I would have applied if I hadn't already pledged myself to being an Enforcer at PAX East... in 2011 (and ever since). See you there!

Hi guys,

Thank you all so much for your amazing entries. I wish I could take you all with me. We got a massive amount, but unfortunately we can only pick three.

I've already put it in my To-Do List in the PAX East App to see the FD area.

Nevertheless, it's going to be awesome!! :D

My first PAX ever, PAX East 2015.

If you end up being in need of an other ambassador, I live 45 minutes from Boston In Massachusetts. I am a 34 year old experienced gamer.

I was a game guide / Gm for everquest for A few years. I am in retail store management for a large video game store, so I know how to sell a crowd and sell a game. I have ten years of customer service and management experience.
I have been playing mmo games since 1996 till current and video games since 1985.
I am very passionate about gaming and about ED And would love to come help out and talk about the game and help promote it.

Are there any other PAX events coming? Where can I find out? I am guessing Miami is not one of the stops. I hardly know any PC gamers from this city.

Long shot, but are any CMDRs going to be on the Pre-PAX Pokecrawl barcrawl? I'm one of the volunteers for it and a very recent CMDR myself.

Can't wait to meet people at the booth and try out the Rift.

CD Projekt Red (The Witcher series) is at PAX East and have posted several photos to their Facebook page.
So those of you with FB accounts: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/...0152810706359331.1073741865.9659019330&type=1

And those who don't:

The PAX East showroom floor (this many people on a Friday! Man, Saturday's gunna be insane!)

And a couple of The Witcher cosplayers. (Triss Merigold and The Wild Hunt)

There are a few extra photos on the FB page, but nothing earth-shattering.

Hope to see a PAX East thread from one of our own with plenty of pics! (or Twitter too)

Hello Commanders!

First, please let me express the enormous gratitude that I, the rest of the Ambassadors, and the epic team of Frontier staff have for each and every person that was incredibly kind enough to stop by the Elite: Dangerous booth at PAX East.

To those that chose to simply observe, and to the huge crowd of folks that chose to wait in line to try out the game: Thank you. Endless thank-yous. Even after driving back home last night, and still recovering this morning, I find myself overwhelmed at the enthusiasm, excitement, and kindness that all of you exhibited. It was a genuine pleasure meeting each and every one of you.

I can't thank Frontier enough for the experience that was this entire weekend. These folks at Frontier really are some of the classiest, kindest people I've had the great pleasure of meeting and working with, and these folks work HARD! Long hours, little to no sleep, yet they still keep charging forward. Big salute to the folks at Frontier, and all those I got to meet Thursday through Sunday. o7

Without further ado, here's an attempt to share just a few photos from this weekend. I'm no photographer, so pardon the amateur pics from my phone :) I'll have to post them as links, as the photos are too large for the forum image size limits.

Thursday afternoon: After meeting the other Ambassadors and some of the Frontier team at the hotel, we head over to the Convention center to assist with setting up the booth. Upon entering the expo hall itself, this is the sight I'm greeted with. A gigantic venue, and a well-oiled machine of exhibitors and their teams setting up their booths for the convention: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2096.JPG

A quick snap of one of the corner risers with Elite logo blazing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2098.JPG

Thursday night: (left to right) Jessie from Frontier, Ambassador Ryan, and our Community Manager Ed Lewis. We have a late dinner out on Thursday night after we finish setting up the booth. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2104.JPG

There were many laughs. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2116.JPG

Friday Morning: It's early. I've donned the uniform. Ready to go! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2118.JPG

Friday Morning: At the venue, before doors opened to public. Excitement is in the air, game is ready to show! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2119.JPG

Friday Morning: Doors opened. Folks swarm to the booth. Players take their seats! Ambassador Dr Wookie points out he's ready for another player! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2120.JPG

Friday: The queue grows and grows! Players check out the game on the Rift, Ambassador Ryan gives a walkthrough on how to fly. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2123.JPG

Friday: The crowd at the booth becomes truly massive. People are laughing, having fun, and the enthusiasm grows and grows. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2125.JPG

After wrapping up the day on Friday, I return to the hotel and take off my wings. Gotta race out and grab some food while we have the chance! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2127.JPG

I'll post up more photos when I can, but need to race out the door right now. I'll edit this post to show off more soon as I'm able.

First edit of this post begins here, March 9th, 12:40pm EDT

Saturday Morning: In true #LegitBiz fashion from my twitch steam, I start out the day at breakfast with a rather epic waffle: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2146.JPG

Saturday Morning, immediately after doors open: Crowd begins immediately. In the foreground, we have a real pilot stop by and take a crack at the game. This gentleman was a true ace and punched through both the basic and the advanced combat demos we had brought with us. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2147.JPG

Saturday afternoon around 2pm: The crowd grows and grows all day. In the front, we're behind two players enjoying Elite on the Rift. On the other side, we can see the front of the line, and Ambassadors Ryan & Dr Wookie helping their players. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2153.JPG

Saturday afternoon: Twitch stops by to experience Elite: Dangerous on the Rift! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2154.JPG

Saturday afternoon: These sharp-dressed fellows stop by and have a turn on the rift. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2158.JPG

Saturday just before 5pm: Pardon the amateur nature of the vid, but here's a quick pan of the queue & crowd around the booth. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2161.MOV

Saturday night: Out for a final dinner with the crew: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2167.JPG

Sunday afternoon: This young ace has a crack at Elite in the Rift https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80086629/PICS/Rezri_ED_PAXEast-Pics/IMG_2173.JPG


Thanks again to Frontier and all the attendees. This was so much fun, and I'll never forget the experience. :)
