SC Goods Account-Wide

I just hope SOE doesnt drag their feet. This should be a high priority. Account wide unlocks with the option of paid character transfers are holding me up. I have been burned before by devs in other games promising something then not delivering, so until they give details and an ETA, they are not getting a dime from me. And since I hate grind (and cant play often enough to grind anyway), I will spend money. But the ball is in SOE court for when I will.

I totaly agreed it's a shame if i delete my character i loose everything !

Okay okay, En Vogue rocks it for sure haha

While I doubt this will happen, if it did SOE would gain a HUGE amount of cred with the playerbase and make disgruntled people with buyer's remorse turn into dedicated fans.

Well, it's confirmed. Higby said Station Cash purchases will be account wide, excluding anything that is faction specific. So weapons are out of the question because each one(correct me if I'm wrong) is faction specific. I believe the only thing would be boosts and camos that are going to be account wide.

That is c-rap.

Just like the original policy, this is just greedy c-rap to make players spend more.

Faction specific weapons should be usable by the same faction on any server...

/no more money for SOE from me.

source please

The prices are not cheap for items, I'm not going to spend another $50 just because I can't have my stuff from other server.

I got the alpha squad and I believe PS2 is very good. But i will feel a little cheated for having to buy the same thing from other server. I have SC items on one server and i just found my friends went play into another server. Can't be more pissed than that.

Nooo, that's not what I meant. Faction specific weapons will be usable across all characters of the same faction. So every TR gun you buy will be usable for every TR character you make. But if you buy an NC or VS gun, obviously that weapon will not be available for your TR character.

I thinks it's a good news ,Alexander can you confirm that ?

Thank you! I'm pretty excited for the future on this game

Ug, still looking forward to news on this greatly. What does SOE class as "Soon" as far as news go?

Yeah, I am an impatient bastard but I am really looking forward to this

im pretty sure they are working on a system for this

vanity items should be unlocked through all factions on the account, equipment unlocks would be account wide faction unlocks only unless thye decide to make it cross faction equiv unlocks which would be nice

Ever waited on a Blizzard game? That's "Soon"

They probably won't start on this while their resources are on stabilizing the existing game. Maybe around the time the next continent rolls out.

This is good news. Based on this I'm guessing the safest things to buy at the moment are common pool weapons and vehicle upgrades.

I would still like some clarification though. I have yet to decide on a faction and therefore have not spent any money (I don't want to waste it). If I were to buy a Galaxy gun upgrade, would it be unlocked on all of my characters regardless of faction? What about rocket pods (since they are on ESFs, but the rockets are all basically the same)?

Basically I would like to see a list of items that will likely be available cross faction once purchased, and ones that would not. If I knew this I would likely make purchases now knowing that they would be good regardless of what server/faction I ended up on.

That's simple. Anything from Nanite corp is cross faction and therefore available on other empires. Examples include the Lightning turrets, most (but not all, there may be some ES ones in there) of the Sunderer turrets and the weapons for the Lib and Gal. The Walker turret for the Prowler not because it's the version specific for the TR empire specific tank. The Enforcer launchers not because those are NC specific weapons.

Most overlap will be in vehicle weapons because most infantry weapons are empire specific.

Sooo.. there was never any reply here on the issue?.

*bump* well, I guess I won't worry about it more then.. maybe they will reveal it when they reveal their 6 month plan in january.

If you read through you'll see we have a few staff replies, Smed also confirmed that account-wide purchases WILL be implemented and they WILL be retroactive to anything you've already purchased.. I posted the source for that somewhere above.
