    We want Dlc not boosts! Plus why the game has become boring for the most of us.

    Trion is receiving a lot of negative feedback with the delayed Dlc and the lack of progression.

    The game truthfully just got boring. Don't get me wrong i really like this game and even though the release had a lot of shtako wrong with it i still had a lot of fun. playing with my friends made the game a lot of fun for me. Before release i got a couple of friends to pre order and buy the game and we played for like 2 weeks until they got bored of the game.

    i am not going to say that the game is lacking content (which it does in a way) but the only reason why most of us feel that way is because you can hop on for your first time and just do anything you feel like. It was fun at the most part but it got boring really fast. That is what happens when their is no progression in the game.

    look at a game like Cabal Online. A F2p mmo that has been out for like 6 years maybe more! i played for months straight and it was fun. it receives like 4 expansions a year and the player base is decent. while playing i always felt like i was progressing through the game from the start of level 1-100. i never once got bored.

    I really like the idea of the content that coincides with the show is added to the game but the quests don't need to be taken out. same with the mobs. Episode quests should have a main story line of its own and should not be taken out of the game. having those quests staying in the game adds more replay value towards it.

    Honestly, i believe that Trion is giving Defiance a bad name. From day one i believe that Defiance has a lot of potential, i still believe that. But with the delay of the first Dlc and all the bonus weekends, it is pointless. What is even the point in increasing your ego level if you are ego 3000 and a level 100 can kill a mob in the same amount of time you can?

    I am to the point where I don't even care if the Dlc is laggy, yeah some people may get mad at the lag and i can see why but at least Trion would be making an effort to keep all of us Ark hunters happy by giving us new content.

    Hell i don't even know why they decided to wait till after the show to release the sieges and the afflicted. in no way has the new content of seiges and afflicted been effected nor has it been influenced by the show.

    Who else agree with me on most of this stuff?

    Edit:Just look at Sieges they are laggy as shtako but we are all having fun with them even so. they just need to increase the amount of sieges on the map.

    And I personally like boosts. So wrong, we want boosts AND content. I'm hoping we get a different boost each weekend.. that would rock.

    The same can be said with going back to older areas and one-shotting enemies. As far as the progression goes, I think you're missing the point of the game's "progression". No, you don't necessarily get stronger as you gain EGO levels, but you do gain more options. You gain new skills, and the guns do change up in different ways as you level. It's all about the inches of difference, if it were yards than you'll never visit previous areas and be restricted to one area of the game at all times.

    The map and content is small enough as it is, that I agree with you. It could defiantly use more. But I would take a small world where every area in the game is a viable challenge that I can approach in different ways with "slightly" better stats as I get higher in level, over a huge world in which I move on to the next area and never look back again with no incentive.

    Don't think of the endgame as of an MMO. Think of the endgame like Farcry 3, where you can roam the island and kill pirates that roam about randomly with your new guns and equipment unlocked.

    Im not saying the boosts arent needed. Im just saying they arent worth having right now imo. When the dlc comes out they should have skill exp boosts for a weekend.

    Boosts cost them NOTHING to give us, I in fact doubt they even take much to activate, its literally a switch flip in the code. At least they are giving us something right now. I don't complain about freebies. Its not like they are saying "No DLC for you, here's a boost instead!" or even "DLC is delayed by a week, take a boost while you wait!". As far as any of us know, since they haven't posted a timeline, DLC is right on track .. the boost is just Trion giving one back to the community.

    I stopped reading after the first sentnece. Nothing has been delayed. For that to happen there must be a date to delay.

    As I modded back in the Delta Force days I always wanted to give the community as much content and variety of options to keep them satisfied. I do like Defiance but the lack of content and variety of options are making it hard to want to play it at the moment.

    They already said it was delayed. The DLC was meant to be out much sooner.
    Look at the date the blog was posted.

    Specifically this...

    Here is an example: The first DLC which we delayed to address live issues but is now en route I am calling: ENTER THE CASTITHAN till marketing comes up with a better name. Why Castithan? Why, it’s because you’ll be able to play a Castithan. Nifty. Here’s the tentative list of items:
    So, you two were saying?

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?
