    List of bugs/glitchs and suggestions
    I am going to list some bugs/glitches and suggestions. Before I go on though I would like to add I am not 100% familiar with every aspect and I know some thing's are due to change or have not bee implemented because of the beta.

    -BUGS-

    *Sound issues through many cut scenes. Sometimes it just randomly would not have sound. This was about a 30% accurance though.

    *Another sound issue but this was during gameplay. usually during Arkfall events and sometimes during regular missions with other players. Alot of times it just sounds like *Cuur cuur* If that makes since. Like a cutting in and out of signal. I am guessing this happens because of the many people and gun shots and other sounds. Not sure if that's really avoidable. That's alot of sounds happening at once.

    *Sometimes when I am driving vehicals I randomly and slightly get my wheels turn like I hit something. It's not a major hit but it's like an invisible pot hole of some sort.

    *Voice communication does not seem to work. From when I have been playing. I am not exactly sure how it's suppose to work. I assume in groups you should have voice chat and I never hear anybody and they said they have mics on. Also are you also suppose to hear people in close area's by you and also in mission areas and such?

    **Other then that everything has been working fine for me. I have not really ran into many bugs for the most part. Other then sometimes loading from cutscene back to gameplay can be a little rough nothing major.

    -SUGGESTIONS-

    *I think vehicals should have the ability to crash/tipover/fall/land upside down. For ATV's I think if you don't positions yourself right and land upside down you just should be jolted off and you will have to find the ATV or make a new one. Vehicle you should be the same except there should be a quick easy functionality to just tip it back on it's wheels again like other games. I also think you should be able to have player vehicle collisions within regular open world gameplay. In towns, Mission areas, Arkfal and other important areas it should be as is just ride through it. I also think the mechanic to pop a wheelie on a ATV should be implemented. The physics of the vehicles are so slick I found my self pulling back thinking I can pop a wheelie. Also being able to do backflips and front flips on vehicles would pretty much complete the overall vehicle experience for me. Other then that Defiance has really impressed me with the vehicle physics and it feels nearly as good as a GTA type game.

    *Town names and locations. On the map they never say town names or location names. I always feel alone ever since the beginning of the game or if I go to an Arkfall. I never feel like I can find the "Hang out spot" There are no names really listed or towns listed. I mean when I go somewhere it comes up on my screen but bringing out the map nothing is listed at all.

    *Shops. I am not really digging the style of shops. It's not that there bad but I feel like their is only two options and they feel impersonal. I wish they had towns with multiple shops with guns, gear and etc. Maybe even different type of guns.

    *Gear. I have not really played with the gear but it seems a little light. I can change his helmet and that's it?. Like I said this is beta so many thing's might not be added.

    *More little thing's to do and when I mean little I do not mean those other side quest and etc. I mean mini thing's to keep me in this world as if i'm chilling with friends playing pool. I like messing with interactive thing's for no reason and playing a mini games within a game. Examples would be Races, Poker, target shooting and etc. *I know those are kind of lame thing's but you get my overall point*. Even bigger thing's other then what's already there. Just more content.

    *Emotes. Alot more emotes and also emotes that take two people to do. Like if you ask someone to shake your hand or give you dap. A message will be sent on there screen to accept or decline the emote. You may also have the option to ignore all emote invites and during battle you cannot ask someone to do so.

    *It should be kind of fun if I could dive into water if I pressed a button. Not really needed but a fun note.

    *The chat system is kind of a mess but I have heard it's not working properly.

    *In game friends list. Last thing I want is filling my PSN friends list.

    That's it for now, like I said this is in beta and I know many thing's are not added or working correctly. Also do not take all my suggestions to heart, some of them are quirky and fun idea's and my own personal wish list.

    Feel free to add your own bugs and suggestions.

    The friends thing has to be fixed soon not being able to see where your group members are or be able to talk them really hurts the game. Im sure theyll fix it just hope its sooner rather than later.

    Yeah it seems like they would want to resolve the Friends list and communication errors during beta that way it works properly during launch. I also hope this is resolved, It sometimes feel's weird not being able to talk or really communicate

    Thanks Hawk.

    Yeah... on a game that has co-op and competitive modes, this is a number one priority!

    Since it seems that people can't use the search button (http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...eta-problems):

    1st) In opening cutscenes with Von Bach his lips and voice weren't syncing as I'm sure they were intended to.
    2nd) In the same cutscenes the graphics seemed to have a "fuzzy blip" in them at times.
    3rd) During a major Arkfall the audio would get really choppy
    4th) During a mission at the radio station the mobs seem overpowered if you are soloing the quest (which I did)
    5th) Not sure if it is a problem but the random "emergencies" would pop one after another in the same area with little to no gap between them. It made exploring the area difficult because you constantly had to kill new mobs
    6th) When using a truck sometimes the player could not get in until a second or third attempt

    That's all I have for now.

