My take on Defiance

First off, I've no-lifed Defiance since launch - being on work comp isn't all that bad anymore. For the first two weeks of the game, I've slept a total of 40hrs. The game is amazing - yes there are MANY faults in it, but they are being tended to.

They ask us for patience, its granted by most of us in the community. I personally don't mind waiting for them to fix issues in the game. Yes I want to play, but I'd rather they improve what they have so the game opens more doors for us as players. The lag issues, server timeouts; I can handle that. The 0 damage on arkfalls and coops - it'll get fixed sooner or later. My pursuits for arkfall kills reseting constantly - gets on my nerves, but I'll live. Echelon contracts always being Capture and Hold which isn't even in yet, annoying for a completionist but I can survive.

What does bother me is the fact that I'm spending money for bits to buy CLAN and GROUP boosts, which adds up when you buy them a week at a time, and losing that time. Now I'm thankful that TRION gave those SELF boosts to us, but they gave them to EVERYONE. How is that compensating those that are spending money on the other two types of boosts? I know its easy for people to tell me "Stop buying them then" but I'm trying to help my clan and friends. I'm not looking for HUGE compensations, but with server down time, I'd like atleast 12-24hrs on group and clan boosts - preferably during the weekend when the majority of the players are online.

To sum it up, there are issues, but they are being dealt with according to TRION. We can only cross fingers and look forward to how the game grows. I see TRION making amends, which is good and I hope they continue to. The game is amazing and I will ride out the storm with TRION and the community.
