A less then positive view of defiance for legitimate reasons.
Let start off by giving some background info.I played the alpha and beta.I even went and convinced many of my friends to uy the game at launch.I had pre ordered the ultimate edition of the game.One could say I was a fanboy before the game was even released.
Then the game releases and it had bugs some that were reported in alpha/beta.The servers were beyond laggy and barely up to par.But still I defended the game from naysayers said they were trolls and whatnot.I beat the main story and all the side missions in a week and a half in spite of the server problems.But I still defended the game when people complained the game had little content.
But as time has gone on I slowly but surely started to agree to with the no content complaints.And even the complaints about bugs.With most of the few episode missions being nothing but go to spot x and collect the data recorder.With bugs from alpha still not being fixed and new bugs popping up with each patch.
And to top it all off customer service has been declining alot.And the devs haven't made things much better with the copy and paste answers they give players,when they decide to communicate.And I see all the fanboys posting saying"just wait you see they are gonna make the more awesome."Honestly let's be realistic Trion is becoming a company that seems to not give a rat's rear about it's customers.
The game has little content and what does get added is very bland.The social features of the game are practically non-existent.Most of the post I see on twitter and the games site is trion pushing the overpriced crap on the cash shop.6 to 7 dollars for an outfit is just plain ridiculous,and the boost when they are working are hardly worth it.If the first dlc even comes out this July though I have my doubts.If the little bit of content I have seen released is an indicator,it will probably be mostly data recorder pick up missions.
Then you have the pvp which so far has been very generic.It is made up of death match and capture and hold.Shadow wars is just the capture and hold pvp but on the over world with more players.But it's not something we haven't seen on other games.And with fewer maps then most shooters.with the third one having to be unavailable for the first 2 months.And then still being buggy.
Arkfalls lack variety and are still filled with bugs from pre launch.And unfortunately if the bugs get fixed new ones will appear in the patch meant to fix them.And when we the consumer complain we will get our post either removed or the threads locked.In fact after I post this there will be a flood of fanboys flocking to defend the game.To say I don't know what I am talking about.Calling me a troll and doing the typical internet bs saying why my point is invalid or how they can destroy my argument
The first dlc needs to be great,not just good or ok but great.Cause if it is average or only gives less then ten hours of content the game will be further hurt.The game has been out around 3 months now and I've spent fewer hours on it then offline games like skyrim.But my hope for this game is almost gone,hell even the games makers show almost no energy about the game.The game is unlikely to be growing a bigger player base without some major changes on the developers side of things.
