@Ghibli

For Xbox now, the servers are down, probably getting fixed to work with this troubled patch. Can still get the patch and the patch to fix the patch, just can't get past the connecting to server screen. Still getting the Service is unavailable message

Just ordered, Ł25 on amazon. I like the general vibe of this thread....a bit rough around the edges, but fun - and with the (probably remote) possibility that it will improve over time. An alternative to the perfectly produced, but just missing something, trend in games. Strangely, I quite like the idea that some nights it just can't be played.

Just watched the premiere of the pilot on SyFy and I'm loving it! Sure, no Game of Thrones quality (not comparable, it's HBO and George R.R. Martin...), and also not Firefly I think, but an awesome SciFi-vibe. I'm excited to see how it progresses and evolves.

Dare I ask if I should try to get the 360 patch now?

I can wait yet, but would like to download it before a night when I can play to not waste loads of time updating it all then.

Edit:I guess they may add more another night after the issues, so there's probably no point just now anyway.

Sparrows seems to be playing, I'm downloading it now so I'll let you know.

Deleted user 16 April 2013 22:27:26

Yeah, patched, small hotfix patch, bosh.

Game seems much the same, obv, as it was mostly behind scenes tweaks and small stuff. Might be a mite smoother, but that might be my imagination.

Text chat changes most welcome - actually usable now... when I remember to plug in my keyboard, that is.

We must get some 360 co-op missions done!

I knew this would happen

They should broadcast it through the launcher or something for people who bought the game.

Yup, just do it on the Defiance site and make people log in. If you don't have Syfy you can't even buy the episodes through itunes or whatnot in the UK.

For the PC the patch allows you to do Hotshot: Dam Defense now (near Muir Processing). Finding the pilgrims though, can be tricky.

Is there a vendor where you can get the dodge from, or is that only a preorder bonus?

You can get more dodges in all sorts of colours. No idea where the vendors are; some are hidden.

@Ghibli
Yes to my surprise there is a lone vender but you will have to defeat few bandits and big guy and buy before they respawn. I will check for the location. ;-)

@Ghibli

Yeah is a shop, can buy the orange version. Muri processing fast travel point, just north west is 2 lakes, goto the northern part of the lake shaped like a boot

the shop is hidden, you have to kill a few 99ers and a bloke leaves one of the houses. He is the shopkeeper. Can buy orange car off him plus some weapons

There is a black version of the car for competing certain pursuits

Also got the pursuit challenges for helping the Pilgrims who are next to that lake as well

The Dark Matter threw an entire division at me what seemed like on a mission.Thankfully there was another player there that wanted to stand still in the middle of it, and die a lot.While I cloaked and sprinted the outer edges taking them down from outside in.An amazing battle,probably did not feel like that to the other player though.

One thing the tv series has made me realise about Defiance is that it's really missing a hub area - somewhere people can meet up and chat and that has proper shops etc. Would be great to have leaderboards showing recent arkfall results, maybe some more minigames (like one-on-one melee fighting on the show) and player storage.

Terrible lag on PS3. Have to play something else instead, which is a bummer. Was looking forward to a session tonight.

If it's any consolation, I'm downloading the patch and updating it. It has taken 20mins or so thus far, but it should be done soon. I was only popping on for an hour.

All that wasted gaming time...

That would all be lovely: and might well appear one day. Who knows?

I hope it does.

@Vortex808

Have heard about people's weapons going missing, sometimes it was happening after a PvP match. Just report it via the bug report feed back section

If anyone needs help with the Island of the Lost co op challenge kill monarch under 2 mins and kill matron under 3 mins I will help them. Managed to do both of these last night, was using a purple grenade launcher that fires off 5 sticky grenades,when each one explodes it sends out 3 smaller grenades. Pure carnage

if I find the right synergy mods it will get +4% crit Mult,+10% damage on next shot after a crit kill. Current stat bonuses are extra damage radius and quicker reload. Plus add on top overcharge and a extra explosive damage perk, now I have to level up the detonators class to make it even more fun to use

@fletch7100 No idea what you are talking about... but I want a weapon like that

Deleted user 18 April 2013 08:27:53

Loving this atm and mmo's are not normally my thing.

Building a blur melee guy tho and I'm starting to become a little disillusioned with him. There just doesn't seem enough ways to up my melee damage unless I'm missing something.

Best weapon I have is an electric pump action! The 99ers don't stand a chance!

@TVoJ

For melee damage, nothing to lose perk base level is 10% extra melee damage when your shields is down, intimidation perk base level deal 25% extra damage to enemies that are knocked back from other attacks( so will shotgun hit knock them back then melee attack should have extra 25% damage, experiment to try out I think ) juggernaut ( less damage for 5 seconds after each melee kill), these perks are near the blur power

Sucker punch perk deal more damage from behind enemies is near cloak power,same for the follow through perk +25% melee damage for 10 seconds after a crit hit kill

Looking at long ranged cloaked sniper skill set, so early version might have

Hunters stance more crit damage when crouched
Longshot higher chance of nano effect over 40m from target
Ambush more crit damage to enemies not in combat
Shadowed strike, more damage whilst cloaked

Some weapons offer a melee bonus, and possibly even some mods.
