Did you get what you paid for? $60, $100, $150?

I just downloaded defiance 4 days ago, and watched the first three episodes Monday night. Truthfully, I got the game to get my mind off my recently deceased family dog - seemed like the defiance universe was big enough to lose some hours in. Out of those 4 days I've got about 10 hours of game time in comparison to 4-5 hours of waiting. There is a point where, no matter how much I like the show or the game, I start to think about getting my money back. I've been kicked 3 times, twice during arkfalls. It's just... disheartening.

Not to mention, while the gameplay is solid, the menu screens are OK at best.
Modifications could be streamlined:
- by having some type of marker next the name of an item when you're scrolling through the inventory that tells you IF said item could be broken down to resources or IF it could have mod slots added instead of checking each item one at a time (its a tedious timesuck).
- once you select an item in the salvage matrix, if you press 'Back' command (mapped to B on my gamepad), it takes you out of the whole menu screen system and back to the game. You must press the 'Inventory' command or re-select the Item to go back to the inventory. However, if you select one of the options in the salvage matrix (add attachment, breakdown resources, add mod slots) you would use the 'Back' command to back out of that selection. From there, it naturally follows that another press would take you back another, single step in the process - or to the inventory. Not out of the salvage matrix and game menu altogether. There's no need for a separate command that takes you back to the inventory there guys, I'm going through that menu rapidly, and switching buttons is awkward. Just make the 'Back' command take you back to the inventory and another press of 'Back' take you out of the game menu. Gamer's can double, triple tap with the best of them.

Aside from wonky menu's, it just feels... raw. I like the game, but it feels rushed in more than a few ways. Then, on top of that, these server issues. I'm patient, but if I have to wait for you to fix the servers 5 out of the first 7 days I own the game, can you blame me for wanting a refund? I hope it doesn't get to that point - I'm surprised that 3 out of 4 days there have been issues (beyond the scheduled maintenance).

So far, I haven't got what I paid 70$ for (the game and 800 bits) - glad I held off on the season pass. The balls in Trions court... if they get these issues ironed out soon I'd be glad to be along for the DLC ride. Still, t's very possible I'll be demanding my $60 back if there are issues like these over the weekend...

Hell no. Sent multiple messages asking to be comp'd for the boosts that Trion claimed made the Ultimate Edition "a good value" and I was told it would "compromise the leveling system" and that there was nothing they could do. Last I checked, when you pay for something, you get it. Never spending another dime on anything released by Trion. Unless, of course, they man up.

Now, much as I would rate scaring the crap out of the woman with the hellbug I got in my collector's box when she's doing her makeup or in the shower as worth almost the entire $99, she doesn't jump as high as the first time on successive attempts, which calls for value depreciation.

How could that possibly scare anyone? It looks like a child's toy.
Or was this sarcasm and my detector was broke?

[Ogre VonSnipes]

Im not certain i have got my moneys worth yet! i love sniping and sniping is totally broken in this game so i may never get it lol! IS this the most fun game ever? no! does this game have potential? tons! i hope with patience this game becomes a bigger source of enjoyment and look forward to the dlc and show crossover content!

[Rasczak]

Do I feel I got enough play out of my $60? Sure. Will I give Trion another dime for Defiance in the cash shop or for DLCs? No.

I log on occasionally now just to go pewpewpew, but other than that all six of us have moved on. Maybe, one day, if they actually get their game fixed, we'll play regularly again. And yes, yes, yes, I've played MMO for 14 years. I've seen all levels of launch issues. This one has way too many serious bugs that are still lingering a month later.

[Sajin]

I think I've had $150 worth of fun plus the random extras.... Still confused on the season pass but I'm more on the line of "Whatever happens, happens." So eh...it's fun and worth it I just wish it had a bit more SQs or something

i could see some value in placing the little guy in a place that would scare the total **** out of someone

[Arcuatio]

Paid

99.00 DE
39.00 DLC
59.00 standard for g/f

105.00 worth of bits

[V0L4T1LE]

Not in the slightest, I paid $100 for digital deluxe edition of this game after watching 3 episodes of the tv series and some gameplay on youtube. I played for a few minutes before the servers died and have now been waiting for about 4 hours to play it again?

So essentially I paid $100 to create a character get kinda interested then get a giant trollface turkey slapping me and not allowing me to play any more.

I am going to say I did not get my money's worth.

[Stimulant]

Paid $150, and no, I don't feel that I have yet. My scale is that if I had spent that money on drugs, could I have had more enjoyment. So far the answer is yes, but, my Ultimate Edition came with a season pass, so I am hoping the DLCs will be better than ***.
