Trion Worlds Busts Bugs in Defiance, Offers Compensation Package

Posted on Apr 12, 2013

Launch issues are nothing new to MMOG players. From server stability to lag to loot lag, any veteran of at least one launch can chew your ear offer with hilarious or frustrating misfires. Trion Worlds and its open-world MMO shooter Defiance was no different. Not it’s only problem by any means, but perhaps the most glaring was

Defiance is Live! Lore Hound Has You Covered

Posted on Apr 02, 2013

All the beta testing, marketing promotions and ark codes be damned. The day of reckoning is upon us. Today, April 2, marks the day that the media synergy intellectual property of Defiance has truly kicked off. The interactive aspect, that is the open-world shooter from Trion Worlds, is now live and fully playable. If you’re currently waiting

Defiance Adds to Customization With Modular Weapons

Posted on Mar 11, 2013

Customization in video games, RPG or MMOGs in particular, isn’t an unexpected feature. Gamers are used to designing their character, acquiring a variety of flashy loot, and, nowadays, being able to make changes on formerly permanent decisions. Defiance players can expect the expected, donning themselves in a variety of gear, facial selects and the like. But as

It’s clock watching time! I am sitting here, waiting impatiently for the Neverwinter servers to open, letting myself and all the other gamers avidly waiting for a peek at Neverwinter in to play. It was smooth sailing last time, here’s to hoping it’ll remain smooth this weekend as well! I am a bit concerned, given a

LoreHound Crier 1/26/13 – 2/1/13 At A Glance

Many years ago, I had a friend who rarely actually bought anything he wanted. We would go out shopping, and he’d just peer in the shop windows and heave sighs heavy with yearning. At one point, I asked him why he never bought anything. He said he was enjoying the wanting. He said that few

LoreHound Crier: 1-19-13 to 1-25-13 At A Glance

It seems like it’s been a slow week, although I’ve been re-infected with the nasty flu plague that’s going around so that could possibly just be a reflection on how I’m feeling. Being sick isn’t such a bad thing when I can kick back and rest up by playing hours and hours of video games,

MMO Shooter Defiance Now Available for Pre-order

Posted on Jan 22, 2013

April is fast approaching and you should be excited. Not just for the ridiculousness that the video game industry delivers to us at the start of the month, but because science fiction will be returning to the airwaves of Syfy by way of Defiance. The hybrid TV show/MMOG debuts on April 15, to be followed by

Posted on Jan 18, 2013

  Well this has certainly been a headliner week. From gay planets to presidential violence studies, there’s been a lot of video games in the news the past few days. It’s rather depressing how sensationalized the media has become, that facts and information take a seat far, far behind glitz and outrage mongering. It’s weeks

Trions Worlds RTing NDA Breaches When Opinions are Positive

Posted on Jan 18, 2013

Oh phooey. You may view this as petty or just me being a grouch. That’s fine. I just need to vent a titch. A scant few moments ago, I saw a breach of an NDA. It wasn’t a massive preview or smorgasbord of screenshots. Nothing that over the top. Just a simple tweet by a
