THE EXCHANGE

Introducing a brand new feature to Defiance: The Exchange! You can now use this new interface to buy and sell your items to and from other players! Want to get rid of a few extra Jackpots? No problem, list them on The Exchange, and hopefully someone else needs them more than you!

Some notes about The Exchange:

Basic Information
* The Exchange is located in the Defiance Store UI. You can navigate to it by going to the store, and moving the tab over to The Exchange.
* Once an item is purchased or sold, you can collect the item or proceeds from The Exchange interface in the My Orders or My Items sections.

Who can buy?
* All players will be able to browse and purchase items from The Exchange!

Who can sell?
* Non-patron players will not be able to sell items on The Exchange without an Exchange Sell Slot.
* Exchange sell slots can be purchased from the Defiance store for bits (up to a maximum of 6).
* Patron players will automatically have 4 auction sell slots, and can go up to a maximum of 10 with additional purchases.

What's the cost?
* A 10% scrip fee is deducted from the proceeds for all sales that are made as a transaction fee.
* In order to post an item on The Exchange, a scrip fee will be required up front depending on the duration, rarity, and asking price.

EGO LEVELING REVAMP

Coming with The Exchange update, we have completely changed the way players level in Defiance! Beginning now, players can now level all the way to EGO 6000 based solely on XP earned in game. This development means that pursuits are no longer required to obtain the maximum EGO rating in Defiance.

Some notes about this system:

What if you're already capped?
* Players who are already EGO 6000 will remain that way.
* Additional rewards can be obtained every time you complete your XP bar while you are at EGO 6000.

What's happening with pursuits?
* Pursuits will still continue add to your overall EGO rating, however they are no longer required to level.
* XP will continue to level up past the original 305 EGO levels. However, it will not grant EGO perk points past that point.
* Players will be able to level to 6000 doing whatever they enjoy, whether it is PvE, or PvP, or just arkfalls all day long!

Do we get anything for doing it the hard way?
* Absolutely! Players who were above 5000 EGO at the time of this update will receive the following Jackpot weapon on all of their characters:

* Players who obtained 6000 EGO at the time of this update will receive the title "Egomaniac", and the following Jackpot weapon:

* These weapons and titles will be granted to players over the next few days, and we will provide an update on the forums when all grants have been completed!
