Who can't Log on? What's up Defiance? Where are the servers?

[Generic George]

Nope, I'm getting the "The Defiance service is not available. Please try again later." message. I'm able to play all my other online games, except for Defiance! So it's NOT an MS issue on my end... it's the damn Defiance servers.

The Defiance servers may be having issues communicating with Xbox Live.

I called Microsoft last night and they told me it was my internet. That is pathetic.

So Microsoft is saying that your internet is having issues, not them? Does this go for the hundreds and thousands of other players who are more than likely experiencing this issue as well, possibly millions? Is it just their internet as well? Can somebody explain the logic please?

Read the bottom of the article.

Even if it is true not Microsoft would never admit that it happened. It just makes them look bad.

I heard that it is a 2 day shutdown...

This is how rumors start, if you can't post any evidence or a source of any kind, then please, feel free not to contribute to the topic in question.

No offense but it irks me when people say 'I heard this' 'I heard that' when they can't actually show any proof.

My reasoning exactly. Especially after the Sony incident.

Ive been to that site several times since yesterday. Its referring to "in-game" challenges, and DIRECT connection to the XBOX LIVE service. The problem isnt being posted here that people "cant connect to xbox live". The problem is "The defiance Servers are not available"... which if they werent available how come it allows patch verification prior to our attempt to log in to the game.

If your servers verify/patch us, its XBOX LIVE not allowing us to connect to your servers? Arent we connected when you are verifying/patching/fetching? Its doesnt have a problem doing those things... its doing what its supposed to, and after it confirms/patches/verifies the data it stops us at logging into your server.

How is that Microsoft? Just asking is all. doesnt make sense that the game allows us to connect for the PATCHES, but then says no to logging in.

They don't want a PS3 incident on their hands. hahaha

This ^^^

Anything and everything that has happened behind the scenes up to this point will never be actually confirmed or admitted to by MS or any of their partners. I know first hand all too well unfortunatley.

I paid $60 for a game I can't even play right now. Some people have to work during the week. Get your server going on XBL already

Meh. Right now even Live seems to be having weird problems. Everybody seems to have different issues with trophies, etc.
