so i finally got defiance and am pretty addicted. including mechro and cowboy. its bad. we may need rehab. i just wanted to touch on some things however.
first. its not for everyone. but a good brief summary is think borderlands 2 but far more insane. the level of customization is nutty. i could easily go on and on just on what you can do with guns alone. yes there are bugs and glitches so if you are thinking about getting it but not sure and that stuff is a deal breaker then wait a few weeks. they are however constantly working and listening to the community via their forums, twitter and trouble tickets. once that stuff gets twerked out this game will be, for me, incredible.
second. our lingo. if you ever jump in with us you might hear us refer to randoms as barney because they are purple dots on the map instead of blue. credit to mechro. you might hear the phrase poo boots. there is a grenade that creates some biological havoc and makes big lumps of brown mess on your lower legs. it looks like poo. so, poo boots. you also run slower so its sorta like stepping in shit.
third. there are nice benefits of being in a in game clan. your can get exp, money or loot to name a few bonus' for the entire clan for 24 hours. i plan on getting the funds to do this a few times. most likely weekends. ill let everyone know. others have intentions to do so as well.
fourth. the sheer number of people you can cooperatively play with. we had 6 last night/this morningish absolutely tearing up arkfalls, which are the SOMEWHAT comprable to WoW raids. on a minor level. they are hard to explain. more or less you and whoever else show up and slay enemies either once or 5 total times for up to 30-40 minutes in the 5 total case.
i don't want to get into to much, there is alot to it, im still learning everyday. mechro and cowboy are my go to MMO guys. but if its a game where you are not sure, check some gameplay, read some features, ill talk whatever to however. its honestly, bugs and what not aside, ALOT of fun. as stated, mechro, cowboy and i have serious sleep deprevation. we are turning into vampires. not wussy vampires but badass blood drinking booze drinking metal vampires.
