Character Transfer (F-T-P and Game Disc) Question ?

[Tura Satana]

Just saw two on eBay for the 360, one for $99 and another for $169. Not cheap by any means. £ to $...£20 is $30, not that great a deal, for me, if I only want it for the dlc code...

I got mine for $20 at amazon before Christmas. The thing is, there may just not be any left anymore from the dealers offering them at those prices. Mine was Ps3 though. Xbox one has been $30 I believe.

$30 for the ultimate edition is an AMAZING DEAL. It comes with the season pass which alone is worth $40. Plus you will get extra key capacity, all loudouts unlocked. You dont want those?? You also get a patron pass that runs for over a month. You even get 1200 free bits to use. That's 20 bucks alone! Plus other extras in game and the CD soundtrack and concept art book. You are a fool to buy the season pass instead of this - knowing that this exists.

Thing is finding one cheap. I'm poor, so I'd have to find one for about $20 to warrant buying. I'm basing the value, for me, on what I think the dlc is actually worth. I already own the normal edition, so I don't think any of the normal extras would apply to my acct. Bits might be nice but I have zero intent on ever buying any so not having them, or caring if I'd have them, is no loss. I already have five loadouts as well that I never use. All I'd care about is the dlc code. The physical extras I don't want at all.

Got to add shipping to the cost as well. I'm not an amazon prime member so no free shipping. I really don't shop online so take that into consideration too. I have no CC, no bank acct, and no PayPal. When I buy ms currency I physically go to GameStop and pay cash for the code.

Just explaining why I'm so cheap ;-)

Question: when you link account it says " unlock rewards tou earned in Arkhunter Training
by linking accounts " was I supposed to recieve anything? My inventory has the
same amount of items. (After reddem code my inventory increased by 40 and I was given boost and scrip bonus
and 1k arkforge) do I recieve anything from linking or is that it?

Glad you got everything figured out. Just want to tap in on your question real quick. The Arkhunter Training program was a promo campaign we ran before launch so its expected that you won't see any of those rewards appear in claims. We use the linked account functionality for most of our promotions, like the codes that appeared during the show for season 2. It also enables you to opt-in to our emails which range from promotions that include some form of in-game reward to information on upcoming or recently released game features.

You may as well just get the season pass then, by the sounds of it's cheaper than getting either the ultimate or collectors edition.

So today I decided to put the disc in just to see what for myself if there are any differences. there was an update, Pressed START at the main menu and now it says INSTAL GAME.
Why does it say to Install Game ? If I do Install Game what happens exactly? Will that effect my current free to play version of the game?

OKAY SO THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED. THANK YOU ALL. PAY NO ATTENTION TO QUESTION AT THE TOP.

I SIGNED INTO MY FTP GAME AND ONTO MY MAIN CHARACTER AND IT WONT LET ME CLAIM THE ITEMS I RECIEVED FROM THE REDEMTION CODE, THE SAME CHARACYER I RECIEVED 40 INVENTORY SLOTS AND 1K ARKFORGE ON LAST NIGHT WHEN I USED CODE AND LINKED ACCOUNTS.
I made a new character lastnight to hold onto some of my weapons, now it will only let me redeem the vbi outfit, headgear, rocket launcher (hydra) and other stuff on my new characyer and not the intended "main" characyer I play with.

Why did this happen and how can I fix it. This is soooooooo frustrating!

you don't need to install the game as its already installed. when you first do this you also have to set up a trion account. this is a totally separate thing to the installed game. if you set it up originally as a ftp account then it will just have certain limitations applied to it. its an account level thing, not a game install thing. simple as that.
if you have a purchased copy all you needed to do was enter the serial no. and it would upgrade your account, not game, to a purchase copy account and grant what additional things your are entitled to.

I already said using the disc would force a complete install. And that the disc is NOT needed so you shouldn't bother. Sorry you ignored that.

What is it that you can't claim? Sounds like you already claimed the inventory for that character, or did I read wrong?

Also if you would have looked you would have seen that the Hydra is non tradable so it is stuck on the character that you claimed it with. Sorry about that too.

What you have to do now is delete all Defiance data from you hard drive, then reinstall and patch the game.

You won't lose any saved data as it is saved to Trions servers, the code and all your characters will be playable.
