Longer Baro visits

[Eldirian]

Hi!

From time to time people ask for a longer visit from Baro Ki'Salt. I never had a problem with his short visits but during this weekend I was unable to log in into Warframe (awayday). DE, would this be a problem to change his visit from 48 hours into 60 hours (yes, weekend is 2.5 days)? Or even better yet! Let us buy stuff from him during his visits through WF mobile app.

 

Pls DE. :)

At that point its useless to even make him go away, which eliminates a big part of the hype of Baro (when he brings a good item) on his visits anyways. Not going to happen. 48 hours is typically more than long enough and his items return fairly quickly, just wait for it to come around again.

DE changed what time Baro shows up a long while back, which means he doesn't stay for the whole weekend, resulting in things like this.

Baro should have a donation bar that, if everyone payed up enough credits and Ducats for his wares, he would linger for another 12 hours on Sunday (which would be in such a way that would allow all timezones to be able to grab at his offerings before he goes).

However, should people buy even more in those bonus hours, his next arrival would not include the items bought in extreme quantity (except the Quest, of course).

Baro stays for 48 hours still, that hasnt changed since his first release. All timezones are equally able to get online to visit him before he leaves, they all have 48 hours. They only shifted when his visit starts.
Likewise, that idea of yours wouldn't work since he doesn't bring the same item twice in a row generally, and since he brings items back within a month or two, people have no real incentive to donate to make him stay for an additional 12 hours. It would also not help anyone that cant see him in his normal visit time since they are the main ones that would want to donate to extend the time yet they are the ones that cant get online to donate.

The biggest problem with Baro is the actual time he is here.

The vast majority people are free on the weekends; Saturday and Sunday.  Still DE wants Baro to show up on FRIDAY.   Most people work on Friday and have plans for Friday night.  That leaves Saturday and a small slice of time for Sunday.  Which is just silly.

Have Baro be available for Saturday and Sunday.
