So uh.. why are all the Vendors missing?
There was an infinite ark salvage bug.
Im seeing this to some are gone like at top notch but others are where they should be, there wasnt anything in the patch notes saying they did anything with them.
People discovered a glitch that would let you get infinite ark salvage so they removed the vendors in question
Some noselifter reported a minor bug and they jumped on it. Cause they always have their priorities straight.
Same song, different dancer. Change the record!Quote:

I guess this was discovered post patch being as they added a fast travel to coit tower which now servers no purpose because theres no vendor there.Quote:

They did this without an update? Interesting, glad they're addressing this though.
Its likely that Trion removed the vendors because modifying their inventory while they were active could have caused problems, especially if people were trying to buy said shield while Trion was modifying the vendor. Removing said vendors and then modifying their inventories would eliminate such a threat.Quote:

Double post! D:
And this is why I try to avoid smart answers so I will just say "Dey dun gurn fixted et"

all the ones with the free shields have been removed lol
You are assuming they are fixing it right now. They could just have removed them so the free trial people did not see how broken the game is.Quote:

Pretty sure it was just the blood george vendor that sold said shield?
no it was any an all von bak (sp?) shield sold where ever, an it was free. you couldnt sell it for scrip only brake it down for salvage. one at a time, an its white, so 250 max. an its been like that since before the patch. the mods moved the post it was in, or removed it to protect the snitch I would guessture. but lol, to show that the game isnt fkd up to the free weekend is hilarious. thanks for the lol
I would love to see that happen on a Free Trial weekend, LOL.Quote:
