Defiance is gone. Gamigo has been "not neglecting" the game for over a year, yet there's nothing new except for low effort arkfalls and bitshop items.
I know it might be hard to quit a game you loved for years but you have to understand that it won't get better. Ever. If you like the game in it's current state, then sure, keep playing it. You're enjoying yourself after all. But if you aren't, don't hope for a better future for Defiance. Because it won't come.
Spoiler:
Much like the closed beta bug of unequipping low power items to raise your power level for drops, you can equip your highest weapon in both weapon slots allowing you to artificially raise your power level to receive higher level drops.
I tested it for an hour both ways and when I had the same high power weapon in both slots I received higher drops than if I had weapons equipped the way we are supposed to(different weapons in each slot). This allowed me to only need to enhance 1 weapon, equip it in both slot 1 and 2, play til i got something higher, enhance it, equip it in both slots. Playing legitly I went from 1400 to just over 1600 power since i needed to enhance 2 weapons to properly get higher drops to be worth enhancing 2 new weapons. Playing the bugged way I went from just over 1600 to just over 2200 power. Equipping the same weapon in slot 1 and 2 definitely needs to be fixed
I had a screenshot of having the same weapon equipped in both slot 1 and 2, but can't seem to find it anywhere on my PC.
Later in the beta I think they changed how that worked so your drops were not calculated off your loadout but off the two highest power drops you ever got whether you equiped them or not. But you could also push that by enhancing those weapons (or any others) even higher. Unfortunately you could not see that hidden power rating that affected drops.

Sometimes where I would come up to roadblocks there would be ghosts of vehicles sitting there. They never went away. THIS WAS NOT FROM MY VEHICLE as I approached this roadblock on foot. There were already there and were persistent.

IDK if this was another thing we had to get to EGO 50 for, but I never had any friends options. Could not invite friends, could not view nearby players, etc. Here is a screen shot of my quick menu and my social menu on friends

They are calculated off of the highest items period whether equipped or not. This let you use weapons,shields, and nades of choice and still be able to get high level drops. If your highest items are equipped it ignores your inventory. I was doing this late monday,early tuesday so I doubt anything changed in that time frame.
like in old defiance, enemy damage level is not in center at high res monitor, chat and other text are too small too
