Patch Notes

[ironhands]

in this day and age, what game is a 'final product' between frequent patching systems across all platforms (steam/xboxlive/ps3 etc) and constant DLC packs... what game Is shipped as final?

with an MMO, never, but for a standalone title, they're usually shipped as a final version

i see they posted the up comming patch notes. And i though they said they had 8 pages of notes, using what word use which is 50 lines per page, this is barely 5 pages worth of actual notes. So ya not 8 pages.

What really worries me though, is there no is no CHAT fixes. it should be the most important thing they fix on PC. an MMO without working chat is basically a dead mmo. Voice chat is so broken that we can't really use that either, so they really need to FIX chat. It's not like it's hard increasing the time stuff stay on screen to like a minute would be like a million time improvement. Ideally they should just give us the ability to have it not fade via an option. Really that doesn't seem hard to me to fix. But at very least as a temporay fix increasing the time the text stay on the screen should really be done.

are you actually serious?

get a f***ing tissue.

You fail to understand how things are fixed and applied to a game, but I'm waiting for the "I'm a software engineer" comments. You do know that the code for Defiance was designed for the console and then everything was ported over to the PC. This means the game code needs to reworking to apply a lot of the things that we want.

Give them time, the game has only been out for 9 days and already people are whining about everything under the sun.

Actually 9 days is hogwash. Those of us in alpha and beta have complained about the chat and a proper push to talk VoIP for a couple months. Its about time those things are fixed. Its no longer beta, we are paying customers. These features should be here already.

There is actually a indirect chat fix. They are fixing so when you turn off voice chat it doesnt automatically turn off the regular chat. Right now it does which kinda ****s over the chat.

90% of the ppl in the clan I am stuck in most likely have ingame voice chat disabled which is the only reason they are not replying.

So yes this is one fix. :-)

Patch notes

● Voice and text chat channels can now be muted independently.
● Text chat now displays for longer and no longer hides when sprinting or boosting.

Now I admit they may not be a complete fix, but it's heading in the right direction

Do they play their own game?
Only sawned off shotguns nerfed? barely anyone uses those on pvp everyone uses autoshotguns and autofraggers... (the one shot sawed off is cheap but almost noone uses them because autofraggers are 10x better, they still one shot with the perk from camo and don't have to reload)
All the other weapon types nerfed while none of them are worth using to begin with?

I use nothing but autofraggers in pvp and pve because the dmg output is 2-3x higher (lmgs on large targets where the bloom doesn't matter) than the other weapons...
The time to kill with the shotguns is 2 x faster than with an smg or assault rifle or infector so it's all I use, I consistently get 12-1 monsterscores with them.

The range on them is hilariously broken as well (easy to outdps an infector at infector's max range) .

The broken shotgun ttk makes the game feel like cod... I'd much rather use other guns but most simply aren't worth using....
Many people use shotguns in BOTH slots now (not even bothering with a long range weapon or explosives) , that is how effective they are.

Yupp, faith in Trion? they can't even make a stable patcher.

PC fixes needed: UI-Graphics options-Field of view.

The "I'm a software engineer" comment is just as bad as "why dont you get a job in that field."

The ironic part about this is the console versions are still far inferior. I have no idea why they wasted their time on them, especially this late in the cycle.

It'll likely come back to bite them hard in the *** because that's a LOT of resources being thrown several directions, a couple of which might not have much return. Then again, I am no marketing guru...
