I just got home from work and tried to load up Defiance. Kept getting technical errors and finally traced it to the XBOX LIVE service having problems with matchmaking... Which is basically what defiance is.

So, there's the problem.

Been reading alot on the forums here and just have to say to all the hardcore MMO crowd to take it easy on the console people who are new to this situation like myself. Nobody with an xbox or a ps3 knew they that wouldnt be able to play a game they just bought at the store. Not everyone knows the standards for MMO releases including myself but since reading through here i understand it will be some time before things are where the need to be in order to play. Thats fine i can wait.......but bashing people becuase they just didnt know is messed up. They have been playing xbox playstaion and other consoles all their life and guess what.....when they go to the store and spend hard earned money on a 50-60 dollar game aside from a day one update they can play instantly. No one wants to order a steak and not be able to eat it for a week to a month. Not everyone that plays games has all the free time in the world to drink mountain dew and get cheeto stains all over their shirts sitting in front a monitor all day playing an MMO or anything else for that matter. Normal people other than kids who are on break have jobs and lives outside of gaming. Although they love gaming they just have other resposiblities. No one wants to go to the store and buy a game for whatever amount of money and not be able to play with the little free time they have. I will wait for the game to come around but try not lash out at others who simply just dont know the process of an MMO because you do and you think that they should. Also keep in mind the xbox is a much more popular online platform than ps3 for third party titles. So the wave of xbox complaints is because more copies were sold on xbox in general. I imagine more copies could have been sold on pc than either console but im willing to bet the xbox has sold the most at this point. Could be wrong....

Very good post!! Well Said!!

For the people who have the 7-day xp and scrip boost will we be compensated for the server issues?

Yes I also hope to be compensated for loss of days for scrip and Xperia boost. Hope that will happen.

Technically the game has been out 4 days. 7 Days = 1 Week. I believe they are working harder than other games. Look how long it takes other game updates to happen. Just be glad they're doing SOMETHING.

Also [if you're on the xbox], at least they do not need to go through Microsoft for these patches, that would take at least 4x as long.

Well, even though the game has had more than its share of issues so far I gotta say I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of effort the folks at Trion are exerting to get these issues sorted. So thanks for all the hard work guys.
