Can the Xbox handle Ark Falls?

[Roeh]

Yeah the only issues Ive had have been the boss ones. Ive had one freeze and one that glitched and the crystal didnt appear per the objective type the froze after. Done about 30 so good odds of it working. Late game beta ones have been more tempermentale with the lag though.

sounds good, maybe its just my xbox >.<

It's your Xbox...

I know it sounds crazy at first, but I have two Xbox 360's one is about a year old and the other is like... 4 years old or something. The older Xbox has some framerate issues when I play Defiance on it, but the newer Xbox runs a lot more smooth. I first played on my Old Xbox and when I tried it on the newer one it felt like I was playing a completely different game.

I guess at the end of the day, they're all computers and they will get slower as they are used more / burnout.

I think I'm going to sell my old one and just buy a brand new one.

I've done many ArkFalls and the ONLY ones i've ha my system freeze on *sometimes* would be the Tower like ones, Don't remember the name, think it's hellion? And that's probably due to so much on screen and there's usually about 20-40 people in the fight.

The xbox can handle the ArkFalls really well. Damn good game.

Play with 15+ people and some of them are using rocket / grenade launchers and you will see it doesn´t work! I´ve had so many laggy arkfalls, i can´t count! And don´t blame the older Xbox cause every other game is working fine for me...laggy games and framerate drops never come from your box, it´s a server problem and problem of the developer!

I've got an old, white 360 and I have had no serious issues with Arkfalls. I've completed two boss Arkfalls and dozens of smaller ones. I really only get a lag issue with the boss Arkfalls and it's not consistent so that may just be my ISP crapping out every now and then.

While there may be some truth to the older xbox logic...it's most certainly not peoples xbox causing lag on major arkfalls. I have a new box with great connection and the game runs really good until arkfalls with 20 or more people. It doesn't crash but it lags quite serious when elemental effects start flying. For the people getting no lag, are you doing arkfalls with lots of other people or not many? I find it hard to believe theres NO lag for so many of you guys when everyone else is getting it pretty frequently.

I was gonna make a topic pretty much exactly like this actually. I almost wish they would put a cap on the number of players per arkfall...or kept vehicles out of the red ring for arkfalls. I think people driving around in circles doesn't help the stability.

I was in a boss Arkfall last night with at least 20 people and I had at most minor lag that did not really affect gameplay. I don't know why...though I do have Xfinity and they sponsor Defiance...conspiracy!?

In the spirit of a beta test, myself and another successfully crashed our own systems. It was only twice, so not a great sample. However, both times were using the same method. We both were using the superman plasma blaster SMG at a major arkfall boss, stood next to each other, and let loose. After about four clips, my system locked up.

I have the black 250GB slim system, whcih is about 1.5 years old.

I've had a full lockup three times, but there was nothing about them that was consistent. My 360 has been known to freeze on any game though so I'm not sure it's related to Defiance specifically.

This issue was brought up last night.

They said the issue of Arkfalls on the 360 is a known BETA issue and is fixed in the final version
