Defiance Discussion Thread

yeah its fun, feels like it needs a bit more polish tho, almost feels beta-ish, havent really done much but a couple missions and goof around shootin stuff. Not sure how their goin to to the whole TV/game thing. Watch the first ep of it this morning not to bad
 
It is what I'll be doing. Pretty fun so far so might grab it but we'll see. How does the game affect the tv series and vice versa? Think that might make the game a bit more fun. Going to check out the tv series this weekend.

Events in the show would affect the game such as the main character in the show started off in the area where the game is located but is forced to leave for the town of Defiance. Then the Vulge attack in one show and we get Vulge added to the game. Prisoner escapes Defiance in a non Black / White clear cut situation and ends up in the game world as a npc that assists you for missions. There are new episode missions for each week, and if we like them they add them to the game like the special bugs that are found out in the game world.

They are shooting season 2 right now. Here is a legal link to some of the shows. They took down the earlier shows it looks like. Guess a compilation is coming or something.
 
for the 14$ it was worth it. im enjoyin the game alot, already got all the raptor rewards lol
if the deluxe goes on sale again ill have to pick it up
 
Looks like the PC version is down to ten dollars now. On Steam/Amazon/else where.

Anybody else still playing? I installed it this weekend and played a little bit. Seems fun so far.
 
I am, its not bad. Make sure you read up on some of the guides, I ran around a long while without any perks equipped because I misunderstood their functioning.
 
I stopped playing after I beat the game, not too mention the last time I had fired it up I had to delete the game 2 times and let it reinstall to even play on my 360. Will wait and see I bought the Ultimate Edition I think all the DLC is free so maybe I will hook the 360 up again and try it out.
 
someone join my clan!! im the only one in it! lol mostly cuz i havent invited anyone.....
Stark Industries wants YOU!
 
I keep playing this game wishing Destiny would come out sooner.If only Trion had the resources to make this game what it could be.
 
New patch out today and it's actually not bad.It's not a perfect game but these fixes go a long way in restoring some life to a dying game.
 
I've been thinking about logging in and seeing how things are. Been too busy playing Civ 5 and Planetside 2 though.

What's changed recently? What still bothers you about the game?

Do you get weapon skills in arkfalls yet? Much in the way of new content? Does the interface still suck? (Think unable to buy multiple keycodes at once, trying to salvage a lot at once sucking major ass, etc)

I haven't logged in awhile. Those Volge hurt so bad and I got addicted to Warframe. I'm 12 hours into my sabbatical from Warframe. I feel like Lindsey Lohan.

Yes to weapon skills at arkfalls. They added PvP Duels and reduced the requirements to start Shadow Wars, new Volge arkfalls and sieges.Also some kind of single player arena was also added content wise.
Keycodes can be purchased in stacks of 10 now. Vendor specials now can have the synergy mods ( assassin,brutal etc.)The map is MUCH improved.Everything is in little hexes so you can actually click on what you want.Even better a coordinate system,so finding data recorders and the like will be much easier.
The chat system still stinks but they did add zone chat.Biggest problem for me is ZERO storyline outside of a few breadcrumb quests to get to the arena.

This is basically why I stopped playing. There is a wealth of material here but it is under utilized or not even at all. Maybe I need the tv show to fill in stuff but man it is really shallow.
 
Already down to $5?!?!? I bet Trion is hemorrhaging $$$ at this point, should be F2P by years end.
 
Well they consolidated the Defiance and Rift teams so no idea.

I stopped playing sometime ago, but I bought the season pass @ launch so I probably give it another go around and create a Castithan....got to get my money's worth
 
So what ever happened with this consoleport clunker? I see it on sale for $4.99 on Steam, but if anyone's still playing it nobody's talking about it.

I wouldn't nessesarily call it a clunker. I picked it up during the Summer Sale for like...$10? Consider clusterfuck games like BF4 are going for 4 times as much, I'd say it was a pretty good deal. Got about 30 hours out of it until I put it down.

If anyone hasn't tried it, I would definitely give it a shot. $5 is chump change if you get atleast 5 hours of entertainment out of it.

I fire it up and play for 5 hours or so every so often. Been struggling with BF4 right now. This game for $5 is a no brainer if you like Diablo loot, Rift style bosses, and shooters.

I got about 30 hours of it before I grew weary of it. It is fun and the stoey line isn't too bad but I grow tired of soloing in games. Lots of people running around but no socializing.

Pretty much. Other than shooting shit, people will not interact with you whatsoever
 
Semi Necro-Res

Started playing again and after some changes and patches and some good DLC additions, I am totally enjoying Defiance at this point now.

If anyone still plays, lets kick this back up!
 
I have been popping in every now and again now that the new season has started. The updates and 'expansions' have been pretty good.

Unfortunately for Defiance, Firefall is out. The more I play Firefall, the more I feel that this is what Defiance should have played like - minus the battle frames, and jet packs.

Yea, it's a little frustrating how close it comes to being great...
I just can't figure out why it's not as much fun as (buggy, laggy, crashing) Firefall.

I'm the opposite. I find Defiance more engaging then Firefall. Firefall feels so boring, you're practically locked into the weapons and skills of that particular frame and the enemies feel like there is no AI

Once you unlock the advanced varients of a frame you can mix and match weapons and skills for that group (any advanced Jug can use all Jug weapons / skills), so it's really a case of trying each base frame enough to figure out what you like, and then building it up to the advanced versions.

Just like your EGO skill and subskills can really change how your Defiance playstyle will work.

Apparently the 'best' way to do this without spending money is to level one up to 40? Takes forever :(

Yeah, it's definitely not as polished.

I can understand that. In Defiance, you do have a little more freedom to change your play style on a whim. In Firefall, it takes a trip to the battle frame station.

Funny you mention AI, I was just thinking about this the other day; I'm torn. Defiance and Firefall both share similar gameplay and core mechanics as far as mission types go, however it feels a little more rinse/repeat with Defiance. The enemies and their AI in Firefall seem more varied, however I'll have to jump into Defiance to check it out again - I think The enemies in Defiance actually take cover/use tactics better than in Firefall.
 
Anyone still playing this game? I started playing back during beta/release - believe I got to around Ego 800? I just started to play again and I'm having some fun...I see they added a few things - like the Cyber Rig - which I still don't have yet. Maybe I just like shooting things..LoL.
 
Reminds me of The Division. :)

Exactly.

It's actually a pretty good time killer. I just couldn't get into the atmosphere, but the gameplay is pretty solid.

Never watched the show though. It was cancelled, but it's nice to see they're still updating the game.
 
It had it's good points, netcode seemed very solid, I'll have to reinstall and see what's been added!
 
i got close to 1K hours into it (played it alot when i first came out), havent played it in a while tho, might have to fire it up again
