This was brought up in the livestreams once or twice before. As the saying goes, "Don't hold your breath." Trick's attempt at this topic in one of those streams seems to indicate that if there even is discussion going on with the consoles about this, the reality of it is still a long way's off.Originally Posted by Midori Oku
Figures, it's always the consoles that are holding back the PC Master Race.
I have said on multiple occasions that I am not a "kool-aid" drinker for Trion and that I don't even have the New Special Edition Trick Dempsey Action Figure yet (but I have been scouring E-bay for It).
I would say that my version of "Diplomacy" and what I read from a lot of other users here on the Forum differ greatly. Don't get it twisted, I am not talking down to anyone at all, I just feel as though "wheeling out the dead horse" and allowing everyone to beat It over and over isn't being diplomatic in the least.
Before anyone takes this personal, DON'T.
Everyone has things that they want in Defiance; from flying cars to jetpacks, motorcycles to submarines, trainable pets and even (gasp!) No more bugs or an auction house?
I think that Tonisha is mad SEXY rolling her eyes like that, but there is a method to my madness.
A little salt is hard to do away with but sugar is desirable, think about it.

DAWN PATROL every saturday A.M., Run and Gun on XBL NA!
The big problem is that this happens also on PC,so:
first question,will ever be fixed the "clone effect" at least on PC?
second,will players who bought the DLC get some reward like the ones(Raptor and oufit) from DLC 1?
third,any new weapons?
1st. Can we allow charge sniper rifles to have elemental attacks agian?
2nd. Can we have Tier 4 mods be permanitly in the game?
3rd. Can we please have syphon mods, if not why cant we?
4th. How will synergy mods work, will they be for [2] or [4] mods?
5th. Can we get a anti material rifle in the game someday?
1-Can you talk about any details for in game voice chat and how you are looking to improve it?
2-Is there a way to introduce maybe "EVENT" chat where many people participating in an event can all be on together and be able to talk to one another? (as you may or may not know....if you have more than 6 or 7 people around....area chat does not work well, it splinters everyone)

The new Jackpot and Epic horde lockboxes seemed to be successful.
Are there any plans for additional types of lockboxes in the future such as vehicle, or costume lockboxes.
Diplomacy is pointless when you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
How about I pose this question for the livestream: Should forum commenters continue to beat dead horses in order to get the improvements, fixes, and new content we want, or should we say it only once in a soft voice with plenty of compliments and never speak of it again?
The point being is that you make a coherent/cogent argument for your case and not shouting the odds at Trion.
Oh, I thought he was complaining about all those that do make coherent/cogent arguments for their cases, but do it over and over again (beating a dead horse) because their issue is never addressed or fixed, and then they eventually conclude that their feedback falls on deaf ears...
I didn't know he was just talking about the pure jerks, at least it didn't seem that way.

