Launch Week Challenges - Day 3

For each of these tasks, submit your participatory image or video to our Discord channel. We would also love it if you would add it to our Steam community screenshots :)

The goal would be to share the previous day's best submissions at the end of each new daily post. Day to day, there will be no defined winner, but rather a celebration of our community’s coolest game experiences and creations.

At the end of the week, I will review and select the top performers for each challenge!

Let's start:

___

[h2]BUILDING CHALLENGE:[/h2]
INN FOR MUSES

Make a welcoming wooden structure or tavern.

Where will the wayward bards sleep in the Forgotten Crossroads if YOU, the Defier with much better things to do, don't make them an inn? Somewhere the muses would be honored to share their inspiration ( all in rp, of course :D ).

BONUS POINTS IF YOU GIVE YOUR TAVERN A GREEK MYTH INSPIRED TAVERN NAME.

Post those in the Discord channel #player-builds

___

[h2]GAMEPLAY CHALLENGE:[/h2]
CHAMPIONS OF DEFIANCE AND CHARON'S REJECTS

Give me the HARDEST combat/trick shot/lore walk/game clips of your Defiance adventures OR give me the most pitiful death you’ve ever experienced in game.

Post those in the Discord channel #gameplay

Let's go, Defiers!!

ALCHEMIST'S HOVEL

In wanting to reflect community votes, Day 1’s challenge went with the most popular theme, “Temple to the Olympians.” Wouldn’t you believe it, a bit of a complex and advanced build for our brand new players! So let’s bring things back at bit. Today, build me your best:

Alchemist’s Hovel
A wooden or thatch structure that incorporates wildlife and/or flora


Keeping up your stamina, health, and armor will be an important part of advancing on the isles, so you’ll need to learn Alchemy. You might as well make your place as welcoming and efficient as possible, surrounded by flowers and nature, right?

Please post in the Discord #playerbuilds channel.

ANNOY THE GODS

Pick a Greek God you hate. Now think of what they would despise. Now do that. Send us the video or screenshot. (Kill a bunch of deer, litter on the shoreline, chop down every tree in the forest, literally just cage in the statue of Zeus, etc). Get creative as you want.

All my friends HATE the Greek Gods (except Hephaestus, probably).

Please post in the Discord #gameplay channel.

Thanks to everyone playing with us and sharing their screenshots! Here's a couple people yesterday getting creative with their build locations:




And some beautiful screenshots from one of our Discord defiers!





Looking forward to what you all have to share!
See you again tomorrow

8/15/24 Hotfix

We have pushed a small hotfix to resolve an issue with some players being unable to use crafting benches or utilize the crafting from chest functionality.

Dawn of Defiance is like an ancient Greek Valheim, and it's out now

For all that ancient Greece gave us - gods, heroes, stories, and more - it's a relatively unexplored area in gaming. I can only really think of Titan Quest, God of War, Age of Mythology, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey off the top of my head, but maybe that's about to change with Titan Quest 2 on the horizon and now Dawn of Defiance.

Gameplay with Game Director Tony and Art Director Dwight

Thanks to everyone for joining us on launch day!

To keep the ball rolling, we'll share some gameplay from Community Manager and known amateur Monday, Game Director Tony, and Art Director Dwight as they try to collect tin and return to their base in one piece.

This will likely remain looping for the next few days!
