    It is a product of lag/packet loss and not 100% server related. It can also be a result of your ISP load in your area. The system defaults to a static config in the interests of speed and given a chance to catch up will correct the issue.

    Depending on where you live, how many connections in your house/area/etc and how many people are on line, streaming... I expect you will see a lot more of it with the events in Boston and in Texas I am sure people are wired in for updates which is having an effect on the Internets in general.

    The more people in one area the more info needs to be sent out and the more computing power the processor and vid card need and Xbox just doesn't have the juice to handle it all which is why this is common on Xbox. I think Defiance literally is at the max of what the Xbox can do as far as networking which is why Microsoft demanded region locking and why the Xbox has been the most affected by server outages and crashes. It's just too old, and too under powered.

    It's the default character that loads if character data isn't loaded. One draw back to playing on a game system which is 8 years old.

    This has been happening to me to lately and only at Overpass in San Francisco which is weird. Anywhere else I go I see different outfits. I have done a few Arkfalls over the past couple of days and when they are done, I see everyone with different outfits no clones. LOL.

    It happens to me.. unless I get right in the persons face, then it loads up their real appearance..

    Why have cool outfits if everyone sees you as a latino guy in a north face jacket?

    Yeah it's not a glitch. It's Lag Compensation. I've noticed on rough days where the servers are lagging pretty hard even people in my group will become Random Human No.7. No worries. It's basically putting a low memory usage place holder for other people in the world. Also note the they always have a shotgun in hand.

    Happens at the overpass all the bloody time.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?
