Should outfits be purchasable through in game vendors?

[xilfxlegion]

also --- why buy outfits anyway ? people still all look the same lol

well im glad they used outfits instead of subscription fees, though ive noticed that games with fees have waaaaay more content and get hotfixes/patches way sooner so if they did have a subscription it couldnt be more than $7-$8 a month from shear lack of real mmo content. i honestly dont believe a sub fee could ever be justified for defiance

what we need is the PETS in the store and some in game from vendors!!!!!!!

After all the piper project trouble, some people never learn.

That's actually turned out to be false. Several games have gone to Free to play with add on content purchased through an in-game store and done very well.

Turbine has stated categorically that LoTRO has made far more money since it went F2P and introduced the LoTRO store. They have done so well that they're now releasing their fifth major expansion to the game. That was after the game struggled for a couple of years after the initial launch had gone well.

While the current market and pricing on the Defiance store may not be balanced correctly, it is quite possible with some tuning and more content the game can do quite well.

No, and it's not likely to happen. It would be unfair to all those who bought them...

As someone who paid $50 more for Defiance than a new player does, this is where I stopped reading.

Quite ironic that the poster saying it'd be unfair probably only paid $10 for the game

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep it up!

It would be nice if there were outfits to buy on vendors, different outfits than from the game store of course. Wouldn't screw anyone who's bought outfits and something to buy besides weapons and such.

Just wanted to ask also, and didn't see the point of a new thread, is there some setting I'm missing on the PC version that stops everyone from looking the same? Is this a bug or "feature"?

It really sucks to get an outfit and know that you look like a bald, parka wearing human male to everyone. Makes you wonder what the point is of even buying an outfit.

It's by design. The developers put it in to make the game more stable for game console players since their platforms are extremely limited in terms of RAM. Not a particularly insightful move on their part and not something they have any concrete intentions of fixing in the foreseeable future.

Honestly I would very much like to see this fixed. I would like to experience Arkfalls on PC just like the promo vids, with each Arc-Hunter with their own style of clothing going all in for the kill. EMC troopers, Raider dressed, Custom heal/torso dressed individuals. Would give more life to the game than "Attack of the Clones".
