Time to close down defiance

[Yoshimitsu]

He is jealous. Misery loves company. For whatever reason his Defiance experience is lacking therefore he doesn't want anyone else to enjoy it.

Great idea, I need more inventory too. Time to spend some bits.

This sounds like it

It’s been about 7 years for D13 and during this time it’s been bugs and and numerous suggestions provided by players. What’s been done?

You can suggest all you want. I’ve been here the whole time from 13 to 50. I’ve seen nothing. The same bugs in 13 carried over to 50.

Results are what matter. What are they?

You say I hate the games? No, I’m a fan or I wouldn’t have been around since day 1. If you know this game and it’s problems you have to be a fan to stay. So, obviously I don’t hate the game. Extremely disappointed and frustrated better describes me.

Like many OG players we’re tired of empty promises and a stagnant game. My point is, if they done nothing to 50 what makes you think they’ll fix 13 first? And since its an older platform it just doesn’t make business since to fix first.

Want evidence, if 360 was a priority it wouldn’t have been down two weeks. During that time 50 was up and running.

I don’t care what game is better. But I’m a realist. They don’t have the resources to handle both game versions. So, one version is going to suffer more than another. Guess which one it is? And since both versions are suffering right now it makes it even worse for whose 2nd in line.

So, go ahead and bash me and continue on with all your “13” is better stance. That’s not the issue. I’ve said enough on this and my position is clear.

This is exactly where I currently stand on the subject.

Just responding to the resurgence of the requests to "shutdown Defiance" (which a few players seem to be making):

Alluding to what was said in this old thread: If you don’t like the service or the food and want to leave the restaurant ... then fine, I get that (I can see plenty of reasons).
But don’t ask for the whole restaurant to shut down just because of your own experiences or feelings ... and regardless of the fact that other people are still eating. Please consider all the players (some of whom might be clan-mates or friends or just people on other platforms or regions) who want to continue playing Defiance (either version).

Irrespective of my own opinions on classic Defiance and Defiance 2050, I would never ask them to shutdown the servers. I don’t subscribe to the attitude of: "If I can’t enjoy Defiance then no-one can." If you don’t like something, why ask for it to be taken away from everyone else?

When the XBox 360 and PS3 platforms cease to be, classic Defiance could still remain as a PC only game.
Both versions on Defiance should (theoretically) be cheaper (and more efficient) to run on the new cloud platform, since resources are dynamically allocated. That's one of the key advantages of a cloud platform: the variable costs should scale to the demand, so a game that only has 100 players uses fewer resources (and costs less) than a game that has 5,000 players. This is clearly important when a company such as Gamigo has so many games (they state 30+ MMO's and 500+ casual games ... not sure how many of those are on the Gamigo Cloud Platform).

D13 on Xbox 360 Na/EU should be first atm as we can't play(latency issues since migration). If you have a 360 dust it off and come run some expos with us on 360na lol you won't stay long I promise.

Now it's easy for us daily players to see why these games are dying, (not responding to tickets, lack of communication on the forums, slow content releases, server QOS/stability, ect... )

But just killing d13 off, I don't see it. However if they can't fix the lag on 360 I can see them taking it off 360. If they do that I'd hope a toon/inv migration to another working platform could happen but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Exactly 100%

Just my opinion. They need to shut down D2050, its a downgraded version from D13. Upgrade and focus on D13 instead. If they do shut both games down, at least make D13 playable offline(single player), that's all i ask. I only play D13 though, never gets bored IMO, but we could use some events all the time to keep players busy a bit.

On another note, i guess the OP is right about one thing, the devs/team does not care. 3 pages and not one GM/CM has said anything. My advice, stop giving the company money until they wake up and do something.

Upgrade and focus on a game that for two of the three platforms it's playable on, has one foot in their proverbial graves?

That's about as 4Head as it gets.

[Haze34]

I think you know what i meant. They could just make the original for the next generation, or change 2050 into D13 and proceed from there. Either way, 2050 sucks and the original is a million times better with more players(even though both games are dying)
