I don't really hate pvp in defiance, I actually think it can be fun but in a lot of mmo games like this if you try to have an expanded pvp side to the game without a completely 100% seperate set of skills and equipment you end up balancing pve weapons for pvp, examples are like the infectors and rockets in pve it never really gave anyone an advantage because apart from the leader board at arkfalls and coop missions but in pvp it can cause issues thus pve gets nerfed for pvp.
So I see more pvp put into game plus extended better loot drops etc as a way to increase the damage circle.
To put this into context I get my fix in pvp from EVE, pvp in that game has ruined me for pvp in any other game because in eve you have meaning and real loss.
Remember when you first did an ark fall and all that mattered was blowing things up and the joy of having fun with 40 or so people, well with each patch we move away from that more into the max dps and score board system which in my eyes is a tragedy.
Nobody is never satisfied.
Sorry I couldn't back to you sooner, but that is a good point and one that I completely forgot about until you brought it up. I've only known of one other person that this happens to which is a person in my group/clan, but never really understood why it would happen. I've read around the forums that the damage is client side, so it could possibly be something on your end (not entirely sure, but always nice to guess and use process of elimination)?Quote:

XD
i agree with this all the way, sounds like this guy is wanting to have his hand held, not to mention be given stuff without him ever lifting a finger...another example of how todays generation of gamers wanting everything handed to them without the hard work...in this world or even the gaming world, you work for yours and if you dont work for it then you dont deserve it, so i agree with ya on all counts shadow...i do alot of soloing in this game, not because i dont like to group, i just come from an old school background where soloing is considered pretty hardcore ( just gave away my age huh lol ) and plus i hate those guys that stand there and do nothing, me and my gf have experienced this on quite a few occasions with co op maps where everyone is at the key gate waiting and some moron is just standing somewhere else on the map for 5 minutes, not moving or anything and the others are waiting to get on with the rest of the map are leaving cuz of his/her being idle, but he/she would expect a reward for that behavior?...**** that, you either contribute or get the **** out of the group...im glad that trion has it the way they do and i love the contribute patch they implemented, you work for yours or you dont get rewarded, enough holding these babies hands, make them get out there and earn their **** like every other hard working player...Quote:

It would be amusing if it weren't so sad to see people jump to conclusions and type up new rants every day with tear filled eyes.
More difficult content or even loot tables do not mean gated content.
If you're good enough to do harder coops, you can and you should be rewarded extra keys, experience and scrip for completing it.
If loot tables give you a purple item that has fixed stats and a specific synergy just as the reputation weapons, then there will be still no item progression.
No, it is not. You can deal one damage and get the full rewards, it's called 'tagging Arkfalls'.Quote:

Sorry but no, just no.Quote:

That's right, the bottom of the list. With 0 Kills, 80+ "Revives" and 110-500 Damage Done. The Arkfall Scoreboards are all based around Damage Done, nothing more nothing less. Now if say Revives counted for something or say there was a "Healing Done" field then Defiance wouldn't have such a broken system in regards to Arkfalls AND Dungeons, you know since this is a CO-OP game and all.
Having to directly "Tag" something just to get credit during a major or small event rather than both directly and indirectly "Tagging" something only displays a broken system in a game based around CO-OP. Not to mention forces players into doing things they may never want to do, which is apparent in many aspects of this game (such as HAVING to replace weapons just to gain more skill in them).
The rewards are random. It doesn't matter where or if you are on the scoreboard, all you get is two rolls of the dice. Now if all you care about is a stupid score number than yes, you got "screwed" over. Of course no one really needs to be healed at an arkfall in the first places and I feel that your score reflects that. Revived? Maybe. Healed? No.
The rewards are random yes, but not the quality or amount of them. The higher you place the more/better items you get. In my example I got no items after the Arkfall completed compared to when I was actually doing Damage in which case I received 5+ items of at least 2 were Purple or Orange.Quote:

amazing logic, an argument an you are probably one of the few I have seen not fn p'off about doing those missions over. Good Guildmate/Clanmate. Who ever your Clan is should give you a bump, seriously impressed. +1/Quote:
