Defiance Free-to-Play Arrives June 4!

[Hopeisdead]

The F2P players won't use arkforge? I didn't see this. For me they won't recieve the 1000 arkfoges but it can be acquired, don't?

And how F2P will buy the KeyCode limits expansion? With real money or game money?

Well maybe they will get arkforge however they wont be able to use it at least that is what i get from it. Use of arkforge is mentioned to the owners of digital or box copy and not in F2P side. And keycode expansions as pretty much anything else with real money / bit shop.

Right, I'd already known about that from reading the thread from page 1 in addition to scoping out the F2P description page that I took the SS from. My concern comes from the fact that description page says "70" and that players will keep any extra slots that they had prior to F2P launch. However, is doesn't say anything about whether or not owners will continue to accrue slots during their normal ego progression like they would have prior to F2P. My question is solely whether or not this mechanic will remain or if it will be stripped and players will be stuck at whatever number of slots they had (minimum 70) unless they pay for more.

I would put it that way maximum 70 + what you bought, and since you are pre-order owner than it would be those 70+whatever that bonus was.

Scapes, question about the patron pass. Will that be 30 days from the date that the game goes to f2p?

Or will it work as 30 days of the boosts??

I know there are people that work 2-3 weeks at a time and can't play the game. If it is 30 days from the start od F2P then there could be alot of people that won't benifit because they have to work.

IDK but it does not seen unfair, I mean a little P2W?

It was already asked, but as it's not been answered:

@Scapes: For CONSOLE players, if we decide to download the game once it's available, will this allow us to keep our current account (i.e. keep our Veteran status and perks which go with it) and not use the disk?

I prefer to play games via digital copy on my XBox when I play it a lot. Of those which I don't, I install to disk when I can, but much prefer pure digital. Saves on the wear and tear on the machine.

Kiwi answered this after the live stream. Your acct. should cross over. Would love ABSOLUTE clarification on this.

So the real veterans who already have over 70 inventory slots, 5 loadouts, and already have enough arkforge (i am set on legendaries already...) aren't getting jack s**t from this game going free to play, 1k arkforge is a literal slap in the face. I was pretty sure you guys could do something better. (boosts? what am i going to level? level 20 weapon skills? ego grid that's already been capped?)

Yep, and you see the problem with it in what exactly ? If the game were not announced as going free to play would you just start random thread about not getting some free stuff at certain day ?

i see the fact that loyalty to the game doesn't mean a thing

I think you might be getting me confused with Kiwidream, but that should be correct. It wouldn't make much sense for it not to. I'll double check, though!
