Thanks to everyone at Trion. DLC 5 gets it right. No more do we have 100 people crushing 3 baddies. The game now requires skill and planning. If you don't like the changes, I recommend Candyland or Chutes and Ladders. Games should be challenging with a real threat of losing, otherwise why play? DLC 5 makes Defiance the game it always should have been, in my opinion. Great, great job Trion!
Yes, because you're some kind of "child" if you would prefer that a single contract mission didn't take 45 minutes to an hour to finish. I like how ad-hominem and false equivalencies are the best the apologists can come up with.
Some people really like bullet sponges is all.
I like the game a lot more now too. However, a lot of people do like casual games, which this started out as. As such, there is a giant shock going through a lot of the vocal community.
What's the point of Farmville? I dunno, but people play it.

I like sponges. The kind you clean with and that little dude that lives in the sea. ;)
I think some of the scaling instances need to be looked at. That being said:
I really do like the level of intensity in the Expert Co-op's that I have participated in. Glad that there is now a hard mode. The rest of the world, not so much. It shouldn't take a group of 5 ppl 20 minutes to complete Parrabas, when I can do it solo, for more reward, in 1/2 the time.
Double edged sword that The Company fell onto, IMO.
I LOVE that little dude!!Quote:

I love a challenging game just as much as the next competitive multiplayer does, but I also loved how defiance let you play alongside everyone no matter what level, and was a "social" type experience. I didnt play defiance for the "challenge" because for one, the mechanics arent really good enough imo. So I, for one, am kinda partial and didnt want the change. Not because I like chutes and latters and powder-puff games, but because I played defiance because it fulfilled in other ways.
I like Candyland, Chutes & Ladders not so much :) some people like the changes, some people don't; not necessary to be insulting

- A daily contract should be done within 10 minutes. Regardless of the amount of players present and their EGO's. The reward will otherwise not be worth the trouble.
- A new player or low EGO should never be confronted with feeling like their shooting a waterpistol and dont even scratch the badguys in open world, no matter who else is present at the scene.
- Intentional and unintentional griefing by higher EGO's (scaling up the enemies on purpose or by accident) should never been made possible.
On a positive note:
- I played the expert coop (i'm EGO 4400'ish). I suffered, i died a lot and loved it every ince of the way!
The rewards however are bad! Trion, please! A week of grinding and being succesfull for 1 mod? 2,5 weeks for a weapon? 12,5 weeks to be able to pass that one longlasting pursuit? So much Arkfolge required to upgrade a legendary weapon that we already own? And so little Arkfolge to be found per day? But am offering a very expensive shortcut in the store?
Trion, it smells like pure greed. And that's a bad thing. Sure, i understand you're a commercial company. And yes, you need to make money that got lost somewhere else in the whole Defiance-expedition. But could you please TRY to keep it within reason? No one at the company ever feel like their doing a bad thing? Must be! First you charge 80 bucks for a random given Legendary weapon, and now this... 20 bucks for 1000 EGO levels. C'mon...
Chutes and Ladders has actually been around for 4200 years.
