Companion unbinding, where did it go?
I can understand if they don't want to add this feature back into the game until later, possibly release, but seriously, it's not like it's going to affect game play.
Major reason I can think of is they don't want u swapping leveled pets to recently created characters for fast leveling. But honestly, it's not like leveling is slow in this game. you can get to 60 in one day.
For those of us who do not have a Hero or Guardian pack with the awesome account wide level 30 companion, we are stuck with high end companions on toons we may not wish to play due to this feature being in the game, but not working properly. The zen I purchased for specific companions was for that, with the belief that I could unbind and transfer it to another toon if I chose to no longer play that class. They are not account unlocks like the mounts are. I'd even rather see them as account locked and not character locked so u can xfer them to any toon on your account if they are worried about people selling leveled pets.
Anyone from Cryptic willing to comment on the companion unbind please. and thank you !
BTW: Outside a few glitches and problems, loving the game so far !!! Keep up the awesome work !

SWEET !!! TY mate. hope they get this ironed out soon
No, it will cost diamonds unless they decide to change it. At the moment when you try to unbind a companion you will be asked to accept an AD cost for doing so, its just that accepting the charge does nothing. I just hope them "fixing it" doesnt mean a huge increase in cost for unbinding.
ahh u are missing the point. This does not allow for the trading of companions from one toon to another.
unless they changed it... last time i checked could unbind companions... cost me like 12-13k to unbind my elemental... but was certainly gonna let me do it....
The option screen does pop up if you try to bank or mail the companion...but nothing happens when you agree.
Yea I agree this needs to be fixed asap...I bought a companion in the zen store and it was absolutely not right for the character I bought it with...you could say my bad, but seeing as how the game is so new...people are going to make those mistakes. As long as they are going to get around to it then fine...but if they come out and say it ain't gonna happen I absolutely will quit. The companions in the store say they are tradeable...they don't say they are only tradeable before you use them.
A lot of players, myself included, are on the fence about purchasing companions just for the reason that they are for one character only.
decided to get it. unfortunately I was on my GF character when I hit the buy option and I bound
it to the WRONG character. was totally my fault but I just wasn't thinking, I had logged on my alts
to pray then went afk, came back not thinking I wasn't back on my cleric yet. ive put in a ticket w/no response yet.
if they don't help me out and put it on the right character I will prob just stop playing the game.
I realize it was my fault but in most games a GM will help ya out even if you are at fault. having a $30 companion on the wrong character is a BIG deal.
only reason I bought them was because they were supposed to be able to be unbound and u could transfer to another toon. So yeah, that is WAY excessive for a companion for just one character considering the Mounts are account bound for the same price.
I hope they fix this soon. It's very annoying. I also will not purchase anymore companions if they are going to be $30 for one account without being able to unbind them.
The lockbox companions are dirt cheap. Much better bang for your buck. unfortunately, the cat and ioun stone are now the only two worth buying.
Is this even being looked at?
Why would it be looked at? This is probably such a low priority fix that making more mugs for NPC's in the Blacklake Inn is above it. Why? Because this "bug" makes them money. If you cant unbind your companion you are forced to buy a new one. Either with Astral Diamonds (which takes it out of the economy and some people will buy the AD with Zen) or with Zen.
This issue have been 100% ignored even after several threads in the bug page, heck I sent in a ticket with this problem. You know what response I got? I was directed to a wiki, this forum and some random excrement about how they cant transfer my character, what I can do to get into the same instance as my friends, how I do /stuck etc.
Basically they dont care about this bug at all since it makes them money. <tinfoil hat on> I would not be surprised if they made companions impossible to unbind on purpose <tinfoil hat off>
Its considered a bug because they have the messaging for it in already. It just doesn't work. If you go to drag a companion from an idle slot to your bag it tells you exactly how much AD it will cost. You click ok to agree to it. But nothing happens. How could it not be either a bug or an unfinished feature?
Besides it gets them money in a round about way as well. Since it gives zen spenders another reason to buy AD.
Ah, sorry..I wasn't aware of that - yeah, indeed, you are right - sure looks like a bug.
