Same here, but I am not optimistic.
I second this agreement!!!
not sure about the random BMG and Crimefighter, though possible. But yes it is possible that someone joins in on your expedition. and yes it does byte, if you wanted to solo, and someone pops in and gets the kill, so you end up having to do a more difficult round trying to get the kill for the weekly. So far it's who gets the killing shot gets credit.
what makes it tough for me I need to wait for the environment to load, and if a gun-ho pops in rushes in, then back peddles, I have to dodge invisible attackers I cannot shoot back at.
There is a scaling system, so if your a low ego started the expedition, then they'll be scaled down.
had this happen to me on PTS already LOL . . I wasn't mad, just discouraged, but also had another day to try again, but at that time there was no cost of hunters requisitions to start a Expedition (now there is , on PTS), so I could just extract, then start again at round 1.
my experience so far, each round the difficulty increases , my ego 1900 PTS character doesn't have the best gear, so once I reach round 5, it's tough for me to survive alone, those mini bosses get really mean, nasty mean
once time someone joined in my expedition, and I had the first area almost finished when they did, but they was on a "continue", after the boss they asked if I joined, I said no, I had half the first section cleared when they joined, so it was strange they were placed in my expedition . . maybe that wont happen since the latest patch, though unsure the player was joining me last night was on continue or just entering, I didn't bother to ask
Well, that doesn't seem fair at all. Who would play if this was the case?
"Expeditions are not to be undertaken lightly. Joining an Expedition costs a Hunter Requisition – or “Hunter Req” for short – which are available both for Bits and as login rewards."
Could this mean that they changed it and it I'll be a daily login reward or is it still just a weekly login reward?
I was excited for this update. But after reading the notes and seeing the livestream about this and the event I've lost a lot of interest. Not only for this update but also for the game as a whole. I have 4 paid dlc I've yet to receive trophies for and the arkbreaker dlc is now tied to this new content which isn't an improvement for dlc owners. I bought the dlc, did the pursuits. Have not played it since.
So, if this is going to be pay to play content then I'm probably going to leave defiance. Too many bugs, to many disconnects way too many hard freezes. Defiance is the only game I've experienced these issues. The ONLY.
Still the same as far as i know. Daily for patrons, weekly for "us".

Surprised people aren't taking issue with this.If you’ve fallen in combat without an available revive, you can spend a Hunter Req to refresh your cooldown and continue the fight.
I don't care, but I know that feature will raise a red flag or two for some.
I just want to know how much story there is.
If we're finally leaving the SF area, that means they should be able to deliver more expanded story. Even if it means just some datarecorders or basic intel.
That's the first thing I noticed too. I wonder why they left out an infector?
1.05 shotgun mag boost? REALLY?
PC/NA&EU, too many toons to list.

just my POV
if you're 5k plus and in a really good group, you can do this once a week absolutely free. completing your weeklies and getting your cores, the cores are only earned from the weekly's, if you're not 5k, and your group does not get you 2 tier 20, weekly's are going to be a workout
the down side to only doing expeditions once a week . . getting cyber rigs, and chips. your selection choices will be very little for a while, and if your a average or poor player, you're going to want them cyber rigs to make up your lack of good equipment or Gaming skill. Just saying in their current state that's what I would say.
I really like the progression of the tier system in the Expeditions. I actually think those that find most content easy, may find they can build up to a more challenging fights. Not everyone, but I do believe most will notice this.
nothing is final yet, to give a final opinion , though for certain , I don't like the idea that Hunter req's will be needed, if you have once already self revive, or needed to revive others in your group
All I can say is........ open up your wallets. It is there in black and white... No patron pass... no keys, but there will be plenty in the defiance store..... I am glad that I decided to stop spending money on this game.
Maybe enough people complain they might chance it, but I doubt that. such a shame
Change it ? LOL they are completely shameless lately, the pay to win becomes more obvious with each big update, didn't really look at pursuits in detail but at least 1 of them was complete 100 expeditions, 1 req per week this is going to take almost 2 years! Will there even be a game in 2 years time? And all this complaining which is being read, and not a single word from the team as to why they're doing it this way, my guess is that they really believed they would have driven all the vets away by now and there would be none left to complain about their seemingly unfair decisions
But I don't like guessing, so maybe one of the team would care to comment on these changes and explain why they're so determined to implement something that is clearly very unpopular with the customer, I'm sure they have their reasons, though hearing them might just make this bitter pill a little bit easier to swallow
