Well, I completed all of the missions.

1. We did have an issue on my son's account. He created a character and played the intro to the end and jumped over the wall. Game crashed and re-spawned in the crash zone, but the mission was complete. We had to delete the character and try again. It took 3 attempts to complete the intro successfully.

2. Other than that we had the not showing in insider hub.

3. Crashing when trying to login and start the game.

4. Very lagged in some areas. Especially when everyone was getting on and in the same area. You would get to to a marker and have to wait 30s to 1min for the item to spawn so that you could click on it.

I've sent you a PM regarding the fact that I never received a 2050 beta code, or the Purified Gulanite that I won during one of your previous live streams... tried adding Destromathe to the same message, but privacy settings wouldn't allow me to do so.

Yes, I too had the same issue, and had to delete my character and start over with a new character...then I went back and again tried remaking the first Character but again got stuck in the mission just after climbing over the wall with Cass, I was tossed out of the game Again and became stuck inside the walled area when I went back in...so, just ended up deleting the Character again.
I too found places that were Laggy, and a lot of times my Vehicle wouldn't spawn. Over all I love the Improvements to the game and I look forward to the Release this Summer..( Hope for another Beta test before Release...Please!!)

ps4 player
I created usa psn account for the download
but still connected through eu psn account linked from ps3 with no problem

1# tutorial missions 1st character during the kill 70 mutants script event i disconnected and the mission did not reset so triggering of the 70 could not complete , had to delete toon and redo the tutorial missions

1a# no grenade is rewarded or collected while tutorial says press L1 to use grenade

2# game crash twice doing the following from character menu
weapon slot 1 (deto auto lobber) click square to view weapon
then click weapon select in first slot then click triangle to enhance weapon
click add mod ~ game crash to sony report problem prompt - i click send report so hopefully eu psn will be received to trion !

was able to add mods 3rd try with no crash when i did not click view weapon

3# at random times enemy would take 0 damage until i quick switch weapons this glitch occurs in ps3 defiance too

4# graphical glitch during major ark full the electrical aura from concussion blast stayed on loop on the character

If the connection stays as stable as it does in full release 2050 is in for great success

By now.
i believe the US servers are down. beta testing is done.
my overall reaction to Defiance 2050. awesome, it was a great feeling to get boots back on the ground in Defiance again. Great to get back in the action and put down some feral hellbugs and put a brutal mud hole stomping to the dark matter soldiers. i reached lvl25 and didnt know what the cap was. but i had a good bit of script and weapons, including oj's. the only issues i came across were mostly server issues. the only other thing was the darkmatter monolith that kept regen-ing health. hoping that would be fixed in the final release, other then that i cant wait to get my hands on the Medi class. i cant wait to see what tha'ts all about. also a small note, what happened to the the spawners?! that was my favorite trick gun. i was so hoping to get to play with one again. so here's hoping that Defiance 2050 gets released soon!

About the closed beta, the following are some notable takeaways that the Devs and techs really need to pay attention to:
First and foremost, the beta was really good in my view. The graphics were surely updated versus the 360 graphics that I remember. Also, the menu was changed and the character classes were different than what I can recall. The EGO tech tree wasn't as massive as the last one which should appeal to a lot of fellow players as well. I notice many returning Defiance veterans playing the beta along with a huge amount of newer players asking questions about the game and what to do. Even those who state "this might be a stupid question, but......" still got an answer versus being left in the dark. People inviting others into groups and parties which allowed a better experience in the beta.

Now here are the things that need and must be taken into consideration when the game is launched:
Server stability needs to be the biggest topic to address. When the game is launched, the servers will be overloaded and guaranteed to crash if your servers are not up to speed on handling the amount of players that launch the game. This is also to state the in game factor as well. I know I speak for a lot of fellow Defiance players when I say servers crashing mid game sucks and will hurt the overall experience of the game.
Stability within the game needs to be addressed. It wasn't too often that I would be diverted to my Xbox dashboard. I don't know why it happened and I didn't give the command to revert to the dashboard, but this took a little bit of gaming away. Even my viewers (I was streaming the game) were confused as to why the screen went black and then came back on. This was one thing that I noticed

Lastly, this is more of a few questions
1-Will Defiance 2050 be cross platform playable? Meaning will Xbox players be able to play with PC and PS4 players and like such? I had a few viewers ask that same question and am not sure on
2-Will we be able to transfer our old accounts to the new one or will we have no choice to start from the beginning?-Just out of curiosity

[TheStigsCousin]

I can answer your 2 questions --
1- It will not be cross platform playable. Each platform has it's own servers.
2- Because of the changes in the game mechanics, weapons, shields, grenades, etc. characters and items will not transfer to 2050. Some cosmetic items, vehicles and titles will. You will earn Valor points from Defiance to spend in 2050.

PS4 runs pretty stable, aside from a few hickups on friday, saturday, sunday and monday the game runned pretty smoothly.
Don´t know if it´s a coincidence but the last 15 minutes of the beta were somewhat laggy.
But overall, a very positive experience.

To me, the biggest problem is the weapons, they just don´t feel right, not the same feeling of the original game.
ADS, reload times, bullet dispersion, etc, it all feels very off to me.

And yet, people claim the Defiance 2050 beta had the "same server issues".
