Very likely the folding over happened because of the item the old mayor is after, which would make it only possible it happened to other cities if someone purposely planted those devices there just for that purpose, so yeah, very unlikely.

Could be plenty of other places where there are folds in the earth. Not everyone has to be a city. As soon as I heard them talk about the earth folding like that I saw opportunity for the game to have a lot more dungeons/caves as DLCs.
I've just seen a few of these today and not too sure where it's coming from and from the way they are being presented and the threads' responses to them it seems as though a lot of people are taking them as fact, or at least a genuine idea (no offense lol). I was honestly hoping there may be some sort of fresh news I was missing.Quote:

The content has to last between seasons as well. Just because the show isn't on doesn't mean the game will shut down until next season.Quote:

Seeing as one season is ≈ 3 months I don't see Trion putting out 5 complete DLC packs in this amount of time. This content would be rushed and incomplete. That would be gamebreaking.Quote:

"He figured out the legal system as a system of private prisons. So Las Vegas, which is now marshlands and volcanoes, has become a private prison, and we developed with the game who the character is that runs the prison, he has some connections to some of our characters, and now that’s there in the wiki.
Now in the TV show when we travel to Las Vegas in season two, we know everything there is to know about the various people there"

also a good read
Hmm, rumours has been first DLC adds the sea, make some stuff you can board on, and kill them. Microsoft leaked it.. Its name is called as Infamy.
True. You are right.
Give me Alcatraz, Either as a player hub, or a mission to clear it out. And some post apocalyptic death race. Shield mods, car mods, and some land mines. And please let us go to other countries, America gets so much love. And capes, just because.
Guys.. if this is seriously what you're imagining, you need to reign in those expectations or you're just going to be all kinds of disappointed.Quote:

1st DLC will probably be that inaccessible sliver of SF.
This is probably one of the more reasonable expectations in the thread. I would love to be pleasantly surprised, but we should be prepared for a whole DLC being something like 5 new reskins of clothing and growler vehicles.Quote:

I didn't suggest it would expand all of the way to St. Louis, that's clearly way too much to expect. Pushing towards Vegas, is certainly more likely, and we know upcoming content will feature Las Vegas. If anything, we'll get an area opened up with each DLC the same size as Mt Tam or madera.
NFC what lurch was thinking, that we'd bet getting a few hundred square miles in a DLC, that's insane.
I think it's far more reasonable to see either underutilized map pieces added (no good reason for some of this stuff to be missing...it's so random it hurts to think about) or some kind "portal" npc (airplane, low orbit transport, land train, etc.) that takes people to an unconnected piece of land.Quote:

I think pushing south would be more interesting. I mean, yeah, it would be interesting to go east if they were planning on huge pushes eastward that took us out of California entirely, but in a few years time I honestly don't expect the current map area to be more than twice the size it is now. I mean.. look at what we have after all the development time they've had so far.Quote:

Maybe one day we'll be playing under the Hollywood sign (seriously doubt they'll ever get that far, though). Besides, it would be in line with the current path the game takes (from north to south)
That is probably very likely. Good way to keep out people who don't pay for the DLC also, if they want.Quote:

It WON'T be large. It CAN'T be large. It would be ****ing crazy.
No one in their right mind holds back huge amounts of content. Not when Defiance has as little content as it has right now.
Games need first impressions to be good or great. If people lose or never have interest then what is the point of waiting.
ps. for the grammar nazis: I left the ? off my question because I don't actually want answers for it :D
For what it's worth, they were asked during one of the pre-launch live streams if they were holding back areas of the map to release later as DLC and in their response they stressed that they were holding nothing back, that we were getting everything they currently had. So, yeah.. if you believe that, then probably best not to assume they're sitting on huge swaths of landscape for later release. Everything needs to be built still (which seems crazy, but I guess they just didn't have the resources to start working on DLC and/or expansions pre-launch). :(
They released a game to include synergy mods that aren't in game.Quote:

The game was rushed to release. It's obvious if you look at it as a whole. The game needed another 3 or 4 months of production and about 3 months of alpha and beta testing. Another reason why licensed products are bad.
That's definitely an option, but with so much blacked out space on the map, I'd hope they open those up. I'm not a fan of the portal NPC method.Quote:

I've enjoyed reading this thread and decided to throw in my 2 cents.
To me, the fact that the add-ons are called 'DLC's and not expansions says that we aren't going to get huge areas unlocked. We'll probably get a couple new co-op maps, some pvp maps, some new weapons and vehicles, and maybe a few hours worth of new main story missions. All happening in the areas we already have available to us.
As previously mentioned, if a new area opens up, it'll probably be that wee slither in San Fran
