Devs (the current ones)

They say ppl who are away from you the longest notice the most change,

with that being said, I know there was a lot of us on xbox NA with this game back in the day, prob blowing up customer support and everything else with a lot of useless BS,,

some of us didn't and we was really here trying to help, some of us made twitter accounts, websites everything to try and help new players and everyone alike..

Now I come back to a game I spent a lot of time on, it left me with a really bad taste in my mouth, never did I think I would come back, just like with league of legends, hate nerf and buff patches, but that is a pvp game, so its to be expected some..

Okay, will get to it,

This Dev team and how im seeing hotfixes about issues that ppl are really voicing there opinions on, how fast these hot fixes are coming, how this Dev team is actually replying to the forums with real comments and not just being selective,

how the Devs are responding with real comments and actions, even if its not what we want to hear at that time, they are communicating,

I haven't been back playing that long, so I know there is issues that are being overlooked that prob bother ppl,

hell even the same issue that has ALWAYS been here is still here = riding with your friends in vehicle and all of a sudden you go through a area and your kicked from the ride into what seems to be a diff zone, yea that's still here,,

but the way this team is working and responding to things, streaming and playing some, HUGE DIFFERENCE now, thanks for that, its a shame this was not the case back then, but it seems to be the case now,

not sure if maybe Devs now make a cut from bits spent, but something is diff and like I said,

to see fixes come this quick, most don't seem to be complete fails, outside of when this game went f2p and that re launch with server issues, nothing like b4,

we often was not even heard or felt like we were, now its like damn, where you guys been? we needed you from the start, so nice to see this now, maybe it will bring some life back to the game or make it last for awhile longer,

but GG for that, never thought I would be saying anything positive about Anything Trion ever again, or EVER coming back to this game, but its deff a lot nicer now, thank you..

Agreed, communication is better now than it's ever been. It makes quite a difference.

All that is well and good, but until I go 24 hours without a critical error in the middle of an event I've spent 10-15 minutes on, they'll get no kudos from me.

lol, yea some things never change, will say last night and today I have had no issues, on xbox the Dcs where a lot, like every hour just might as well goto dash board and refresh to help cut down on this,

but for me on pc, I haven't had no dcs / crit errors yet, my friend I played with other day, got internal error like back when we played tribes2, they don't have but like 4-6 ram though on there alienware laptop, so might have something to do with it and there internet connection,

seems the latter was always the issue, some of us who have a good port, good internet speed both up and down often got to stay on a lot longer without dcs, just like my friend irl who lived in Oregon, when game first came out they never got dc, maybe something to do with server ping and proximity,

still shouldn't be a issue though, cause often, like you said, would come in the middle of something important that you done spent 10-15++ mins on and now you got to redo it all over again, made a lot of ppl quit..

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciated, but not necessary. We want the game to be good just like you! (that sounds like a line, but its true).

This could be the best idea I've seen in a long time! Might have to push up the priority! (Just Kidding)

No, this isn't the case.

Because i don`t want to create another thread calling all devs to arms, i`ll just use this one.
Sorry if it`s off topic but i need to say this:

I LOVE Defiance, i`ve played pratically nothing else since it`s launch in April last year. I have a PS4 that i bought in November and i barely use it and today i started playing DESTINY in is alpha stage on my PS4.
OMG, omg...

Please Devs, fix the disconections on the PS3 servers and increase stability. You have been doing a good work, or at least trying to do so, but when it comes the time... i don`t want to make prognostics.

I played around 5 minutes on the Alpha and i already made the pre-reservation of the game.

Please, fix the PS3 servers i want to keep coming here and play because i really love it.

Thanks for the reminder! I need to check my PS4 today after work and see if I was selected for that alpha.

But yeah... on my 360, Defiance is pretty much the only game that I bother playing!

Jealous :mad:
But I WILL be in the beta on PS3 next week.

NO MORE DERAIL!

To the OP - yes the DEV TEAM IS AWESOME! Drink up!
Not being sarcastic. I've been using the forums over a year and they are MUCH more responsive and helpful and even relaxed sometimes when I jump up on my soapbox.

