  "To start an expedition, you’ll need a Hunter Requistion. These are available for Bits and as login rewards. As I mentioned earlier, I found an NPC on the island that gave them out like candy, so I cannot comment on how common they will or how easy they will be to get on live. These “reqs” can also revive you in combat"

   

  3 Hunter requisitions will be given to free players each week,subscribers get 1 HR a day extra,also as stated in the article those can be purchased at the store.

  So you have 3 chances every week to do an expedition,when you fail you must open your wallet if you want play,otherwise you must wait next week without nothing to do because outside Alcatraz the world will be the usual desolation interrupted only by the boring events farm.

  While I have often called out Trions greedy cashshop model in their other games, Defiance isnt that bad.  You sound shocked that as a free player you would be limited with how much content you can consume.

  Desolation? I disagree having recently returned to Defiance after really just playing a short bit at release. I play at some very odd hours even for PST when most are quite asleep. In most games this would be the dead hours to play. I find it quite different. I think on the slowest night of the week at the worst time I still saw folks and arkfalls and sieges still brought people (the short incursions that pop all over have had roving groups of 15-30 madlyt dashing between them). I've seen in non-peak times even though on busier days as many as 50 people in the incursion/siege list at the end (and again this is very late / early PST). I don't seem to be able to ever do a whole reputation daily/weekly conflict site without someone already being there or showing up (usually making what would have been a quick run take much, much longer with the ramped up difficulty). Even co-op maps seem to get people though since they are far from popular one may need to wait 5-10 mins. maybe. I was surprised actually. I even see Shadow Wars pop sometimes 1-3 times plus a play session (2-5 hours).

  The world is dead,you can run around and only see the usual events farmed to death but no new content in the open world will come with Alcatraz,I have played Defiance for two year so now I'm quite bored of the usual events,a lot of simple suggestions to make the open world feel more alive have been posted on forum but Trion after two years only give instanced(and gated with currency) content.
