"Hidden" Code list/discussion

[Dihydrogen Monoxide]

Morning everyone. Hopefully Steam will let us download early, but either way is good seeing as it's gonna be between 6 & 7 pm before i can play, son has an eye doctor appointment with a peds specialist and since it's his first visit it's gonna take 2-3 hrs to do, plus a 2 hr drive each way, lol.

Even if Steam doesn't have you tried doing what I mentioned earlier? It did work for me to get the game pre-downloaded, and like I mentioned before you really only need the Trion download for the patch. You can enter your game "CD Keys" from steam to be able to download the game you don't need Steam for more than that.
To get your game CD Keys from Steam you just need to go to Defiance in your library and click it, on the right hand side is a menu with an option to view the game CD Keys.
The CD Keys will then appear in a small window where you can highlight the codes and click "Copy to Clipboard" one at a time to paste them into your Trion account where you enter activation codes.
You can then download the release version of the patcher program directly from Trion, it's only 9.74MB.
Then you can start to run it to create the Patcher.
From there you can either run the patcher installation to begin predownloading the game or you can use the video I linked above to begin setting it up in Steam (but you'll want to make your own shortcut for now.
Since the servers are going live at 12am in your time zone, you should be done long before they go live. This process has already worked for me I'm just waiting for the servers to come up at this point.

Speaking as someone who worked in Gamestop once many years ago...

Why the hell would this game have a midnight release?


No. I'm being serious. MOST games do not have one. They only do a midnight release for specific titles, and I can't recall an MMO that did. I think one of the WoW addons was on the same night as a big console release so they sold it then, but otherwise nothing comes to mind.

No particular reason why it should but some MMOs also have a head-start, Defiance doesn't. So some of us on this thread were hoping that there would be a Midnight Launch so we can start playing when the servers go live (or at least closer to it). Not to mention it makes it easier to keep someone from stealing your handle/nickname.
It was really more of a question out of curiosity and convenience if there would be one.

Fair enough.

I think I was repressing some feelings about the random *****ing I've seen on other threads.

Also any idea if we're gonna get something special for 151 codes?

I missed you guys, so I had to stop by and say "Hi!"

Still the most sane place in the forums... which is scary...

Cool, I'm just glad I could help since Steam seems to be taking their sweet time about it.

LOL! I can understand that...some people, eh?
As for anything special for goign above and beyond? Not that I've heard yet, sorry. If I do I'll be sure to report it here of course.

Since Mew is the 151st pokemon, we're going to get a little guy that follows us around and goes pew pew at the raiders and mutants.

LOL! That would be awesome!
But, even though you are joking, sadly I don't think so
