relax and let Trick's people fix it

[TPS1956]

STALKER was a horrorshow for years to play.
But STALKER wasn't a PVP/MMO game, so they let the public devise fixes that worked.

I can see why Trion wont let that happen, but playing STALKER for 6 years, and trying to imagine playing this game for 6 more months while waiting for the Gatekeepers at Trion to show some skill at fixing more than they break with consistancy is something I'm waiting to see.

1.) Inviz gunners. Just got killed by an inviz raider in the box canyon between Angels Fall and Ridgecrest. It was the raider in back on the left who was missing this time. There are inviz gunners all over the place, if you 'look' for them. All you can do is port out and try again. This was 'Fixed'. But not fixed.

2.) Mouse curser bug. I have to restart the game every 30 minutes or so if I want stuff to work in the background. I'm a Radeon user, friends with nVidea have the same issue. This is new.

3.) Sword rebate. Less said about that the better.

4.) Chat window. Less said about this the better, too. 'New'.

5.) Somebody keeps forgetting to order enough Volge for stage 6 at a siege.

6.) The black area outside the scope view was supposed to be an opaque area to see badguys on an otherwise blind sniper. I shoot with both eyes open in real life. Actual people who shoot in real life shoot with both eyes open. The devs need to know this, and why ppl shoot with both eyes open.

7.) Popular scope pulled from the line-up. Why? Were the servers too low on space to stock those electrons?

8.) Replenish at an ammo cache, and you frequently don't get ammo for all your weapons. This was 'Fixed'. But not fixed.

9.) Weapons were fixed to have a full mag and a full load-out of ammo. Now they frequently don't anymore. This was 'Fixed'. But not fixed.

10.) Inviz mod synergys on a weapon, making it impossible to reuse the mods you destroyed a weapon to retrieve, with synergy in mind. 'New'.

11.) Bulwarks at a Darkfall. Now you see 'em, Now you don't. Until they reappear and kill you while you're trying to figure out where they will reappear. Darkmatter monitors and snipers are doing it now, too.

12.) Joining a friends phase. Really? I mean, really? <snicker> This was 'Fixed'. But not fixed.

13.) Lag. This was 'Fixed'. But not fixed.

14.) Nerfs. They make crap weapons classes, and then take away the weapons we like because we don't use the crap. There's a marketing strategy that more company's need to copy.

15.) Mastery rolls on weapons that were in the overflow cart don't exist. I cant see it, I cant use it, it aint there.

16. HOW many people need to call to get the Volge siege pursuit addressed? And we all have to do it individually?

17.) Cerberus pursuit. See Above.

18.) Charlie. Because he HAD to go.

19.) I can't wait for the hollering from the spikes they're going to introduce in the new A-falls, because instantly healing and reloading your ammo adds realism.

20.) General Steve, who is the main reason why we should all go out and buy outfits in the store.

21.) The Inventory Window overhaul. Dear GOD don't let the guy who fixed the chat window work on it.

I'm bored, I'm sure the 2 people who read this are too, by now.

Number 7 is still my biggest gripe ATM never did get ANY answer why they pulled that overlay and replaced it with the blue POS overlay. But I have had most all the in game BS you speak of as well so here here and well said!

Oh goodie!
Lookit!
Some good forum communication!
I am glad, and I started this thread complaining about complaining!

Unfortunately, it is the same communication that the players have been giving since day 1 that is constantly ignored or temporarily halted by "we are working on it" comments. There is nothing new here, nothing that hasn't been said countless times before.

That list crasher posted pretty much sums up everything. All that Trion knows about. And there answer: "hey, let's change grenades!"

In total and brutal honesty, It makes me sad sometimes to read the forums.
After Trick's "State of the Game" address, You might think that everyone would have a clear understanding of the fixes that we are in store for in Defiance without all of the pin-point specifics.
Is that what We all need here?
Do We need Dahanese or Overload or Trick to stop doing their jobs and take everyone by the freaking hand and tell us EXACTLY what will be getting fixed and repaired, line-by-line in the game's code for grief's sake?
I don't get it.
Posts and threads go for 92 entries and Elizabeth comes in and says "that is what We are trying to do" and invariably someone says "what?"
Seriously?
Wake up. It is rediculous.
Trick has them working on it. I want the game to improve, to be better and a lot more lag free and the UI to be easier to navigate and all of the issues to vanish but that isn't happening overnight.
If I don't understand something, I can ask a question in a PM to Dahanese but I am not flailing on the floor and threatening to hold my breath until I get my way.
Read the State of the Game address again.
They are working on fixing the frakking game, before We get ANYTHING ELSE.

This isn't that difficult to comprehend.

The damage has been done, and Trion has screwed around for way too long to salvage this game. Most people have quit, and alot of the ones playing are new people who will eventually see how lame this game has become. I held onto hope for 5 months, only to get a joke of a dlc. I dont think this game is able to be save at this point. The ball has been dropped for way too long.

"TIME is neverending. There is ALWAYS time. It's our patience and will to persevere that run out! "

There is also my money and how much I have and can spend and that is running out or somewhat lower with each month that goes by as well

Quit spending money on the game. I spent with my initial purchase and the sp and haven't spent since. And the sp was basicly free because I used all the free points I got from doing surveys and stuff for Xbox 360.

Cuz, as you can see in this thread, most quit the game, say they quit but still play it or rather spend their time posting on a game they 'don't like'

[MacDeath]

What people don't get is that TIME is neverending. There is ALWAYS time. It's our patience and will to persevere that run out!

Nope. Time is finite. I have at MOST 12 hours per day that I COULD play on-line games. But there are other things I like to do with my time too. So It nets down to ~4 hours per day on average. Now, I have several MMOs installed that I can play when I feel the urge to game.

At the moment, Defiance is #4 on my most active game list, so most days I don't play it at all. When I'm not actively playing, I'm not spending money on the game. Everyone will have different reasons on where they invest their time. Let me give some insight here on why Defiance is so far down my active play list...

1) I'm a social guy and I like to play with real life friends and my family. From that list, I'm the only one who still plays Defiance, so I hang out with my friends in another game.

2) I like to experience new things and explore new sights. Defiance has a very small world and is slow to add new stuff. When they do add new stuff I will be active for a few days. I play on the Test server when it's available to help break the new stuff.

3) I enjoy participating on MMO forums ALMOST as much as I enjoy playing MMO games. IMO, Defiance's forums are mostly toxic so I spend more times on other game forums.

If Trion takes action which addresses those three areas, I'll spend more time in the Defiance world. I like the Defiance TV series a lot but it's offline most of the year. Defiance is the only shooter I play, so the TV link and the shooter aspect keep me from uninstalling but they aren't enough to get me to be a more active player.

Also a valid point, no matter how much we can stick it out, the rest of the people we have been playing with can't. My family and friends used to enjoy playing with me for a few weeks, now whenever I suggest playing it is an instant no. That affects my motivation to play.

Exactly, I want to play, I really do..... but the motivation to do so has moved on. There is only a handful of my Clan even playing any more.

I have seen people who were "NEVER going to quit Defi" walk away, hands thrown in the air - and one of them was the most patient person I have even met....

I honestly don't even know why I come here any more other then maybe one day something positive will happen to the game and it will give me the opportunity to bring my clan back to it.

@CRIXDA I hope you don't loose that optimism, you won't get any guff from me about being Trion's "White Knight" (Or any of the rest of you either) I wish I could see some positive to hold onto, but it's just not there for me.

soooo True!
