damn it must be something with the servers then.

whatever, this is sad... fussing over a name... that is a total game breaker for you... i will never understand this at all.

If it was a game breaker I would request a refund, It is however something that impacts my game experience in a negative way, as such I got every right to voice my concern about the mather.




You need to understand not everyone plays the game for the same reasons or with the same goals as you, Yes it is a shooter, but even so it will likely draw a rp crowd aswell, while I don't rp myself, my ingame names actually do mather to me.

Then he/she would've had the same chance as everyone else to get it, and would obviously accept that someone quicker got it.

some of us have used our ingame name for over a decade and are attached to it, I don't expect to be able to get it in every game I play, but I do expect to have the same chance as everyone else to aquire it if I pre-order, and showed up on time.

And if anything ingame names are more important in defiance then any other mmo to date, as there is the chance of being mentioned in the show etc.

This exactly. We've been studying the lore for quite a while, and both of us have stories written up for both of our characters. A change of name(s) in this is just a punch in the face. If I pre-order a game, I plan to play it on its release date, not before.

whatever, this is sad... fussing over a name... that is a total game breaker for you... i will never understand this at all.

I'll never understand at all how players can take a whole 10 seconds to create a character in a game, without giving any thought to the names they apply to these beings.

Because, availability is never guaranteed. Generally, you make the character and then develop backstory and build on it if you so wish. Planning it all beforehand only set you up for disappointment.

I assume you're from the shooter crowd rather than the MMO crowd then? I'm not too fussed about names personally, but understand that to many it is important. Having said that, I do use the same name(s) for every game that I play, I just use pretty obscure names which are extremely unlikely to be taken before I get to creating characters.

[Laughter]

When I buy a physical copy of a game I do so knowing that it might not come in when I want it to and I might not be able to pick it up in time. I know it sucks that people want to play Defiance now but can't. But I promise it's not game breaking or the end of the world.

I know it sucks that people want to play rift now but can't.

Haha corrected it. Laying in bed with apparently something wrong with my brain.
