This is so frustrating.. I can't even log into the servers for more than 5-10 minutes before "timing out" with the Defiance servers...
At this point, I can't even log back into the game. It's not my internet, as I'm running programs on other computers (watching LoL games in progress) which could not run without uninterrupted internet access. Not really quite sure what to do, I don't want to lose all the time I have left for my bonus exp and whatnot.
This game, like so many others lately, is all hype.
RIFT was terrible, so I didn't expect much from this either, but other games I had high hopes for failed sharply.
This games graphics are dated beyond belief, for being so hyped up - they could have done a little better. Online only? Seriously? The more you try to force this - the more issues you get with connection, the more latency everyone gets. Shouldn't you learn this by now having RIFT's failure to reflect upon, or the hundreds of other games that did this very same thing - only to have day 1 issues?
Why do you refuse to take the time to do something right, prepare for the mass player base, and prevent these issues from the start?
This lack of forethought shows me all I need to know about "Defiance - the video game" - Stay Away.
It won't be long before the servers are ravaged by hackers and exploitation and the game play is ruined for everyone anyway, forcing a massive change that will never get the right attention to save the game's skin.
The "shot at limelight" having your character mentioned or in the TV show itself will be enough for some players to mod their systems, outright cheating through game play, or use alternate means of "Dbaggery" to advance themselves and keep newer players in the dust. This is not the kind of game play you should support, this is not the kind of game people should desire.

Taking new members for Defiance all the time. If you're a glitcher of any kind, don't bother. If you're annoying, don't bother. Here for FUN!
No, in other words... REFUND!
First off... (and this is directed at unnamed PC gamers) there's not a TRUE and OPTIMAL system for gaming. The gaming industry should be equal and fair to ALL gamers no matter the system. Rather than bashing others just 'cause they don't play on my system', you should respect and be considerate that not all platforms are the same. That's just flat out immature. I've played games on all sorts of systems, and many games I've played were better on console than PC... And vice versa. It just depends on the type of game.
Ok, that said... I totally understand the effort that went into the INITIAL development of this game and the fact that yes, initial launches and betas and even well-developed games will have bugs, glitches, and whatnot... but seriously, enough is enough. I paid out almost 100 USD for this and I will say, I am HIGHLY disappointed considering the money put into it. Trion, where is my satisfaction? What did you do with my money? Spend it on third-rate servers and hosts? I demand an explanation for this unprecedented result to a game I was looking forward too. I would think you would at least give a reason to this loss of game satisfaction. Respect to you for having the idea of a multi-platform MMO, kudos. Now please, make it work for us, your well-paying customers.
Then you should become a developer and create a game without issues, that everyone wants to play. Make your billions of dollars so that you won't have to rely on developers to create a perfect game experience. It seems you know as if what will work and what won't. Perhaps you should shoot them an email with an exact fix.
You should applaud them for willing to take a shot at creating an MMO that is unique and willing to work with Microsoft to make it playable on the Xbox.
You know this forum gets enough people that complain about the game.
But you don't even have the game.
I mean why are you even on here? Is this the highpoint of your day, bashing on a game you don't have? Do yiu really have nothing better to do?
Thats just sad.
the lag is making this game unbearable. its a really fun game when its working properly. but now the weapons takes about 30 second to switch, the EGO power sometimes doesnt even work and if it does there is a 30 second delay on that too, along with the runners. and are we going to be able to unlock the ability to teleport? because the mobs seem to be able to -_- it seems like patch = lag.
When life becomes too much to handle, remember that we're all going to die some day.

I agree with you. I played for a few hour before they shut down for the patch and no lag and now i come back on and it the same thing every evening. Lots of lag. I rather have they enemies disappear and reappear during ark fall then lag imo. Lag i can do without. everyone say its going to get better i cant tell its the same ole stuff everyday work for a few hours then they patch and dont work any more and they have to shut down again all our time for bonus just running away cant get the full time you buy for the hours they go down everyday.
Got about 4 hours of good lag free gameplay again and then in the middle of an arkfall (that was in the way of a mission objective) it starts lagging again like it was last night. I would rather you take the servers down for a day or two and work things out than this happen over and over. I guess you would need the servers up here and there for testing but this whiplash is making it a bit tough. I'm still faithful though since it's still new and you seem to be working around the clock so keep up the work.
