What is the One thing that you would like fixed, suggestions here

it would seem that we need a place to collect all the suggestions in one place and count them up and vote out of say the top 5 or 10 and it would then be nice if that one item could be solved. do that once a month, once very 3 months and pretty soon the players have something to look back on and can say, 'well you know what, they did fix that one thing.'

But we have to agree on what that one thing should be and no pvp bug bash, that went nowhere and solved none of the underlying issues that plague pvp and will do forever.
and actually think about whether your suggestion will be good for the game, we don't get many chances, a motorbike wont fix the game, but reducing lag or improving inventory systems might well make it or break it for a lot of players. especially when a hoverbike as cool as it may be will only be available for 3 weeks of the year at a premium, and not for the rest of the year, maybe if it was put in the bitstore for less than a 1/4 of the price enough players might buy over a whole year it might make some money for the game. It would also be nice if that money went on defiance, maybe to improve lag or stability, or a new expedition, adding jackpot rigs to expos. something.

so i propose we add suggestions to this thread and see what the actual problems we are having by totaling up repeat suggestions.

17 vote fix lag, including pvp
13 vote auction house/trade system
5 vote content with actual reward at end (including expeditions)
2 vote be able to turn off/down others weapons fire
1 vote fix disconnects
1 vote trade currency
3 vote improve inventory management (including item transfer)
1 vote fix explosive weapon reload glitch
1 vote increase huntmaster spawn rate
1 vote solution to map quirks
1 vote glitched achievements missions. (including current glitched missions at crystal springs.)
1 vote fix clan list
1 vote Fix error #5122:87

I supose the biggest Issue to tackle/improve would be lag, both in pve And especially in pvp where the lag makes it seem like players are hacking because there is no other explanation other than hacking right. fix the lag and players will pve more and also pvp.

if not that, I don't want to say it but more content, a mission here a coop there, an expo here would give players something to do which is what they are here for.

Wall of Text Incoming

The lack of meaningful content with worthwhile rewards.
Right now we have Events that are incredibly repetitive and Expos, which are a huge timesink with low reward payout that focuses on spamming a huge amount of enemies which just get spongier and deal more damage as the rounds go, without any innovative mechanics. By other words, they are "Co-op Playlist" with no fresh mechanics, which require you to have a great deal of time in order to get meaningful rewards.
In my opinion, Operation Siren Song (the Monterey mission) was quite entertaining and what I believed to be a step in the right direction. Sadly, with the times it takes for the time to bake good content such as said mission, due to an obvious shortage of resources, and due to the game getting the Archeage treatment, trying to seduce people into buying a Patron Pass for having a regular game experience (nothing against Patron Pass, but it should be something that boosts rewards to a point higher than usual, a point where you think "Wow, that's a lot of loot", not something required to make the game worth playing after the multiple reward nerfs), making the game incredibly grindy to play otherwise.

But better server stability would be nice as well, although from what I've experienced from their other games, their servers in general are unfit for MMOs.

A tradeable currency that's actually valuable. For mid-tier items, the item barter system works fine, but for the high-end stuff, if you don't have exactly what the other person wants, there's no reason for them to trade. There's some items I'll basically never be able to get my hands on, just because everyone who has them also has everything that I have, too. What we need is tradeable currency -- not scrip, which has been exploited to worthlessness on PC. What we need is...

TRADEABLE ARKFORGE. Yup, everyone needs it, everyone uses it, and all Trion would have to do is make it tradeable. Not only is it something that everyone can acquire through playing the game however they want, but it also has excellent sinks in place. High demand, easy to acquire, lots of sinks...a perfect currency. It would make the economy so much better...I might even keep playing after Destiny 2 hits.

the exchange.... i would rather deal with any lag it may or may not have caused because its just as bad without.....i want the exchange back...

Along with OP's suggestions, a revamped system of inventory management would be nice. I also mentioned this in a previous, unrelated thread, but having a way to make non-event worthwhile would be nice. No one does the non-event majors anymore because there's no incentive (unless it's for daily/weekly contract). I suggested that what if non-event majors gave a chance to drop armistice jps. Just a suggestion, but I feel something can be done to make them worth doing.

Stability/lag
Exchange or something like it
Inventory Improvement, even something as simple as pressing up at the top to get to the bottom.
Expo drops improved, even just bring back the old loot table, it was way better.
Bring back old decoy from the town drunk that it is now.

