mail & bank

[Jormunrek]

There's already a postal service in Defiance: APS
You just can't use it to mail to other pc's, only npc quest people.

As for a bank the easiest way to add that is just to add another tab (where "buy" "sell" tabs are) on the vending machines. The "buy" "sell" buttons are so large that they could divide the space and easily fit a "bank" tab without it looking out of place. No need to cluster up locations with another box of some sort.

Vehicle carry space is a cool idea but if they are going to dedicate that sort of coding/bugchecking time to something I'd rather it be a real chatbox, PC game standards for graphics adjustability, draw distance increase option, push to talk (or borrow LOTRO's ingame voice comms and can the version they are currently running), PC game standard audio options (so my voice comms are on my headset and my audio is on my speakers, refuse to use current set up but assume this isn't possible since I can't dictate my output in audio options), and so much more.

I get that it's a console game ported to PC, I get the reduced production time to get live before show airs, but this release was nowhere near as smooth as RIFT release and there is nowhere near the dev interaction on the forums that there was with RIFT's release. I really want to purchase the DLC pack now but I just can't until there's something more substantial being communicated about what I view as pretty heavy issues with long term play (for me anyway).

Sorry to derail the topic a bit, back on point: Post boxes already scattered all over the game and vending machines could have a banking tab added to them relatively easy.

Back to your regularly scheduled bickering...

MMO's have many people playing, which Defiance has. Defiance is also online.

As for the mail system I could have used it for a clan mate. He is looking for a specific type of AR and I had one. The problem was meeting up to do a trade when a simple mail could have done the job.

Banks - including a bank at Iron Demon Ranch would work too. This would give the developers another cash shop item(s) to sell.


Now what ever happened to microtransactions.

For me personally, I think a Auction house or vendor system would be appropriate, there seem to be legendaries out there and some folks seem to have more that others, and I see them trying to sell them. While I understand this is not a traditional MMO, but if you are going to be MMO like, a bank or stash would be appropriate, a mail system would be nice, but not critical. Crafting, i suppose the closes thing we have is adding mods to your weapon.

Quite frankly one of the best MMO's I played was Fallen Earth, the crafting system there was fantanstic. This game would I think beneift from the salvage/create recipes that Fallen Earth had to offer. It will be interesting to see if this game moves towards a RPG style.

I must admit there are a lot of good ideas from the feed back thank you all .
There is one other game that i think takes the bull by the horns when it comes to bag space , bank , space ect
and that is Anarchy Online a old game but still one of the best you can put full bags in to bags extend bag space have you very own little shop ect but that is just one game out of loads of good ones .
Lets hope we get a good MMO / RPG ...... SHOOTER BLOODY GOOD BLAST !!! from Defiance
