Why do you still play defiance?

[Codebreaker]

I like the game because it's new and different, I also like the show that comes along with it. I don't play as much as others, because of work. But when I do play I enjoy learning new things in-game as I go along. all fun.

I play Defiance because I'm having too much fun with Hunting Horns in MH3U to switch to a slicing weapon to get the tail carves I need.

Once you beat this game there is NO REASON to keep playing.

Grinding for key codes / items are pointless because from level 1-5000 there is NO DIFFERENCE in weapons / equipment aside from synergy mod slots and even then they are pointless because they are so common.

PVP is pointless its the same 3 maps over and over. PVE is pointless the co-op dungeons NEVER CHANGE. Arkfalls are BORING because there are ONLY 3 MAJOR TYPES.

Clans are IRRELEVANT because of the above. Socialization is NOT IMPLEMENTED unless your standing two feet away from someone.

Why do you play when there is no reason to keep playing?

No need for a swan song. Just leave. Bye.

Because I enjoy cruising around in an open world while joking and laughing with my buddies.

[aeryk117]

The same reason I play any game... I enjoy playing. In this game, I enjoy running around and shooting things.

This - I play because I have fun playing the game

I'm not really. I played for the race contest event that they did only to find that despite the blog entry clearly saying you need gold to get the vehicles, it's still available to everyone whether they do the race or not. I check the forums to see what the "new content" is after the episode airs but other than that I'd rather play Rift since I got storm legion from someone for free and got game time on there now and like 30 bucks worth of amazon gift cards to pay for some game time when I need it as well.

'Beat'? This is an MMO, there is no 'beat the game'.

Grinding for key codes / items are pointless because from level 1-5000 there is NO DIFFERENCE in weapons / equipment aside from synergy mod slots and even then they are pointless because they are so common.

And there shouldn't be any difference in gear from levels 1-5000. I have no interest at all in reliving Warsong Gulch.

PVP is pointless its the same 3 maps over and over. PVE is pointless the co-op dungeons NEVER CHANGE. Arkfalls are BORING because there are ONLY 3 MAJOR TYPES.

Never tried PvP. Heard there was a hacker problem, decided it wasn't worth the headache if it was true. As for the co-op maps, I enjoy them. Yes, that's right, you don't like them, but I do. Accept that.

Clans are IRRELEVANT because of the above. Socialization is NOT IMPLEMENTED unless your standing two feet away from someone.

I agree that this is an issue that needs serious work.

Why do you play when there is no reason to keep playing?

You see no reason to play, and yet, I do. I play because I enjoy it. I don't need fancy orange gear, to gank people at random with no consequence, to scream from the top of the leaderboards my superiority. I'm having fun, and that's what I need, first and foremost.

(PS, that doesn't mean you can slack off, devs. You said DLC was coming, and I'll expect it in due time... *poke*)

[GlavinChris]

Why do you care that others enjoy the game? To me, you're just another bully yelling at everyone who are actually having fun... get over yourself.

I'm still playing because it isnt COD or Halo...

I like the game. Generally, they got most of it right, but whats missing isnt enough to make mne stop playing alltogether. Its almost like the game is at 75%, like it was during the beta.... and in many ways, i still look at it like its a beta.

Maybe thats because I'm still hopeful they'll add worthwhile content to keep it afloat, or my way of justifying staying on it as long as I have, but I definitely see why more and more people are leaving. After you reach Ego 1K, you've pretty much experienced most of what there is to in the game. From that point on, it starts to get repetative.

Things like bugged challenges that keep you from completing entire pursuits, ridiculous prices for the in-game store, constant server downtime (which seem to address few of its core issues), a lack of variety in emergences/arkfalls, broken MP, and a 1/2-assed approach to the weapons system are all killing this. Shame, SO much potential
