Just bought the game.

Here's a tip: Do the side missions at the same time with the story line. I did all the story line first and then all the side missions, and the side mission got a little monotonous. Doing the side missions with the story line lets you have something to look forward too.

Welcome to Defiance! Take a few minutes/hours to get familiar with the UI in the game, this is probably the hardest part of the game so once you get it figured out the rest is easy. Do not get discourage if you are trying to chat with players and noone bothers to answer back, it might mean you are in the wrong chat channel, or they just didn't see the text.

If you are a completionist try to work on your pursuits (under the Goals tab) and try to get them out of the way early in the game. Once you start grinding for weapons, it will be very tedious.

Your enemies will be holding a WELCOME sign for you, don't worry. Ask me in-game (search for X64) if you need help on defeating/surviving bosses or if you want tips.

Totally agree with this, you stay in the area longer and get more familiar with it. You won't go back too often so its nice to know your surroundings.

Don't pay too much attention to the negative posts on the forums, even mine... Most enjoy the game but all b1tch about it out of small annoyances and hardships

Welcome aboard! And try to remember....shoot the red crystal, not the skitterlings. Go haywire and kill everything on blue crystals.

Just got my game yesterday, really enjoying it so far and Im not even that big into FPS, but I have to say I really like this. This game has alot of Potential.

I would still get a BMG and the best dmg mod for it. i have a x1.15 dmg/sec on mine. they are great for Skitterling and mongrels and those little bitty bots that come out of that big bot with 4 legs and what looks like a scorpions tail.

This game will vanish once Destiny gets released :/

So my hearts been set since I was trying to get into beta, and actually fan of the show too. I have been playing for a little and I think its great. I have read the gripes, groans, and general satisfaction of the game so far. I'm hooked always liked this type of genre, and looking forward to be fighting side by side with you all. If I'm on the opposing side of you I'll be holding the sign: "Don't shoot the noob."

Remember my post.

The honeymoon phase won't last long and you won't be able to ignore the game's faults and short comings because they are too vast.

Until then, enjoy!
