DLC1, no official gameplay video?

[DarknessEyes PT]

There is no official DLC1 gaemplay video?
I didn't purchase season pass and I'm not buying DLC1 until i see what I'm buying and a Official gameplay movie of DLC1 should be great.
There is a DLC1 video showing sieges, but thats free content.
Battle arenas, how do they work, what do you get?
Truck of doom, do you get loot/xp and if your driver you get loot/xp?
The current details say almost nothing...

And when are we gonna be able to buy DLC1 without buying the season pass?!?

If you'd watched the SDCC Twitch stream where Greg and a Twitch guy were in an interview, Greg played an older build of the DLC showing off some of the new weapons, the truck, volge siege, and the new Dark Matter major Arkfall. It was on the main twitch page so Im not sure if there was an archive of it since it wasnt Trion controlled at the time.

Defiantly looking forward to DLC 1 as well. The new vehicle should be a lot of fun. Really looking forward to eventually playing as an Indogene later on.

They seem to think Twitch is an ok substitute for officially showing off gameplay. The general audience probably has no idea what the **** Twitch is, but they don't have a problem typing in Defiance DLC on youtube. There needs to be an official video. Maybe Syfy's marketing team should replace Trion's...

I think you misunderstand. This wasnt on Trion's twitch stream. This was on Twitch's stream that was covering activities at San Diego Comicon. Trust me, as wonky as it seems, Trion's typical streams are 10x better that Twitches coverage during the convention over all. So of course Trion was fine to present on Twitch for that like other devs got air time to do.

No, I understood you. What I'm saying is Youtube is a "household name" and the best way to get people to see what you're trying to show off, would be posting a trailer on Youtube or something. Not streams that only people embedded in the community would know about.

You know as well it was shown off at E3 too right? Im not disagreeing that they shouldnt have media blitzed the hell out of it with more and more shown as the weeks progressed on and covering all media outlets too. Have to also remember that the forums didnt even get a sticky about the DLC up until the announced at SDCC last week they were not going to make a DLC release date announcement (done on twitter btw) and the forums got upset. That's when sledgehammer70 went and copy pasted Richardsson's old blog post of the dlc info and made the sticky.

But twitch for most gamers these days is pretty well known. Trion's been using it for a long time themselves and even SyFy's cited their Across the Badlands show they did every monday during the season etc etc.

They've been showing the same content for about 2 months, lol

The last time they talked about the turret on the new truck of doom was on ATB finale. They said the new vehicle will not have a turret now. They answered a question about the Battle Arenas. Several different arenas, each unique in their own way...limited rounds with each round being unique too(one round might be about keeping your multiplier high) Said there are bronze, silver, and gold rewards, so finishing all rounds might not get you a gold...you have to play good to get gold. I wanted unlimited rounds like Zombies on COD. That would be really cool. We will see how their idea with Arenas pans out.
