This is my thoughts on the game right now and what we can expect.
If you haven't checked out the Executive Producers blog post today i encourage you to check it out.

Let me know what you think of this video and topic.
Ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Bump. What does everyone think about the state of the game right now?
I wouldn't go that far. It is less what they say and more how they say it. If they think their game is still great even with its flaws, that's when you abandon ship. Diablo 3 is prime example of what I'm talking about - the devs for a long time didn't accept that their decisions hurt that franchise. From the tone I hear, I get the impression that they know what issues they need to address and that they're intent on fixing them. The question is whether they can do so in a timely matter and deliver new content on a reasonable time table.Quote:

I agree with Jack and also the need for content right now. But i will say that to say that patching and fixing everything first is a great thing that will prolong this games life and help players stay with the game.
State of the game right now is a shallow pool for a population of sharks. Limited space to roam and a thin layer of content covers a barebones rushed release. Players are forced to grind out their end game final pursuits in starter areas to justify more play time due to lack of content.
4 player groups and basic easy encounters present no challenge and no purpose for a MMO oriented community, might as well just pub everything because there is nothing you need organization for.
I'm bored and haven't played it in a few days, and feel no real desire to. We'll see what happens and if the next episode brings me back for a little bit. I may just invest in Neverwinter I think, not very happy with Defiance right now. It has a lot of work to do, it's not very rewarding with the horizontal progression and perk system (at least to me) and it's thin on content.Quote:

I sure could use more content but the game is globally fine by me.
I totally understand that.Quote:

While social hub and banks would add to the experience, i doubt these things in themselves would make a huge impact on your gameplay. Need more dynamic encounters to stimulate player organization and purpose, its a bad sign people are finished 1 month in and grinding endgame pursuits in starter areas.
Very much agreed, these are all things that could be added. And i would like to see a drop at the end like synergy that's a great idea. And yeah that was one thing i have been talking about for awhile, a instance, dungeon something that will really separate the casual players from the die hard and add rewards. Something along those lines would be very cool to see and i would be curious of how it would be implemented if they went with the idea.
Blog said nothing other than: they are still fixing alpha bugs and some time in the unknown future they will add more grind contracts, then call that 'awsome'.
TLDR: Apologetic/hype video from a guy who possesses an IQ of 90.Quote:
