Announcing Arktech Revolution, Defiance's Fifth DLC Pack

[InfamousBrad]

While Arktech Revolution does not add a new landmass, it is adding a lot of new visuals to the landscape in terms of enemies and their behavior. Beyond the standard and elite versions, the master and grandmaster versions are much, much scarier.

Adding boss mobs to existing content adds nothing to the story, nor does it really give us anything new to do. It just makes the old, repetitive content slightly harder.

Question did I say anything remotely leading in that direction? I do agree that the changes in appearance should be minor. This is a sci-fi shooter and Dark Matter are made up of alien races. As such they should follow Dark Matter design tenants and not steal armor design from the dark ages of earth.

I'm not sure why you think they aren't Dark Matter design tenants. They are very consistent with them. In the current game all Dark Matter have shoulder pauldrons, covered helmets and armored boots. In the current game the Monitors have heavy bracers and tunics and the Enforcers have chest armor that resembles banded mail (as does Nim Shondu). With the exception of the Snipers they are essentially armored infantry units so it's not inconsistent that their heavier hitting counterparts would be more heavily armored infantry.

I think you know it's just a little more involved than that.

Only a little more involved? I hope that was sarcasm.

[Holy Bahamut3]

You forgot the zombies.

*snaps fingers* I knew I forgot something...

I am happy to have some more challenging Dark Matter units.
Dark Matter should be some total Bad@$$es anyway: ruthless, cunning and straight hardcore. If You look at what they should be in measure of soldiers, they are the fanatical "true believers" (in my opinion) that will fight to the last breath. Very "Waffen SS".
This AT THE VERY LEAST is a small spot of light in a very dark tunnel so far.

I've been talking with the Defiance developers on this topic. We're eager to make certain our Season Pass and DLC5 players appreciate the value of their purchases. Today's article detailing EGO rating and weapon power changes will touch on this.

I'm inferring from this that they will be exclusive to players that own Arktech Revolution.

thets what hee said but nothing about rest dlcs well at last dlc 5 will make some changes

Since we are supposed to be getting new perks how about making some perks passive(work without being equipped) and some active(have to equip them to a perk slot). just saying considering the amount ov available perks vs the amount of perk slots it would be nice /make some sense.

What I find annoying is that all this effort in bringing stims, spikes grenade changes, core mechanic changes, seems like wasted money, when the precious small dev team should be working on map expansion, or new content within the map, their is plenty of lore for this from season 1. We don't want trick and his 3 blind mice changing things that then require patch after patch after patch to repair the damage, we want more side missions, main missions, NEW CONTENT!

Scapes you say you are listening, I say you listen then ignore, oh they say they want map expansions, but what they are really saying is they want minor arkfalls to become useless, they say they enjoy solo play, let's remove that from them and make it hard to form groups.....

I gave up on the game presenting more lore and background WAY before the first DLC, THANK THE GODS we have the T.V. show for that... unless Syfy does to it like all its other good shows and cancels it *cough* warehouse 13, stargate, Being Human *cough*
