[List]: How to make this game 10x better.

[Mindset]

- Implement a sort of in-game casino or casino-like zone in which we could bet scrip on various things such as races, surviving waves, maybe even some sort of gambling against other players.
- Allow weapon upgrading. This is a pretty big suggestion, but I think it would be cool to have a 1-10 upgrade system. You could upgrade your weapon with scrip or something in the Ark Matrix, and risk losing it. You would progress the upgrade in a 1>2>3 etc fashion, with chance of failure rising as you went higher. If the upgrade failed, the weapon would be scrapped.
- Option for clans to purchase a base/hub (stratocarrier?) that could be fast traveled to from the quick menu at any time. Could be bought with scrip and contain various vendors [Pic Below]
The rest are simply cosmetic changes and fixes, but these are mechanics that are straight up PSU, not to say that other mmos haven't implemented them, its just that the only other mmo (besides ffxi) should not have the mechanics that made it unique transferred to another game just because it itself is dead.

The only one I could find anything about being in psu was the weapon upgrading system.

Instances are cosmetic? Weapon balance is cosmetic? You took a massive list of suggestions that most people agree with, and then broke it down into three in order to scrutinize them for being similar to something implemented in another MMO.

Please do me a favor and leave.

I don't understand why people assume wow is the first MMO to implement instances. SWG had them and that was out long before wow. I for one am for them. The ones I've played so far are fun and would like more.

people have become very hipster/elitist in some senses.

All I want is loot tables for Coop maps and some raids. Tired of doing simple coop missions, and not getting a drop of gear. I'd like to see the 10 man raids, yet I feel like it'd lag out seeing as it already does in coop missions some times.

[Morolanth]

This is not WoW and it should not be turned in to WoW. You want WoW go play WoW.

[Mindset]

You want a bland TPSMMO that has no social interaction or vertical progression whatsoever along with mindlessly easy combat across the board? You got it here! Don't forget people such as myself in the community who will defend the game to the death from suggestions bearing any remote similarity whatsoever to anything ever implemented in any other successful MMOs, especially WoW, because Defiance is unique! Yeah!

I fixed your quote for you rather than responding.

Alright I can't take it anymore, I read up to about page 12 and I need to help clarify some things, because so many people are missing Vehks point entirely.


Raids, dungeons, instances, bosses etc are NOT what he is opposed to. What he is opposed to, as am I, is making it the best and thus only way to get the highest chance for the best loot items. I am also a player who came to this game to get away from the same old crap, and I am sick an tired of having to group up with strangers to get the best stuff. What it is is not what is bad. What it does is the issue. Therefore, if both one way, raids for example, had the same chances of loot as the other way, regardless of what you like to call "effort", then you have a true option. If one is better than the other, that leaves only one option, unless you're a person who ignores stature, but it slights them as well, and that was Vehks point. It would separate the player base which is something Trion and the creators have expressed their dislike for, and have stated they will not do anything to cause a rift (pun intended).

That said, I enjoy this game because of the freedom to run around or drive rather, and tackle anything that catches my eye. That's what it's about. Furthermore, if you people complaining about lack of content had done ANY research into the game like I did BEFORE I bought it, you would know that it will be added through DLC packs, for which I purchased the upgrade to get the first 5 for free. All in due time kiddies.

So instead of going at each others statements like rabid dogs, why not spend some time to actually comprehend the point of what they're saying, eh?

I agree with about half of the OP's suggestions, chat is terrible, its a lonely game right now except for arkfalls, and I would like to see a bit more customization for outfits, characters, vehicles, and some more mod options. Other than that and a few others its a damn classy game!

Oh one more thing. There have been a lot of suggestions that come straight from WoW and other games, but its not so much "copying" as it is convergent evolution. A good idea is a good idea. First though you have to understand why there isn't such a thing as *example here* in Defiance. Its made a specific way, and if you grasp the reason, then you can consider changes or add-ons. A lot of posters here miss the point of everything entirely lol.

There are some things even I dont like too, like how if I want to change my loadout etc, Im dying for an option to bind a key for it, even just to cycle them would be fine.

yesss....also can u guys please add an option to duel individual players without having to go change your outfit and goto a shadow war. Would love to see a pvp hardcore free roam.... Before we all get sick of just shooting can you guys please add some other gameplay elements. Would love to see a sword or a knife that you can have different moves with and a block option. would make battles much more interesting and it won;t seem so repetitive!

[codemillzespn]

u guys have a chance to make a dent on every gamer and basically take thier loyalty from other games. Move fast and u can set up your company for the long haul. Love the creativity please add these things above in your game

I can't agree, I would MUCH rather there be very little differentiating (other than ego perks) between low and high "level" characters. There is no reason to follow the WoW road that made 99% of content useless once you hit maximum level. That is an old and tired format.
