Not sure I can argue there other than to say I did the same with Rage and traded it in less than a month later because it had no replay value and other than the cool weapons it got boring quick, but still play Defiance regularly. But Hellbug Steve does look good next to Gizmo!

Hey Bats... that VCR is all sorts of PIMP!!!

You can buy Hellbugs? oooh where, where? Want!!

I want a tee that says "Shtako happens" I've seen them on the net but the international shipping is kind of putting me off.

I was just on the test server doing contracts with a 1200 ego toon just to get the feel you know? So a 5000+ toon shows up to "help out" and one shots everything in sight. I end up with a couple of keys and a low score. I'm pretty sure the player did not intend to grief me but there are many who will do this intentionally or not.
This bullet sponge patch is going to kind of suck for the low and intermediate player imho.
The difficulty curve could have been tweaked without reinventing the wheel yet again.

I don't see how this changes much. You can't get more than one or two keys at most conflict sites in the game now. They're basically only worth doing for the contracts and reputation tokens which you get regardless of your score.

Point taken for most. This was Kinship and I could have at least doubled my keys and exp if I had been able to hit at least a few mobs here and there. The other side of the coin is I didn't have to do anything and I would have gotten the rep.

This is starting to sound kind of sh*tty what they are doing to the game.

Damn my "old elite" bit it years ago...I guess I should say "ELITES". I think I have retired three of them. I'm playing on the stupid "Glossy" 250gb. My "Steve the Hellbug" is sitting next to "Santa Spawn" taking a swipe at him...hehehe...and the VCR...DAMN...
"Please be kind...Rewind"
