I would currently give it a 7. If the show adds extra excitement then I would have it at a 9. It's a great break from the typical Mage / Warlock MMO's out there and definately provides something different. We'll see how the updates and new content work out!
Currently I am on the fence, so I am giving the game a 6 for the moment. Server down time, game bugs and crashes, boring run in circles shoot shoot shoot Arkfalls, a very linear main plot, and an especially poor user interface and menu system prevent me giving it higher rating.
However, I am leaving the door open to give it an 8 or 9 should future improvements be made.
Week 1 Server Issues were pretty bad.
Week 2 is starting off great. I keep telling my friend it's a fully-fledged MMO. So it's got everything WoW has to offer, minus a crafting system.
No crafting system, no real tutorial means I have to puzzle out the modding system myself (frustrating at the very least) and the spec's like bloom.
Major Arkfalls need much better rewards. Increased difficult/higher # of enemies wouldn't hurt either. Although with either of those the lag gets much worse.
I can't get enough players to try Shadow War either, so that's not cool.
It'll be interesting to look at in a few months when both game and show are in full swing.
At this point I'm surprised to find that the game has pulled me away from Borderlands 2 for the moment. That long-awaited Level Cap Increase arrived the same day Defiance launched, which isn't a coincidence, nor are the new DLC maps for Black Ops 2.
It's funny how multiple companies are vying for player's attention in the wake of this release.
8.5 - Because it's a new style of game for me and it has me thoroughly captivated.
7.0 - For the times the server crashes/downtime and that annoying little queue that says I have a 60 day wait
10 - Because it's not COD BLOPS II
8.5 OVR
2... Feels like a total waste of money at this point. Yet again, I might add. I've played my part of mmos from launch and there are always bound to be quirks and ****, but imo the successfull games either get a handle on it or provide proper support/service and not automated standard ****ty answers. Trion/Defiance has done neither.
I did a review on it. Here http://myxboxlive.com/gaming/Reviews...teractive-mmo/
8.5 out of 10, There's room for improvement the game is stellar as it isOriginally Posted by Bahamut
Clan - Defiant Greed not very active looking for more players to play with I have an eratic work schedule so its hit or miss if I am on GT- cheapinjustice (founder) PM for consideration
i give it a 7.5
a few gripes i have is the servers going down on peak hours.....really?
the weapons aren't all that defferant from one another. you can play with your starting weapons through out the game. the end boss(so far) was a ***** so i had to farm for a good shoty and lmg
I give the game a 7. It's lots of fun but needs an improved Chat system and UI.
I rate the Trion staff 9.9! Those folks are awesome.
I rate the TV show a 0. Can't seem to get it over here in Denmark.
[EDIT] I play on PC, so maybe don't count my vote in this thread?

The game is seriously awesome - but as I've said in a lot of threads today, content wise it is just really lacking and this is a big problem for me at the moment, I just don't really have anything solid to do or look forward to in the game anymore.
So it scores high in most categories but falls short in longevity. And for an MMO, longevity is pretty much the key ingredient.
It's only been a week and already I require DLC which most likely won't be here for months...
This game has so much potential but right now it is falls way beneath what it could actually have been or will become.
7.0/10
