Trion Defiance team managed some miraculous improvement in both the game and their design decisions (which again, I don't see happening unless a completely different company took it over from them), with other better games on the horizon like Titanfall (FPS MMO) and Destiny (RPG MMO), why even bother coming back or recommending this to anyone? Trust me, it won't be long before this game is nothing more than a footnote in a long line of games that had so much unrealized potential.
XP boosts and loot boosts with Tier 3 and 4 boxes. I like the Lock boxes for me. I normally would just go to a Casino and loose my money on slots, texas holdem or blackjack so boxes are fun at times. Have a few drinks and yes spending money on the game like $40-$80. I have yet to blow $100+ yet.
As I said, I know that other people aren't experiencing the same thing as I am, but I played the game today for 6 hours straight without a disconnect. Really. I wasn't trying to make it look like my experiences are the only ones, quite the contrary. I just argue with the people that are coming across as if it's happening to everyone, always. It's not. I have had this experience in the past, just as you described. However, it hasn't been that way for me for at least two months, aside from the odd incident with the Mod Vendor at The Crater two weeks ago.Quote:

I've reported being punished for rewards at conflict sites while running with a group or the arrival of a random person, and that is being addressed with an update coinciding with the DLC on the 10th. I also reported the charged blade issues in Ark Falls allowing people to end them very quickly and how that was effecting anyone else trying to participate in them, and that's been fixed. I reported losing Perks from loadout slots when leaving the game or map traveling to someone else, and that has since been fixed as well. I know there are more, but I think I'm making my point here.
Since I personally have never played the game with the new mechanics I cannot, nor will I, speculate on how they work or if the change is good or bad. I would suggest to anyone that "hates the changes" to enlighten us on how exactly they work, seeing as they've obviously played the game with the changes to be able to say they hate them. (sorry, I deal only in what I know, not what was partially seen in livestreams within a build of the game that is not yet finished or live.)Quote:

I don't participate in the wildly overpriced player economy anyway, so that part of it didn't effect me in the least.Quote:

Player merchants seem to be flourishing with it, I see constant requests and offers going through the chat system these days.
I can say nothing about PvP as I do not bother with that side of the game. Nor can I say anything about the charged blades and melee perks as I think "bringing a knife to a gunfight" is a bad idea... lol
I have no issues with the lockbox system as I'm not expecting to get the "best" gear the first couple of weeks I play, so taking a year to get awesome equipment is exactly what I was expecting from the game. I get junk most of the time, just like everyone else does. That's part of the long-term playability of games in this genre. I totally expected this from this game.
I understand the lament of those on the PS3 with stability problems, and I never said my experiences were unilateral. However, I've seen nothing but improvement on this topic.
To sum up, I've never said in any posting here (or anywhere else) that the game was perfect. Ever. Find where I say this and I will eat my shoes without salt.
I point out the negative where I see it as well as the positive where I see it. I try as hard as I can to be a realist about these things. Within the last few months, Trion has been very forthcoming with the fact that this game was mishandled from the start. I have patience to find out what they're going to do about it in the future and, so far, I like what I see! Should that change, I'll jump off that bridge when it gets here.
They have gone into great detail on how the new grenade mechanics will work. If you bother to take the time to do a little research, you'll have enough understanding of the proposed system to formulate an opinion on it. Basically what it comes down to is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Aside from 0.0 det grenades STILL blowing up in your face 6 months after launch, grenades are fine as is. Instead, they are turning them into an ammo based system. Hunting down ammo in this game is not fun for most players. It's a tedious thing, having to constantly run to some ammo box, and adding one more weapon that relies on ammo drops isn't what most players would consider an improvement on the game. Your opinion will obviously vary here.Quote:

What was unique and good about this game was that if you managed to find a really awesome legendary weapon at Ego 1000, it was still just as awesome at Ego 5000. To completely contradict that premise by rendering everything you had earned the past 6 months obsolete (meaning, worthless compared to the newer guns with all good rolls on them) literally overnight, was a short-sighted decision that gave their older players one more reason to seek entertainment elsewhere. While I'm happy for you that your lack of luck or ambition protected you against what was essentially a kick in the nuts for a lot of other players, that doesn't mean it still wasn't a short-sighted decision that adversely affected a large portion of their playerbase.Quote:

