Update 1 - We're granting the anniversary gifts to eligible players now but the process is taking longer than we'd like. Rather than leaving the game locked for several additional hours we're going to come back online now.

However, this means that many players will receive the gifts while they are online and will be unable to select which character receives them. To avoid running into this issue please log into the game on the character you want to receive the extra 30 Inventory slots.


Greetings ark hunters,

We're bringing Defiance offline on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 10 AM PDT (5 PM GMT) for Armistice Hotfix #3.

Downtime should last for approximately 2 hours.

If we need more time, or come back online early, we'll update this post.

Thanks!

Patch Note

• Fixed an issue causing Colony Courtship jackpots to drop
  
• Fixed an issue causing the Apocalypse weapon to occasionally not deal damage (previous fix was not properly applied)
