Celebrate Defiance's First Year!

[Atticus Batman]

Good idea as this would actually provide a greater reward for those who purchased SP or all the DLC.

And make me consider logging in tonight.

Evan,

Thank you for the boosts. Not everyone has already capped out their EGO grid so just because the xp boost has no value to some players doesn't mean it has no value period. As for the loot boost, yes it is all whites and greens but Salvage doesn't grow on trees that we can harvest so it has value to me because I'm occasionally getting an open slot on a weapon at close to EGO 4600 and it has value to players with lower EGO ratings as well. Ditto for skill xp boosts.

It's also great to hear that boosts purchased from the bit store are going to run on game time in the future.

That being said....

Is there a specific reason why reputation boosts are not included during boost events? I think this is what someone was getting at in their prior posts. Given the increased value that reputation tokens have now, a 25% boost running for an entire weekend would probably be appreciated by all players and especially EGO rating 5000 players who really don't get much from the boost events otherwise.

I realize that Defiance is still a relatively young game compared to Rift and that is why celebration events have been relatively unimaginative with nothing to show for them but boosts, but it is 1 year now and you can't pull things out of a cache of special celebration items and events when the time comes until you actually start making and implementing them. It's probably too late now but making a special temporary vendor with special weapons and/or shields like the Extra Life vendor would have been a nice way to celebrate the anniversary. That would have been a nice start to building a cache of content you can pull out for special events. Oh well.

Even a box that we could pay for that would provide the things we wanted would work. As long as it's not 80$

April 2 marks an important day in the Defiance universe: it’s our birthday! 365 days ago today, Trion Worlds opened the Defiance servers to ark hunters on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. To celebrate, we’re adding a 24-hour global boost to XP gain, skill gain, and loot drop rate! However, we’re aware that Defiance’s anniversary lands on a Wednesday when most ark hunters are not going to be able to celebrate with us. Our solution? A second global boost all this weekend!
Defiance Anniversary Boosts to XP Gain, Skill Gain, and Loot Drop Rate
Start: Wednesday, April 2 at 12:00 PM Pacific
End: Thursday, April 3 at 12:00 PM Pacific
Start: Friday, April 4 at 12:00 PM Pacific
End: Monday, April 7 at 12:00 PM Pacific
We sincerely thank you for being part of the Defiance community. To mark the game’s first year, Creative Lead Trick Dempsey will be posting a State of the Game article covering the year in review and how Defiance is growing in its second year.

So... should have been a few hours ago, right?

This all would have been awesome....if the servers hadn't just crashed. Methinks you guys didn't plan for people to pick up the game when it went on sale on Steam...

Looked into this when requesting the anniversary boosts, we actually don't have global reputation boosts coded for the server. Is it something we can consider working on in the future? I'd like to say yes.

C'mon man...You honestly want us to believe that it's too difficult a task for the masters of copy\paste to not be able to copy\paste code from existing global boosts to ones that haven't got it?

I mean, seriously. Every DLC to date was copy/pasted from some other element in game. Boosts just a bit more difficult?

Checked in with the team on this, as it turns out it's a simple time zone issue: we set the wrong time zone for those platforms. As a result, the boosts will be starting in about 60 minutes (5:00 PM Pacific) for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 . We've made sure they'll continue for a full 24 hours and sorry we didn't preempt this error.

We'll be fixing our script's time zone setting so this won't happen with the weekend's boost timing.

why not have us deal with the Escaped WarMaster(s), for the event, with guarantee awesome loots, Must be quite a few out there running around, seen a few escaped myself.

As to how to keep the WM contained, from actually really escaping and running amok through out the Zones , leave that to the Dev-team, maybe caught and contained behind the fences on one of the farms ???

Random drops could be Outfits as well , yes no, maybe ???? they been running around for a while, they may even had picked up, and could possibly drop a Challenger ???
