Defiance: Bonus Loot Weekend! (5/10 - 5/13)

[Sledgehammer70]

Bonus Loot weekend offers a 10% boost.

Well, my UI still says 0% loot boost. Logged out and back in etc. No change. It's 4:40pm here on the west coast.

Please see here:

Note:You will not see a % boost shown on the in-game UI. If you have a Loot Boost active, the increase will stack, but again the % increase will not be shown on the UI. (It will continue to read 10%) But we have verified the loot bonus will and is stacking.

Yes, yes....I do understand that; but I am suppose to be getting some indicator on my UI, yes? I haven't purchased any "Boosts" and it's already 4:45pm PT here.

Thanks, I can put in some work with 20%.

Sweet!

Maybe I can actually get some Legendaries now.

Dude this is a bad weekend to do this.

Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer is completely free on Steam this weekend.
Neverwinter Online has double astralia diamonds this weekend.
Battlefield 3 has double XP this weekend.

You've got competition.

lol yeah so Trion is supposed to factor in other games to release their content?

It's not "content" it's marketing. Notice other games doing the same type of thing? They want to get current players in-game more and possibly getting players to come back. If you have several other higher profile games some being completely free to try doing the same marketing ploy it's a bad time to do it.

You're right, *sigh* got so worked up that I didn't even read the post properly. HAHA! My appologies.

It's not content but my point still stands. It's ridiculous to suggest that Trion has to keep track of other "bonus" weekends for games and make sure they have the only bonus weekend for a shooter. Hell, wouldn't it even make MORE sense to do it this weekend so people would want to play Defiance more since they can get better loot?

Ahh...Sorry Sledge, I misread that. Thought it meant it wasn't showing the stacking, so if you had 10% you would still only see 10%. Didn't realize it wasn't showing the percentage on the free boost at all even with no active prior boosts etc.

Thanks for the bump on the noggin
