Account Banks and Bind on pickup.

Every MMO of this type I have played had or has a Account Bank. It make it so much easier to move items around it also helps keep common items together in 1 pile.
I started playing while the game was still in Beta, I thought something so common was certainly in the works. Logically there are guild banks so, account banks are around the corner, the technology has to be about the same right?
I know the game is based on the same game engine as the Star Trek Online game. That game has account banks. So where is the account banks for Neverwinter Online?
This is one of the things that gives that game a cheap feel to it.
The other is things that do bind pick up, BIND to Character. Now don't get me wrong I understand the need for things to bind. It would be nice if some of those things bound to account rather than character. "oh look this, is a nice Epic ring, this character does not need it, Its has a high recovery I'll put it on My DC! Oh wait it's bound to this character dam that's a shame." I was happy now I'm frustrated and disappointed.

because at launch, the game was released with three separate shards. now that the shards have been merged, the likelihood of this happening in the (nearer?) future is a lot better.
I couldn't care less about an account bank but account bound items are a must. If account banks would bring this system faster and easier since the mail system can't support account bound items then by all means make an account bank.
But account bound, rather than character bound, needs to be the focus of most of the game's items. I can understand that equipping an item (not a companion/mount) would cause it to be bound to character but items like companions, lockbox mounts and DD Chest drops need to be account bound rather than character bound and I'll support anything which gets us there.

i fully support this post.
That is one of those "I can't believe it isn't like that already" things.
100% think it is a must adjust.

why did they do that anyways? Why did they allow the chest in MotH to contain BoP items for a class you cannot even use it on?
I've encountered this exact issue, and it is so frustrating!
Indeed, if an item is going to be dropped for a player as BoP, it darn well better be usable by them in the first place!!!
While we're on the topic of the Master of the Hunt Skirmish, can you guys please correct it so that it always grants the ADs when run during the Skirmish Event - right now it's hit-or-miss whether it will or not...

considering there was the split shard issue prior to the merger, i can believe it. but hopefully it will change soon.
Doesn't it also give ADs sometimes when it's *not* the event?

I rarely run it when the event isn't going, so I can't say for certain. Can anyone else comment on this? If it does, then perhaps the MotH chest doesn't actually *care* whether there's an event running or not...

It does. At least during non-skirmish hours, AD is one of the possible rewards. So if you get the AD, you aren't get a barkshield shard.
Oh-ho-ho-really? Well then... I may have to run it more often, then. :cool:
*Can anyone confirm whether this is the intended behavior? I don't wanna risk getting banned or anything if it's a glitch...

Or a BoP redhat item that you cannot use anyways! *GARRRRrrr...*
I don't think they've ever officially commented on it. I know it was brought up by players in the bug forum back in August. Here is one thread about it from back then.
Account bank will be weet, but BoP is usually broken in games.
Since so many things have been changed to BoP, I think it would make people a lot happier if stuff was bound to account, rather than the character. Frequently things that one doesn't necessarily want or need on a character will drop for them, but then on another character, who could use it, they'll have to grind like crazy. Adding more grinding to a game doesn't make it more playable.
Similarly! I believe that things bought from the Zen store - particularly clothing and bags - should become Bount to Account once equipped. I have characters I don't really want (or intend to reroll) that I can't reroll because they have fashion outfits I don't want to lose. That Zen cost real money and there's no reason why we should be stuck with it on a specific character after paying for it. Same goes for things that are limited-time - I don't want to lose my golden pantaloons or Caturday cloaks on some of my characters, either.
This brings me to Account Banks. Having a bank that can be accessed from all characters would be a great way to get people to buy more Zen. I would gladly pay for more bank slots in a shared account bank, while I am NOT spending zen for the individual bank slots. Which also go away if you delete your character, I might add! Things that one paid zen for should not be locked to that specific character. If these changes could be made, I would probably be willing to pay even more than I have for more Zen, and I think others would be as well.
you sure about that? all it takes is for this issue to be put on the devs list of things to consider once and i'm pretty sure it existed there WAY before any forum thread happened.
This is a no brainer. Anyone who's ever played mmo's would know especially in a mmo development setting that account banks, bind on account items from crafting/currencies, and a wallet are all 100% necessary for any modern title. BoP items for crafting was a serious insult. I stopped working on everything the day they announced that. I wonder if any of the development team are actually PC mmo gamers when they decide to do things like that honestly.
This and the lack of class choices were the two reasons I stopped playing. Their UI needs to be modernized (with the acct bank wallet) and their goals for class development need to be stepped up before I return.
I support this post and agree that account banks should be high on the dev-teams to-do-list.
I am however, not a fan of welfare epics, which I think account-bound equipment will be.
