Been over 1k ego for a few days, and still greatly enjoying the game.
I suspect there will come a point where Ill want to devote less time of the day to the game, however I can see my self playing the game casually if nothing else for a very long time.
Especially if trion comes trough on tie-in promises aswell as frequent dlc.
I dont like saying it but when I played Rift, at first it was awsome. A great fun game up there with Dark ages of camelot, but it got old fast because you had to do the same dailys over and over and over again. This game feels much the same, not to mention the difficult inventory system, and all the bugs. I lost intrest in Rift because there was not enough variaty, I also had a large guild but it started to die people just quit playing the game. I hope they do something about the issues they have, I would really like to play this game, but cant put up with the bugs. Not giving up yet, just going to wait and see how the next couple weeks go. does not matter to the company they already got my money.Originally Posted by fishboy11
I've Been playing the game since day one and really enjoy it. Just figured out how to mod weapons. Sniping enemies from a far and seeing the heads get knocked off, some nice graphics for the first game of its type.
I think you just invented minecraft.
Well, we can't forget that this game has been out for... what... 4 days? You can't really expect there to be all the bells and whistles. You got the absolute core of what is needed for this game and it's core features to function. This is how it's been with every MMO since forum MUDs.
That being said. I will probably be taking breaks now and then. I am a simple person. So a game keeps me interesting for as long as there is a carrot that strings me to the next carrot. When all the missions are done... I honestly don't know. Maxing out pursuits isn't my thing. Hasn't been in any game.
We'll see. As I heard, at some date in the teens this month we should get the first DLC. That's also when the show premiers.
Gods I wish I could actually watch that show... damn international fubar...
I quit just now. And not for any of the reasons previously stated. I just can't take it anymore. I have put countless hours into quests only to have to redo them. I logoff and back on the next day and the one finished last I have to redo. Or spend an hour on a quest only to lose it all to a server reboot. Today was the last straw. TWICE in one day they rebooted servers! BOTH times I was fighting NIM. BOTH times I had him nearly dead. Second form and all! I just can't waste time like that. I have seen some bad first weeks. But this takes the cake. Multiple server reboots in one day = game wasn't ready. Rushed it to be in time with the TV show. Shoulda known better. LAME SUPPORT ALL AROUND!
I'll quit sooner than I'd hoped but I can see it being a game I play every week or so for a few hours. if/when I get the platinum trophy though I don't see much a point in continueing to play, the pvp is meh and hard to get shadow wars going, plus everyone is a cloak/shotgun nub. the PVE is awesome, but no variety, arkfalls are the best part of the game but there are only 4 major arkfalls and 3 of those are boring hellbugs.
I played a day and went back to Planetside 2. Isnt this F2P? I logged on today and noticed not many people on. They need a ton of stuff. Hell the game Champions Online by Cryptic has to be over 5 years old and not for everyone they seem to keep going strong and are constantly keeping people interested, its population is proof of that. This game reminds me of a weak Fallen Earth. Personally would rather play Tabula Rasa and look where they are. I hope they get it together before it fizzles out. They better look forward to a lot of overtime and teamwork.
(directed at no one in particular, just in general)
I plan to stay.
I'll treat Defiance like I do any game, MMO or not. When I get it I play it like crazy, then play it less as I play other new games I bought, but come back to it once they add new content/dlc or just get in the mood for it.
What mainly bothers me about this game is it seems many people are either new to MMOs or expected WoW with guns, and now they are complaining and bashing this game. I expect many reviewers (I haven't looked any up) will also score the game low because of the bugs and without waiting for new content. Most gamers treat review scores as if they are hard facts nowadays, and the people complaining will tell everyone they can how screwed the game is thus possibly ruining it for those that enjoy it.
I know, you all payed about $60 dollars you could have spent on another boring Assassin's Creed sequel, so you feel cheated this game wasn't as big as your typical decade old MMO. Really though, as said, this game has no subscription fee, and the main story content took you about 3 days or so to complete. That's about the same time it typically takes to beat most modern single player games anyway and I don't think many people are crying like this about Bioshock: Infinite. Had enough now? Put the game up, keep it installed and wait for new content to see if it's worth it. If you just plain don't like the game's genre because you expected something else, then I don't know what to tell you other than sorry it wasn't what you wanted.
I however am telling anyone who will listen this is a fun game with plenty of potential. I think they need to work on their chat and grouping, but that's about it.
Also like to point out I don't think anyone is a "Defiance fanboy" because that doesn't make sense. Someone might be a fan of Trion (I never played in of their other games), but that's about it. I don't know if I'll like the show, there have never been other Defiance games, I have no "dog in the fight" as another said. I just like the game and I've played with others who also enjoy it (you have to do some work to be social, but it's possible).
minecraft with 4000 per server maybe. Eve is fun, played for years, was in Test (might still be) but computer died and honestly I just never feel like playing anymore.