Make trading easier (exchange, in-game mail with COD, account bank, clan bank, etc)
New Content/Expansion
Inventory Management
Fix bugs and stability

Don't wanna post anything thats already been suggested so I'll go with the reload gltich that's happens to rocket launchers and shottys mostly.when you reload only half the clip will be refilled.with dc3 especially in pvp it gets you killed because it only reloads 1 shot.would be cool to se this fixed but it's been a problem for so long I doubht it

what i would love is the auction house to come back up, even if they only enable it for mods.

Being able to see EVERYTHING at an event major arkfall would be nice. I won't even complain about the rest the scenery disappearing beneath my feet if that were fixed.

you are encouraged to put down repeat suggestions, that's kinda the point of the thread, It's to find the most suggested problem/fix/change. If you put down more than one I will take the first suggestion or the one that comes across as the one you feel strongest about.

we think that's to reduce lag (or so we don't get blinded at majors) so I'll take that as a lag problem

right now all we have is the same expo's. and with these new guns, it is just easy and boring, the guns in there are worthless. we need more end game content. and the lag is tremendous. the arkfall are just boring also. and the we have to do them because we need to get the overpowered guns for pvp.

This would be my list as well!!

I'd really like a way to disable all the visual crap from other people's det/launcher spam. No fun being blinded and lagged out.

I'd like the exchange back too. Or at least some version of it. I, like many others, have weapons from over a few years with synergies I'm unable to get mods for so I can complete some older weapons. It would be even harder for new players to collect the right mods for their weapons - such as weapons we as clan members give to newbies to play with.

by priority 1st is most important. Just listing 2 so the list is focused but gives trion some choice

The ability to sell/Trade. zone selling is useless. Related but could be taken as a 3rd request. "Sell" jack pots for loyalty points similar to shards for chips. That way those of us who keep getting the same useless JP we can not sell get something we could use.

New Content. Not new event! Something to make the game more interesting. I am getting board with the game fast. This should not something only the select lucky few can get or do. For example new jack pots do not count I don't care what trion says the rewarding is not balanced or it's unatainable for some.

I would like that the mindset of the developers was changed. All blame the AFK'ers for the lag, Trion instead of investigating their own solution get inspired and thinks that rewards hunters should be punished because it is unfair that someone gets more jp's then others. Plain old SJW thinking. Not fruitful nor adds more fun to the game.

The last solution to the AFK problem, causes even more lags and hidden enemies. And punishes gameplay style other then running around with a smg. So now we have to run around where bosses die to get the reward. Please stop, make new content, fix bugs, but dont try to make the gameplay even or social right. Life is not fair, nor should a game be based on that.

This is something I would like as well, might even fix some of the lag.

Laggggggggggggggggggggggg

Yes please Lagg is the number one issue can't see anything most the time love this game but leaves you feeling why do even go on? I keep a patrion pass would rather it would pay to fix the game that I love so much

A lot of the lag could be eliminated by limiting the # of people per phase to 64 or 96 and no longer dropping spam at the events (grenades, stims, spikes, ark salvage, and scrip). Neither of these things will happen because more server resources would be needed if they lowered the phase cap and the code is probably such a mess that it would be impossible to prevent the spam drops from just the event ark falls.

the exchange

i agree i would like the exchange to come back definitely.
it makes no sense that the main point of this game, unlike other games for example say you fight evil but in reality have to do more grinding and less fighting said evil, you are really scavenger hunters so you do hunt(grind) buy/trade and yet the trading system is like how some said, "the dark ages"...yelling you want to buy/trade/sell.
i would think having the exchange from the beginning would have stabilized the scrip and jackpot values.

Isolate one maybe two servers for pvp.too much happens on one server probably whats causing most of the lag.an idea anyway

Lag and connectivity.

When I play, I very often find myself struggling to move, having everything ELSE freeze and be unaffected by my attacks, randomly appearing enemies, and so forth.

I also have begun getting disconnected randomly, being told the server is unavailable. I don't know what is going on with this companies servers, but you'd think they could keep things up to date and fix something this simple without it costing them too much or causing them too much trouble.

A lot of y'all aren't going to like what I have to say, but here goes;


The main "issue" that needs to be addressed is lag and stability. However, the team has proven, for the last 4 yrs., that it isn't capable of fixing this. I honestly don't think the code that is being used can be fixed.

That being said, {here it comes}:

For those that mentioned a "list" of things, with the lag issue being one of them, you're delusional. Adding things, to the already broken game, will only make things worse. {Oh, this dumpster is overflowing full, heck, I can fit a sectional couch in there} It just doesn't work like that...

