We'll wait for a bit here its the least we can do but answers are something that are in high demand, understandable if they are in short supply on the weekend. Should seriously consider looking into answers one of the 5 or so people who asked the W5 questions about the communication lapse.

At this point we need to accept the Raptor will not have a turret, not now likely not in the near future either. Trick stated Latency etc issues in the open world, its very likely that quite a few of these things rolling around shooting endlessly could do some damage, it would be nice if they could allow the standing position in the back the use of his own weapons, but then there might be balance issues (which frankly a vehicle turret vs Hellion would be pretty unbalancing.)

What has to be addressed imo is the communication problem, and then how we can become more tied into the development process as a community and work together to making Defiance all it possibly could be. If the community and the developers both pull together through this storm instead of letting it pass over and hope for the best, Trion could really have something magical in the form of partnership with its players.

Thats my speech anywho, work tomorrow, peace out.

it took you all DAY to figure this out??? my dreams were crushed when they took out the plasma pulsar

[Valaska]

No... I stated that in my first post addressing Dahanese actually, that the raptor isn't the biggest concern right now the main thing is the failing in communication. I get the feeling you were just skimming what I was saying?

This is why I think communication would be great we could throw out suggestions that may or may not fix or share insight into other possible ways to implement stuff. As an example i know not everyone would like this but if latency was an issue due to high speed vehicles tossing mass lead everywhere. What if you can only fire at slow speeds they already have this in game you cant bail out of vehicles unless its slowed to a certain speed attach that to firing weapons. Im not saying this would fix anything im just saying being able to throw out suggestions like that would be cool if we where let in on the struggles.

Wondering if anyone has found this: http://forums.defiance.com/forumdisp...38-Suggestions!
Well, waddaya know - a place to post suggestions.

The only problem that comes with that, when players suggest something to "help improve the game" that ultimately leads to the endless supply of "the devs don't listen to their playerbase" threads from those players who suggest something that can't be implemented for some reason or other.

In fact, take these two threads from the Alpha for example:
http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...ssive-disaster
http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...-arena-mission

Ultimately, this game will have to make a choice between developing for the smaller hardcore/highly skilled shooter base, and for the larger casual/lesser skilled gamer base (who can be a shooter fan or not). Who do they listen to, and thus who do they alienate?

In terms of communication - there will never be enough communication to satisfy every person on this forum. Quite frankly, the current level of communication is better than many, and not as good as some others, so that puts them squarely at average. To be honest, if Trion is a company that "we can't trust", then what is the point of more open and detailed communication - it could all be a lie just to appease us (how do you like that one conspiracy theorists?).

she said zany. frankly, any question i now have means absolutely nothing. if its zany, then i am satisfied.
