And the server is now down... Lets talk!

I've done my best to illustrate things with: http://www.defiancedata.com/page.php?id=127

But honestly that page got out of hand as there is so much stuff.

Instead of adding new dlc's and ruining grenades they could repair annoying cursor bug and "revolting hellbugs" arkfall bug when main boss is floating in air... -.-

As it is now, it's a nice little game mode to participate in when you want something a little different to the mobs AI but is not a main aspect if the game and is very much a mode to keep the PvPers happy...

PvP wouldn't even need that many fixes to be fairly well balanced. Some adjustments to the movement accuracy of surge bolters and to the way cloak works, making Thick Skinned work on the shot that takes out your shield... things would then be considerably better.

But given how few people play PvP these days, I can understand that Trion is prioritizing PvE. PvP needs a community to really thrive, but by now the majority of the most motivated PvPers are long gone... We'll see if the changes to matchmaking help. I don't play PvP very much anymore, but I'd still like to have played Military Academy more than just once :/

I posted this in another thread, but thought it'd be better put here.

The DLC, along with the previous one, made some changes to the core game files. This created the "corrupt" patch file you see in your storage. Deleting this file causes the game to create a new launcher file with the updated information. This will most likely happen with the other three DLC's.

I installed my disk to the HDD so It only took about 5 minutes to recreate the file and go back to patching. Just some food for thought.

Both of which are 'undocumented added content'.

4 more hours.... Really?

No defiance till 9pm eastern, gamebreaker dlc in full effect

The only times I see PvP communities survive is when there are 'clan war' settings available, giving clan/guild/faction leaders the ability to declare and accept war invites on/from other clans so that PvP can take place anywhere any when and the leaders get together to organise bigger events (such as full scale wars, skirmishes etc.) normally these communities also set their own rules too to remove the use of OP or broken game elements...

Very rarely are such things taken into account in MMO's now though...
I miss UO....
