try not to think of it in terms of what you think they can't do or what we've all convinced ourselves they can't do, think of it in terms of what you would like to do or even better what you think is best for the game either right now or overall
I don't think a scrip cap would work, also i hate to say it but without an auction house or an easy way for us to trade it actually makes our warez more vauable because they are more difficult to even trade for, not that i am against an auction house just something to consider.
In order that I want them
1. Improve expeditions...
new expedition volge or shrill or even grid... which would be insane, new bosses for the existing ones
get rid of the closed dock map in caverns, fix the mapping of the bosses, buff superiority
Still hoping against hope that they'll improve the Huntmaster (not Warmaster) spawn rate in minor arkfalls.
With the sheer amount of guns and mods flooding the game now, we NEED a working exchange.
That's not lagggg. It's just the placement of the servers. One is being swatted outside a cave by a bear, that thinks it's holding honey inside. The other sits atop of some Russian pr0n star's bed. Server placement is very precious with online gaming...and expensive. Apparently.
come on someone must want something fixed
I don't have just one thing I would like changed. mine are very simple.
1. Scrolling down weapon list, wish it would stop at the bottom, instead of going up again.
2. Adding mod slot wish it would give option to just max the slots with one click.
3. I really want to upgrade several weapons and shields to t6 but would be over $50 for some, if cut in half would buy ark
to do so.
I think an exchange is now moot. Why would I want to buy anything from another player for an extremely overly inflated price, when I can get it from Py Numbs for a decent cost.
There is one little annoying thing I would like to see fixed, When a friend is at alcatraz it always shows as queued for shadow wars, I would like them to fix it so that it properly shows alcatraz. But only after they have the current major issues resolved.
Goal: To make Event Arkfalls feel like events again.
Problem:
The addition of the Ex Inanis Runners and Purified Gulanite is a win.
However, stripping drops and pursuits from Event Arkfalls is a terrible loss.
Solution:
Event Arkfalls should function similarly (key word) to how they have in the past - dropping items of specific synergies and providing a quest for the player to work toward in the Pursuits tab. The Tarr Family contracts for completing such Arkfalls should be restored to their former glory - The dailies offering a Rare(+) piece and the weekly offering Epic(+) pieces of the appropriate syn.
The removal of the JP system as it were, was needed ...so as for a new system?
- Py Numbra when found, will offer 1 randomly selected (AR/Det/RL/Sniper/Etc.) JP Item that is of the current event arkfall synergy. Weapon-mods and non-JP's will of course have to be farmed by completing major and minor event arkfalls. This will produce fewer numbers of JP items compared to the old system.
- The Ex Inanis Runners will function as is; offering 3 synergies for a limited time before rotating to 3 different synergies. Perfected weapons, and "Runner-Exclusive" JP items remain. The 3 synergies offered would never overlap with any event synergies of the time.
- Loyalty Vendors offer "Legacy" JP's, and with the above change to Py Numbra, they will (once again) be the only way to acquire such items - Aside from trading among players, of course.
Conclusion:
These changes provide not only a solution to the old JP system and it's flaws; they provide the player with a number of rewarding options, they incentivize participation in event-arkfalls, and altogether make Defiance a more captivating experience.
In short, it makes Defiance more FUN!
All the required pieces are already in place, and these changes tie all the pieces together.
I would have to say that lag / stability to include and mostly PVP. I only PVP for EGO. No matter what i do what weapon i use i just cant get anywhere in PVP.
Agree. Lag and stability, especially with regards to pvp. Played for 30 minutes and gave up. This is in off peak hours PS3 na. Game just went into suspended animation mode where I am running around but can not shoot, speak to group, use a vehicle, open menu, etc. Game " caught up " up few moments (literally) later as I go from running to dead from an invisible infector somewhere on the map. At respawn menu, instead of seeing my loadout, just empty spaces where my gear should be.
This is widespread and impossible to use the product that is this game.
