DLC 2 on Friday's PAX livestream

[Valaska]

Stims? Instant health and shield fill? Yeah, you definitely didn't just break PvP.

Please consider bringing in some players to test these things before you make them public. Those stims are going to be so unbelievably broken, it's not even funny.

That and faster refreshing grenades.

[Rizzlok]

i would like more details about the grenade thing they talked about

[Taidan]

That looks pretty neat.

Going to have to start socializing in-game to find partners for Arkfalls, though.

So they finally did arkfalls like we see in show (good) the rest was a straight rip from ME3 MP (ok but not worth hype)

Notes from PAX - Dahanese please make sure I'm not confusing anything:

Defiance PAX Notes:

World Exclusive: DLC2 -

Instanced Arkfalls - Deployable Arkspikes.. which call down FULL ARKFALL's like in the show, both Minor and Major (1 person drops a arkspike, minor arkfall.. 4 or more drop an arkspike spawns a major arkfall).. LOOKS like in the show! Can have ANY of the NPC's as enemies - open world for anyone. After the first stage, you go INTO the ark, between 4 to 16 people, so it springs up new instances and each will populate multiple instances. You can do this AS A TEAM!! SWEET!!! These include DYNAMIC SCALING for enemy mobs. Inside instances are all random events and enemies. New arkspikes show on map as small red icons. Final instanced Arkfalls WILL have Bosses

Tactically Deployed Items:
Spikes - Put down by players, that applies a buff to any friendly players while around the spike. (At this point, OverloadUT died TWICE..lol)

Stims - Instant use cool-down power that you have that applies a short term power/benefit to your character.

LIMITED GRENADES! Heck Yeah! Grenades are a limited use item with a lowered cooldown. The number of grenades will be based on what you pick up. You CAN run out.

New Clan Interface! Clear and Smooth look, so let's hope this makes it through.


Only drawback to the "early release" twitch feed.. no date on DLC2 release, or on when it's going to the Alpha Server.

Nooooooo

Like, where are you all seeing this stuff?

[Notturno]

That and faster refreshing grenades.

My grenades are instant kills against 75% of players in PvP, so if something doesn't change there... those grenades are going to cause some crazy amount of butthurt.

I don't see Stims or Spikes being allowed in PvP just for that purpose. And limiting grenades.. yeah, I'm sure everyone who does PvP will like that after a few tweaks (like keeping some sort of cooldown so you don't get the infamous "nade spam")

im going to say, i bet to call down the social arkfalls you can buy credits from the store to use to bring down an arkfall and start it.

Then how can we find better grenade types? Only through vendors and lock boxes?
