Features and updates for real game [DISCUSSION]

[ironhands]

You really don't think fan feedback has any sway on developers?

Extended Cut is all I have to say about that.

Never said it didn't, feedback is very important, especially with an MMO, however this isn't feedback on the existing game, this is a list of "what I personally want added" that some may agree with a few points.

read somewhere, probably here on the forums that trion did want flying vehicles for players but scy-fy said no due to deal with ford and budgetary concerns for the show

on the bright side there will be boats

lol i forgot to change that from when i first made it which had a few points now its way bigger and over half is from you guys so i changed it (sorry for being late)

I think that might be a slight mix on the rumors going around. the quote was something to the effect of "we want horses for the show, but the game devs said no", I don't feel like looking for the source right now though :P

flying cars was a different story - all flying is pretty much a no-no with the constant threat of arkfalls, with the exception of stratocarriers because they are heavily armored and could take a few hits if necessary. Just not from whatever took down the one in the intro...

pets could be cosmetical like fate ( as in selling items) and sell items
well next time i will put from "some" of the community

i am not talking about wether or not they are cosmetic. The fact that they are there at all does not make sense, infact if they are cosmetic, im assuming they cant get hurt, that makes even less sense again.
ok just to nip this in the butt, answer me this:

If pets are implemented, it means they are in the world, its not like they are on a different plane of existance to our characters (that wouldnt make sense), so then why would an ark hunter bring with him, something that would easily get in the way, give away his position or get killed? And what happens when the ark hunter uses his ego implant to stealth? pets wouldnt have ego implants and stealth does not have an area effect (that would cause complications in game mechanics and story).

Im sorry but it just wouldnt make sense.

I do remember reading about the horses, which does make sense in a post apocalyptic world, and that Trion supposedly said no because of coding or some such and I was like "WHAT!!! trion has already done tons of horses in rift that are way easier to drive than the vehicles in defiance" It had to be the console devs because trion pc devs did horses well a long time ago

except you're not including the things that many, many people have concerns about, or like as they are. there are several threads with many people stating that an AH would do more harm than good, as well as people saying they like the scaling and group sizing as it is.

well yes but its a thought and the thought is what counts

you are right, this whole flying viechles thing derived from speculation, then turned into rumour, then forum fact.
They did indeed want horses, but scfy said no.

horses would be easy to put in, of course, the code is simple since there are already vehicles, the problem, of course, would be the life expectancy of such animals. Dunno how many hellbugs I could ram with my trusty steed.
