If you could make a dlc

[Whippersnapper]

1- new areas (more game world)
2- new playable race. Maybe Biomen or Sensoth
3- race specific skills and/or bonuses
4- new vehicles and outfits with bonuses and/or perks
5- Weaponized vehicles
6- new weapons (duh!)
7- Hellbug mounts/pets that can help you
8- New bugs! No, not hellbugs. Game bugs and glitches
9- More main quests!

All of these are great, i'd rather not have 8, but it'll happen no matter what the game it is.

Also i'm still pushing for the statocarrier hub, since they have control of the weapon that shop the last one down, emc now control the airways, i think there should be a questline where we have to find and collect parts for the new freedom. Eventually, we get it up and running and it becomes the new central hub, and the ark hunter is even given a room.

Said room can be upgraded and decorated with things like trophies (creatures you kill), furnature, salvage tech (items we craft), a safe (which we can store items & script), a work bench (for crafting weapons, grenades,shields, and mods).

The new freedom hub has:

A clothing shop (we can buy new outfits for script & bits)

A few weapon/mod shops ( i say a specific shop dedicated to a specific weapon)

A bar (where we can get a drink talk to friends, get a few side quests from the bar tender)

A combat companion/pet shop (before you say it does fit the lore, the indogene did take control of the scrapper bots, so it could be a combat pet, there could be hell bugs because who's to say someone else couldn't have been injected with the hellbug serum and now makes script of selling tamed hellbugs).

A gun range/training facility ( where you go threw a shooting range/ training course where you earn points for taking down targets, and you earn rewards based on your performance, there's also a world leaderboard)

A fitness area (where we play special mini games, grenade dodgeball anyone? Charge blade duels? minigun vs grenadier pvp?)

A auction house ( where players place items in for others to buy)

Clan Quarters (These are big rooms that clans use, decorate, buy new themes for, and upgrade. Also from here the guild leader can give out guild missions, these can be found on the guild moniter. Also CQs have a special buff vendor, here clan members can purchase 1 hour buffs to drop rate, script, and xp, the catch to this being there's a two hour recharge so you must wait a hour before using it again, reducing the chance of unlimited buffing. Clans also get a unique rep missions, completing these missions adds rep with all factions, but can only be completed once a day).

Garage (here you can mod up your vehicle, with extra armor, a mounted weapon, new paint job, boost kit, also buy a car or runner, and even equip a radio to your car that lets you listen to music on your ps3).


Well i think it possible trion devs, i know you can! This would give you a decent place to show off updates, things for purchase and may bring back some older player and alot of new ones!

I'm going to make this a seperate topic as well! I'm trying my best to give you guys some ideas till the show launches, i don't mind bouncing new ideas around with people.

I may get a lot of **** for this post, but here goes.

I'm curious why so many players are adamant about wanting to change this game from an MMOTPS into an MMORPG.

I can understand why ppl like RPG's, however, I'm not one of them. I liked Defiance from the beginning because it wasn't an RPG.

I like that it's just a TPS and that I don't have to worry about finding x amount of whazzits and x amount of thezezits to "craft" 1 thingamabob. I like that I don't have a steady companion, and have to worry about pressing this button or that to make it do whatever. I like that I don't have a house and have to worry about decorating it or throwing tea parties for ppl that would rather sit around watching their toon sip daintily rather than out finding baddies to mow down. I have over 200 inventory slots and know several ppl with a lot more. What is a storage box needed for? Unless, it's because you don't want to have to pay for extra slots and just want them given to you, via a storage box. What happens to those of us that have already paid for those slots? We get screwed so that you can have your house warming party?

C'mon ppl! It's an TPS! Not a fricken game of house. You log on, you kill ****, you get loot, you decide what to do with said loot, you kill more ****. If you want to play house and dress up, I'm sure there are several other games out there that fit your play style. Sims comes to mind.

