Necks and possibly rings in the vault are not determined by role you go in.

Is there a logicalreason why weekly and monthly boxes don't work like that

Its like a gigantic slap in the face when a montky lockbox gives healer gear to my troll...

Are they still account bound? i have a few rings on one of my alts that i need on my main when i respec.....

This was never true of the lockboxes. No matter what role you were you could get any ring or neck. Just because none of the items are role specific meant sure, you could wear a dominance ring as a healer, but that doesn't mean it's of any use whatsoever to that healer. Chances are EXCEEDINGLY rare of getting a usefull ring or neck. And the rings are still the best in the game, way better than T5 raid rings, but unless you win the lottery, you're always going to have 2nd rate rings. If they were meant to drop items specific to your roll, that has NEVER worked, ever.

This is why there's such a MASSIVE glut of useless / wasted gear, the same goes for any of the reward boxes too, you can get all sorts of gear you cant use (t4 raid boxes keep giving me tank and troller stuff all the time) When the loot tables are so MASSIVE and the drop rate so small, you can go years of normal play time and never see a particular drop you want.

That is SO not how they worked in he boxes though. In the boxes I have obtained plenty "HEALER ONLY" stuff even though my two characters are Ice and Light.

Yes, the screenshot on the original post says "account bound" so you're good to go.

Yes, replay sales. Say that because since the items are random the person has to choose either to wait for reset or buy replays to try again.

Thank you! I'm familiar with the old mechanics of the lockboxes, but from reading the pc test notes, I had somehow gotten the idea that the items being moved from the lockboxes and into the vault. Perhaps I read something wrong or interpretted something incorrectly. I cannot find the lines that caused me to think they would be tradable (I thought I saw something about them being fully tradable). If wishes were money, right?

That promethium jewelry is was an always will be WEIRD!
But the fact they can be modded goes a long ways...

Also, if you want proof, you have but to look at the bank on my 'prom box mule' Not Tharkis and see every item I have ever opened in a lockbox sitting there, I'm a sorcery healer, and almost all of the items are usless both for DPS or for a healer. As a healer, i'm constantly getting tank and troller lockbox items.

I'm not sure you guys know how the lockboxes worked before, it might have been bugged and you're unaware.

You could get any ring on any type of character. I've gotten Tank rings on my Healer or Troll Necks on my Tank.

How can you say that's how they worked when they were in LBs? I thought the whole point of them being account bound, you could give your alts the other role specific jewelry that you can't use?

btw, are their new jewelry that is higher level than 78 that can drop from the vault?

Well, that's disappointing, to say the least. Based on the patch notes, I was hoping that the days of healer rings with a tank proc and vit affinity and other such nonsense were finally behind us. Oh, well.
EDIT: Well, at least that means I still have no incentive to buy Vault tickets.

Was it healer only? Or were the stats only increasing healer stats? I just thought about how DCUO likes to twist their words. The rings and necks have always been dps role, technically. The stats that were benefitted just caused us to interpret the ring or neck as healer, troller, tank, or dps.

Youre right. All lockbox stuff has always been wearable by anyone. It was simply prefix and suffix'd to healer (restoration)

Serious question: Was the old jewelry restricted so that you CAN'T wear it or are you just referring to the fact that the stats were best suited for a different role.

I ask because all the jewelry I used to get from lockboxes was not restricted, although rarely had stats that were suited for my main.

BTW, I think the wording in the patch notes is a bit misleading. It does seem to imply that the jewelry found in the vault now WOULD be according to our CURRENT ROLE. However, it sounds like nothing has changed and the chance to get a piece of jewelry that is actually useful to your role is slim to none.

Disappointed

Then DCUO just gave us a lowblow! They got us all excited that something was going to change, too. If you guys check out the other thread, people arte discussing how incredibly difficult it is to get a ring or neck now. Now I really wish I could trade around for the pieces my friends needed. Get my useless dps stuff out to a dps that can wear it. Just make it only wearable by a specific cr. Don't change the gear that we've already had dropped, since that would make more people angry, but make the new vault dropped necks and rings tradable and cr locked. Wouldn't that be acceptable? Flame the idea if you want, guys, I'm trying to get the developers to help make it more player friendly.

A TANK WONT GET HEALER RINGS what if a fire tank wants one or even 2

Yeah, not having a role restriction on an item doesn't mean that they're for every role. My high Vit rings would have been beyond dumb to use on my tank. Luckily, I have alts of many types...

The whole loot table of the game is very very bad .
IN solos/duos/alerts/raids .
Too many useless weapons drops .

Look @ catwoman challenge drops , you can hev 3 time the same parts drop in the same run .
SPlit personality set is a joke , runes of the NOrsement is a joke too .
And seriously need abig miracle to have the missing T4 pvp parts in the vauls , i run the vault everyday with 3 charachters this is really frustrating to NEVER drop any piece ther .
YOu should give us the feat for completing the set(s) for free instead to let us (if we have big luck) finish the set in 1 year or 2 .
