All kinds are welcome with me and my friends Psychrome. I can't wait to see how the game handles it's story telling.
I would love to RP in Defiance once I can figure out a character to go with. I always try to find ways to further immerse myself into a game (Hell, I have a Kajiit in Skyrim for no other reason than to be best friends with Karjho and help the caravans.) With a world always in motion like Defiance, it would be difficult for me not to be in character when playing, unless I'm in PvP. When I get a solid character and background, i'll be more than happy to join any rp sessions.
One thing I would love to implement in-large is some system for people to stay connected RE: Defiance Roleplaying, current in-game situation in how the TV show is effecting our in-game world and the likes, does any one have any ideas?
I'm thinking maybe a designated forum / IRC.

Sorry to confuse you with this point, it is not what I meant, I was not speaking about the IP, I meant more the play style, of course I did not mean you're not a 360 player unless you play Halo, that's some idiocy I would not spout as it makes no sense, I was talking about the mobile third person tactical(Ha) shooting experience with the use of Hogs and Quads, that specific play style that Defiance lends from, so yes, I was using the play style and the fact it is very anti-mmo in the traditional sense.Quote:

Good, once the game gets released and we see how it starts I can begin story-telling.
I like the idea of roleplaying in this setting. It seems rather interesting. Though in my opinion, you are thinking too small. The whole idea is to inhabit a world as your character. There are other people living in this time, not just ark hunters. Plenty of stories to tell.
RP might pick up on here, though they need to make the game more player interactive. It seems like most people are just doing it solo style so far. Kind of like a co-op game with more people. I don't really expect it to overflow though since they're running multiple servers.
Well said. Personally I enjoy both RP and shooter games, knew before it came out that Mass Effect would be one of my favorites. I'm hoping for the same kind of mix with Defiance. Doesn't seem like the RP aspect would be too difficult since we will be all mercenaries fighting and learning as we go, that should keep the only shooter crowd from complaining. Then the rest of us can just play by our own rules. I hope there's a way to use voice chat to make communiunicate easier during a fight, but then that would probably the place that hardcore RP and shooter crowd clash the most. I'd like to think that anyone buying a MMO game buys it with the knowledge that RP comes with it in some degree, if they don't then they might be new to gaming and might not know what they are getting into.Quote:

Mhm!Quote:

If I wind up RPing on Defiance I imagine it being more along the lines of what Gothic said earlier, hanging out somewhere and having a conversation, rather than in the thick of battle.
And maybe a quick line here in there in between respawns... >.>
Hello ~fellow roleplayers~!
I'm popping in to give a shameless guild plug for an rp group of outlaws that a friend and I are starting, here!
Even if Defiance's rp community is small, hopefully we can get at least a few thriving groups going :D
Welcome to the Community link program :)
ok so pvp people are competative theese guys r going to be the *******s (i would know im that kinda person, i dont meen to be but i get angry when i dont get a kill lol) then there will be the roleplaying people, though the are the "wierdos" they are nice and full of hard and are my favorite people. so lets try to all b friends and get to know everyone even if they are wierd and if they r wierd let them be the way they are. then there are trolls....just ****in kill the trolls lol
Im still deciding on a RP character. it has to go with my play style which i have 2 main ones lol so we will see how it works.
Sorry about the title, just saying I love the Community Link Program and getting a few more members, so all is looking positive!
Weird is based on the illusion of normality my friend, so to me, deep sea diving is weird, along with taking drugs and hunting, but then as I say, normality is based on the concept of what we our selves architecture in our minds as the boundaries of all that we find normal or odd, so.. Don't be throwing the weird title around a whole lot! :PQuote:

Just wanted to give my thumbs up for the initiative! Im sure a lot more people will join the RP once the game is up and running. Always a lot of ups and downs before release!
Indeed and that is my hope that any new Roleplayer has a home where they can smooth straight into, just a open, free domain for all Roleplayers to get connected, I'm looking at a few other ways to build this community, such as Enjin (The in-game overlay is highly attractive, but I may make that move once we have a large community.)Quote:

I would love to see some rp in this game. Its always something to do if bored of all the killing.
So what I'm wondering is how many Roleplayers do you think there will be, will we see Roleplay Clans clashing over mines, Arks and land?
I don't know if i'd role play in Defiance maybe after I get used to playing for a few weeks. (Xbox 360 Player)
I've done quite a lot of Roleplaying with Guilds inside of games (on the PC) before but we took in-game fractions that were pre-made and made into a guild and Role Played off that.
Plus when I did that we got quite into it and very territorial.
I've also never role played on a console before so it would be weird for me to speak instead of typing it out.
Sadly, I am strictly talking about the PC version.Quote:

I decided i'd try to RP on console. It may be weird at first.Quote:

(like in star gate destiny or the stargate). There is so many ways you your self can expand this world by just thinking. If you want mass effect style multiple plot endings then is another one that could happen for achievements and things..
Hey Guys
Happy to see there is going to be a RP community here. Makes me want to buy the game even more. :D
I once heard it said that "symbolic reasoning" is the most significant differential between animal and sentient being. The ability to see a sword where in actuality you have a tree branch is what gives us the edge over this planet's other inhabitants. So RPing is a great tool and a facet (in some small way) of every game. Some do it consciously and others subconsciously.
No matter what your personal position is let's just try to all get along. That is main "theme" of Defiance. Community.
Personally, I like to immerse myself in a game's lore and get lost in the escapist nature of the new "world." I do so in my own ways though. I see some things as dos and some as don'ts but I keep my gaming preferences to myself unless something another player does truly impedes me from getting things done on the utility side of the game . Let's figure out how to make everyone happy (as mutually equitable) as possible.
Um... Not to some people. For me, it's the other way around pretty much! :)Quote:

What one player does when soloing affects only he/she. What one player does in a party affects the whole party. Sometimes one player really can cause all of the effort of a group to be for naught.
It's like I said, if you can RP and function as you are intended to then do it. If not then either don't group with people or simply wait to RP til you're not in battle.
(Note: I don't intend any offense. Sometimes my wording just sounds offensive. Apologies in advance.)
I wouldn't be adverse to giving ep a try on the console.. Might take me a while to get started never really played in that way before. Feel free to send me friends requests on Xbox
IMO (hi new here btw!) I think the RP'ers that I know of anyway are very cautious of investing themselves into something that they aren't very aware of, which is fair enough I'd say. Until I see Defiance in action I can't honestly tell you if I'd love it or hate it, from both sides of the coin. Do I like the idea and concept? HELL YES but if I'm not invested I won't be interested. I honestly believe that if Defiance (the TV show) works AND they cater for RP'ers in the game eventually then we'll have every "weirdo" (as it was so eloquently put) clambering at the doors.
I love Halo and loved Halo 4. But way they treat people in the Halo Waypoint forums is just plain wrong. I would be flamed and personally attacked there by certain people and no matter how many times I reported them they would never get banned or reprimanded.Quote:

The one mod there Snickerdoodle is plain horrible. She cries and bans people if they say something she does not like. It does NOT have to be against forum rules. She uses personal judgment and does what she wants.
Very poor mod.
All that did was turn me from being a current and future Halo customer to a new and happy Defiance customer.
Their loss is Defiance's gain.
I definitely intend on RPing if I can get into a like-minded clan!
Though, for me, RP is not always about IC interaction with other folks, it's also about immersing myself into their world too. ^_^ Of course, I still like me some PvP and PvE!