*On Topic* Major map expansion
A LOT more story line content
More Co-Op maps
Auction House - As this does help in trading and selling gear to other players
More enemies

My 2 cents

[Whippersnapper]

Charm you probably can't have your own room because it would take lots of space. There are free games out there (MMORPGs) that have housing even though they're Free2Play with game shop, but they can support it because they're much larger. Defiance is small by comparison. They only have like 3 servers

First off I like that you decided to be the yang to my yin! (:

Next off i said all this simply because it'd be way more fun and the game would still be a TPS, even if you added this stuff.
And just because you like it that simplistic doesn't mean everyone does, besides if you don't see the need to mess with this stuff no ones making you jsing. If you don't want a companion don't buy/use one, i never said you need it to progress.

Think of it more like "It's there if you want to use it but it doesn't hinder your progession." so no one is making you but it's for player who wish to have it, and before you say they need to work on content, this could come with extra stuff attached with it.

Oh and no one says you need a house bro! (:

That plus they have like 20+ servers, but why can't defiance have more than 3 just saying.
And hmmm couldn't the inside of the ship be a seperate instance from the action down below?

[rebtattoo]

Perhaps if there were stable servers, and more of them. I don't see the current system being able to handle 1/2 of the things suggested. Not for all platforms. As todays patch issues suggest.

You have a point there prehaps later down the line, i mean unless you're one of those doomsday predicter type people.

If you could create your own dlc what would it contain?

A release date schedule :P

All Kidding aside.

For Defiance I would do the following for each DLC.

Bug Fixes and stabilization measures.
Graphic/Game play enhancements as efficiencies in the system are found.
U.I. Fixes and updates.

Those would be standard.

I would also add at least 2-4 hours of additional Story content. Each DLC would focus on a different part of the story so that by the end of all 5 you would have a very well rounded story and introduction to an expansion. I would not just do this with data recorders. I would include cut scenes and a variety of missions that would end the DLC with a mini-boss that could be farmed with a party and not solo.

I would also expand the map to include new areas and at least 1 quest hub or vendor spot. These would be smaller areas starting with the ones already shaded on the map in San Fransisco and around the New Freedom.

I would alternate introductions of new weapons with vehicles and Ego Powers so as the cumulative story progresses so would the character.

I would add to Bit Store Armor and Head Gear a 1% stat improvement. IE: 1% faster health or shield regen, or a boost to a single ego perk. You could effectively get a max 2% boost to one thing. Not game breaking, but also not useless. for the clever people it could mean a lot, for people wanting of skills it could be a welcome boost. For most of us it would mean nothing, but at least there is more value to items than cosmetic which is meaningless in large groups.

I would add WoW type phasing where as the player progresses though the game the world environment changes. New Freedom Stops burning and it looks like they are converting it to a E-REP base. In an expansion I would make it a fully funcional base and that tent city would all be inside with additional options and vendors with a firing range to test guns/builds/mods and compete as a mini game with friends.

I would make the arena Multi-player and viewable by spectators with a Bookie system to earn more scrip through gambling.

I would make it so you could put your weapon away and add at least 2 new dances and an easier emote system.

I would add a Vehicle Radio where you could either add a URL to stream from or point to a folder to play MP3's. While in your vehicle you can hear the radio. When you get out the radio fades off but would still stream the content as if it never stopped. So when you got back in it is as if it was never turned off at all.

I would add Point of Interest Totems though out the game. You can walk up to these totems and read a text file of some historical event or lore relating to that area. This would be for the lore junkies.

I would release a press kit available to fan sites that would contain images and graphics to help promote the DLCs and their content.

I would make it possible for people to cusomize their U.I's through in game available options. Move stuff around the screen or add/remove elements, such as mastery level bars for weapons visible or Contract Tracking.

Chat would be streamlined. I would put it back to how it was at launch, but add 5-8 more lines to be visible and increase the fade out delay by about 30 seconds so you can read more of the conversation but if no one is talking the chat window is not up distracting you.

I would add at least 1 more mob type to the game.

Just some of my ideas.
