 Yet when a moderator bans a user for pointing out a troll is a troll...and doesn't ban said actual troll...something is very wrong.

This part I actually have to agree with.

2 cans and string may be better then the chat system. But I definately agree I play on PC and outside voice comms are a necessity unless you want to solo play.

Well I  played a bit in beta. Wanted to leave some stuff unseen. Yes it has some rough spots mainly with chat for me and the UI definately needs help... Hotkey to switch loadouts please. Music I do not care for as I usually have it turned down and my own playing so that is not an issue with me. I also agree if you are looking for massive character customization(hair, faces, etc) then you will not like your choices. Again fine with me. I enjoy the gameplay a lot. Got into a group immediately and into a mumble server with them so we rolled around clearing quests and arkfalls and had a lot of fun. Started a guild up and still pushing through.

Does it have bugs sure all MMOs do and I have been in beta and or release on most of them. I have not had any gamestopping/crashing bugs. Noticed mobs would disappear for a second sometimes and then reappear at arkfalls. Besides that been pretty smooth launch except for some high pings at the very begining.

I am enjoying it so far. Running quests and doing arkfalls. Bout to get in on some of the pvp and shadow wars. Have not tried any of the coop missions but some of us are gonna give them a go today probably.

It is not a deep massive MMORPG like EQ. It is a MMOshooter with rpg elements which is fine with me. As for it being short well can't answer that. I guess it could be if you just burn thru the main story missions as fast as possible. It is also known it will have regular DLC.

Really OP?

 

If I start to think of all the sub-based MMO's I've played I would either laugh or cry. Just off the top of my head:

 

Ultima Online

Everquest

EverQuest 2

WoW

DAoC

Anarchy Online

Asheron's Call

Tera

GW 2

EVE

Age of Conan

Aion

City of Heroes

Darkfall

SWG

SWTOR

Neocron

Planetside

Shadowbane

Warhammer Online

 

...I'm sure there are more over the years. All of these games I playes when they were subscription-based. Somehow I even played them all with a girlfriend (who turned into a wife), full time jobs, schools and eventually kids.

This is about my list except add Rift, GW 1, PS2, Perfect World, Forsaken World, WoT, DDO and LOTRO. And I did not touch SWTOR except beta.

And Souldrainer lol I got to agree about UO on dial up. But it was still a great experience I started it earlier I think it was 97 maybe 98. Been too long.

was it even penned as Sandbox?? i know the Repopulation is but i dont think Defiance is as it is hand in hand with the upcoming tv series, Sandbox would not progress quckly enough to keep up with the tv series.

Yeah I do not remember them promoting it as a sandbox. Maybe the OP can post a link to where they did.

Even though I would love a new sandbox with the elements I enjoy does not look like that will be coming out anytime soon.

Then check out INSTINCT. We are a casual guild looking for more always. We are working on filling our ranks to start raiding. We also have many lower levels still running through content. Our goal is grouping and playing together with no drama. 18 years or older, level 20+ and have vent or be able to download it. Voice communications are key for grouping and raiding.

The chargeback abouse needs to stop. When it does there will be less of these "stories".

 

I'm not judging if the consumer was right or wrong in this case. My comment was more of an overall statement.

The charging for and releasing of unfinished bug filled products needs to stop then the charge backs would not need to happen as the product would work as advertised.

Well I am not going to pay anything until I see some proper reviews. Or will the game be F2P?

The game is B2P with purchasable DLC of unknown type.
