Was wondering if there was a headstart for those that had Pre-Ordered like most MMO's have? I havn't seen anything stating this, would be a good idea, just throwing it out there......

You could enter in all the hidden arkfall codes for a head start on weapons progression and some other cool things like weapon mods
No announced head start.
Only head start i would want is the ability to download the game client so come 12:00am PST on April 2nd i can hop on right away and not have to download or patch for a few hours then play.
Early access to download client would be my only headstart i would like to see.
No headstart.Quote:

So expect major downtime on the first half a day. :P
Well it is Trion guys...do any of you remember Rift's release extravaganza? 2h queue times WOOOOOOO!Quote:

Cant you just use the Beta client you have already downloaded, and just patch it on live? Would be alot easier than downloading a whole new client.
Some games do that...but others will mess up the official download if you still have the beta installed :(Quote:

sledge said they *might* be releasing midnight EDT, but not official yet, so 9 PDT on April 1st. Gonna be a long day for those guys.
headstart doesnt give you much... a lvl 1 new char would be as strong more or lessas your head start 50 EGO.
I hate headstarts, imo. Let everyone experience the game at the same time, there should not be favoritism.
Well... you can and then again you can't... Can you modify your beta syfypatch.xml to point to the right servers? Sure but what else do you need to do? Can you install the live game into the beta folders? Maybe... BUT, what ever you do, it's not likely to be error free and Trion CS will prolly say it;s not supported. IMO, it's best to uninstall all previous versions of Defiance and get a clean install of Live. Of course, if you live in Australia... go for it to avoid the download.Quote:

He is saying that the statement is false. The Beta Client will NOT be updateable, a complete new download is required.
I've known Kahuna (Hergan) for a long time. I KNOW he isn't making this up. He is relaying the CURRENTLY official Trion position. Stay tuned, this COULD change.
Well that answers that, thanks!Quote:
