Bound to account

[B3AST]

I want to bring back this idea again and even if you failed to implement this, you should just put more effort to solve problems you had back then.

Most stuff makes no sense to be bound to character. I will give you several examples.

1. Essence of Ego. (Dont see any reason why it is bound to character, should be not bound at all. People trade egos even now so your bounding makes no sense.)
2. Essence of Vigor. (Should be bound to an account) Would take me time to explain. Anyway I will try do it with few sentences. For example you can craft some new 6 slot weapon on your main character, but you need lots of cross-depent mats and you buy these recipes on your alt characters, some of them will need Vigors to craft so you will have to play tournaments from several characters just to get those Vigors. I think everyone like to play tournaments from their main characters to get ratings and etc etc. That why I think Vigors should be bound to an account.

3. New combat augs. Why this is bound to character? We spend lots of bronze coins to get recipes and we can only craft them for one of our characters.

4. Bronze, Silver, Gold coins should be bound to an account, but what you buy with them should be bound to character.

5. Club stuff should be bound to an account....

6. Feel free to add.

Just make it like it is with Boosters/drinks. When you place it in your bank its not bound anymore and you can use on any of your char.

They do this to prevent players from farming with multiple characters to "stack" one character. Cheaters will often do this using multiple accounts to farm power for one main character, or a "bank" character so that when an account is banned they do not lose all the loot they collected with that account.

Binding to character prevents both stacking characters as well as keeps cheaters from being able to stockpile stuff on "safe" accounts.

I dont know what you are talking about.

I do understand that if cheater gets banned he cannot use any of his characters on that account. That include bank with all the items stored there. Fix me if I`m wrong.

You are correct, I was simply speaking of one of the reasons items are bound. If such items were not bound to character moreso account) it would be possible for cheaters to build huge stockpiles on alternate accounts as a "backup" in case they are banned.

Mostly your request would fall under the farming category. It makes it too easy for a player to (as i said in my previous post) "stack" a single character on their account without having to rely on the game economy and other players to advance them or equip them with top gear, patches banners etc.

I totally agree with you B3AST, excepting 3rd point.
Can add that goods from clubs should be bounded to account too.

Can't see a way to exploit EOG or EOV if they are bounded to account. The same thing for silvers or golds.

Still I do not understand your point here. I`m talking about some stuff being bound to account not unbound at all so if you cheated and got banned you cant use anything. Everything will be lost!

What farming? Here is nothing to farm, all the things to achieve you must work and put effott to get, its not few hours thingie. You cannot farm vigors, ego, coins, recipes...its not some ingredients what you could find in stockpile.

It is still a form of farming when you are using multiple characters "earnings" to pad one characters "Build" The reason they keep these things bound to each character is so that in order to get "the best" stuff for one character, you need to put in the effort with that character. This keeps the characters stats and earnings balanced. FOr example, it would be very odd to see a character who has never participated in a tourney or tw etc stacked with all the top things available through participation only in tourneys or tw. A player that wants what is earned from such things should have to put in the work for each toon they wish to have those things on. It does not make sense to allow a toon who has never competed to reap the rewards specific to participation in events.

ie. It is not the developers fault if the player has more toons than they can handle

Your example still not good enough why it should be bound to character. I do believe that extra characters for an account are given with a reason so you can support/help for any of your character you want. Also I wouldnt care if some "unknown player" came tw or tournament with best gear becouse he earned it on his alt in fair way and with the time so dont really matter on which character he would get best gear..That would be main or an alt he would still get it and used it. However I think only an idiot could play tournaments and later buy best gear for an alt character and for me extra characters are give just to help, support and maintain your main character.

If a character has not participated in anything they should not have access to the awards available through participating in those things. It makes it unfair to players who are unable to participate in those things for whatever reason.

If he have access to the awards that means he participated, wouldnt matter with what character on the account he did, still he participated and got the reward. Let him decide where to spend/use it!

for exmaple???


few question do you played the game recenlty? Do you tried craft any 6 slot gun or any new item? You ever craft combat augs?

from your posts make me think that you didnt...and just posting here just for post counts.
