After watching the show, my friends, family, and I want to fight the Volge<sp>, any chance on a big battle in the game, and also, thanks for producing a new addiction for us!Oveur
I would never introduce cool new enemies into a constantly evolving game.
Alliances and Reputation

Will clans be able to form alliances and be able to gain reputation?Myll_Erik
Alliances - likely no - Reputation, let's call that a maybe.
I just wanna know if we'll be able to kick his *** for stealing our crystal. >.>

Since Nolan is the main protagonist in the show and is a prominent character in the game, what sort of design goals did the team have to ensure that the player's character still felt important, especially when surrounded by so many others in-game?
Also, thanks for doing this! It's always awesome to get the chance to break down the barrier between the creators and consumers!Myll_Erik
Nolan's character is important to both worlds so while we he was introduced via the game, and you'll see him in the show - we made sure to also properly introduce key characters to the game. You might even see more cross over from the show to the game.
It's not up to Trion. Dang console wars.

I have a few questions all of which sort of fit together.
1. I'm holding off on getting defiance for any of the current gen consoles because of how soon the next-gen consoles will be coming. If I were to get it for current gen and then for the next-gen, (assuming its released for them) would those of us that purchased it for both systems receive anything special?
2. If I were instead to get the game on PC (as I would prefer to), in the future would there be any way for me to play with my friends on consoles? Say maybe I bought it on console also, would my characters carry over from PC (possibly some kind of syncing between the different server) so that I could then play with my friends?
3. If I were to play with my friends after they have played much longer than I have, will there be ways play with them despite the level gap? Or will I be forced to go on my own and try to catch up to them?Oveur
As already answered by others here (Thanks!) they will always be separate servers due to policy. That might change but it's not up to us so don't count on it.
Next-gen is just more platforms for us to be on so being there is certainly what we'd like to do.
The way our character progression is, focusing on versatility and breadth, instead of levels and classes, the "gap" should be minimal, if any.
We'll be constantly improving usability of the UI, including platform specific, there is a team constantly dedicated to UI. The PC is hurting the most right now.

Quasar didn't follow up, but I'm sure he meant he wanted an onscreen tracker. Or an on map tracker.

Do you plan on a tracking system for goals? I would like to track the progress of episode goals without going into the menu and goals.Myll_Erik
Currently thats the only thing we have planned - are you wanting another menu or a better menu?
Again, they know grouping is a bit borked.

My biggest question about the game is this. I'm in a group & we want to run a co-op instance, so why when we que does it drop us from group & then reforms the group with all of us in different groups? I have a close knit group & we really want to do the content together. Thanks!Myll_Erik
We've already bugged that issue and we're working to fix it - we want you to play with your friends!
Oveur
Yes, all grouping issues are a high priority for us. Even our DLC strategy is driven by the principle that we don't segregate the playerbase. You should always be able to play with your friends, whether you have the DLC or not.
Trollface McGee and Non-Segregation DLC
AloneChief
Got a few questions since there is alot I want to know
1: What kind of new content can we expect in the future for Defiance? Since you released a season pass, what will happen for those that does'nt own the season pass.
2: There have been some complaints that the UI for the PC is a bit weird to get used to IF you don't play with a controller, will we see an updated PC UI?
3: One of your biggest selling points of the game is that it's connected to the TV series, that they will affect eachother. You mention that in the future, dedicated players might turn up in the series but how is these players selected? Is it by accomplishments, fame or other? (I also hope we only get to see people with "serious" names in the series, not a person namned Trollface McGee)
See you during the Q&A!Myll_Erik
1. A lot of it - in all shapes and sizes.
2. UI will be continually updated to give users more of what they want.
3. Keep following Defiance to find out

1. 5 DLCs are planned, they all have a free component and a paid component. Our strategy is to not segregate the playerbase whenever possible. We want you to play together. So a DLC has free components which is essentially content so everyone can play together and the paid components are more unlocking abilities or features combined with items and such. Imagine introducing a new playable species. To be able to play the species you need to buy that ability either through the store or through a DLC. To access the associated content, you don't have to pay anything.
2. Yes you will, constantly.
3. http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20130401 - you'll see it more in the future. Legally, this has to be very accomplishment driven but "fame and other" is never ruled out. Surprise me.
PTT is coming. More Game Modes.
GuardianofDragons
Q1) What are your plans for the future of competitive play.
Q2) Are there any plans to add in new vehicles (Hover Crafts, Boats, Clan Housing units) I know the whole housing aspect doesn't have much to do with the game/show but who doesn't love some where to live
Q3) Will there be any kind of interface changes for the PC users as of right now it seems to fit a console interface more. Also will there be a push to talk function in the near future?
Q4) Will there be a separate area for mods in the near future, considering not all of us have 100 bucks to spend on inventory space
Sorry if these questions have been asked already, did not go through all 300 comments
P.S loving the game
Oveur
1. More game modes, both in the open world (ie shadow wars) and instances/maps. Ranging from pick-up to clan rivalry.
2. Yes, yes and yes, we want all the things. But those are big things and no ETA
3. Yes, constantly improving. Yes, I think push to talk should be there as well.
4: No, not specifically for mods but perhaps with other features.
Myll_Erik
1 - Make it better
2 - Yes
3 - We're working on making the UI better
4- It's been coming up, and we're looking at our options.
As it is a third person game then melee weapons would work very well in Defiance. In first person games it's not so easy and the graphics of the melee attacks , usually look stupid. So bring them on I say.Originally Posted by JerZey CJ
Aha! Eat it melee nay sayers!(In case you can't tell, totally messing around there) Either way, that sounds like at least melee weapons are a possibility(more so than before, with people saying that they pretty much said "No. No melee weapons EVAR!!!".
Good job OP , nice thread.
Cheers,
The Moog.
