The Official Defiance Suggestions List(tm)!

[Sortiarius]

Please do something to remove all of the auctions ... selling my chit ... buy my lil sister ... from the forums.
I come here looking for useful information but am tired of wading thru the muck and mire and not finding what I want, which is useful info about the game... Most useful info I have found comes from goggle searches and other players sites.

- i would love a "toggle loadout" keybinding to switch weaponsets on the fly outside of the menu system. i would hope it might encourage people to try new combos of skills and weapons with old reliable sets just a key or button away.

- maybe the ranchers you rescue could make good on their promise to tell the world of our righteousness.

- dual weilded pistols or charge blades a la phantasy star online back in the dreamcast day?


- i'd also like to find an orange shield and grenade as i'm about to hit ego 4k, but after 1300 game play hours (that's a lot of kill 15 rioters on farms), i've kinda given up. please tell me higher egos could get a small x1.005 luck multiplier of something to dry our tears with bc i know, i know, boohoo.

- a sandwich: salami, pepperoni and provolone on an onion bagel with stone ground mustard

ok enough silliness. imma go take care of that last one myself, right now.

After taking a rather lengthy break from Defiance (became addicted to Rift dimensions lol) I started to play again this weekend. I finally made it to SSF LOL Whew...

And OMG I forgot how awesome this game is. It's an adrenaline rush for sure! LOVE the battle music and OMG the sieges are amazing! The remind me of the Rift sourcewells/onslaughts (although in Rift, I don't have a cool ground pounder to blow up my enemies. LOL)

Anyway, my suggestion is this: (I did search the thread and all I came up with was "Auction House", which is another needed addition, in my opinion and bank! Any plans for that?)

Can we create some form of player housing and/or large city hub? The world is great and very detailed, but our Ark Hunters do need a place where they can rest their weary bones and share a cool brew with their fellow hunters.

The Rift team created such magical places like Meridian, Sanctum and my favorite hub - Tempest Bay. Can we at least get a pub where we can actually walk inside?

And as for housing, it doesn't need to be an elaborate system like dims, I mean I would be happy with just a small one or two bedroom houses/instances that I can decorate.

Some emotes would be nice, too. "Sit, Sleep, burp" LOL

Btw. LOVE all the cool outfits

I just want more of the MMORPG experience with new regions, a much better (complete overhaul) chat system, new types of quests to do...Sprawling cities & townscapes.

My main concern as of now would have to be server stability. I would like to see no disconnects whether it be random, when loading into the Major Arkbreak or when initiating a mass breakdown. Just fix all the disconnect issues. Lag will happen not much you can do about it, however there are a few things you can do to address the issues and I would love it if you did those things. (you are devs, I don't believe I have to list those things for you, however if you would like me to, just send me a PM and I will explain further)

This isn't an rpg, so I am afraid you are in the wrong spot. It's an MMOTPS, so weapons and mindless killing are the only real focus for the devs.

This thread was started as a plug for the google suggestions list they started and a place to have discussions about suggestions posted there, so I doubt they're reading through this thread for actual suggestions.

Then again, I feel like the same could be said for the actual list, too... lol

I even posted a suggestion there asking them to reference the suggestions here on the forums, on FB and Twitter, in the blog, and on the Livestream so it wouldn't feel like we were just given a placebo to keep us from complaining here.

If I am going to be ignored, I prefer to b ignored here. I am not logging into Scroogle to be ignored and tracked and advertised to all at the same time.

Hi, I would very much like to see weapon grouping that is similar to the appearance grouping types (Headgear, outfit and title.) But in the weapons' case they would be: Pistols; SMG; LMG etc with our inventory weapons grouped together in that manner.

At the moment we have just a long list of weapons.

[RiseAgainstDaMan]

I like the game but I think there's always room for improvement. Here are some ideas I have..,

1. Charge blades should be the coolest feature of the game. Let's face it, they are at least heavily inspired by light sabers. The main thing holding back charge blades is a lack if precision. I want to feel like my character has a refined skill with blades. Instead, every attack feels more like Babe Ruth swinging for the fences. There could be multiple attack types. Horizontal and vertical swings, thrusts, and block and parry should be among them. I also think hit detection should be implemented for charge blades. It would be nice to see the ocassional limb dismemberment as a reward for a well placed strike. If a game like Chivalry can pull this off, you guys should be able to. I also heard someone mention using a progression system to unlock more intricate moves. You could even launch it as part if a DLC. Blade Master. Or something. Anything to improve charge blades would be welcome.

2. Capture points in the open world. I would like to see more conflict in the open world. When we fight to free a farm or a base, there should be the possibility of losing it to the enemy. Losing it could mean losing access to vendors and travel points. However, rally enough of an opposition, and we can take the spot back.

3. Last idea, for now. I would like to gain access into the badlands. This could open up a survival aspect to gaming. Hunting, gathering and possibly crafting could be added. Also food and water conservation. Or to simply you could require "survival packs" to venture into the badlands. Over time the survival pack could drain and you would either have to return or forage for food/water to replenish its supply. You could treat these as instances. Maybe add some kind of bounty hunting quests. It could also be a DLC. People will pay for content if the fun factor is there. I want Trion to make money so we get new content and so the servers stay on.

Anyways these are just some suggestions feel free to critique or add to my ideas.
