Patch 1.014 Discussion

At least he's giving the most direct answer he possibly can. Blame the esteemed platform gatekeepers.

Because a) Not having gatekeepers has worked out so well thus far for the PC gamers who keep banging that drum, and/or b) Trion said they were still doing internal testing right up until the day before the big PS3 patch was finally released, which puts a strong odor of powshtako around their fanboys' implications that Sony had something to do with the delay.

But hey, thanks for beta testing our patches.

It should be up right now on EU servers, seems like it was a serverside patch only though so there was no need to patch the client itself, which why we never had to download the patch.

It's not up yet on EU. It's due on 3 AM CET on May 9th. That's an issue basing it on California's date. When it's 6PM PT May 8, it's 3 AM CET May 9th.

As our team works towards the next major patch release 1.020 (details coming soon). We are working to provide smaller updates and hot-fix issues that can be addressed server side only.

DEFIANCE Patch 1.014

- Freight Yard is back...again.
- Svushinnira, “the rain of pollution”, grows ever more severe. Horribly mutated Hellbugs dot the Paradise landscape as the Hellbug mating season continues. Nano-effect imbued Hellbugs are now more common and many familiar encounters now carry a new and dangerous change. This includes more Electric and Syphon Monarchs and mutated Hellbugs now appearing at Parraba Ranch, Happy Pow, Bug Basin, Ridgecrest Mine, Big Stone Reach, and Diablo Station.
- Completing Ranks of Echelon now gives you a second outfit to equip in competitive matches.
- Some EGO rating 1900 to 2000 weapons were not getting their rarity bonus’s appropriately. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when hitting Ctrl-Q.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when resetting missions.
- Fixed a crash associated with Dogtown Mine.
- Removed some of the level up spam that happened upon load in.

If your looking into the spawns, then could you lower the spawn rate on some? Those "emergencies" people can find all over the map(roads etc.)

You can find one and when you almost done with one, then a new spawns right on top of you and the spot the other is. It is really a pain in the smaholy.

Thank you, Sledge. We appreciate the update. Looking forward to seeing what is in store with 1.020.

Especially when the one you just finished was hard as all, hardly any ammo left, shields and health are a little beat, and the new spawn has you in the center.

Thats one of the main reasons i equiped "cloak" when i drive around and do them, tho, sometimes i get those dot's on me and it really kills me lol Then just hold E down and res ...
It's fun and at the same time a pain to run into those quick re-spawns.

Thanks for the update.

If patch 1.020 will be huge and functional you'll stand a god Sledge :P

- Completing Ranks of Echelon now gives you a second outfit to equip in competitive matches.

So those outfits aren't for PvE?

Half of them are the same exact outfits you already have unlocked in PvP.

[DustOfDeath]

just gotta hope that this "big" patch isnt anythign liek the last one which didnt touch thecore issues.

And hopefully no more pvp based weapon nerfs anymore... tho thats just a dream.

So, why were all of the changes done in patch 1.014 not disclosed with the rest of the patch notes? This leads me to think that the dev team is trying to hide what changes are being implemented.

For instance, the changes to Mine 99 keycodes and xp, as well as the changes people are seeing on the shotgun +magazine mods (which changed from +x magazine size to x1.05).

These are things that we as players should know about.
