Can't shop with P2W vendor during TF

[jacobpaige]

When I try, I get the dialogue contacts give you when you're on a TF. This means I can't renew my xp buffs, my temp powers, make emergency purchases when I realize that I can't actually kill the Clockwork King solo because 150% regen debuff is apparently nothing to him, etc. It's extremely annoying.

Why is it a bug? It says you are on more important business so buy in advance? While Im sure people can, why should you be able to solo a AV in a TF exactly?

 

I think you want to be placing this in suggestions.

It's a bug because its a vendor. Any other vendor in the game can be accessed during a TF except this one. Whether I'm trying to solo an AV or not is honestly irrelevant. It's just how I discovered the problem.

I had the same issue with having forgotten to buy envenomed daggers before soloing a synapse. Was thinking all those kill all's would have been for naught but was able to get him with a Shivan finally. I'd imagine worst case scenario would be your flight pack running out on a shard tf.

Still not a bug, clearly says its locked out as you are on a TF, again, I would advise placing in suggestions.

So just to clarify something, this is due to the way that the P2W vendor is implemented. Basically most NPCs with dialogue can't be interacted with while you're on a TF (Trainers and Field Analysts are an exception). For example you also can't have Null the Gull change your speed boost settings while on a TF.

 

I'm not sure how practical it would be to change this, I suspect it's more complex than you might think but I'll admit I've never looked at the code so I'm making a guess.

The one in Pocket D will work while on a TF. The ones in starting zones don't because they have the extra dialog for flavor and lore.

A). Forgot there was one in pocket D.  B) That’s great information.  I just Ssumed they all didn’t work after I tried the Atlas Park vendor.

If I could like replies, I'd do it. Thanks a ton :)
