Appreciate you catching up on concerns!

Most of what I'd like to see I posted in Altra's Suggestion Box

Not as important, but still cool in my mind:Storm/Ark Weaponry

By supporting current gen consoles I guess you will support the stronger versions of them as well (PS4 Pro for example). In this case the game should support 4k resolution (and that should be released on PC too!). This requires a HUD overhaul, I have 4k screen connected to my PC, and the game's current 4k support is very poor, the HUD can't handle it most of the time, its small, or limited to portions of the available screen area, leaving the remaining areas unused.

Another thing that should be on PS4 Pro: I don't know how well the game runs/will run, but *if* the game can't run in 4k 60 fps, then setting should be available to pick 4k/30fps or 1080p/60fps mode. Or maybe 4k/60fps, with somewhat lowered graphical settings, so everybody could pick the option they like the most.

PS4 also has the Share button, which takes screenshots/records video, I think an option to turn off the HUD would be nice for the folks with artistic urges (and this would be neat on PC too!).

The DualShock 4 also has a built-in speaker, maybe you could utilize it by moving all EGO unit speech on that speaker, that would be a nice addition to the gameplay.

Defiance " in development " sounds familiar.

I'm not sure if new players will be required to do the previous version of defiance or if that will even be available. But if you look at it the way I described it's not that crazy bentu.

My issue is being able to keep our gear and have it remain viable. I'm ok with doing missions and pursuits again just not the same ones I did to get to 6k 4 almost 5 times. If they let us move our characters and gear it has to stay viable otherwise what's the point.
Remember the rare preorder weapons we all got thinking it would give us an edge? If my gear ends up like the sporeshot or hexar and is account locked that will suck and make it not worth the trouble.

I would not play again if that was the case.

The devs have said time and again that they want the game to be the same across all the systems so it will either stay the same with future expansion to come or like you said a rewrite will be required and PC will have to start over again to.
I tend to think it will be the former as it's the cheaper route for them to take and we've actually seen how they do things with reskins and reused content so it's safe to say that's what they will do.

My issue is on day one of playing it on xbx1 will I start at the wall with nothing and have to purchase everything I have now or will there be a character account transfer where everything I've bought will be available.
You then come to the question of how much should that actually cost because we've all bought different amounts of gear and some people actually have virtually everything in the game and some may of only bought a few inventory slots.

To be honest I don't really care but what I do care about is my main toon on 4 servers that I've put a lot of time into building and having great fun role playing with.

To me that's the main point the time investment in those characters.
Trouble is that also includes the contents those characters have accumulated which has the game experience and memories you've played in with them.

Edit. Another thing I just thought of is will clans transfer over to. If so what happens if the founder decides not to play on the new game.

My suggestions:

Reduce the use of RNG and bit box gambling. The news is full of articles talking about the ethics of online games and the need for a legislative solution. Trion has an opportunity to get in front of this and establish better mechanisms for generating revenue without resorting to gambling and enraged players.

I understand that the Exchange can't return, but the lack of a convenient trading system is hurting Defiance and will negatively effect any efforts to grow or expand the game.

New content: The game needs an expansion that includes more compelling end game content to keep long time players engaged and in the game.

Thank you for listening.

how about cutting all loading times in half
