Ego rating . Useless ?

[nosworc]

Yeah, OR maybe they can come up with a NEW idea. You know, one that hasn't been used for over a decade.

A saying comes to mind, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Where did i say i didn't like the game? I come on here to have constructive debates with people, i haven't played the game in about a week mainly because there is nothing worth my while doing at the moment. Just because someone says something negative about the game does not mean they don't like it.

You didn't say "I don't like this game". You just make a ton of post bashing it and I've yet to see anything constructive come out of you.

Bashing? Yea ok, i guess your someone who thinks the game is perfect as it is then? Sorry for having a different opinion on the matter..... /sigh

You play or you work?

This sentence is just good to show that you never understand what is a game, you are not meant to work in a game, you're just here to play...

But what I believe is that some ppl are lost in this game, because in other games they just have to spend hours to be good, but they are not good, it's just their stuff that make them better than the noob.

All you want is just a WOW clone, so plz just return in your uber game to work and let us play.

lay off the crack

I come on here to put forward ideas that i think will make this game have a longer life span.

You don't put forward idea you just put old recipes that are all the same in MMO since WOW, why the hell any game have to follow those recipes to be good?
I mean, it's not because it's a blockbuster that it's good, look at Justin Bieber, he solds tons of cd's using old recipes. I don't listen to Bieber, and so I don't want to listen to the same sh*t, I want some new original stuff.

I was wondering why every mmo and games were all the same, why did they sell all the same stuff, now I understand that ppl don't like new things, they like the same old clone stuff.

There are three types of players that come on these forums and join in these arguments. MMO players, shooter players, and players that have experienced the best of both worlds. I am one who has played, experienced, and enjoyed both genres. I understand the very minute progression system, and although it frustrated me to no end in the beginning, I have grown used to it now. The issues are that people find that there is no reason to progress in this game. It has been said time and time again. Not everyone that says that wants to have that "l33t ub3r n3wb pwning gear" or whatever it is that you all want to call it in your counter-arguments. I am currently EGO rating 2802, but why? I have 81 of the season one pursuits done, but why? There is absolutely no reason to progress in this game. At EGO 10 I am as powerful as someone would be at EGO 5000 (minus the perks that I am able to use of course.) The progression in this game is so minute that it is almost nonexistent. People want something to work for. Even in shooters people work for that flashy camo or that awesome callsign or even the attachment that they want on their gun. It is something to work for, so that when you have it you feel like you have achieved something, and other people can see that you have achieved it. Sure most will call them a no life, but they are able to witness that person's achievements. Most players want that sense of recognition. Apparently there are very few people in the Defiance community that appreciate the current state of the game, and in the gaming world it is the larger group that generally wins. Especially if those that made the game want to keep their fanbase and source of income. While I do not want the progression system to be that of WoW or GW, I would like something to work towards. Unlocking one more perk slot every so often does not cut it for me.

One thing is killing this game , one thing that could have been easily corrected .
EGO rating is completely useless in term of equipment/skills.

Seriously , I'm ego 700+ and the weapons/shields are the same since ego 20.
I sometimes find a weapon with a synergy , but they are like 10% melee or 5% reload. Got two legendaries yesterday , one was a grenade launcher with the awesome power of fire rate +10% with a max clip of 1 , the other was a sniper rifle with the same stats as the sniper rifle I got at the beginning + melee +15%.

WOOHOO !!! LEGENDARY !
I'm so glad I grinded my way up to something as satisfying as 80 points of damage.

More : hours and hours of grinding to equip a skill that is barely visible in term of stats on the character and do not improve at all the fun factor of the game (WOOHOO !! 3% ammo regen on critical kill...).

I'm halfway through the campaign and I feel I'm done with the game , the characters do not evolve one bit , and the loot system is the most boring I've ever seen since you only find level 1 weapons.
Pursuits are pointless grinding without any rewards since all you got is more EGO and I'm certainly not pushing this to ego 4000 only to find weapons with melee+ 16%.

This was a fun game , until I realized there was no excitement or surprises usually found in the loot system of that kind of game.

You do not need to 'grind' to Ego rating 750, citizen. You get there by playing the game. There's no grinding until Ego rating 2,000+. Correct your statement immediately.

Hey one thing i learned from WoW was that that stuff adds up.. enchant this ring, that cloak, etc and u have way more power. The perks work the same way. the more and more perks slots u unlock followed by upgrading the perks, and u will def feel more powerful.

For instance i stack fully upgraded ego recharge perks and i feel like cloak is almost always ready. Some downtime but seriously it is way less than when i first unlocked it.

Another good trick is ego rechsrge on full reload and use a weapon with a small mag/clip/etc. Best thing is a rocket launcher with 1 rocket per reload. Combine that with ego recharge on kill and on damage, and you will have that power up all day.

Seriously try the ego recharge on full reload with a one shot per reload rocket launcher and u will be like OH SHTAKO. I messed eith it last night without damaging enemies and was thrilled it worked. combine that with recharge on dmg or kill and ohhhh yeahhhh

This ^, you worded it better than i could. The moment i mention the word progression i get the "Ermagwwd go back to WoW" comments.

Yes, ideas that quite obviously work. We need stuff to do/work towards. If your fine with mindlessly shooting things with nothing to show for it then good for you, nothing wrong with that. I just want more out of this game if it's going to keep me for the long haul.