I dunno, with a 2 month old OP, and people posting the same concerns in present time, I'm leaning towards, "Devs don't think its an issue of high priority."
the "Devs don't think its an issue of high priority." is the point if the thread, does it matter how old the thread is if the concerns have never been addressed and the issues are still causing problems for players. a lot of the concerns are years old but still plague the game, does this make them any less relevant? especially if players are still voicing concern for them today, seeing as it's the players that have the issue with it, not the devs as the players play the game not the devs and therefor have to put up with the issues that I am told about by players outside of this thread or this forum day in and day out. other threads are made individually by players to voice an opinion of what they think should be done, but all these threads are separate and so that's all it appears as many separate posts that all get buried under other ones. I was just trying to provide one cohesive place to collect and tally up the public opinion as there is no where to collect data on what we actually would like to see happen.
I appreciate what you are trying to do MrE :), but there is a reason I have not posted in this thread.
I think Trion needs to take the initiative here...to show they are willing to participate in this process. IMHO they should do something like the following, where the whole process is done methodically and comprehensively...then I would be more than happy to play my part (and I'm sure other players would be keen on this too):
Step 1
Ask players to suggest their top 5 or 10 issues. Players need to be as brief and succinct as possible, ideally one line per issue.
Players should be given a few weeks to post in an official Trion initiated thread.
Step 2
After a list of issues is collated by Trion, they should create a list of maybe 10 to 20 of the most common topics from Step 1.
Trion should then create a (proper) forum poll (with bar graph :)) with this newly created list and give players a few weeks or even a month to vote on it. Proper forum polls can make this process a lot better/easier and can prevent players from casting multiple votes for the same issue etc (it needs to be as democratic as possible).
Step 3
Once the votes are in, Trion should then address the issues in descending order of votes. If an issue is too difficult to resolve etc they should say so on the forum and then move on to the next. At least the players would know one way or another and have a proper list we could refer new players to (a bit like a FAQ).
Sadly, I don't see this happening...I don't think they have the resources etc to commit to this. This is just my 2 cents worth...maybe after Ex Inanis settles down a bit they could something like this?
Addendum:
I'm sure Trion must have means of tracking issues/bugs etc internally. It would great to be able to see something like this random example (on sourceforge):

There are lots of third party systems like that which show status and activity etc.
If a new player comes on the forum and says "what about X", we can then say "X was filed in a ticket 2 weeks ago and ETA on a fix is 1 week." :)
i wish they would fix the lag in game, really laggy in pvp.
and a better rng
A fix for all the disconnects.
The ability to get my achievement that was glitched years ago.
I would say fix trion, they seem to be broken and in need of repair :D
Lag/DC/Bug fix
An option to automate exchange since the Zone Chat is dead (100% fix for scam also)
Pvp balance
Arkfalls with mods/weapon drops (chance to get jps)
New content which doesnt **** up the game
That's some stuff I personally want to see in the future updates instead of useless and playerbase killing nerfs again
I mean yeah maybe a lot of noobs are joining the game but the veterans paid the most and stayed in the game for years.
All I can say is, WE PAY WE SLAY
I think that they should fix the clan list.
I know it has only been recent it's down but big clans for sure would like to see all their members.
Scrolling from the top to the bottom instantly in the inventory. it should be an easy fix just press up and you are at the bottom. Also fix the hard freezing when viewing mods on guns.
Let's continue the history in the next generation plz
to view mods on a gun without crashing either goto the salvage matrix (do not right click and select retrieve mods) or if it crashes for you that way right click and select retrieve mods. I have been told that it can crash either way but if they try the other way it can work.
or if you goto your gun using the loadout menu, don't got too fast when you first enter the menu, if you click on say the left had gun to enter the list of guns, I've noticed that the first time you enter the menu the gun that's equipped is at the bottom of the list and if i try to do any right mouse button (context menu) functions my game hangs and crashes but if i exit that menu back to the loadout menu then click on the say left hand gun again the eqipped gun will be in the middle of the list and if i use right mouse/context selections the game doesn't crash (as of yet). Also if i do a salvage matrix action and then try to do anything in say the loadouts gun selection the list of guns will be empty and if i go back to the salvage matrix the list will be empty aswell or if I can do another action my game hangs and crashes I can only presume the game is trying to perform actions on an item that it says isn't in my inventory.