I've seen full-fledged MMOs iron out issues like chat windows within a month or two of release. To have clan chat available one day and then inexplicably not be working the next day (which still happens, btw) is unacceptable for a game that's been out this long.Quote:

You're presuming I'm asking for handouts or that I feel self-entitled to have the best gear instantly. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I earned everything I had. I never scammed another player. I never took advantage of players less knowledgeable about the game than I was. I never took any shortcuts at all. I'm guessing I've opened 1000+ lockboxes during my months playing this game. I agree that a legendary weapon should be legendary, but the risk versus reward just isn't there. Currently in the game, you have better odds of getting a legendary from an Arkfall than you do from a T4 lockbox. The RNG system for lockboxes was quoted by Trick as being a 'statistical mess', hence my earlier paraphrase. It was only a month ago that they changed T4 lockboxes so that you wouldn't get green quality weapons anymore. The whole system needs an overhaul.Quote:

They've had plenty of opportunities to learn from some of the mistakes they made over there. Granted, this was the first MMO for the console, but I can't couch consistently bad design decisions on that basis. The bar has been set higher than this by other game studios out there who have come out with more polished products. If a game company can't do it and do it right, then someone else surely will and that's where I'll be spending my time and my dollars. If you're happier with mediocrity, then that might explain why you appear to be happy with this one.Quote:

I'm going to severely snip this lest we bore these good people to death with even bigger walls of text.
I've been there for every livestream and read what's been posted in an official capacity, ignoring the speculation and straight-up whining about said "great detail" and I still stick to my statement. Until it goes live, we don't know what it will entail. They could scrap the idea entirely while I'm writing this and leave it the same. They could come up with something totally different that we've seen so far and bring it in a future patch. I'm not entitled to inside information. Until the patch is on my system, I choose to withhold opinions until I have facts in front of me. It's just the way I do things and I shouldn't expect everyone to follow this method.Quote:

I also expected the first 6-10 months of the game to be quite shaky since it was a fairly new concept to put this genre of game on three different systems. I have a *very* limited understanding of programming and with this I expected there to be far more than common problems going in.Quote:

The point for me is that the enjoyment I get from the game outweighs the problems I run into. If they were still being as glib about everything as they were in the beginning, giving answers without finding out the facts, I would have been on my way to other things two months ago. Since they are being much more transparent about things and as long as I'm seeing forward progress, I'm willing to be patient. I understand not everyone feels this way and I won't fault them for it as long as they are civil. Nothing is gained from some of the nastiness I've seen here. (in general, nothing you've said) I value my free time just as much as anyone else, but again, I feel like I have a bit more patience than most as well as still gaining quite a bit of enjoyment from this title.Quote:

To meet this demand, game designers continue to attempt keeping up with it, pushing out content that goes untested or barely tested. Consumers get angry with it, forcing more of the same. It's not the fault of one side or the other, in my opinion, but more of a nasty cycle that will never end.Quote:

I don't find Defiance to be mediocre in any sense of the word, but I am indeed happy with most of what I've experienced in the game. That which I have not found such, I've let them know. In great length. (Ask Dah about that... SORRY DAH! lol)
DLC 2 or 3 to surpass my expectations?

This does not mean that they (and me as well) won't get tired of it after we play through it all. But for 5 bucks, it's worth it.
My major wish is just more content. I have played through the missions twice now and it's getting hard to keep interest.
For the record, I bought the game for more than 5 dollars, and yes I am a bit of a sap for being a season pass holder, and was disappointed at the last DLC's lack of new content. But I am in this til the end, whether it's 4 more good/bad DLC's or the doomsayers are correct and the game goes belly up. They'll be shutting down the servers with my character screaming "wait, I still haven't gotten my orange SAW yet!" :cool:
This completely sounds familiar... I totally know where you're coming from. I disconnect/lag out from this game much less than I would disconnect/lag out while playing a certain PS3 MMO that's out there.Quote:

Defiance isn't mediocre. It's a good game that needs polishing. A diamond that needs refining. If that's the right terminology.
