Raptr Q&A - Here's some questions and answers from the Defiance team.

Future Social hubs. Comm Devices? Dev run events.

Highbinder
Okay I got three more questions then I am done with questions and I'll just listen, and if they been answered someone please point me to those answers.

1: Will we see any social hub area's for just goofing around in, while I like the open world feel of the bay, I feel like there are no places for my character to go, kick his feet up, and pound back a brew. While there is the crater, you can't go into it, which makes me sad. So any chance for a place to do that in the future.

2: Are we, the pc gamers, going to get the option to control where the voice over stuff comes out. As of right now, my head set is set as my default communications device for my pc, but when I play defiance and people talk in clan or group, it comes out my speakers not my head set. I'd like to be able to fix that.

3: Lastly, will we be seeing any dev run events? I know it's an odd question, but coming up with EQ and the older mmo's I remember gm's and devs poping in from time to time, taking over npcs, and making some interesting once in a life time things happen. While not a high need thing, I just felt with all the tie ins and everything this game has the chance for that kind of stuff to become not just old gamer stories, but something legendary.

and now I shut it as promised.

Moar trucks!

starkiller91
i was both an alpha and beta tester and although i like the challengers my favorite vehicle was the nomad truck, so far since the game launched i have only seen the trucks from the steam preorder, will the other truck colors make a return?

myll_erik
most likely - yes

Windowed issues.

Loptr
Technical type question. I seem to have issues with the windowed version of the game - in effect, I have to alt tab anyway. Minor as it is, it's a 'quality of life' issue for me as I'm supremely lazy. Is that on the list of eventual 'to fix' items?

Myll_Erik
It's on our list - but it's a lower priority fix than others.

3. Yes. We had Grant Bowler playing himself the other day.

Mom said he'd go blind if he did that.

Whisper fixes and sad answer to PROFANITY FILTER question.

Malyki
Will there be a fix for whispers? Will we be able to whisper each other? Will there be an option to turn off Profanity Filter?

ennsta
Yes, will of course get fixed.

Profanity filter, no.

Am I mistaken or did they answer the KingOfHeartsGaming question about letting players pick their reward after an arkfall twice, and give a completely different answer the second time?

http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...l=1#post382650 - We have upcoming plans and events that you should definitely check out (smileyface)

http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...l=1#post382993 - Chances are that it'll stay the same.

[Taaltos]

Yes, they know Voice is...problematic. xD

Sanguinesun
Asking again since both here, forums, twitter, Twitch etc it goes unanswered: When is the game getting Push to Talk?

Myll_Erik
We're actively working on VOIP features as they are some -what problematic.

I'm thinking, not sure. xD Maybe let slip something they didn't wanna let out yet? I'd have to scroll back and see which was answered first when I'm done sorting through this trainwreck thread. xD

So messy.

Bronies and Carebears.

Malyki
Oh New Question. Again for Bronies, Carebears, and Other crime fighters! As the Game develops will there be an opportunity for different community events? Like a Halloween special or something? Something that brings all players together no matter if they PVP or RP.

Myll_Erik
Absolutely!

[Taaltos]

Bikes and Aircraft?

Bigstack1980
Will there be any bikes or aircraft in the game, at a later point?

Myll_Erik
Not currently - but we have some interesting ideas.
