Defiance: new blend of MMO

Man, my bonus weapons I got seem super duper weak. I have a Hydra Heavy weapon that barely does any damage, even on direct hits. The description says it manually separates but cant figure out how to do it. My sniper rifle was best stats wise for like 15 minutes until I completed a quest that gave me a sniper rifle with near double the damage :/

Press reload button when it's over the area you want it to separate. It is still kind of weak and hard to judge where projectiles will land.

Bleh, servers went down right when I was on the last leg of a mission.

Either I really suck, or this game is kind of hard. The enemies can really swarm on you. I find myself doing a lot of retreating and running around escaping the hoards. I think I need a better weapon because I can unload on beasties and they don't drop. What weapon type are you guys finding works best?

I haven't even tried PVP yet, but the one co-op mission I did was decent.

Head shots for humanoids bring down faster. Little hell bugs anywhere. Big hell bugs shoot the glowing thing on their ass end. The flying ones the sides seem to be weaker.

Big hell bugs, shoot into their mouths when open, significant damage boost. Of course, when the mouth is open is when they are trying to bite you or hose you down with gunk, so take that into consideration.

Do we have a guild (or whatever they call it) going yet?

Anyone else running on the 360 ?

So far.. 3 patches and they take the servers down on day one. Seems like a typical MMO launch...

How do you MOD weapons? I have all these mods but no obvious way to attach them. The salvage matrix seems to be the way but nothing works.

matrix is the place, but you have to start with a moddable gun and then have the appropriate mode available. There's like 6-8 gun types. If you have a mod for a gun type you dont plan on using then just sell them.

My first post, guys this is your fault :
First, you've got me interested.
Now, I'm installing the client on PS3, while copypasting some Arkfall codes in my Ark Hunter profile like an Ark madman, 116 more to go.
I even went as far as harassing a french communication agency to get a press dvd (with the 2hrs pilot on it) to see what the fuss is all about.
Gee!!
...
Glad to be a part of GWJ!

Welcome! Want me to add you on PSN?

Hi & Thanks !
Sure, don't hesitate to add me : I'm on a french schedule with a (almost) 3yrs old son, but no prob', I'll be glad to have some company.
By the way, is there a GWJ guild going on or what ?

I started to make one, but got distracted by a purple shiney and bought that instead.

There's not much point in making a GWJ guild in Defiance. There's a very low GWJ population playing, and what we have is split across three platforms. Folks will be a lot better off finding a compatible guild and joining it IMO.

Agreed, though I am Playing on PC if you want to add me to a friends list....... there is a friends list right? My toons name is Akareth Rex

krylle75 is my display name

I'm on PC as well, and my chars name is Caiaphas Cain. You can access the friends list with LCtrl as the default key.

I just started this game also and would love to play with you guys! I am on the PC version also. My Character's name is Magik13.

I'm on the PC. The game is mediocre as a single player shooter, but I think it will be a lot of fun playing with people. Do we have a vent channel? My character name is Thorp.

I think you have to be a few hours in to be able to start a guild, I might get there tonight if someone else hasn't already done it. I'll hop on vent when I start playing too! I did the first coop instance last night and was surprised how much they changed since beta. I get stuck on trying to get the high scores at some of the minigame quests they have too.

rank 25 and 5k credits are the requirements

I only seem to be able to invite 2 of the 5 names I've seen listed. I'm not sure why it can't find the others!

Anyone else on 360... and of those, anyone actually able to play? I can't seem to get past the title screen.

EDIT: Nevermind. After five hours unable to connect it suddenly works literally minutes after I posted.

I am on 360, also having a bit of an issue connecting though.

You also have to be at the appropriate ego level. I think the first time you can actually add a mod is at 100. There are a couple of videos that explain the modding system floating about.

Add me to the PC crew. Display name SpyNavy. Ravenor or Eisenhorn are my character names.

I'm on 360. Last night the servers were having issues early on but the eventually got sorted out.

That's the 2nd 40k reference in someone names in this thread!

Whether looking for friends or if a GWJ guild is started, my Display is Kezir and character name is Allara.

Hope to see you in game!

If you didn't see it, there's a nifty option that lets you instantly teleport to a friend's location. I did it the other night to go to Petriefied, and jumped for a second, as I was put in the middle of a big ass Ark fall

That sounds like a place Petriefied would be hanging around.

I'm in, display name is Aetius and character name is Aetrea.

Turning on "show damage numbers" in the settings really helps. It should be on by default!

So, is anyone in a guild they can recommend?

Ran my first coop map tonight, it was tons of fun. I thought i was with a few way better geared people as they ran around with their flashbangs, lightning and fancy stuffs and I just has a light machine gun. in the end though I was 1 on the charts. more kills by more than double number 2 and the waaaaaaaaaaaaaay highest damage output. It was a nice surprise.

Just picked this up, but I'll be on the Europe servers if there are any.
