The UI is fine
I'm still having a blast and I've barely touched the main story. Cruising around aimlessly with my crew and putting raiders 6 ft under is a lot of fun. Maybe that is what some of you are lacking? Other people in your adventures?

I too was vocal in Alpha about lack of content, I even had a small fight with the senior designer about it. And I changed my mind because Defiance is no yet another standard MMO, I understood that later on. So I had to adapt and play differently than the usual "burn it".
Because what makes Defiance different is its apparent lack of progression. It had vetical progression and they got rid of it to go horizontal. By doing so, they got rid of epeen contests, bragging rights, uberness, noobs, phat lewt and all the pletora of standards. Now, only the player skill matters (just see how the comments go from "it's too hard, nerf it !" to "Too easy, it's boring").
We are all equal, the standard Arkhunter, that gets some knowledge over the run, that masters some skills but that certainly doesn't turn in an almighty semi-god that show off at the local tavern.
I'm usually one of the hardcore guys, I want to get hurt and badly. I have no difficulty to play Defiance challenge-wise but still, it's a refreshing game to me. Yes it's frustrating to not having more of the story yet. But I'll give it time (weekly events are very doable, EQ and EQ2 did that pretty well. For example, remember back in the days when half the servers caught a disease we had to find a cure for ? Took us more than a week, with thousands of players working on it.)
I am a little disapointed at the moment, i usually suck at games so i like to try to get some sort of item for my character so people say "OMG UR SO COOL" because i cant do that with my gaming skill lol unless people think being incapacitated is cool.
They're getting better at it, it's also not selling itself as an mmo with lots of dynamic content. It's a different audience too, it's people that want to race their favourite cars around real life and fictional circuits and competing. The side missions are terribly easy and it's not like I can compare myself to anyone else and improve myself.
Nah, I'm pretty sure I 100% support his post. I mean your "or not" was enough to make me reconsider but I reached the same result.Or not

I enjoyed every moment I spent in Defiance until I hit the point where all I had to do was grindy content (reputations and arkfalls). If character progression had some more depth I'd be in game instead of on the forum.
Player skill against what? The PvE? Not even a remote challenge as you see. Against players? The instances have no real history, you will rarely seem the same player twice in your Defiance career and theres nothing to know if you're doing better than you were weeks ago, it's a fruitless endeavour. It actually sounds like they took out the fun parts of gaming in the alpha to make an easier game to develop.Or not

If already a vast majority of the game population says the game is too easy what does that say about your fantastic closed alpha testing? Thanks for nothing.
Waiting for more content is not the same thing as quitting anyway :P I'm guessing few people are actually going to quit. There is just going to be a lot of bellyaching.
For a MMO this game (for me ) falls short there is no way for me to sell mods that im not going to use to others trying in chat would be crazy its not set up for real communication its too small and most ppl ignore it while playing the voice chat in the game i turn off and that in turn affects the text chat in a team why i dont know for a MMO id like to see a better tools for playing with ppl and as far as i can tell trying o play in a team or with other i feel like im almost 2nd class because im a team player not a soloer ... NOW i like this game im not going any where ill buy all the DLC and keep playing but id like to see some changes for team based players like me. EXP... the delta bunker mission kicks you out of your party and you MUST run it solo why ??? it took me a while to clear it solo (maybe im bad at shooters but i felt that mission was trying to get me to quit the game cuz i kept dieing if i had had one more person there that i could cover and they could cover me even have the mission scale for the number of players would be great i like that kinda thing team Vs Pve
strangely despite any issues I have with the game, Im addicted to it
Even dreaming about the d@mn game LOL are there things that need fixing? yes & some things completely changed? name 1 MMO 6 months to a year out that haven't done some major changes to what their launch product was
for some strange reason im addicted to Defiance and never liked shooters before. Have even rage quited a few times via uninstalling....a few hours later re-installed...even deleted a high ego toon then slinked back and created a new toon and running it all again while enjoying it even more this time around
trion has me addicted to Defiance like a crack ***** joensing for a rock
