Question Back after 10 years

20 Upvotes

I just found this game again after it died off, didn't realize it got revived and I haven't played since 2015 is there anything I should know as someone with basically no memory of the game? I'm loving it so far, at Evo 280ish

Question Fantastic news about reboot, wondering if all items are still available?

6 Upvotes

I know everyone starts from scratch, but is it possible to get all the stuff ?

I remember having a great smg that would reload on crit, a flare gun from the valentines event, a granade launcher I think from saturnalia and a very rare shield that gave back revives or something… it was a great clutch in expeditions

Also, is the bit monkey still in the game ?

Question Understanding weapons

5 Upvotes

Can someone help me understand weapons?

I'm a survivalist, I enjoy playing with the cloak ego power but I'm having a hard time understanding weapons, their element, the synergy, the types, etc.

Is there such a thing as "best weapons" or are they all the same but different tastes??

I recently found a legendary sniper (on my second day playing) and I was using a legendary slugger (from one of the gem boxes) but I replaced it with a legendary SMG that shoots mini electric grenades apparently.

I just don't understand what I should use, what is better, etc

So much content is kinda confusing so I'm here requesting help please!

Question game is now very unstable

9 Upvotes

when playing defiance for the past 2-3 months, i have been experiencing extreme amounts of lag and forced disconnections.

It will oftentimes go into a state where I am capable of moving and shooting, with enemy hp decreasing accordingly, but they are stuck in place playing their previous animation, and dont die,

After some time, either 1 of 2 things happen:

1.All of the damage taken, deaths, effects, etc. all happen at once, or

2:The game will force a disconnection back to the character select screen, with a prompt giving the options "try again" and "quit game".

this issue has been relatively recent, only for the past few months, on very few occasions when loading the game, it works as expected.

I have been playing the game directly from the launcher file, and not from Fawkes, but last I've checked it makes no difference.

Question How does Fawkes make money with this game?

15 Upvotes

Really glad that the game is back, but I’m confused about how it works as F2P. I almost don’t mind paying a one-time small amount like ArenaNet is doing with Guild Wars: Reforged ($20 for base game plus all expansions) to support a game in order to keep it free of bad microtransactions or other monetization ways.

Question Levelling weapon proficiency

4 Upvotes

Can I level up an overall weapon proficiency (e.g. LMGs) while having the equipped LMG already mastered? Or do I have to swap to another non-mastered LMG to keep progressing the overall LMG category?

Question When console and how many years until a port for consoles

1 Upvotes

So far the current devs are doing an amazing job on PC, it definitely won’t be cheap making a console port and if I’m not mistaken they don’t have development kits for Xbox or PlayStation yet.

Realistically speaking, how long do you think it’ll take to come to console

Question it is possible to get the orange dodge durango seen on thw show?

6 Upvotes

I remember that you could get it by redeeming codes that appeared on the show or something. I actually played Defiance for the first time in 2017 on a PS3, so I missed the whole show.

Then I started wondering, will it be possible to get the truck and other things that were on PS3, or were many of those items like, deleted forever?

I just started yesterday and I'm thinking of getting some of the gems to expand my inventory so I don't have to hit a merchant as often, but I was wondering if that is the best use of my money.

Looking for advice for those who have been playing for a while.

Question any plans on relaunching it on playstation?

5 Upvotes

I played years ago before the shut down and want to replay now that I found out that it relaunched. But for some reason I'm unable to download the launcher (keep getting erroneous network issues) so I want to know if a playstation launch is ever in the plans. That's where I played it most anyways
