Defiance: Patch 1.020 Discussion

[Epyon]

At least the BMG users have to face you and hang around for the kill.
They can't unload the clip and run away and still get a kill and an assist or two.

True but they CAN heal themselves endlessly. More so if the have two BMGs equipped with the right perks and weapon bonuses.

I have to admit I'm a tad underwhelmed with the content, but the content doesn't worry me nearly as much as QA's track record with patching. If they can push this through without issues, I'll be content.

So vehicles are essentially useless now...

And they've eliminated the usefulness of Blur EGO power now by nerfing shotguns...

Wow so no vehicle warfare and essentially removing 1 of the 4 EGO powers...

Great choice there guys, great choice,

Guess im going to have to pretend like the past 20 hours I spent on building a Blur+Shotgun character never existed

● New option in Salvage Matrix to reset weapon mastery points.


'Nuff said.

And they've eliminated the usefulness of Blur EGO power now by nerfing shotguns...

When the new blades get added back, Blur will be good again, as you can't CHARGE the blade and be invis, but you can CHARGE the blade and be using blur.

All it stops is cloak\shotgun

● Moved an emergency in Marin that was blocking a Time Trial route.

i hope i'm not repeating someone else's words but i wanted to post this before i read al current 16 pages.

tbh this one wasn't the real problem, you could clear it and then do 2 runs before you had trouble with it.

the only time trial that i don't have gold in (and it's partly because i'm not that good at time trials) is Wasteland Circuit in San Francisco.

this mostly because because of the first emergency just after the start of the race but there's also a second one on the track. you can only clear one before the other respawns since the emergencies are a bit harder in SF and even if you clear just the first one (you can jump over the second one most of the time) it's back most of the time when you start your second lap or if it's not it's certainly back by the time you wanted to run the time trial a second time.

Fluor as I have the black challenger I was tempted to jump on that and say its not that hard but .... I think your right

I also tried to clear that emergency and it respawns in seconds, If someone takes the time and effort to rid this, as least give them time to do a run before spawning it back in.

Thats a nice list, main concerns though:
* I wonder if the vehicle durability will affect Shadow Wars?
* Please tell me weapon tuning includes infectors, especially the immunizer.
* Why go after fortitude?
* Why hasnt cloak been adjusted?
* Awesome news on the mods rewards/specials
* Hope the arkfall tuning makes them harder, and like the rewards being geared towards weapons as well.
* Like the detonator nerfs.
* Like the Cooldown on ego recharge trait.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but am I to assume that Siege Mode will not be coming out the day of the patch?

And I know this probably won't be answered as well, but Trion, is there any chance that the DLC is going to launch before the Memorial Day weekend replay of the original episode missions? I'm only asking because I planned on making a new Castathan character the day of the release and I would really like them to have the 2 outfits that are unlocked with them. It almost seems like I'm going to miss out on the opportunity since you've given us no clear indication of when the content will actually be released. I don't want to have to create that character this weekend then pay actual cash just to turn them into a Castathan.

I was expecting an Auction House to be put in as well, but I guess one can only hope...