I understand that y'all want this game to reach its potential. I'm telling you "this" game has. In order for "Defi", to be the game we all want it to be, it needs to be rewritten. Code for Code. For the next gen systems. Otherwise, it can't be done.

I love this game. Every day player for pert near 4 yrs. With every "new" thing added, I know it will make the stability worse. Every new synergy, map, instance, everything that wasn't here at launch only serves to make the stability worse. Basically, you can't have both good stability and "more stuffs".

It's that simple

*Side note:

Thinking of copying this post for the next thread like this one that pops up...Usually happens every 3 months or so...

yep sad to say but thats why i did not pick lagg issue, i dont think the last two guys working on this game currently can pull it off.

but little things like an exchange for mods only or 1 special item in warmaster with a low drop rate to give us a reason to do it would be simple enough.

Fix PVP.

It's too laggy and going stale. Needs a new map too.

Also Monterey's capture points and spawn points don't really make sense. Feels like half of the map is unused ...and point A is always in the same place, basically.

I would above all prefer some new content added to expeditions, even if that was only new/updated reward possibilities. There is no point to having all of these op guns if there is no end game content to explore with it.

the capture points are way to close together, always, 1 person can cover 2-3 points

Pretty much this. Defiance's dev team is just too small, and unlikely to grow. Monthly events plus maybe one or two backburner projects slowly cooking seems like it has the team working at capacity. Most of Defiance's development momentum was riding the Syfy series, which ended almost two years ago. Now that Firefall is baaasically dead for real, Defiance has a niche as the only sci-fi shooter-mmorpg out there...but look what's coming to PC in a few months, Destiny 2. Defiance will be competing with a AAA behemoth for the same playerbase. The belt will get tighter, not looser. I think the present cycle of monthly gun candy and minor game tweaks is the future of the game, as well.

Sadly I guess I'm a little to used to the lag for it to be the 1st on my list. If nothing else can be done on the list THE LAG MUST BE FIXED.

1. Exchange/something similar
2. Expos - New weapons/syn. Add a Mass, BMG, Infector with nano. Maybe have a backpack syn then provides self-revive recharge % for 2 items equipped. Possibly add another item to final loot for every 10 tiers, eg tiers 30-39=3 items, tiers 40-49=4 items. Also have arkforge rewards scale more with tier than score. Provides the 1st incentive to do more expos at higher tiers.
3. Fix broken guns and syns - Actually get guns to aim, fire, reload, and do dmg correctly and fix any/all syns that aren't working right.
4. Lag - This must be fixed.

The SJW mindset is what we have now...very little effort to qualify for top rewards. Multiple alts afk healing with bmgs farming points and gear isnt a "play style", its pure system farming that defeats the purpose of any MMO.

The thought that there are so many players that thinks its okay for one player to go tryhard killing everything to complete the event has the same chance at top gear as the player that tp'ed multiple alts and do nothing but wait for it to end baffles me beyond belief.

Put me down for the return of the exchange.

Remove t1 and t2 mods. Add t4 mods to vendors.

Revamp rewards for incursions and sieges (fix Academy inc so ojs have a chance to pay ojs...its been broke since the day incs were added).

Agreed! Weapons that should reload entire mag but only loads partials needs fixed.

Breaking down unwanted jps should have more value. I just cant get myself to vendor/salvage unwanted untradeable dupes.

Phasing happens and understand why it happens (it sucked in high population before it was introduced). BUT its a bad thing when barriers phase and you kill yourself due to hitting it with explosives. Even worse when you get stuck in it and have to extract. Just keep that out of the fight circle.

Timers and stuck npcs at sv incs. New (and several vets) insist on defending all 5 rounds only to have most fail due to time. Put the timers back in so people will know there is no chance to go the 5 rounds and just allow the to convert.

Increase time for boosts. I have 6 toons and there is no way I can get through them all for events when majors are so infrequent now. We can go hours between majors...

Happy Pow fast travel is still affecting Hellbug Horrors conflict threat level.

Considering the lag problem will never be fixed and has been explained countless times as to why, then I'm going with...Bring back The Exchange. Best thing that ever happened to the game and I miss it something fierce.

Totally agree with this. Lag is worse than ever. It was nothing to do with the exchange.

All they need to do is put a cap on the amount of scrip per item. Say 10 million max. And it will be too much work for the dupers, any decent jp's that turn up on there you know will be dodgy. And proper jp trades will still happen like now

Would be great for trading mods, weaker jp's and un named though with a 10m cap

Cap might need to be lower though. Not sure
