PVP Feedback and Suggestions.

[Tek Hound]

I'm liking the PvP so far; however, I have noticed a few issues:
- The XP gain for PvP is fine IMO, but would like to be able to receive loot from PvP matches. Even if loot as only reserved for the top players, I would be fine with that.
- It's all about shotguns and detonators. Perhaps, if there are more challenges or pursuits added to PvP, have some gun type related to encourage the use of other weapons.
- Reduce ammo capacity for detonators and launchers in PvP.
- I'm sure we will see more maps as DLC is released, but I would like more variety. The current available maps all have the same feel, large open areas with plenty of sight lines around the edges of the map and then the middle is dominated by CQC.
- I would like to see more objective based game types added.
- Allow for Rally calls to team in Shadow Wars through the quick chat menu. It is an easy way to focus such a large team.

This I like

any chance of getting someone to adress the issue of client-side damage? hackers make pvp frustrating, and in some cases, unplayable.

lmit the number of people that can play using a certain ego power i.e. 2 cloak/OC/blur/decoy or something. It's frustrating as hell always getting killed by jerks you can never see cus they are cloaked and using shotties.

I shot someone in the FACE 5 times with a auto fragger and they still had half health and i was no more than 2-3 meters away it is ridiculous.

i think the pvp is great but if u put a open world clan war but not with players not in the pvp because u have trolls that just never go away and u can get them confused with the bad guys i would also like a update on the region lock and if they don't change it at least have up to like 20 friends play on a custom match with each other because i really don't need all the other people because nobody even uses the chat so i just want to play with my friends in the uk but im in the US and i can't play with them i feel that is why im starting to lose interest in the game because i have nobody to play with

Let us know what sucks, what maps you like, what you want in the upcoming maps.

We will do our best to keep up on the feedback.

Look forward to hearing your opinions.

Add a game mode with no ego powers?

Dont change anything the games fine. But for those who aren't happy with cloak etc, simply add a game mode without ego powers. Sort of like how some games have a separate hardcore mode with certain assist/ features disabled.

This I hope would please everyone. I cant see a obvious downside

I think it would be such a change in play style. It would add so much more replayability than exrta maps

Yeah, I like PvP in Defiance, and sometimes I do awesome, and sometimes not, but I still find it leaving me wanting. I mean, with certain ego powers+weapon combos, it leaves most of the game's weapons (therefor, options) ineffective. In turn, PvP can get stale pretty fast. I know not everyone feels this way, but I also know plenty of people do.

An option to play without them could bring more variety, diversity, and make for more enduring and dynamic game play.

Because it is stupid... Jumping "occasionally" is not the problem, crouching is not the problem... Being a "Bunny" Hopper is .. aka.. NON STOP jumping.. Its not a matter of everyone being able to do it... Everyone can jump off the Eiffel tower but not everyone does and it doesn't make it right. Fine, You want to be a bunny hoppper.. I want your accuracy reduced to 0 and see your bullets going everywhere but where they should, like they should be doing.....

No matter what world whether it be virtual or the real one, standing still and crouching give you better accuracy. You shouldn't be able to void that, and what comes natural by being a ****ing bunny...

I'm never one to compare real life to game... but in the case of this and it being a shooter, it totally ****s up the entire.. what's the world I'm looking for... Setting? Atmosphere? Something else?.....

Its also one of the main reasons I don't play call of duty.. Being able to go prone then jump then go back to prone in 0.1 seconds and repeatedly having the ability to do it is one of the most ******ed things that has ever been introduced to the shooting genre..

Its an exploit, a very annoying one.

Edit: One that can easily be fixed.

Well I am not that clever mouthed as you are so im gunna put it simple . . .

I just read 4 pages of this thread and I got this urge to reply. With your first post I was totally agreeing with ya, with stealth/shotgun being well OP in pvp at this moment in time. But then you came along and started to brag how dare ppl jumping at all. Dude honestly ? You went all joly and fking happy with your brag how you can one shot 3 ppl while you are stealthed, but as soon ppl started to counter act this, it became somewhat unbearable to you, just bcause you cant aim high enough with your frikin' shotgun . . . it just shows your skill level in pvp, as it seams you need some1 to be rly stationary in order for you to press 1 button and get killing blow. Oh wait, I forgot to say that you need to be stealthed . . . So **** YEAH, you will be seeing ppl jumping and MORE jumping just to avoid ****s like you trying to get that cheap shot ! ! ! Have you ever tried to use assault rifle or even smg against "bunny hoppers", for your surprise it works quite well, ofc not that well as your stealth tactic . . . .
