DEFIANCE GENERAL CHAT THREAD ( While we wait )

For me, I just kept dive rolling when he's doing his crazy jedi shiz in the first stage... when he misses attacks aimed at you he sort of pauses, thats your chance to inflict the pain, make your shots count. When he splits into clones I'd suggest a Burst AR or Pump shotty with a tight grouping (or both, since they appear above on the ledge and at range from you... that is when they aren't all over you in close quarters, during close quarters use the cover to break LOS on all but one of the clones at a time, makes it much easier). The last bit when he goes all super saiyan just try to put objects and distance between you and him to avoid getting hit with his AOE's, and he stops after each attack just like the first stage, the key is to keep moving.

Hrm, it could be I didn't have the timing right on when to turn and smack him. I can't really run and be looking over my shoulder at the same time, and it's total panic 'omg don't knock the poopy out of me' mode when I'm running around. Will try to study the pauses in the battle next time I try it. Thanks!

Well, the weather is horrible there, certainly, but as for New Orleans, you may be exaggerating *just a bit*. It's not as bad as you make it sound. I lived there. i know exactly how it is, and the worst parts mostly got washed away by Katrina, and many of the bad folks migrated to Baton Rouge, which is now worse as far as murder rates are concerned, than New Orleans. There is not a suburb, village, apartment community, or village I would live in Baton Rouge, period. I was born there and made it out just fine, and myself and friends did all kinds of jacked up things after dark. None of us got shot. Well one kid did get shot by his best friend by accident during a hunting trip, but that's unrelated.

first few months of living here my brother was arrested for walking home at 2am. just walking. he left the bar (traceys, if you know it), had made it 1 block (we lived 2 blocks away)... and was arrested, cop claimed he was throwing trashcans through windows at businesses some 5 miles away from where they picked him up.

my brother spent a night in jail, and had to go to court, because a cop had nothing better to do except be too lazy to respond to an actual call (there were actually a group of kids, 5-6 miles away, smashing up local businesses). the cops didn't care. the only arrest made that night, for that call? my brother.

so no, i'm not exaggerating. there is a reason the new orleans cops have been under investigation by the fbi for several years. ya know, having set a kid on fire during katrina because he asked them for help. kid came in after being shot, looking for help, cops said they'd get him to a hospital. drove him out on a bridge, locked him in the car, and set the car on fire. this is not an exaggeration. this really happened. here ya go: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/...shooting_N.htm so, yeah, the new orleans cops really are -that- bad. mind you this is orleans parish, primarily, not the surrounding suburbs.

just wondering, is anyone else just as annoyed by this when they added it on the 3rd day or so of the game being released??

I've been wondering why my camera has been changing without my input.

I hate that little feature, especially when I'm fighting multiple enemies and get snapped around.

Drives me nuts.

Anyone hear anything? Do we have a time frame for this thing to be back up?
