Incursions

[XxBrandonxX]

I would like to say that with the new DLC the much looked forward to Incursions are nothing more than a bunch of side missions followed by a siege. Which i might add is nothing the game didnt have before the DLC, Trion you all need to add something fresh with a new dlc. the xp you recieve is nice but its not nearly as interesting as i was hoping for.

Arkbreaker at least added new weapons and a few new cut scenes. this one just added a hashed together mission style, some samurai outfits and a katana. I was hoping for the incursions to have a story behind them with a new enemy and would it kill them to try to add some reason for the 7th Legion being there. "Don't mind us, we'll just set up our kiosk and get out your way" is basically what happened with this one.
...Unless this is just the prep to iron out the kinks before they become full-fledged when the second season premieres this summer

This sums it up. Incursions were/are a complete waste of time. I am really surprised with Trion on this front. I don't know how they are on PC but on the PS3 they are incredibly unstable, glitch out constantly and often fail to start/end. This renders Incursions virtually unplayable on the PS3.

I feel much of Trion's games look solid, why is Defiance the one getting a hot steaming **** taken on it?

Not much better on PC. To give an example, things were going okay for about a half hour after I logged in today. An incursion popped up, and the moment everyone reached the siege site the server crashed out.

Despite the complaining about incursions most people (so it seems) on a given server still gravitate to them. Of course, if the server's just going to reward players that are enjoying (or taking advantage of) the new option with massive lag and/or crashouts, the whole thing shouldn't even have made it out of the beta phase.

Nothing I hate more than new content that's half-baked. Creates more discontent than a longer waiting period and smears the game as a whole, especially for critical new blood just coming in.

Then again, maybe it's just weak servers. *shrug*

Edit: Didn't any of this happen on the alpha/test servers?

@Kruhljak Same on PS3, everyone and their moms come to the Incursions despite complaints. I go to pretty much watch the fail and am usually found perched in a tree. There will be hundreds of people there yet they will all disappear and you will only see yourself but they will remain on radar. I tried to load "nearby" to do a count but was DC'ed each time I tried, so its not a coincidence. Then theres the lag, it is so choppy that it looks like your teleporting around or moving in slow motion (which ever lag it wants to give you at the time).

I know I b!tch a lot about this game but its only because I like the idea and its "general" implementation but I want to "Love it".
