Now Nim... he is harder than anything I've ever faced. He is a REAL challenge that I haven't figured out yet. I figure I need to "level" up some before I go into to his mission again. I went in with an EGO rating of around 244ish the first time. I dunno if it'll help to level up or not, but I won't go back in their until I am comfortable with the weapon I am using and the mods are excellent on it.
I think the only thing you gain being a higher EGO level is you can have more perks unlocked and more of them active at once.
Wouldn't weapons, shields, and grenades also benifit from higher EGO level? Considering many of them have a required EGO level.
Weapons, grenades and shields don't evolve as dramatically in Defiance as they do in other games. An FRC Saw at ego level 10 is pretty much the same as an FRC Saw at ego level 800. Same with grenades.
The most significant differences I see between the colors, Orange > purple > blue > white. But the ego level of each is pretty much irrelevant. Even then though, you only get slight damage increases. The biggest benifit comes from the one or two bonuses the gun might have or the number of mod slots and the associated mods and potential bonuses. Even with all taht shit though, an Orange level 10 gun with 4 synergy mods, associated synergy bonuss plus native bonuses is not greatly better than say a green level 10 gun of the same make/type. It is better but it's not like the difference between a white level 1 gun and a level 50 orange gun of the same type in say borderlands 2.
Wow this game died fast ! No chatter around here, down from 15-20 ppl on my FL playing to 2 ... MMOs are suppose to be this great thing that you play for a million hours, i guess console gamers aren't 'that' kind of gamer. Can't really blame anyone though, i'm starting to get to that point where i'm ready to move on too.

This was the whole reason I bought this at launch instead of waiting a few weeks for the price to drop dramatically, I knew based on the beta that this game would be deserted in a month's time. It's a fun game, but there's nothing to it to keep you playing which is what mmo's are supposed to be all about.

its hot outside, well its slightly warm part of the time.. i'm fishing, boating trying to figure out how to plant gourds taking my kid the park, and the small amount of time i do get to sit down and play a game im mostly playing co-op games with the wife, indie game TankBattles and soon to be Mancala and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara when it comes out. when winter time comes back around ill catch up on the few retail games i have, but im mostly into arcade games nowdays.
Shoot me a FR and then we can get together in-game. This game has sucked me in right away. The graphics aren't the greatest but I'm loving the action and how you can be on the same mission as some one else, roll up and they can help you by killing some baddies. I'm on almost everynight.

I am new to 2old2play and new to Defiance. I play on PC through Steam, does this mean I can't play with Xbox players?
Anyway my gamer tag is Thorror (not sure if that's in-game/gamertag or both), I'm at 237 Ego right now and have a ton of weapons and mods that I don't know what I'm doing with mostly.
If anyone wants to play I'm usually on most evenings after 6 pacific. I've only been playing Defiance for about a week and a half, mostly hunting Arkfalls to build script. I also have the deluxe version so I think I can help boost group XP, Script, upto 5% for a group.
I've never played an MMO but I really liked Borderlands 1 and 2 both of which I played solo.
Unfortunately the Defiance universe is split into 3 different server areas: XBox 360 Players, PS3 Players, and PC Players. Sadly, as of right now, none of those universes can interact with one another. So, if you play on PC you will have to find PC players. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Anyone still playing this? Looking for a time waster and I had the Beta access and goodies for this game, but never picked it up. How are the servers these days? Is it active, or a ghost town?
Thanks for the warning Pyro, but I bought it anyway, lol. It's actually not as empty as i thought it would be. Plenty of randoms in the starting zone and 1st hub area. Went to one of the big arkfalls and you were right, it was a glitchy mess. Went to a smaller one and it wasnt so bad. Not much lag and I actually got a decent number of kills.
Overall Im enjoying the game. And there are a few 2o2p people on my friends list that still play sparingly.
I play sparingly still. It is sitting in a set of 4 or 5 games I rotate out of my XBox during the summer doldrums of gaming releases. I'm waiting for the DLC to come out more than anything right now, but I'd jump in again to help you in anything you need. Be forewarned though, some of the story missions (IE: Boss fights) are solo play only. So, even if I wanted to help you with them, I can't (nor can anyone else). I'll be happy to give you tips to beat the bosses though, if you need them.
If you need help, or are just looking for someone to play with, message me a friend request on XBox Live. I just ask that when you do send a friend request, message me with who you are. I tend to just delete people that randomly try to add me without me knowing who they are first. And my memory is terrible due to an accident I had in the US Air Force.
Used to play this game pretty regularly but got bored with it pretty guickly.Most times it seems like i'm going solo.I would like to get with other 202per's an run around in Defiance.
If you need someone,hit me up with a FR. Gamertag Th3 Bunman
Let me know if you're from 202p though.Can't take chances with timmies.
I'm going to start up again when the dlc finally comes out this month, and they add all the new stuff. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed again, the Defiance team just had another huge layoff, and shut down their headquarters and got moved to the main facility. Even Sledgehammer the main Community Manager on the forums, just left for EA. This game has so much promise, but unless they fix a literal shit ton ASAP, the game will finally finish dying :(
This 1st dlc was supposed to come out months ago, but they just can't get it working. The arena is now only going to be single player, b/c they couldn't even figure out how to get the co-op working for it. It's a damn MMO, and you can't get co-op to work?!?
Wouldn't weapons, shields, and grenades also benifit from higher EGO level? Considering many of them have a required EGO level.
not really. I've been using a gun since ego lvl 30, and now at almost 600, it's still my go to gun in big crowd situations.

I'm still playing
I still play, just not as much. Been tied up with racing, and home improvements.
I still play but with spring here it's been much less in the evening and weekends.
Also wanted wanted to build a Great Works in Simcity before I delete that turd into bit oblivion.

I need help!!!!! Trying to figure out this game is starting to frustrate me.
I had to restart my xbox the other night, and when I got back, you were gone.

That's a bummer, I thought that was sort of the point of cloud games like this, all platforms playing together.
This site looks like it's about 90% console gamers so it seems unlikely that I will find a PC group for this game, maybe another title.
Also, it appears I was misreading the boosts tab as related to group XP and Script boosts. There aren't any for the group.

Prett much a ghost town unless you have someone to play with or go to the lag fest at an arkfall.
