Server Update: April 8th 10:30am PT - All North America Platforms

Chuckling reading all these posts while the server is down. I can remember back when this type of gaming all started MUD...EQ Ruins Of Kunark...etc....days when we had all day patches and slower internet back then with which to dL those patches. Trust me we spent far more effort and real hours to advance in EQ than I have thus far here in Defiance. With that being said Defiance is a different type of game. I like what Trion is doing here and I enjoy it for what it is. Keep up the good work and keep hearing our ideas and feedback. As for the posts, keep them coming I need something to entertain me when the servers are down for patches lol.

Luclin, you mean ole "Woops we forgot to program the mobs with a z axis." I remember sitting on top of buildings to watch people play only to die to mobs a mile below me because they didn't know I was to high to be hit by them.

BTW. If anyone is on Xbox. Add me my nills. JonnyBusiness

Might not be today or next week but in the future if they are allowed to produce crap it really lowers the bar of our expectations and requirements. Stop being a sheep and think fo yourself.

Seriously....... how can you test everything before launching a world-wide game spanning three consoles with hundreds of thousands of people playing at the same time. Get over it and have fun or just go ahead and rage quit the entire game before you know wether or not this is the norm or merely the road to a better game for all.

Games will have their flaws. No game is 100%. Ever. Period. End of story.

I'm not saying there will not be bugs. These are stability issues due to lack of proper data collecting. If they had expanded there Beta a bit farther and maybe had better advertising for the game maybe they would or could of had a better BETA process and have these server stability issues fixed. Defending them like a fan boy isn't going to make the next game launch anybetter since they now have the mentallity that poor quality is acceptable. It is not no matter how much you would like to show your support for your fav game. It's not acceptable at all. In the future I hope to see much better quality from you guys but another launch like this and I will not be supporting you guys when much better games are out there.

I've been in many MMO/Online game launches in the past many years, and let me tell you this is nothing when it comes to other games.

I've been able to play Defiance just fine. No Crashes, no D/C's just small server downtime. And that's A-O K in my book as long as it's not down all day. An hour or 2 to fix sh*t, who cares! I got PLENTY of other things to do besides QQ'ing about my game going down for a few hours.

You should really be grateful for how smooth this launch has been TBH

Sledgehammer do the ark falls progressively get harder as the game goes on? And how high ego can you get?
