Destiny releases. Though it is console only. And it used to be over nine thousand. ;P

Just another FPS game, hype im sure, but im sure its not going to kill defiance. Honestly i don't think defiance is dying, and i have only been playing for about 1 month really , even though i had the game since march of this year. But the game is great and I'm loving it. But in the future if the game does get shut down say 3 years from now, well i hope they make it offline so i can continue playing

I will say what I played in their Beta was not hyped at all. Twas amazing. I'm even getting an Xbox One just because of Destiny. If the rest of the game improves upon what was in the Beta it....well....there just aren't words for it. *wipes tear from eye*

truest statement ive read in a while. this game used to be excellent...havent played since the bullet sponge dlc and wont. but i still come here in hopes that itll maybe change even though i know the answer. destiny beta was great and im confident ill enjoy the game, defiance fumbled on the goal line with that decision to make everything suck...

Thank you, Oasis. Not sure if he saw this but I tried. After the bullet sponge there was a moment where they really seemed to be focusing on the game and consumer satisfaction. They made the enemies less 'spongy' and events more enjoyable again. I think they rebuffed them slightly, which can be frustrating for anyone new who doesn't have an at their level loadout. I got what I wanted out of the game, although buyers remorse set in for a few items... heh. I'm saddened that the memory I have will be nothing like the memory new comers have... and sadly I dont think the time invested will be half.

I agree that Destiny was spot on with the type of game that it is. I'll be getting it myself. Not to replace Defiance, since I'll always be an Arkhunter... even if it's on the forums.

You're a new player. Your opinion on what state the game is in doesn't matter. Vets like me and several others have seen this game and its population deteriorate over time thanks to crappy patches and content that wasn't really tested on their beta servers. Seriously, go look at the mess that is Silicon Valley. Drive around for a while and notice how many emergencies are stuck because of enemies spawning underground. Notice how the incursions and arkfalls there get stuck.

If this is the care that Trion shows for their content, what makes you think the quality of this game is going to get better. How about you play for more than a year and get a better understanding of how far down the ladder this game has stepped from what it used to be.

Yea, because knowing in advance whats getting nerfed and how bad us veterans are going to get screwed will def. relieve some tension.

It does get under the skin.

cant compare defiance to destiny... defiance was, at its beginning, one of a kind. sure it pulled from mmos, shooters, and borderlands(ish).. but thats what everything does nowadays thats successful. they peace together the best of whats around... then something happened and it got sour real quick, i agree it is pretty sad that the memory i have of this game is of disgust, bc i thought it was a "gamechanger" when it came out. Destiny will be just like defiance was, a game that takes best elements from other games... only they have one thing defiance never did... a competent company backing it up... cheers for destiny

Would appreciate a few hints or announcements, for the community

They did the livestream on Defiance: http://www.twitch.tv/trionworlds/b/558498035

- They're not going to change reward nerf. They didn't even address AF, just keycodes,
- They're not going to change droprate nerf, to make Defiance "economics more balanced",
- We are suppose to believe weapons will be decreased, dropping useless synergies & stats.

Which means the situation will remain unchanged. Trion will keep slipping in stealthnerfs without any communication, the "fulfilling chase" aka Korean Grind will remain. The endgame which was mainly hunting and upgrading/modding legendary weapons is scrapped, it's back to using good blue/purple (because even if OJ drops, its gonna be crap).

The incoming changes to "custom made jackpot OJ's" (which arent OP, youre better off using your double/triple crit wolfhound) and improved synergy (and nanos?) will not change that tradeskilling using the matrix is redundant. It's back to pick up a weapon and play. Not to mention it's another kick to people who bought the Seasonpass DLC.

They will roll back the T3 arkforge nerf, with a chance of 100 AF from T4, but with the low keycode droprate now, it's debatable if it will bring back the vets to play this game. In all, in terms of longevity, Defiance is clearly not focussing on old players.

I will give them points for communication (the jabs were funny ), but I fail to see how this will entice the old vets on returning to play and, more importantly, spend money in Defiance's cashshop.

Destiny releases. Though it is console only. And it used to be over nine thousand.

Defiance is killing itself. Less people staying, is less playing, is less people buying. It didn't change.



P.S.: I understand the change on keycode to prevent arkforge boss sniping, but it's still a nerf.

Actually, I think you'll find that the freehunters are the only players whose opinions they care about. They've made it abundantly clear that they don't care about the veteran players who supported the game from the start.
