As I mentioned previously, the launch of Defiance has been mostly smooth (less smooth if you play on the XBox).. and Trion has done a very good job communicating the issues with their playerbase.\u00c2\u00a0 There have been daily (or, twice daily) patches to address server side issues, they’ve pushed the release of the first DLC back at least a week to concentrate on bug squashing (They should do like I do, and just run those bugs over with a Roller, while holding down the boost button)…<\/p>\n

There have been some bugs, crashes, etc.. but, a certain amount of that is to be expected with the launch of any MMO.\u00c2\u00a0 Today, Trion has announced their plans to ‘Kiss and make up’ with the Community, as another acknowledgement of the launch issues, and a ‘thank you’ gift for the patience players have had in putting up with the rough spots.<\/p>\n

All current players will receive:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Exclusive Launch-Only In-Game Title: Daredevil<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1-Week Weapons Skill Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1-Week Scrip Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1-Week Loot Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1-Week XP Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next time you log in, you should see your goodies!\u00c2\u00a0 You can read the whole announcement from Trion here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If that’s not enough communication for you, and you’re still wondering “When is Trion going to fix things!!?!?!” Well, they’ve addressed that as well… They’ve provided an early glimpse (i.e. not final, things still subject to change, don’t bet millions of dollars on it) at the patch notes<\/a> for the first big client side patch since launch (should be rolled out next week).<\/p>\n

There are a LOT of bug fixes, balances, tweaks, improvements.. etc.. pretty much everything you could want from the first client side patch for your shiny new MMO… and, since the notes are so long, I’m copy\/pasting them after the jump.<\/p>\n

I don’t see a mention of preventing those 99’er guys from mopping the floor with me… so, maybe that’s the next patch?\u00c2\u00a0 ;)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
