The game brings about good fun for me. Hopefully you will experience the same enjoyment that I and many others do.
There was a patch released after launch that replaces nearly half of the data in your Defiance directory. Since your disc has an earlier build of the game (and because Trion uses a completely inefficient patching method that we could go as far as labeling "ridiculous"), that's going to add a lot to your download time, unfortunately, despite the game only being out a month.
I wish I could say it's due to the sheer amount of content and bug fixing that's happened since launch, but that would be complete B.S..
Fortunately, it's still fun enough to play (particularly as a new player where you have nothing but new content to consume). I need to find a good sale so I can grab another copy for a friend who absolutely refuses to buy Defiance at its current price.
Don't ever play PvP it's rage inducing and half broken. Pretend it doesn't even exist like the devs have.
Thanks for the responses guys. The game finally finished patching, took half a night and most of a day. I knew it must be downloading the game all over again. No big deal, I had other stuff to do while waiting.
I would like to find an active clan to join... I have Vent and TS3. Thanks for the response man. Really enjoyed reading your post. I am about to log in for the first time here in a sec. We will see how this works out.
Like I said Amazon has copies for $30 bucks that is half the price Trion, Digital D/L sites, Steam or even Walmart has it listed for. I was not gonna pay $60 bucks for the game either, just from the reviews. Plus I have been in FireFall closed beta playing - what I believed - was something similar, for free.
NO! Save your money for something more fun and has some depth to the game!
Keep in mind, most of the angriest responses you'll get are from people who haven't played the game in weeks. Three guesses as to why they're still here in the forums.
I'm glad to hear you finally got the game downloaded and if your looking for a clan, then come check us out at http://www.corelegion.com/ We also have TS as well and we're very active and would love to have you with us. I hope we can see you soon.
