I don't regret buying it because I have honestly gotten my money's worth out of the game, however, I do not think the game, or even the show, has much of a future. I have a feeling that both will be a distant memory in a month or two.

To the OP: Hell no, I don't regret for one second that I pre-ordered the DDE on steam. Though I have yet to see if I get the proper value for the season pass I bought. Gotten more hours out of it and still having fun, than most games today.
Platform: PC
Character: Blackwolfe (EU)
Rolling with the Red Thugs!
Someone else bought me my copy, but no, I don't see how you could regret buying something with at least a half day worth of content, go to the movies see how much that costs you for an hour and a half of entertainment (plus another hour of talking about it maybe). With this you're paying what? Sixty bucks, no sub fees (yet to see if there will be pressure to buy the DLCs, but I doubt it) for a minimum of 12 hours of basic 'content' (story missions, episode missons (They're still there!) and side missons (or some co-op/PvP)) And using the "Ew the game's bugged, unplayable, I'mma chargeback hue" excuse is barely fair, with the amount they've fixed in the past week alone.
People really need to get their money:Leisure time costs right.
This whole process is becoming very much like Diablo 3 and the real money auction house where most of the community was gated off from fixed exploits allowing those who exploited extreme advantage in the long run.
But in Defiance's case most of us assumed and played emergencies after end game as a main source of farming keys, now that Trion has given us all a taste of "easy" they have stripped it away from us to make Bits and tier 4 lockboxes in the in-game store seem more enticing.
It's a shady practice and it is nearly the same business approach that led me to making the decision to uninstall Diablo 3 from my computer 1 month after launch and I have have not touched that game since.
Trion, quick tip.............pull everyone off of DLC creation and finish the polish on the base game NOW.
So, to the original question "does anyone regret buying it?". The answer is "not yet". If the next patch does not fix : Comander Cronkhite"havent done it once since launch can't get in", the front left tire of my runner, issues with changing weapons and items in my load outs, all manners of chat,PTT VOIP, include viable ways to obtain keys in a fun manner, viable ways of using keys "aka better chances at good loot, viable ways of purchasing specific mods, runner and roller levels need to quit rolling over back to lvl 1, broken emergencies, never ending spawning enemies, glitched side missions" project aegis", double reloads"and or interupted reloads, increase pistol ammo in PVE,phasing issues with other people during missions and or side quests.
If the majority of the above in game issues aren't fixed in the next patch, this game will be uninstalled from my computer, and I will choose not to watch the show. Gaming has been in my life for many of years, it always used to be fun or frustrating, nowadays I can't help but notice I've been feeling let down and or cheated. That ought to tell everyone right there that there is something largely and fundamentally wrong in the gaming idnustry as of late.
I blazed through Tomb Raider in like, 15 hours. Typical game releases these days seem to be content with 20 hours of gameplay or less.
I have gotten my money out of Defiance in hours logged, and I have had a lot of fun playing it. I really hope there are many more hours of play ahead, but if I stopped playing now I can say I enjoyed Defiance as much as any other release and do not regret the price I paid..
Yep, I do. I've had some fun with the story missions, but everything else I do, i feel like im obligated to do because I bought he game. Oh well, not the first and probably not the last time ill buy into hype. The other main thing I bought the game for, item hunting, is very, very lack luster. I really did not expect the over reliance on the lockboxes for weapons.
Definitely a No for me
I've never had so much fun playing with my friends (360 player) on a game before. As I don't have a decent PC, this is the first game I've played of its type, and I know that there will be better PC MMO games out there, this is the only one available to me, and its been a blast! Bought on day 1 and not looked back, convinced quite a few friends to get it too and they love it
I just hope the support for the game is still there in a few months time!
I like the game. It is something to play when the BF is at work. The game is fun with its pew pewing.

I don't regret buying it, but I am glad I did not buy the season pass.
I like the game, the gunplay feels right and I enjoy the sandbox aspect. But the game is lacking polish, the loot system needs an overhaul and there is so much tedium when it comes to inventory management, salvaging and buying stuff that I end up spending a portion of my playing time with increasingly frustrating and un-fun activities. It is almost as if the designers tried hard to annoy the player.
I'll buy the season pass when I see more than promises and intents expressed at marketing events.
I have not regretted it! Loving the game so far!
