$150 xbox 360 vs. $1000+ gaming PC/Laptop. That alone is a deal breaker for A LOT of people.

So you're both poor and stupid... I see...

Look at it from this perspective; Not everyone has overwhelming patience, and when you pay $60 for a game, it's generally thought that you would get to play said game. Release day or not, I personally think that people have a right to complain if they cannot access what they have already paid for, even though they come across as impatient.

However, these delays in gameplay are relatively trivial compared to the possibilities of what might have happened, so I would tend to agree that people need to learn some patience, especially if it is in their best interests anyway.

Slainte & Namaste for shizzle my brizzle

Everyone calm down...and remember this is Sledgehammers fault!

why do you feel like you deserve compensation for a game that will always be under maintenance?
It's a MMO.
watch some netflix.

I bet you have fun watching the chaos on these posts.

and given the history of MMO launches I'd say this one is on the good side of things :)

so many people butthurt in here... quite amusing... They must wear fur boots too...

Thanks sledge now everyone stop complaining and go back to killing things in the game

The only thing I have to say to this is as follows. You only have yourselves to blame. I only say this because the majority live in a fantasy land of instant gratification. You want a quality polished product & that takes time. If they announce a release date they have to do the best they can to hit that dead line, it may not be perfect but it the best they can give you within the time frame they are allotted. On the other hand if they didn't release this on said date because they wanted to polish it a bit more I can only imagine the amount of asinine QQ there would be about it.

What's that last thing that you created or contributed to that was perfect the first go?

So a bit confused on the whole server downtime... I've been on all day pretty much, and just got kicked off the server lol.. way confused when it says server shutdown at 8:10, when I got kicked of aprox 8:40...

Pc and ps3 servers are up according to their twitter so pc and ps3 players get outt :P

Do us all a favor; build a bridge and get the **** over it.

What if the bridge I built was the Golden bridge?

I hate to be obnoxious but this is getting out of hand the updating every few hours and such running out the time that some of us spent on boosts. And I don't mind it so much as long as their are some rewards for these major inconveniences so please get this thing working right and give us som collateral for the amount of time we have wasted waiting for this game.

That's outstanding. Rolled back about 10 minutes of my game time. No big deal at all. Fantastic work, Trion/others.

Time flies. When you read the forums.

Hrm, I think there was a 30-45 minute roll back, I was working on Madera pursuits and now have to redo some side missions, a time trial, and a hotshot....Nothing saps my enthusiasm to play like "do overs".

This is most certainly true.

And now its back up right when they said it would be. Cant get much better than that.

Um I'm playing Defiance on the Xbox (Preordered from Gamestop) And the only time I get lag on it is when there is like 50+ players doing a arkfall at one time! And I don't plan on returning this game anytime soon!

Its still going. problem is solved yet it propels itself forward. closest thing well ever have to a perpetual motion machine

Show abruptly ends midway through the premiere for maintenance.

In the meantime, enjoy Mega Octopus VS Giga Shark part III.

or the constant repetition of the posts

I think the biggest thing for us console players who also played pc MMO's actually know what MMO stands for. All these little teens or console only players from COD or Halo probably just saw DEFIANCE SHOOTER mmo. And thought that MMO was like a fancy trademark logo, looked past it, and got the game expecting game lobbies and rage fests over local mic chat.

I just que'd back in. Hopefully it lasts.

I'm sure sledge doesn't listen to these whiny little turds. It's more complicating than they understand and they prolly will never understand. I think this is in my top 5 games and its solid. So it has a few connection issues? Whatever. They will work it out eventually. Anyway. Keep doing what you're doing sledge. This is impressive. It's the beggining of amazing games to come. A++ game right here!

lol.. no I'm saying I have been trying to play for the past 5 days and haven't had a single day where the servers where just up and running fine long enough for me to get significant play time.. i bought tier 4 lockboxes when i was able to actually get in the damn servers and all i got was ****ing ****ty as shotguns.. I literally have like 9 purple tier shotguns, all of which i will NEVER use.. So what I'm saying is that the damn servers keep going down and they have all these known issues with the game that we (the buyers) deserve some free in game currency.. Hell a ****ing legendary weapon will suffice.. preferably a pistol.. just throwing that out there sledge..
