Ok, is it a Paradise Territory vendor or a new vendor in Paradise?
And where is it?
At Crystal Lake theres a hidden vendor that sells an Orange challenge if that's what you are looking for. It's little north west of the Muir Processing fast travel point. Theres 2 pools of water on the map west of Muir go to the top 1 kill the 99ers and talk to the guy/vendor.
*EDIT* Just learned about this weekend event, ignore this post.
They just added to the blog post stating the vendor will be added in the next 24hrs, how ****ing stupid do you have to be to make a big announcement of "Dodge high speed challenge" and not put the vendor in the game?

That's actually quite funny to me.
So do we have to do the race over again? I just labored to get gold through road blocks and hellbugs and am not looking forward to doing it again... or if we already got gold we just wait?
Edit: And completing the race and getting gold did not increase my rep with PT.
Wait until tomorrow. They said it will take 24 hours.
If you look in your contracts you will notice that Paradise Territory actually has a contract for this event. I'm sure that if you have gotten gold then it will be marked as completed as mine was. Once the vendor is actually put into the game I'm sure all of us with the contract completed will have access to this new vendor.
Not sure what the deal is with rep but I think Paradise Territory is about the easiest rep to build so this really shouldn't be a huge issue. I did notice that instead of getting the contract Svushinnira: Thinning the Herd my Most Wanted: Dy'Dekuso has been opened up again. Guess I am off to Explosions 101.
depends if they put vendor in after 24hrs when contract expires you may have to do it again.
Just read that the Challenges will cost 14k and will require 100 rep to purchase
I wonder how much better the stats are going to be, I just found a white challenger in a vendor yesterday and the stats were pretty much the same as all the others.
To hell with the Challengers. Where is my Nomad Challenge? HA!
Does anyone know where to find the time trial for it? Also, how are they gonna make the challenge a daily and not put the vendor in until after 24 hours? haha.
Its very close to the iron demon ranchQuote:

Didn't do it to me so I have no clue. I would say to open a ticket.
Googled it and this issue seems to be happening to alot of people, when I send a ticket what would a time trial fall under? Instance?Quote:

I'm not sure what you read, but in the community blog it mentions three or four times that the cars are available at a vendor once you have qualified by completing the Paradise contract.Quote:

EDIT: Time stamp says 2:30am
I'm with this guy.Quote:

Yes and no. See, it is a bit inept of them to announce a challenge midday and unlock it to all without the vendor even being in the game yet. That is the only real mistake made.Quote:

I did not have that issue luckily but I did run into roadblocks after a certain jump and that was beyond aggravating. Trion needs to remove all instances from occurring as well as removing ones that are up and in a direct path of any time trial once a player enters it.Quote:

Had the same issue with the timer, but if you exit the vehicle and reset it, the added time changes. Was able to get it to only 5 seconds added and still get gold....after 1000 failed attempts. However, when I completed the Explosions 101 instance, the contract was never marked off. Submitted a ticket, but has anyone else experienced that issue with the contract not checking off?
There is a sneaky (not really... more like clever and I found out by accident) way to actually complete the race without even driving...Quote:

Not to high jack this topic but anybody know if the vendor is in now? I assumed with that down time it woulda been added but I see no new vendors and no Vehicle at the Paradise territory vendor..
The vendor will be added in during a patch at 7 AM PST (west coast NA time). The downtime is listed at 30 minutes. There is no word on where the vendor will be placed.Quote:

Time zones... kind of important to know when it comes to these types of things and playing online games if you have friends in different time zones and/or countries.
Oh wait, nope. PST goes the other way, don't it? Two hours behind, not ahead. Ugggghh, Kay. Thanks, Bumbles. Back to rep Defiance
Yeeaaaah, I don't, all my friends on Xbox I know IRL. Lol. Anywho, I realized that probably as you were typing this. So yeah...I'mma go back to the game now. Lol. Later.Quote:

I don't quite understand why this bothers you. I got the contract done and now I just wait for the update. Not really a big deal to wait a couple hours.Quote:
