I'm sure Brady or Prima made one...didn't they?!? lol AFAIK the contracts are done through co-op instances which are only opened up through playing the SP missions.

The game is really boring when neither shadow wars nor the large map are functioning... they should have left this in beta for another month or two.
I liked Alphas but it got cancelled after it's second season which sucks.
As for this game does it patch every time playong or trying to play on 360 and it's always patching damn!
Click Defiance Store and redeem items.
I was getting pretty bad lag on the PC version a few hours back. It was pretty unplayable, so I just logged.
I have to admit, I only thought I'd be mildly interested in this game, thinking I'd buy it just so I could check out the show interaction - even the beta didn't really grab me much (during earlier phases at least, when things were less polished). But this is some of the most addictive fun I've had in an MMO for a long time, plain and simple.
Contracts (daily and weekly) become available at EGO level 250. They primarily involve non co-op tasks, but as of yesterday, there was one requiring you to complete a co-op mission.
You have to link your console before claiming your items.

Ya I know I have been saying it for the last couple pages but the bolded word above is what matters to me.
I came in 1st in a bunch of Arcfalls tonight and it was super fucking fun. Then switched things up and did nothing but healed and protected others and let them take down the baddies. Also seems like the random events were turned up because we had a good number of them which Really added to the overall feel of things occurring in the world.
I filmed another 3 hours for a tutorial walkthrough...lost it all and turned around and just did it again with no real negative feelings towards it. Its just fun.
I'm just getting into this. Was wondering if there are any race/job differences when making a character. I know there are, but I was specifically wondering what's the best route to go when aiming for "healer/revive" gameplay.
Don't want to realize way down the road that I could have chosen a better char mix.
Also, am I stuck with a ego boost ability area once I picked a starting point? I can only seem to open new abilities branching off from the one I selected first.

The character is pretty much irrelevant. Decoy/Speed might help, but by far the most important aspects are a beam-gun and watching for downed players. It's really easy for a lot of people to ignore downed players in the middle of fighting.
Just go with what looks fun. The game is very forgiving. You can re-spec at any time you just have to pay a modest fee. You can only unlock Ego Perks/Powers adjacent to a previous selection. This makes the Scavenger unlock from Ark HUnter codes even more useful.

Need good clean footage/gif of an Arkfall roll-out like at the beginning of this video.

Got a GAF clan on the EU server, will set one up on the US server unless someone else beats me to it.

Well i beat the main story of the game. I actually like the story. I can't wait for the main show to kick off and start kicking ass in game while following the show.

The fact that their adding free content (confirmed through the dev blog yesterday) is what I'm more interested in. If the show turns out bad, it won't keep from enjoying a bunch of new content.

Most MMOs experience a pretty radical price drop in a couple of months time, and I doubt this game will be an exception.
You're paying for the chance to play the game from the very start, and gear up just in time for the show to start and new content to be added.
True but if the show is ok or even good,it will get more buzz and it might help the game also...

The "star"-marked ones are directly connected with the show, with cameos from the show's main characters.
There's some background universe videos over at the official Defiance youtube channel:

It's been working all weekend, other than about an hour on Friday when it was down for maintenance. Seems the 360's server issues are all but sorted now.

Is there any info on what content gets added when the show starts ?
Is all the show content dlc or?

I'm interested in this game but the running animation ruins it.
Couldn't get on at all last night after the final four game.

I have a question. I've been playing the game and enjoying it, but there are some things I' confused about. I can't level up one of my skills because it says I need more power. Is that tied to leveling up? How do I raise it?

Ego power, you get them by getting achievements (dunno what they are called, but stuff like finishing an arkfall and killing all enemy sub-types associated with that arkfall) and mission completion.
I'm at 196 right now and just need another 5 before I can upgrade my EGO power.
I got a very good assault rifle for finishing the first episode. I'm also using the outfit that it awards.
I believe PC is not region locked, but the others are.

8-10GB?
Cool, just trying to get an idea of how long the download will take. So I didn't see anything in the OP about a specific GAF guild on PC? Did I miss anything or is there not one?

I'll make one for the US PC server and update the OP (it's in the second post).
They are doing a reset
Yeah, went to their forums. Nice that there's absolutely no in-game notifications for these things..
It seems to be all one server on PC. I can play my character regardless of the region chosen.

Do we have any idea how much content will be added for free before you have to start buying DLC? I've already bought it, but I'm a little concerned at the idea of a season pass for a game that's supposed to be more of a Guild Wars 2 "buy to play" model.
Also, it's a little alarming that people seem to be finished with most of the content. It doesn't seem to be just a few people who have played non-stop either.

This was in one of the dev blogs;
http://community.defiance.com/en/20...ts-been-amazing-but-why-do-we-still-have-lag/
What they call DLC I assume are akin to x.1 content patches in say WoW?
Excellent answers, thank you!

Picked this up today on 360 based on the the impressions I've gotten from browsing this thread. Gt is devon the dude if anyone wants to help show me the ropes tonight.
