There's a good research on that matter already done here. There's also one on shields here.

I do plan to cover more news, but I need the Defiance forums RSS feed to update more often than once a day. I've sent a tweet to Sledge, so will see.

Completed the new image system task, which replaced the hard uploaded copy of images, and opened it up to be more like a comment system, this also allowed me to show multiple images per item.

Also allowed factions to show a contract history.

It's rare I remove items from the list, but the basic user profile system is now live!

You can access your user page by clicking on your username on the header, and then you will see a textbox under your name where you can set some text.

You can also comment on your profile page, and other people can comment on it too.

Cool. This is a really nice site, I have been visiting for a while now but only yesterday I decided to register. I played the alpha and beta of defiance so I thought I may be able to contribute with content on my free time.

I edit this page pretty frequently, so don't feel bad if you missed something.

Sure, I can put up a basic profile page, that is hopefully a simple task, perhaps tomorrow!

11 years ago

Ooops, sorry, I don't know how but I didn't notice that section when I looked over the list of tasks. I guess I need more sleep.

Also, can I suggest a simple user profile page? Like, I just registered on the site and kind of wish there was a place for me to quickly introduce myself and tell other users how to find me in-game. Something simple, space for a short introduction and contact info. Probably best if only other registered users could see this info.

If there is already this feature somewhere, then I really need more sleep. ;)

I agree completely with you, I plan to address this by displaying icons / tooltips on co-op and competitive maps much in the same way I do with the area maps.

You can find the entry above in the section marked Instance Map Tooltips, not sure when I will get around to doing that.

I think it would be best to have all data recorders of one co-op map marked in one single map instead of a map for each recorder.

I used the current maps to find the recorders by leaving the browser open on another monitor while doing the co-op maps. Having a map for each recorder made it clumsy because I would need to alt-tab out of the game to change the map. Also, using one map you could give a number to each recorder, indicating the order you will find them.

Updated the list with my latest tasks.

At the moment my priority is to "finish" the desktop site before I focus on mobile devices, I can say that almost half are from  none computer devices.

I will break down the mobile devices stats later, but things I guess look fine on tablets.

11 years ago

Making a mobile android and iOS app would be absolutely amazing. Being able to check contracts on the fly or pursuits would be great. Also having detailed maps would help tremendously in a phone app

well arkfall codes will be good for any new players joining the game who happen across this site while searching for info as well as the lazy people who didnt copy and paste them in all manually to get there extra bag slots etc :D , also its one more piece of meta info that google will pick up on to direct people here

I've added a page Arkfall Codes, tested the input form, tested the copy button. Do you still think this is useful? surely most players have this now.

11 years ago

Etaew PC-EU - Site Admin

Thanks, I plan to put up a form so people can start entering these. Maybe I'll get around to doing that today.

11 years ago

Also if you want m to help you out with the EGO builder I'd be happy to. 

11 years ago

Just wanted to let you know that I could help you with a list of ark fall codes. I found a couple of sites that had almost 200 of them

This is an awesome site. I check it every day and often. Great work!

LOVE your site and I use it daily thanks for all the hard work

Thanks for the suggestion, guides would be good, but someone would need to create the content.

I have too much on the task list to create the content myself, and I'm not sure if the community would do it.

Tips for Time Trials may be coming though, when I add the individual pages for the Hotshots and Time Trials.

11 years ago

A public guide section might be useful. AKA: How to Snipe in PVP, Tips on Time-Trials

Like this website so far also like the look of your plans good luck with them all

Thank you :)

I just recently started playing defiance and stumbled across your site and wanted to thank you.  It has been the only site really that has any good information to get  me up and running in no time.  I really am not sure priority wise just keep going Im looking forward to all the addition.

Thanks Chris, you are right about Scopes belonging as a subset of Items. If I am not lazy I will draft that table design today.

11 years ago

Agreed with Donna. I can't wait to have a one-stop site when the Arkfall Codes section is added. My tabs need a little cleaning! As far as the Scopes page goes, I eagerly await that section. I haven't seen any other sites with pictures - or even descriptions - of them. Will all known mods be listed in the Items DB? If so, the Scopes DB would probably fit best as a subsection of that.

Thanks for all of the hard work you've been doing!

Thanks for your comment. I'm not convinced about the race sets for the outfits, as most of them will cover the full body and face.

I'm working through the Pursuits list first, getting there, but there is a lot of data entry first. Then I need to do another pass through it to add the extra links and tips. You can see my progress in the linky.

The Vendors DB is simple in comparison, I might start doing some of that straight away.

11 years ago

You should do male, female, and the race variants as well for the outfits. I call those emergencies "mission emergencies" or "area instances".  All the ideas sound great.  The Pursuits probably would be up there and the Vendor DB. But I'd just do mostly the info stuff and mixing a few "cosmetics" like the avatars.  But definitely some great ideas.  Since I'm on PS3 i can't contribute much to the screenshot but I'd love to see you get into the weapons types and such...

Thanks, and yeah that seems like a good idea to highlight that contest, the page I have for it at the moment just lists the things it introduced - http://www.etaew.net/defiance/episode.php?id=3

11 years ago

Could you prioritize/add content about the Most Wanted Contest and make the requirements clear in terms of which Pursuits need to be completed to be "entered" and all that.

Excellent effort btw. Keep it up

Thank you Donna :)

i know this may not help with your prioritizing but personally i think any Defiance gamers are very lucky to have someone like yourself put in so much effort for us.  All you plans look extremely helpful for all ark hunters whether they are just starting the game or have been ark hunting since day one. I have been playing since launch and I use your site everyday for in game assistance (may only be place locations sometimes but it saves me time) and anyone that i know that plays Defiance has been messaged a link to your site too

 

Thank you for all your hard work, I personally truely appreciate it!

 

Hugs Donna
