    How game should affect the show's future (some slight spoilers)
    First off if you hate spoilers stop reading.....

    Still here? Ok let's go on then. I will not go into details about the show but something caught my attention and made me think that there would be an awesome way for gamers to affect the outcome of the show. In the episode "Brothers in Arms" we as viewers are shown that the situation between the Votanis Collective and the Earth Republic is much more dire than previously thought, and that a new war is looming on the horizon. Should this war actually take place I believe that the gamers should be the deciding factor as to who wins it.

    I know that there are people that get paid to come up with these ideas and future content, and they probably have better thoughts than I. This is just what I would like to see happen, maybe the community can back me up with this idea, or shoot it down I don't care i'm just tossing my thoughts out there.

    So should a war start I think that the players ingame actions should have an effect on the outcome of it. This could be accomplished by setting up pvp matches so that it is E-rep vs VOT instead of these silly state names. The faction that has the highest number of wins during some ordained time frame is the army that wins in the show. Or implement both armies into the game somehow allowing the players to choose which to aid (by doing specific missions, instances, etc.) and the army with the highest number of times aided wins the war.

    Like I said before I'm sure that someone in the company already has different plans, or even might be afraid to allow the players to influence the show outcome on this level as it might do harm to future plot lines. Just my ideas if you have better ones let me know below:cool:.

    Game will fail, show will follow, thats what will happen, as is viewership of the show is dropping fairly quickly, already lost 1/4 + 1st episode, game has lost %50ish of its player base, baybe more, they continue to not fix things, break new things, nerf things that didnt need nerfing, not adding content as fast as they said, or even as good as they said.

    Thats what will happen, what should happen? hardly matters at this point.

    Spoilers on speculation aren't spoilers.

    Interesting thoughts but the game is probably not tied in to that aspect - so far we have been following behind the show.

    Deciding the outcome of a major story arc is very unlikely. That's months of writing and editing etc.

    Probable best bet would be minor side stories.

    Perhaps the winner from the Most Wanted comp could be a,ark hunter / bounty hunter ? .
    Or try and get some compensation from Nolan for being ripped off in the game ? .
    Fun concept what do you think ? .
    :)

    Wow your sense of optimism is simply astounding!!! The game has issues that I am well aware of as I've been playing since the day after release, but this game is not dead in the water.

    You're right it isn't at this point and likely won't be in the future but alas I would like to see something like this implemented.

    im 34, ive played every mmo there is, anarchy online was the last time ive seen a launch so bad, but that game at least had more than 20h of content. defiance isnt dead yet but its about as close to stillborn as it gets, and needs a lot of care to get it on track.
    sadly todays gamers dont have the pacience to stick it out.

    At this point I would even just settle for them announcing who the frackin winner is.