Yes Drama, and we can talk about this because we love this game, but we also know it`s problems, and we also don`t put our heads on the sand like some crazy birds that we know...

Ps: by birds i have no intent in any kind of offense to our lovely bird of this forum :)

Not trying to derail or anything, but drop me an xbl message and let me know how Destiny is. Got mine preordered as well. Just don't have a new system yet.

Yeah, I will be sure to do that!

The first thing I plan on doing when I get home (a little over an hour from now) is fire up the PS4 and enter that code.

Bone, when the Alpha is over i`ll put some vids of my horrid gameplay:) I played all the content available to me, the only thing now is repetition and PVP. I made one Capture/Hold the flag (i really suck at PVP) and it`s very good the PVP, but it`s not for me.

I finished one Boss n hour or so ago, it`s kinda the end game of this Alpha, and it was very tough...i liked it.

And , please DEVS fix the servers, please.

HI Drac

I can assure you its our highest priority right now. We've made improvements the last few days (its tough to tell on the forums, but I have seen some positive posts from vocal members). Based on our metrics and logs we can see improvements as well.

But we aren't close to being done.

This past week we solved:

• Server crashes
• Server side memory issues.

Next on the list is disconnects. We have some leads, and are working on them now.

Last night was interesting for me.

Logged in around 11pm{est}. Did the dailies and a few DM's and incursions. Did a Volge Siege at mutant district{very happy these are fun again!}. A clan mate come online and I noticed it was close to 1 o:clock.

This is where I believe I made my mistake. I mentioned that I hadn't discoed at all since logging in a couple hours previous. We were at the final of an incursion at Diablo that had stalled because an afflicted got stuck in a wall{thought this was supposed to be fixed}, and took nearly 7 minutes to finally kill it off.

As soon as the event was over, ported to another clan mate that had announced a DM. Took nearly 4 minutes for the rendering to complete. I had UI, but that was it. No landscape. No enemies. No allies. Just black.

The enemies appeared first, and during the Monolith stage, Disco. Mind you, nothing else had rendered Logged back in and made way back to DM. This time, everything was there except the enemies. I run to the edge to wait fr them to show up, and disco again.

I log back in and join just as the monolith is going down for the last time. Take a few shots and disco for the last time of the night. Msg'd clan mate and told him I was done for the night, at 1:30am.

What would have been a good 4-5 hour session was cut short because of the ****ty stability of the game.

Oh, it's pretty damn phenomenal considering it's only an alpha build of the game. Ironhide and I couldn't stop gushing over the game while we played it together both Friday and Saturday.

I`ll try to make a third char, just to explore all the skills available.
Creep have you explored the map to your right in direction of the sea!? LOL, the map is huge, the problem is that if you go to places were your not intended you will get enemies with levels like : ??, or 77 lol.

Made the pre-reservation, it`s a must buy.

Yeah... Ironhide and I scoured the (so far playable) map over the past few days and we have found a decent amount of hidden goodies, powerful enemies, etc etc.

It was nice to see three playable races to choose from in the alpha, but it's exo warlock class for me! :)

That last boss in the Devils Lair give me some trouble and i liked it :) LOL

The Cruxible , i`ll just stay away from it, it`s PVP. I made a Capture and Hold the flag and it wasn`t bad, it`s just that i`m not very good in competitive games.

I'll play it in the finished version, because I heard rumors that the alpha wasn't properly keeping track of the PVP currency. So I stuck with playing though the available PvE content, exploring Old Russia for hidden goodies.

I played the Cruxible by mistake, didn`t knew that was PVP.
Do you know if we get the progress saved to the game or will it reset? I bet it will reset because, after all, we start at level 3 and we must have skiped a good part of the game intro.
It`s done, i already made the pre-reservation on the store, i have a clock counting down LOL

No idea for sure, but it almost doesn't even matter to me... the game is that much fun to play! Some developers carry that kind of information over across builds, and some don't - it's all up to Bungie.

EDIT: I love how that game draws inspirations from several other sci-fi sources/video games. Finally, a reason to play my PS4 for long intervals!

HAHAHAHA, I retweeted that message from Bungie no more than ten minutes ago.

And I never thought I would get so hooked on a game's alpha build... but it happened this weekend!
