Slightly Worried..

Ok my first time doing this, and im fairly new to the forum experience. Anyways, 2 days ago my excitement level for this game was 12/10, but after watching the Gamespot 1hr video last night, sadly my level has drop to, say bout 8/10, and I'll explain why. Ok, issues I saw that were rather disappointing.. the gameplay.. was it me or were the enemies just way to plain, they just run up to you and stand there and shoot, die and repeat. Dont want this to be to long but if im not ark falling or doing story missions, side mission, etc. What else can I do I know pvp is there and isntances but when I think of mmo I think of a crap loads of things to do. Also, loot, when i think of loot borderlands comes to mind and all the weapons seemed the same, I want variety and I just didn't feel it after watching the video. The world seemed rather empty too. Idk im definitely going to buy this, just want that excitement lvl back up!.

Part of the experience with gaming is actually playing it. There's no doubt it's more fun and exciting when you actually play it, than just watching someone playing it. You'll have that excitement when you actually get your mitts on it.

I agree with the above. If you get in on the beta and get to play it urself i'm sure that excitement will come back. But speaking of the Gamespot video...I wanted so bad to reach through the screen and slap the guy from Trion that was playing. So frustrating to watch him fail over and over again lol

There will be a bunch more people playing when the game actually launches. That guy was playing on an alpha server, not many people are allowed in the alpha. Also you have to remember that Defiance is going to be subject of rigorous updates. It's an mmo and it's just beginning, it's not going to have every feature of other mmo's yet.

they fixed enemy AI, don't worry about that.

it will be very hard for us to give you excitement tbh. try the beta, maybe wait til after nda is released and see what people say. until then not much we can do atm

and AI is all server controlled anyway, they can (and will) tweak it whenever it needs to be