    I have a suggestion, remove the Snap Aim (Aim Assist) from PS3.
    Shooters are much more fun when you actually have to aim.

    Sorry I am on PS3 in case it doesn't exist in the other platforms.

    I tried to find my friend but he was invisible to me - he did accept my group invite and I could talk to him - until that cut out and then I couldn't even talk to him. also anyone notice with the sniper rile doesn't do as much damage when firing without aiming? is that intentional?

    It would be nice if some location names appeared on the map after you've discovered them, but I did notice that when you put the cursor over a named location (or at least some of them), the name pops up next to it, and selecting it (hitting x, IIRC) will give you the option to fast travel there.

    Voice chat was absolutely atrociously bad last night :mad: when my friend invited me through the in-game invite system. His mic was cutting in & out very quickly & I should note that I play several other online PS3 games with him & I can verify that we never have a problem with voice chat in those games. Therefore, the problems lies with the Defiance PS3 beta's voice chat & not our mics.

    I just saw this reply from Sledgehammer saying that "chat will be fixed in the final launch build":

    Bugs I have encountered:

    1. Voice Chat works when you join group, but cuts out after about 5 mins. When it does work, group members conversations are stuttered, and have lots of static. (Play with these people online all the time and know its not our mics)

    2.Gun in my secondary slot disappears from the slot and my inventory when logging out of game and then logging back in.

    3. Ark Fall event sound starts stuttering after awhile and then gets extremely loud. This issue travels with you from ark fall to ark fall event. (Very annoying when you have a large group of people shooting at the bugs and crystal)

    4. Cutscenes either come up with subtitles stating work in progress and all the sounds that should be there are all spelled out. They also loop in several areas, so you see the cutscene twice in particular areas. Some cutscenes aren't synced properly so lips move when they shouldn't be.

    5. Group invites disappear while you are phasing to group members, so you can all be on the same server instance.

    6. When party members type in group chat it comes through twice in the chat box.

    7. When pulling up the text chat keyboard, it states a 623 string error above the box.

    8. When warping to a friend's server phase game spawns me in a body of water and then you drown while trying to get your bearings of where the game put you. ( Note: I was no where near water when I accepted the game invite to phas.)

    9. Everytime you come out of an instance it tells you that all your PSN friends who have the game have accepted your friend invite and which friends are online. (if I'm grouped with these people I already know they are online.)

    10. Using a vendor machine near Happy Pow Farm I got pulled into someone else battle when they spawned the Hellbug Monarch. My whole group got pulled away from the machine and entered into the battle.

    11. I have experienced several friends characters changing from what they created into an african american male after playing the game for awhile. Its weird when you see a female character all of a sudden become a male.

    Suggestions:

    1. Friend list in game needs to be implemented. I don't want to fill up my PSN friend list with random people from game.

    2. Making sure all group members are in the same server phase needs to be available in game and easy to do. Having to invite people from your PSN list to game, so you appear in the same phase is way too many steps and should be something that is easier to do.

    3. Have more headgear than just baseball style caps. Every outfit I have received as a reward has a baseball style cap for the headgear. As a female gamer and female character I don't want to be wearing a baseball style cap with every outfit set in the game.

    4. More emotes or a variety of styles for a particular emote. Everyone dances the same way in game and its kind of cheesy.

    5. Having different weapon sets is great, but need an easier way to swap these sets while playing.

    6. Need more places to get ammo or make it buyable from the vendor machines. (I've run out of ammo numerous times now in game and have had no drops in battles to get more or anywhere to get any.)

    7. Solo instance for finding Von Bach needs to have its difficulty adjusted. Trion needs to remember that not everyone that is going to play this game is an experienced shooter player.

    Nice bugs and suggestions Ciessa, I agree with everything you said in your suggestions. Except maybe for the difficulty setting. I do understand but I love having that challenge playing solo. I actually had to use all my skills and weapons to win but I feel your pain sometimes it's unbearably hard and could imagine a noobie getting frustrated.

    Btw has anyone got any rewards from the arkfall events?, Also I feel like there should be Head pieces, Chest pieces, pants pieces hands and feet. I know that's typical mmo but I think it would make the loot more dense.

    Slash Snipe
    I've been using the in-game voice chat between my brother and I. It worked up until about an hour ago, but is generally very scratchy, and that cuts out completely once joining a co-op mission, as does chat. To join your "Group Leader" you simply hit the right button, then select group, then select yourself; at the end you'll find under your name is the option to "go to Leader." If I have any problems with this is that people don't select themselves for such an option normally, I would suggest moving the "go to leader" selection to be under said leaders name. Also... I would like to not fall through the world every time I use said function.

    I wonder if cloak is bugged. I can't seem to fill the requirement for the "Snipe from the Shadows" pursuit. It says to kill someone while cloaked. No kill I've done while cloaked seem to register.
