Extra Life Dealer

[Chevota]

Giving away special equip with an event so short it's not good for the players who can't check and play the game for a full weekend,keep up the vendor for at least a day would have help some people to not miss them,the way this event was planned it's unfair.
I understand the concept of "game maraton" for benefit but when it's come to giving away something that in some way change the balance amongst player(and OP equip do this) developers should think to give the same chances to all the players.

It wasnt all that it is made up to be... The items were, mostly junk IMO. Only thing i bought was the LMG for an Alt, just to have a back-up fully auto... The only reason anyone needs to be upset, is they didnt get to EXPLOIT the Scrip issue. Otherwise, you didnt miss anything... If you felt the items were great, you probably didnt have good items to begin with, in which case, you have a small argument.

Btw not you specifically (in the quote).

I don't know. The Sniper rifle was pretty decent. The damage beats the crap out of all my orange ones.

yeah you might have me there. i ignore Snipers...

Doesnt seem like Snipers change the game much anyways in PvE, AR's are just too far out there in DPS.

Didnt have a Rocker (think thats the same type as the EL LMG, yknow, accy gets better while you shoot) to compare it, but I think the EL LMG mag was larger, so theres that.

I am the opposite. I couldn't care less for ARs, LMGs, and SMGs. I don't aim for the top spot, so I go with what I enjoy.

I have played Defiance since the alpha,sure the game is not perfect but I ever ejoyed playing all this months and looking forward to seeing getting better.

After just having watched a lamer with a charged blade finish off a crystal in less than two minutes after I'd been alone at the Ark Fall for the first five minutes, I'm inclined to agree with you. It only inspires me to steer clear of them from now on.

Nothing says you have to use anything... I see Leaderboards, i wanna top em ... way less skill, like Coop says "point, then shoot", just i guess i hit more crits then most.

anyways, dinnertime.

Well that's it. 7 pm eastern and the Dealer did not show up prior and looks like he will not make a late return. I guess that wraps up this thread.

The weapons are awesome. The event was super fun, I haven't played and grinded like this since the 1st week of launch. And Defiance right now is good but is shaping up into being something great.

I'm inclined to agree with you, the vendor isn't showing up again so I'm glad I was able to find him during two other spawns. I was able to pick up almost all of the items from the vendor and while they are nice, they aren't OP as folks who didn't get to the vendor seem to fear.

I think a lot of people had the impression that the vendor would be around during the whole event. If I had to take a guess I'd say that was the original plan but then they discovered the scrip exploit. Instead of canceling the vendor or delaying it to fix the issue, they decided to limit the spawn time and announce when it would be available. I could be wrong but I don't see any other reason to limit access to the vendor so severely, it just doesn't just make sense.

That being said, the event was a great success thanks to all of you fine folks who participated and vendor access or no, Trion was able to raise a lot of money for a good cause. Besides, as far as I know the Extra Life item are tradable so if people really want them I'm sure people will be willing to sell them.

All the guns I got say "cannot trade" on them - but you can trade the shields.

Only the shields are tradeable.

That being said, I had a lot of fun for the limited time I was able to play. Hit the vendor once, Wasn't impressed. Hopefully Trion will do something like this in Dec., perhaps Christmas charity type thing. We'll see.
