Why do you still play defiance?

The clan I belong is very active and extremely friendly

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

Apparently I enjoy doing things for no reason then.

The core gameplay is decent fun, but there's not a lot keeping me playing right now (I'm playing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for the most part). Synergy mod boxes (both basic and reputation) are borked since not all mods are available to be obtained by players. By extension, anyone who spends actual money (bits) on mod boxes are getting ripped off (It's like ME3's MP all over again. That is not a good thing).

Another thing that's irritating is that not only are scope/sight mods (well, only some now) badly bugged, they are really limited right now. We only have actual scopes, and one mod that increases accuracy but maintains the default method aiming (shotgun hipspread mod). There's no red dot or reflex sights, no improved iron sights (I imagine that would be what gives non-shotgun weapons an accuracy increase without messing with the aiming.). Because of the limited scope/sight selection, some weapons are better off not even having anything in the scope slot (mainly full-auto weapons with significant recoil).

The main thing that's been bothering me though has been the lack of a large variety of basic weaponry that's relatively easy to obtain (likely something that would be remedied if a trading post/auction house is implemented). Is a FRC/Frontier SAW that's fire elemental with recoil reduction really too much to ask for? Not me or any of the people I know has encountered one.

I'm not. First day back to the forums in a week-ish. I love the gameplay but I am not one that feels the need to finish every achievement and thus not much for "ME" to do @shrugs@ Been playing Neverwinter for the last week.

[JMadFour]

I too, have been playing Neverwinter, since it launched. great game, thus far.

I'll still be around Defiance though, no question. I enjoy Defiance a lot.

Neverwinter and Defiance will be my two main Gaming sources for the forseeable future.

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

Is there actually a reason to continue playing any MMO past that point except for because you are having fun?

I'm playing Neverwinter, Defiance, and Ragnarok 2 .. just depending on my mood or what my friends feel like playing, if I've done my dailies, etc. Its no reflection on any of the three games. Still having a blast in all three. I'm a casual player.

[Cephious]

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

I'm EGO 1863 and still enjoy running around shooting things, probably because I change my builds and guns a lot. The gameplay feels a LOT different with a sawed-off and Blur than it does with a sniper rifle and Cloak than it does with SAW and Overcharge than it does with pistol and Decoy.

This. The game changes as often as you want it to. Yes, we are ALL aware there are quite a few issues that need to be worked out. Name another game that would allow the following chain of events:
1.) After completing the paradise contract, I picked up a Billet Metallic Challenger at the Shondu Consulate
2.) While I am in the vendor menu, my friend loads on me and purchases a white one for himself.
3.) We cruise around exploring for a while, Dukes of Hazard style
4.) Jump into a PvP Shadow War with each other.
5.) While playing said Shadow War, a electric Monarch shows up near a cap point and both Shadow War participants and regular players attacked the Monarch. My friend and I continued to the next data upload point, without killing the Monarch. A little while later, we both receive credit for attacking the Monarch - and then finish the Shadow War.

I don't know what you are talking about exactly. But I play this game because it is pretty unique and edgy, and at the promise of new content that will make it even better. SciFi has signed a second season. 5 DLCs in the first season. If each DLC pack has at least one PvP map of each game type (TDM and Capture and Hold) I'll be happy and thoroughly entertained.

I'm at EGO 1500 and I occasionally log into the game to do contracts or to explore the game world. Especially the parts with the invisible barriers. Has anybody managed to get into the closed-off area in San Fran yet?

Loaded there by accident when traveling via "Go to Friend". It is flat and boring haha.

[Cortechs]

I play because I enjoy it and have fun! No raids, no uber loot, can go anywhere in the world without "outgrowing" all of the old areas.

I was going to try out Neverwinter, but I've been waiting for 4 days for my email activation, and support ignores emails, apparently. Oh well, more Defiance time.

[RancidPigeon]

By beat you mean reaching Max Ego, finishing all pursuits, upgrading all EGO Skills and Perks, reaching trusted with all factions? Right, because once you've done that it's really silly to keep playing a game that you might enjoy. I mean no one ever continues playing other games such as Call of Duty when they reach max prestige and unlock everything right?! That's just silly to have fun in a game when you've maxed yourself out. I mean come on, who wants to run around with friends and kill things or explore parts of the world you might have missed. I think we should all just go take our games back and with pitchforks and torches in hand ask for a refund because that's obviously becoming the norm FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO ****ING IDEA HOW TO HAVE FUN IN VIDEO GAMES ANYMORE!
