To Trion: Lower the score for Gunslinger arenas

[Jet1337]

Plz stop complaining, it's ****ing doable, I'm damn noob and got gold in every arenas.

So a noob got gold by himself in every arena? If it was that easy I would've had gold the first day the DLC came out.

I see you play on the PC, well for us Xbox 360 users its a laggy/glitch fest every damn time. So either they need to nerf the score to reach gold rating or somehow fix the enemies themselves. People who do have gold on Xbox are lucky as all hell.

Here's a suggestion: let the multiplier go higher when there are fewer players in the arena. Something like x10 for solo, x6 for 2 players, x4 for 3 and x3 for 4.

I dunno, I think they are fine.

The question is, do you play MMOs for the solo aspect? How many other MMOs have so much solo content as Defiance? Isn't it nice to have more content geared towards a small group?

If they lower the need for gold so soloists can do it, then that will eventually take away from group gold, which is what they are wanting the player base to do.

I don't want them to change it. Out of the 6 arenas I have played with a 3 man team, I've gotten gold on all of them except for 2. If you fail, try again.

I dunno, I *shrug* at the complete want for solo activities on an MMO and also nerfing things to make them easier. I get this is a *casual* game, but still.

Its doable on PC *******. Try doing it "legit" on the 360. Youre at the mercy of sheer ****ing luck to get it done unless you use the health farming trick. Them you have to pray you dont get crit'd out while doing it.

Since the DLC just came out, allow it sometime for the devs to fine-tune its details. I think, by now, we all kind of got the sense that quality control and testing isn't really part of the equation prior to content release.

There is no matchmaking That is the problem...

[Arsenic_Touch]

They said on the livestream that they have no intention of lowering the score for solo play. They said bronze was solo, gold was group.

[PimplyPete]

So basically Trion says F U to solo players.

The Irony here is that when the first DLC was released, the arenas were solo only....which drove my buddies away from the game. (not to mention the bugs and server issues) Now the Gunslinger is released and it's catered for groups....which I no longer have because of the previous statement.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good challenge. (Played the hell out of Ninja Gaiden 1~3 and Dark Souls) But most of the arenas from Gunslingers are impossible to solo at the moment.

If Trion won't lower the score for solo players, then they should add a giant warning message to those that tries to buy the DLC. Maybe something along the line of "this DLC is not intended for solo players, don't download if your the only one of your friends who still plays this game".

Just another rant from another day 1 player. I really, really, really want to keep playing this game, but Trion is making it so hard for me to keep playing.....

Like mentioned above, Trick said in the livestream that Bronze was the maximum-prize for solo the arena's and gold can only be achieved in a full group (although 3 works as well). It was meant to be this way, and they're unlikely to change it.

Since its an MMO i can fully understand the thought behind this. Solo is fine, but Bronze. Gold is the hardcore-mode for a group. I'm lucky enough to be in a clan with active players and have no problem filling a group. But there are people that choose not to be in a group, and therefor they have no chance of forming a group and no chance for gold.

Trion should definitely keep the scoring this way, but needs to make it so that you dont have to enter with a group. A matchmaking-system like with co-op maps and PvP would be an excellent solution. If i enter with my group of 3 and there is a solist in matchmaking, he gets his full group and we get the party filled.

But lowering the scores to keep solists happy... Guys please haha. You have any idea what will happen with groups? They'll triple the gold-rating requirements and see no challenge anymore. No challenge is no play. And would make this whole DLC die out within days.

I was kinda upset at first for, again, receiving a DLC that i thought had no value. I did the storylines and was rewarded a SMG with Blur, a Sniper with Cloak. I love it! And these Arena's real help getting teamplay back up, instead of having only blue spots at every event. The Arena's arent hard, but Gold is challenging. I was afraid the new Score-system would F- everything up, but it didnt. It improved the game, making visiting the whole incursion worth while and 'punishing' players camping at the spot where the Incursion would end. Just playing the endpart will now never get you into the #1 position, meanwhile doing the whole event can give you enough points to secure a T10-box even before the Siege starts.
