Based on your experiences so far...

Maybe DLC when things are fixed.

Bits? No. I won't fall for that again with another company.

[Shadesmith]

umm.. no. Between lagtastic days where you might as well not even bother, the "Exp Bonus Weekend" where you cannot group, the still messed up clan/friends stuff, and todays piece de resistance.. the lack of everything (No map, no menu for Ego skills, no build swaps, no gear, no vehicle, no combat functionality).. not only no, but hell no.

Too bad though, the game IS fun when its working. Maybe I'd feel different if it were on PC and things worked, as Trion did real well with Rift, but on the xbox? For the 3 weeks I've been playing thus far, I'd have to say its a fail, and a complete waste of money.

[Classymadman]

Do you believe Trion deserves your money?

Ive not suffered from anything terrible like others have. Had great response with the 3tickets I submitted the first week of launch, and had no problems after that. They gave me what I was missing and compensated me WELL for the trouble. The biggest problem ive had was the 24 hours after mondays update....was getting disconnected every ten-20 min. However as of 8hours ago, everythings smooth again for myself. I know alot of ppl have had problems, but im on the luckier side.
So yes, trion has done well by me, so they deserve my money. For now. I just spent another 50$ on bits during the sale. Couldnt pass it up, because I know I will use them with the dlc and new stuff coming. Plus 10, 400 bits is much better than the usual 5200 the money usually gets us. I will only be buying bits when they have specials from now on. In submission from my standalone experience, ive put just over 300$ into defiance thus far, and havent had a 2nd thought about it. Money well spent, and if it continues like this for me, im sure theyll get more from me.

However they should not be defended 100% either. There have been major problems. Im just glad I was not affected by them....knock on wood. And I strongly believe consumers should judge the company by thier own experience with the product. Theres definately a whole lot of ppls money they dont deserve.

I would have to say overall with spending $50 on the game the season pass or whatever the DLC pack was called and then being stupid and buying bits only to have the items I buy disappear from my inventory. I'm a lil unsatisfied with the customer service and the patches being released that just make the gameplay worse. As far as the game itself I love it even if it makes me mad as he11 when it the issues take away from my game time. Tried to play today and it was so lagged out the map wouldn't even show up. So I had to hit the chat box to make sure I wasn't the only one and nope everyone was having the same problem.

i could have spent the money on a couple of bottles of jack daniels and forgot a whole weekend

What an interesting way of putting it...lol
I think the game is worth the 60 bucks to me.

The JD is still a tasty thought though

[Cyanetix]

Just tried to sign on before I went to bed to make a trade, and I couldn't even make it into the game. I'm thinking about taking a break for a few weeks at this point. Hopefully Trion can rehire all the people they just fired, because in the process of saving money, they're soon to be losing it.

[KillerBee21]

is any game really worth the money you spend on it.
its just escapism a small time out of reality
i could have spent the money on a couple of bottles of jack daniels and forgot a whole weekend.
but i like playing xbox so the game won out in the end

I love this reply it is so very true. Long live games no matter what genre.

Seeing as how the total accumlated time Ive been able to play for the past couple of days can be counted on one hand, I'd say no. I love this game, and I love the show which is why Im going to give this another couple weeks. I'd really prefer not to quit the game but if this is what I can expect from the game in the future, I think I may be spinning my metaphorical wheels sticking around much longer. Couldnt log in most of the day yesterday and now, I go to log in a couple mins ago and once again, "Your connection to the Defiance servers has timed out." I dont have a dynamic IP address so resetting my modem isnt an option unless I want to go in and manually reprogram my IP/DNS/Mask addresses which isnt difficult, but is a little time consuming.
