Smart glass for maps?

RobertWampler
for xbox how do you guys feel about useing smart glass for maps for the game the way the nrw forza uses maps? it would be breat to be able to usr maps withour going threw the menu and just use my surfacr or phone

Myll_Erik
Interesting idea - Not sure what it would require from our team though. I can jot it down and see though!

Anyone know what they mean? Not sure what smart glass for maps is.

Didn't say every question was a definitive answer, didn't say I expect anything to be added in a month either. These are questions and answers. Some solid, some not.

**EDIT**

PC Graphics Customization being one topic that was a definitive yes it's coming.

Its the general attitude of all the people here being amazed at the 'in depth' talk with the devs when in reality they didnt tell you ****.

New Arkfall types

mr dude 360
also another question i saw in the program and arkfall for them meant going inside a space ship looking for that blue core thingy (forgot name of it i have a bad memory) id like to see more interactions with arkfalls i mean killing crystals and huge boss's are fun but going inside a space ship and looking for salvage and items 'weapons and money (scrip) would be awesome so anyplans ??

Oveur
Yes, we have more arkfalls and new types of arkfalls in the works.

Plans and Events

KingOfHeartsGaming
What is the probability of upping loot drops to make them similar in aspect of the Borderlands games after defeating a big boss ie Major Arkfall Final Boss) where players can pick and choose the loot they want instead of being given 2 random items?

Myll_Erik
We have some upcoming plans and events that you should definitely check out.

Smart glass for maps?

Pretty much it would be linking your tablet/IPad/whatever so that it is constantly showing your in game minimap.

Its the general attitude of all the people here being amazed at the 'in depth' talk with the devs when in reality they didnt tell you ****.

So, why focus so much attention on those? No real need to come in and get crass with people. There were some softball answers and some concrete answers. Take 'em as you will.

Miniguns as regular weapons?

Starkiller91
Is there any chance of the minigun weapon being introduced as regular weapon?

Myll_Erik
Not the version we have now - but we want to add in more weapons.

[Taaltos]

The dreaded auction house question.

rzgamer
Any plans for an ingame auction house type system?

Myll_Erik
This keeps coming up - so maybe, but currently no plans.

Picture this, you're in the development meeting for Defiance, a bunch of you around the table hashing out ideas on what to push for next:

Dev1: We could introduce more pursuits, some people on the forum love pursuits.
Group: Hmmm yeah, not a bad idea, what else we got?
Dev2: We could try creating meaningful content which keeps players hooked in to the game with challenges and decent rewards.
Group: Yeah also good, we should probably start thinking about that.
Dev3: You know, we could create an app that shows you where you are on the map on your tablet instead of pressing m.
Group: OH GOD YES, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, FANTASTIC. TO THE DESIGN STUDIOS!