1. When will the shotgun mag bonus be addressed? 1.05 does nothing, and 1.10 does some strange things to the burst fire fraggers.
This will be addressed. Answered 9/27
9. Von Bach rep vendor items did not receive the same buff as the other rep vendors. Was this intended?
Answered 10/4/2013. Von Bach rep vendor items have received the same bonus (10%) as the others. Case in point the EMC Assault rifle at the VBI rep vendor has a DMG of 242. The same rifle at the Hermit's Hideaway (with the sick snow camo) has a DMG of 220. The Epic rarity items in this vendor still don't have the bonus. This info will be pm'd to avoid a wasted question. This has been fixed with patch 1.105
4. The 200% melee on self revive bonus didn't always exist. Mind REminding me (see wut I did there?) what that bonus roll was before? Removed on weapons generated after patch 1.105. Yay!
3. somebody.. Tell me what exactly does the Private chat invite option do? At least on PS3 because it ain't doing shtako right now... This supposed to be a tell/whisper invite but it doesn't work all the time if any. AKA it's broke... 10/18/2013
5. Any plans to bring the other elements as converter mods? Short answer: Yes. Don't get your hopes up for syphon converters though. 10/18/2013
6. After you unlock all perks, you stop getting XP. Along with the XP, you no longer receive the kill confirmations like critical, multi, or power kills. Tbh I miss seeing that. It was addressed months ago as being in the bug database. When will it return? It will be looked into. To make sure it's still on track to being remedied. As of 10/18/13.
7. Rewards given for instanced events i.e. North Point Mine, Kinship Plaza, Dark Matter Base and Minor Arkfalls are sporadic at best when doing them alone or with a group. Will keycode rewards be adjusted so that everyone participating gets their just rewards? A definitive Yes was given. 10/18/2013
8. Apparently, Weapons gotten out of the Claims section will no longer receive a mastery bonus upon being mastered. Fix in place for this yet? Dev testing did not find any evidence that weapons received from the claims section would remove the weapon's mastery or make it come up blank. i believe they have found another reason for this happening. Claims section and blank mastery weapons could be just a coincidence. 10/18/2013
11. What the hell is wrong with that area around the Crater? The lag surrounding that area is ridiculous. Even walking from Iron Demon to The Crater about 30 secs after initially logging in and the road was completely gone. I felt like I was Criss Angel for a while there... Fast traveling to The Crater usually results in an instant timeout. There was an issue before of preloaded cutscenes being loaded and triggered (without actually triggering) unnecessarily. This was thought to be turned off and could possibly be the reason for latency issues in this area. 10/18/2013
12. I laugh whenever I read or hear people say "You have to do this to get this roll!" I say random is random. How much do actions that are performed while mastering a weapon contribute to its mastery bonus? None what-so-ever. Mastery bonus is already determined upon looting a weapon and it's up to you to find out what it is. 10/18/2013
13. I've always wondered why a dev never came in and clarified some of the player discussions since some weapon info and such is so vague on the weapon cards. Throw some mechanics numbers at me/us. Shield nano resistance does what? The Spanner Protector reduces damage by what? How much more damage to vehicles does a Breaker Cannon do? Things of that nature... I was asked to PM for these type of questions. As some may require getting some data and double checking for the correct answers. I will send a PM today 10/21/2013. the answers I get I'll share...
14. How is it possible that the "stock" melee animation on the Charge Blade does MORE damage than the "slash" melee? Some bad number coding. Charge blade slash vs charge slash will also be looked at. Currently, the same amount of damage can be done using quick slashes in the same time it takes to charge a slash. A re-balance is necessary. 10/18/2013
15. 0.0 Det grenades have issues to say the least. i.e. Exploding in the users face no matter how far it's thrown. Is there a fix for these issues? Why does this happen? Unsure as to why this happens at all. Will be looked into. 10/18/2013. Devs were unaware of said problem. Here are 2 threads discussing nade problems that may be linked to the same source. This one and that one.
16. The Particle Ultimag charge pistol never comes with mod slots unlocked. Ever. Why is that? It does come with mod slots except any after EGO 1625 (such a weird number). Will be fixed. 10/18/2013 Patch 1.106 lists the mod slots as being fixed but did not fix them. Patch 1.107 has fixed both the issue with the white rarity bonus roll and the mod slots.
2. Co-op grouping channels. What is up with the chat channels? How is it that 90% of the time ONE person gets locked out of the group and stuck in clan chat unable to communicate with the others in the co-op? Why not just have one single channel for co-op? Another rehash of the chat UI is coming. Making it so you can mute and unmute different chat categories in the same chat channel. Hopefully this fixes this issue. 11/8/2013
10. Charge Blade range is either unbalanced or broken in PvP. Why is it that on my screen I'm in front of players cutting them down but on their screen I'm about 10-15 ft. away still doing damage? Is this a peer-to-peer latency issue? Devs Have been unable to reproduce this bug. Just may be a peer to peer latency issue. Upcoming charge blade changes may or may not fix this issue.
17. The VBI CS-X Cluster Shot is a combat shotgun that shoots grenades. Why doesn't the grenades register as explosives? i.e. It doesn't benefit from any explosive perks, bonuses, etc... The Courier a sawed off shotgun that does the same thing counts as an explosive. A data update is required to adjust weapons that shoot explosive projectiles accordingly.11/8/2013
18. The Volge LMG has the bonus roll of accuracy. While it's classified as a LMG, the fact that it shoots an explosive and has no bloom makes accuracy basically a useless roll. How is this useful?
Fired at long range, accuracy which is not bloom, bloom is how much bigger something gets over time after each shot, accuracy is how narrow that cone is in the first place. Accuracy at long range with that gun is effective. 11/8/2013 Of the 10-12 V-LMGs I've had, not one (with accuracy rolls) has had a tighter reticule than the others. 1 of 3 things must be happening: The V-LMG does not benefit from accuracy, Accuracy doesn't work correctly on the V-LMG, or I'm not seeing something...
19. The old Tactical AR scope (AKA the red A-frame one see here ) was not only removed from the game but the mod was swapped with the Assault scope (and see here that this wasn't intended...hopefully). Leaving us with a "no scope" and my favorite scope gone from the game. This scope was also on the Pistols as the advanced scope at the time. We also campaigned for this not to happen and it still did. If it's not coming back at least can we have an explanation of why it was removed? (more or less)The tactical scope was replaced by the stability scope, essentially those scopes had near to zero or no zoom on them and they were intended to not actually put you into the scope. Giving you the advantages of the scope without putting you into the scope loading screen. They are not coming back. 11/8/2013 :EPICSADFACE:
20. The RNG is reeking havok on the synergy mods. Specifically the Rep vendor mod synergies. The EGO Precision, Prepared, and Scavenger synergies are showing up on weapon mods of weapons that don't come with that synergy. (i.e. a rocket launcher with Prepared synergy) Can the RNG parameters be changed to remedy this? Not so much a RNG issue but a discrepancy between the list of synergy mods generated vs the list of synergy weapons currently being generated. The mods still work on weapons though. 11/8/2013
21. When the Castithan Charge Pack came out, the Human female character's melee now has some weird slide forward after effect. This goes for the Castithan Female as well since it's the same character model. Makes it hard to melee to get out of trouble if your character slides towards the enemy instead. What is up with that? Tell Greg to make a female char (human or casti) and melee with it and you'll see... All character model do this. 11/8/2013 This is incorrect. The Casti and Human female (And Irath females to a lesser extent) characters have some kind of mag-lock animation after they melee and the enemy flinches. It's similar to how you "jump to" an enemy when using a charge blade except this happens after the melee has occurred. No male chars (well, Human and Irath, I don't have a Casti male) have this issue.

22. After the new rolls patch, a select few weapons have been dropping with no nano effects. To name them, the VOT Pulsers, FRC Berserker, Couriers, Clustershots, and every charge sniper in-game. Over the course of the ExtraLife event, a few clanmates and I farmed relentlessly and you'd think out of the hundreds (possibly thousands) of weapons we saw, at least ONE would come with a nano at any rarity. Could you take a look at these weapons to see if it's still possible for these weapons to drop with nanos? and Yes, we know about the nano converters...
23. (From the Dawn and Dark Knight Patrol) A question was asked a few weeks ago about the improvements being made to clans and giving them more substance. Could these changes include Clan Alliances (as in making clans able to have the ability to work together and see each other as allies in-game)? If this is possible, could the allied clans have a shared chat channel?
