Two sawed-off shotguns with Powered Up on Waterfront is really mean. I went three games in a row without dying.

Still haven't gotten any legendaries

So yeah, grind your way into the show
I think I'm going to pass, as I doubt I'll be able to beat the most prolific salvage grinders.

Got my first legendary on the 360 version(us server) It was a sniper. I would be up for trading it for a legendary assault rifle.
It is a VBI Sniper
It has Radiation (I guess, it is the green one)
Stock and barrel attachments empty...still needs the other two unlocked
Synergy Outlaw (2)+5% dmg from last shot
x1.03 fire rate
10% ego recharge on full clip reload
+8 mag
DMG 1271
Fire rate .07
Mag 13
Reload 2.3
Crit x 3.0
Bloom 5.0
Requires ego 450 and currently is about 20% leveled up.
I am looking for an assault rifle...preferably one with burst fire and around 380 dmg...I would like for it to be under 500 ego so I can use it...but I would look at any assault rifle really.
Anyone looking for a strait up trade let me know...

I mean the score-based competitions can probably be exploited, but at least there's an illusion of having a fair shot.

yep, I'm out. I'm not that masochistic and there is still too much cheating in the PC version.
I got my first legendary last weekend. A FRC Saw. Not a huge fan of the saw weapons actually so I'm open to trade for a legendary sniper or legendary automatic shotgun.

I got my first legendary over the weekend. It's a shield, has some decent stats too. And, yeah, no way I'm grinding into the show. I don't have the time required to do something like that.

It's not actually a time grind, you just need to get the highest salvage/hour rate - so you could log in for an hour and get a massive amount of salvage and then not play for two weeks.
But I think I'd rather just play for two weeks

Ohhhh, that makes it a little better I guess. The cheat level is still too damn high on PC for me to take part. I'd too would rather enjoy the game the next 2 weeks.

I was doing an arkfall last night when a wandering hulker suddenly went rampaging right into the middle of the last phase. It was funny, about half the people were shooting the Hellion and the other half were shooting the hulker.

I've seen that happen as well, and the hulker ended up fighting the monarch
I like how the enemies do that, how they'll end up fighting eachother if you're not in the picture.

Someone on the Defiance forums have been compiled lockbox stats for some time:
Looks like the best shot at orange items is the T4 box.

Gonna have to start saving for T4's. I've bought 5 or 6 T3 and gotten fuckall.

I've gotten 3 legendaries from t3 but Im assuming the drop rate got nerfed in the patch because it made no sense for that to be the best.

I read somewhere that maxing out a specific weapon's XP will mean the weapon group will no longer gain XP. Is this true? Meaning say I max out a particular assault file, that the assault rifle group itself will now be stuck at the amount of XP it had when I maxed that gun out.
HadesGigas

Once a gun's XP is maxed, you just have to switch to a different gun of that type to continue gaining proficiency with that type of gun.
So is group invite glitched?
I was playing solo with randoms and then we grouped up. But I never saw any waypoint or anything, I had to follow my teammates. We played several missions but the main mission icon on my radar never changed. Cutscenes would only play occasionally and sound also crapped out 90% of the time.
But that game is really fun when in a group, too bad there's always some stuff dampening the experience.

It is fun to play in groups, even something like redoing old main Missions .

I'm right there with you.. I basically went through the whole game with just 3-4 different weapons. All those weapon levels I could have been getting...
Winterblink

Same. I'm kind of bummed since I had a couple of weapons that were my go-to ones that was perfect for my needs. Now I'm switching out to other rifles and whatnot that have some property that I can't stand.

Well, my kill count for arkfalls reset. It was progressing naturally and got up to a little over 2000. Now its 155. I didn't go out of my way just to kill everything except the objective, like many do
It was progressing naturally and got up to a little over 2000. Now its 155. I didn't go out of my way just to kill everything except the objective, like many do I finally broke down and got this for PS3. I just couldn't resist it any longer. Now that I have it, its surprising that there's only 2 races and 4 classes, no hub city (nothing like Stormwind, for example) and no race-specific abilities. Plus the character maker was limited to face customization with only 8 haircuts and no ability to change bodytype at all. That's all a bit disappointing.
That said, I'm really having fun playing it. Its pretty much everything else I'd hoped for and I see a lot of potential for growth and expansions. The gunplay feels tight, headshots matter, there's great voice acting, and its all super pretty. Its kind of a wonder that this hasn't caught on more because its pretty good overall.
Looking forward to getting on again tonight. My PSN handle is UnoILLNino, character name Danyella. See you PS3 users in the bay area!

Yeah, the customization is pretty lack-luster, but most people just throw on a helmet and call it a day. You can look unique enough with the right combo of head/body gear, and of course gun - gun models are pretty varied.
RE: Customization - Its not terrible, its just not to the level of Rift, or some other MMO's which really let you go nuts. And I don't want a helmet because my Irathiant woman is gorgeous.

I've been having some serious problems with connectivity over the last few days. It's not just in high traffic areas or arkfalls either - I'll be out somewhere on my own and just freeze up and disconnect back to the title screen. Has anyone else experienced the same this week/since the patch?

Yeah, I had some trouble a few days ago. I know it's on thier end, and they acknowledged the problem.
On a different note, does anyone know a good spot to do a 1080 spin? I can't seem to get more than a 720.

It's strange, I felt the same way for awhile. It reminds me of the old school EQ games, where the game's were low budget and not the best looking, but you wanted to spend time there as much as could..
I'm personally loving it, and hope to see it grow into something special.
There's a fluidity to the gameplay of "jump in your car/atv, go get quest, roll over to the objective and shoot some things, rinse and repeat". You can see how some find it gets repetitive quickly but if you can tolerate it then it's not so bad.
I think it's the fact that they keep the gameplay cycle of this relatively short, as in, you are never doing any one of these steps for long before entering the next stage, so you might drive 500 meters to the objective, now you're shooting things, 2 minutes later you're looking at the rewards and the map to find the next quest.
It helps as well that the game isn't structured like other MMOs where you are constantly driving back to a central hub for your level, picking up a ton of quests and then completing them before you roll back to said hub. Only having a single quest at a time creates a more focused experience in that regard.

The moment I won't forget - the first time I participated I was in a multi-part arkfall and we cleared the first area. Everyone jumped into their vehicles and travelled as a pack to the next area across the landscape. So badass.

The best is when everyone is following someone and that someone doesn't know where he's going and then the entire motorcade flies off a cliff into the ocean.

lol I was actually responsible for something like that. No idea how to get to the next area and I had three people following me and led them all into the water on accident.
I get a good laugh out of that. Sometimes I do it on purpose now. Gun it and blare my horn, but dive out at the last second and watch a dozen vehicles vault over a cliff
The bug this patched introduces was scary as crap. Thankfully they sorted that out. Would have sucked to lose progress on so many pursuits.
