Extra Life Dealer

everything had syphon on it about 10 hours ago but last time i looked they had fire on em and I am at 4423 ego

Seems like the vendor pops up every 5-6 hours. 5 minutes before the hour and only stays around for 5 minutes.

** My E-300 got a few flame nano's a few minutes ago at the Mt Tam Dealer, and as was stated before, multiple copies of a weapon were charged for, but only 1 of each is in inventory. I bought 2nd copy at same event in the last hour.

** My E-2100 got syphon weapons about 6 hours ago, and multiple copies of the snipe (2) and LMG (2) are in inv as I stated in a previous post. I bought them at 2 successive dealer events, hours apart.

** My E4500 got flame, and I only needed one of each.

The only rifles were B/A Snipes.

I believe the EL dealers ended with the end of the 25 hour marathon, but I have nothing to quote for that. It's just my understanding.

I really hope they pop at least one or two more times but only time will tell on that one.

That's how it looks to me anyway.
That would explain why they don't "get" some of the stuff we say over and over in feedback reports and on the forums and in questions on the twitchcast livestream.
I think they think it's a swell game, just not the kind of game they would spend a lot of their free time playing.
It would explain the obvious unfamiliarity they show during their livestreams as well.

OverloadUT and Morgana very much seem like RPG players at the core. dahanese might be as well, but I thought she made a fine effort of regularly going back to Defiance to play with people there. I didn't really feel left out personally: Rift might have had a bunch of events over the 25 hours, but I think it's easier to organize fun stuff in that game than in Defiance, and we did get a special vendor with cool stuff.

Also, Rift is Trion's most successful game, so of course it's getting more attention. If Defiance had made more money, they would probably have hired CMs for it specifically. But as it is, we have to do with what we have. It may be sad, but that's how things always work.

Yup EL dealer stuck around for the last hour, now gone. Liked the 100% bonus for last hour as well, helped level up my BMG's. :D Especially with that EL Blue, adding the right Mod's turned it into a sniper BMG. Cant wit to hear all the complaints when people start useing them in PvP. :p

While I see/agree with the 'point' you make, many of us believe that Defi would have been a much better game as far as return on investment for Trion had they handled it as something they seemed to care more about.

They didn't put the effort into support when the inevitable bugs at launch popped up. Then they 'seemed' to have fired the devs who could have fixed the issues quickly 'too soon' after release.

An analogy:
We understand you don't need framing carpenters after the major rough construction is done, but you don't fire all the better ones just because your tile-setters and painters are doing the finish work. You still need some skilled muscle to fix the probs that Will and Did crop up.

They got rid of most of the guys who could do the heavy lifting too soon in the process, and the guys who were left were either short-handed, or not the 'A-Crew' who knew all the ins/outs of what was wrong.

Patches seem to keep failing after successive patches broke stuff again. The ammo cache issue was fixed, for example, then un-fixed.

Patches were needed and didn't come.

Poor decision planning and making: The Charge Blade fiasco. Who thought that one thru?

The chat and clan systems.... ? heh.

The DLC was supposed to be content. It was too focused on giving us the patches we were supposed to get regardless of the content. They seem to have mishandled too much of the stuff that they needed to be on top of, and it cost them. We didn't fail them by not getting behind the game. They failed them by not paying full time and attention to solving the issue. If you're short-handed, you need more guys, not longer 'soon' times.

The EL dealers allowed you to buy multiple copies, and charged for them. Scrip is gone, and extra copies are not there in many cases. Same thing with buying multiple copies during regular play. Where's the warning from Trion? Why do they charge you and not deliver?

Why do they charge for boosts that continued to run while the servers were down?

All of the above points to a big GFY to the player base.

It was a nice touch from them to allow everyone build up their scrip reserves at the Extra Life vendor. At last i only have to care about salvage and keys for a long time, which are a lot more interesting to farm for than scrip.
Thanks Trion!

Agreed. Heck, I came over from MMORPGs too.

is the extra life dealers done already or are they still coming on today?
