Is there a monthly fee to play Defiance?No. Defiance follows the Buy to Play model. You pay once and can play all you want. The only thing that you will have to buy (should you chose to do so) is the DLC.What are bits?Bits are the in-game shop currency.How bad is the in-game shop? Is Defiance Pay to Win?Far from it. Right now the bit shop contains only cosmetic items, HOWEVER bits also allow you to purchase Lockboxes (which can also be bought with in-game currency).What platforms is Defiance available on?PC, Xbox 360, and the Playstation 3.Is there cross platform play?Sadly no. Each platform has their own dedicated servers.This means: There is no cross platform play!Do starting classes matter?No. They simply give you a unique outfit and a specific starting weapon, as well as some unique hairstyle choices that are limited to only that class. That is the ONLY differences between "classes".But I hear that only certain classes can use their own weapon synergies. Is this true?No. It is blatantly false. Trion (STUPIDLY) named some synergies the SAME as the starting classes. I have no idea why this was done as it only seems to confuse people.Let me say this again, in all caps now: ANY ORIGIN (class) CAN USE (and benefit from) ANY WEAPON SYNERGY.How do I buy new gear?Either buy Lockboxes or go to the giant vendor machines around rest areas and buy things there.Where is the auction house?It's not in game.Is there storage in the game? Banks?No. You have to either keep items in your inventory or sell/break them down.Can I trade with other players?Yes. Have them stand next to you and use the context menu to invite them to trade.Is thee a cap (limit) on Scrip or Ark Resources (Salvage)?No there is not. The only "resource" limit is the one on the keys that are used to purchase Lockboxes.The XP bar under my weapon is maxed out. What does that do?It gives your weapon a random new bonus (often a completely useless one) and will STOP giving you experience toward its weapon skill. That means that if you want your character to progress and get stronger you NEED to find a new weapon of the same type (unless your skill is already maxed out that is).SIde note: According to Sekuiya, Trion also patched in a way for you to reset it back to 0 via weapon modification.What is this My EGO promotion people are talking about?You can unlock in game rewards by typing in 120 ARK codes into the My EGO page . IMHO it is well worth it.Are there any promo codes for the game?Yes. Follow this link and log into your account. Then use the following codes:- 6YH6-N26K-W2N6-PKTM-R99J - This PC ONLY code will increase your "Runners" skill by 1.Why isn't my vehicle moving?You got in on the passenger side. Exit and enter the driver's side.How do I unlock the other EGO powers?Work up to it by picking the correct Perks. You need to unlock a Perk adjacent to it to open up the EGO power.How do I increase my HP?Through the Fortitude Perk. Trion also said that you gain a minor HP increase at certain EGO levels, however this was said during beta - after which the HP system changed entirely. So the only 100% sure fire way I know of increasing your HP is the Fortitude Perk.My inventory was full and my quest reward disappeared?No it went into your claim box. Just open that and claim it.How do I claim my pre-order stuff? What about stuff that went into my claim box?Same way. Hit "P" or "F5" Click on "Claim Items".Why can't I sell or salvage item X?You have it equipped in one of your loadouts. Equip something else and now you can.How long is the game?It took me 57 hours to finish everything. This means ALL missions including co-op (think dungeons in WoW), and all Data Recorders. I did a few PvP matches and participated in some Arkfalls during those hours as well. A close friend rushed through the story and all missions in 41 hours, but he didn't even stop by to do a single Arkfall, PvP match, or co-op instance, and missed most Data Recorders.What is the Defiance endgame?PvP, Arkfalls, and Contracts. Honestly it's not much at the moment and I am a bit disappointed. However the PvP and Arkfalls are both exceptionally fun. You can also run all the random events and repeatable missions to try and get gold medals (VERY DIFFICULT, and I still don't have it on most of them).Is any new content coming?YES! Trion said time and time again that they have "dozens of hours worth of content" coming when the show launches and that they can't release it before that happens due to how the game interacts with the show. There is a HUGE patch scheduled to hit on the day the show releases, and another one that will come after the first four episodes air.Trion has a good track record with Rift, so I am going to trust them on this.How do I get an X colored vehicle? Weapon X? Shield X? Grenade X? XX X?Check the "Special" sales all vendor's have. You may find something there. These change on an hourly basis. So keep checking.There are also secret vendors not shown on the map. Check them often as certain items/vehicle colors are ONLY available from them and as a LIMITED time offer.How can i get a Cerberus?That vehicle is available only in PvP and certain missions.What does Bloom mean on a weapon?How fast your crosshair expands (blooms) when you fire it. The lower this is on a weapon, the more accurate it is with continuous firing.What does Trigger Effect mean on a weapon?Chance of the element activating when you shoot. The higher, the better.What does Fallout Dmg mean on a weapon?The range at which your weapon damage decreases. The higher this value is, the better.Why don't you play Defiance through Steam?Steam allowed us to download the game almost a day after it launched, so I went with the Trion launcher. Now it's easier for me to just open that and play instead of going through Steam.Why don't you play your main anymore?There is not much else left for him to do.I made a new character that I plan on raising strictly through PvP and Arkfalls.How can I watch the show for free on Amazon?before the 15'th, you will not only get a $10 discount (making it $49.99), but it also includes a $20 credit toward the purchase of the show Defiance when it becomes available to buy/stream there. This effectively makes the first season "free".
