Where does it say in there that the things earned while leveling will not be bound to the character?
It says that the things that you buy with the Neverember Incentives will be "account-wide rewards", and this can be interpreted in different ways and I wish that they would be more specific, but it makes no such claim for the leveling rewards.
If you open the info page from the home page in the game then mouse over the items that is what it says.
Yes. That is a problem.
I absolutely understand them not wanting this to be a means for players to give all of these reward items to all of their other characters, but yes, they should fix the tooltips.
That's why we try to cover it by adding sections like this to the release blogs for events:
"The rewards received from the Adventurer level-up packs are Bound to Character on Pickup. The items from the store for the event are Bound to Account on Pickup. "
https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/11012733-developer-blog:-neverember's-recruitment-event
But we could have been clearer/reiterated this in the in-game event listing as well.
Blog posts should ways be supplementary to your content, not contain vital information. Obviously what you guys deem vital and other deem vital will be different, being clear from the beginning (on item bindings) is probably going to result in less angry people and less visceral reactions, especially after how many systems have been changed or modified in Mod 15.
Anyway, I know these things happen and in retrospect it's easy to know which route is best, just figured I've offer another armchair 2 cents.
Thus it gave me and apparently others a reward for the ACCOUNT itself of the person doing the event. So in the hopes and dreams of being able to put that thing on the questing character that needed one the most....
Nope apparently...
So I just made a 3rd warlock... for nothing? Because there was certainly no long awaited new class to enjoy making a new character on an already loaded stable of alts---- (And for the love of heaven just put them out already! The endless balancing will never be finished-- Just damn the torpedoes and put them out- PUT THEM ALL OUT
Errr... um got off track there.
I tell you those two slots (minimum) bought with zen were acquired just to have a slot for this event precisely. Had it not been for that tantalizing bag of of "Account Bound Holding" I was expecting thanks to the tool tip read-over I would not have bought them.... Because this--
----I already had at the time 2 warlocks, 2 clerics, 3 GWF, 2 paladins, 2 trickster rogues, 3 hunter rangers, 2 cont wizards and one GF...
I was not looking for another one. I was being a good sport- leveling a class I find enjoyable enough to do extra times to participate in this very event with the hopes of account bound you darn well know what.
Anyway, color me disappointed... I won't stop leveling it, cause at the very least it's more celestial coins for bags for slim chance at account bound pres and coal wards... Also I gave him a cool name and spent half hour in the character gen fine tuning face and bod -thank goodness I resisted the comedy name of "Baggy McBaggerson"- but dang it Neverwinter! I hate to use the term here but this was nearly "bait and switch"... I know mistakes happen with codes but tell us in advance please what items in an event will do... Bindwise. (not a real word but using it) Not being able to move this stuff around on our own accounts is crippling and needless mean. That goes for winter event too. Enough with CHARACTER binding already. We get it. You don't want it flooding the market. Account bind accomplishes this better without annoying your long time players... or new ones.
It's important.
My grumbly and rambling two cents.
Of course you could always make more characters and spread them thinner, but that is my understanding of the whole thing.
They weren't exactly clear about how many could be earned or account maximums up front and I am still working my way through things.
Since it is time gated by AI campaign, my current approach is to do 2 new characters (I started them on last Thursday, a bit late). Move them to level 25 (which allows them to do egg in AI campaign). I probably can level the rest through invocation and the remaining AI quests. If not, I still have tons of XP tome.
when i stop at 65, then i got confused. where the rest of it.
i dont like having so many "2nd thoughts" and other players make assumations and often wrong answers, we need exactly words from devs for right answers.
"New characters created during this event will receive bonus rewards while leveling up and when completing Acquisitions Incorporated campaign tasks.
One of these rewards are Neverember Incentives which are used to purchase items from the Seven Suns Coster Market that can be used by any character on the account.
An account can receive a maximum of 200 Neverember Incentives."
i do have trouble getting the info the right way, what i read in game was seem too vague, and some players said one thing and other said completely way off.
nice to hear from devs saying it, thank you, and hope i didnt make post bait, since it is how i feel and often misunderstood.
he only re-posted the known information.
"An account can receive a maximum of 200 Neverember Incentives."
That does not say how many incentives one alt can get.
definitely don't level a character to 52 or whatever if you will never play it again, even if there IS a bag you can get for another character; i mean, seriously... cmon grinder, wake up to reality
it is bottleneck inventory, made it difficult to do dragons, barovia, skt or chult adventures. i see another paywall bait. seem not nice to invest 50-70 dollars or more just to upgrade bank and runic bags per character?
I have many level 70 alts that have only the default 16 bank slots.
The newly made "recruited" alts actually are nice in terms of inventory. The 2 new characters I made have more inventory than most of my established characters. Perfect for doing profession from scratch to make gold.
My main profession character has 114 inventory space vs 138 inventory space of the new characters and they have not even get the 12 slot bag from Neverdeath.
rest of other slots are for zen.
if no one remembers, then it could be STO when they gave free bank slots.
