Did I read this right?

What about promotional items? I unlocked one I would figure it would unlock on all my future characters except I didn't want to get that twice how does one undo something like that?

Sounds like the Lightning is going to be gaining popularity.

Tbh for most tank zergs I prefer to roll in the lightning instead of the magrider after I unlocked the racer chassis.

Zoom zoom boom boom.

Too many of my team members don't skyguard, I finally take my place as being the total ******* to air again.

Woah woah..RadarX must have lost a bet to post here.

But since hes here: Am I right in the assumption that burster arms and MBT secondaries (non-faction specific) are also unlocked?

Speaking of bets, I'll go all in that he doesn't post in this thread again.

what a pity

I would hope the left burster will be unlocked across the entire account for all factions. MBT secondaries on th other hand, not sure, as the MBT's themselves are not common pool and weapons are unlocked per vehicle (unlocking a walker on the Sundy does not unlock the walker on the MBT)

I think players up voted this thinking you would get the equivelant weapon for each faction .
Now players realise it only really applies to cosmetic items I,am not sure players would have wanted the devs to priorities this over other proposed features .
basically you use SC to buy a camo any characters you have can use it .
I really would not have wasted developer time on this personally .

actually this was pretty important, and will actually spark interest in me playing my nc alt a bit more now that i get the second burster, annihilator, flash/sundy/lib/gal guns and mbt halberd

I dunno .. It was pretty much common sense what Account wide unlocks ment .. Any items unlocked would be available account wide.
If you have unlocked the JH then why should it auto unlock Lasher / Chain gun ? Anyone who up voted based on the assumption it would were living in Lala land

Simple Rule: Everything that has the same name will be on other characters (other factions)

You lose.

I'll check on the secondary weapons and we'll get that information out there.

I'm curious, will we get refunded if we have multiple of the same item unlocked?

What if you unlocked with certs, and now look to buy with station cash for the 3 cha unlock. Will you get the certs back?

This thread has failed reading comprehension.

That is still pretty awesome! Now if I start a new character I won't have to buy the same weapons.

If you could, please bring the following feedback to the team responsible for this decision.

Please consider allowing equivalent unlocks for SC purchases to extend across faction boundaries. Most items have some form of faction equivalent, these items typically fulfil a role and match nicely to other things. For example, rocket pods have an equivalent on all three factions, unlocking one should unlock on the other. Another example would be SMGs... these all match up in released tiers. I purchased the first SMG released, I shouldn't have to repurchase these each time.

We will still have to flesh out these weapons with certs, that won't change. It just means I won't have to rebuy these items again on a different faction, should we decide to switch or try playing another one for a while. I realize a lot of folks talk about faction switchers... that can be seen as an issue, certainly, but there are also a variety of good reasons to want to play another faction. I wrote a post on this a while back, it can be found here:

Consider also that SC unlocks means someone actually gave you money for these things. Asking them to rebuy them again may not go over as well as you think... to the point where folks will be disinclined to purchase them again, and will be further wary of buying items in the future. I don't know how true this is... I've repurchased a few items after my own faction switch. I have my reasons for this but I don't know how global I am. Anyway, I do feel like removing the faction restrictions would make me more willing to buy items, knowing that if the crowd I played with ever disappeared, or if I met some folks who played elsewhere and wanted to join them, I wouldn't feel so restricted.

Thanks.

What happens if i unlocked a2a reaver rockets with sc, and then later on i also unlocked them on a tr char with certs?

Also, dev team should really reconsider this cause i think it's bs, i mean, if i bought a jh with sc, my tr and vs should definitely have mcg and lasher, and that goes for all empire specific or vehicle specific weapons to be honest. They should just be "translated" to the other factions' equivalent, else common pool stuff are going to be more valuable even if they cost the same, and empire specific stuff should have its cost reduced.

Also, just to talk about a2a rockets again, they're all exactly the same for the 3 factions, but nc and tr ones are called a2a tomcat whatever (the same) and the vs ones are called photon pew laz0r rainbows. What's going to happen if i unlocked them on nc? they're going to unlock for tr as well but they aren't going to unlock for vs just cause they have a different name?

But even the normal esf rockets, i mean, yeah they're slightly different but they're basically all the same thing.. it makes very little sense if they don't unlock for all factions after buying them once.

Oh and yeah, what about composite armor? Same as camo i hope..

Hahaha, best bet I ever lost. Thank you.
