I'm still waiting for them to add the various Halloween weapon skins to ARMAS for account-bound purchase, or bring back the achievements that unlock them on newer characters (both veterans on their alts, and new players in general).

I'm oke with the trade lock at the future all legendary are getting locked but i think they have to make it account bounded not character bounded i would like to hear what Mattscot thinks about this if he have any plans according to the situation.

Thats true i tried a proxy got lucky with the new glory, now its stuck on my enforcer its not tradable and i can not send it to other chars at my account to play with looks like i waste my money so better as character life time it won't get unfair if you ask me, second thing i never enter my country somewhere so for people who think to login on at vacation in the Belgium or Netherlands don't do it there is a chance that all guns you ever get with the boxes got stuck to Question for @MattScott Are the legendary's going to be account bounded or only for one char and i have to retry getting it on all my chars ?

Would it be possible to change the subject line to be more descriptive for e-mailed weapons, vehicles, purchased items, etc? Currently it shows [purchase] and I think [rewards] (I'm at work and can't verify this right now) for when you get items from joker boxes and from other methods. The problem with this is that if you have lots of e-mails (I have 15 pages of emails), some from joker box purchases others from account weapons, etc I don't believe there is any quick and easy way to see if the weapon is a permanent item or how long of a lease it is (i.e. - 10, 30, 180 day lease). For permanent items, can we at least change the text to read [permanent] or something along those lines? And maybe add something to the body of the e-mail that tells you if the item is a permanent item, account or character bound, or a lease for x amount of days? Part of the problem is that when you buy a pack of joker boxes and open them, it does so in one action and you don't see what you get. You have to go back in to game and check the e-mails to see what you opened. And then you can't tell if it is permanent or leased without retrieving the item. Back in the day, when you opened joker boxes, it was one box at a time and it showed you on the same screen what you unboxed. Thoughts on the above? Merged. Also came across [gift] last night. Still, no way to know whether or not it is a perm item account wide, perm item character bound, or a lease of x amount of days without retrieving the item. If changing the subject line is too cumbersome, it would be super helpful if the body of the e-mail explained the length of time and whether or not it is character or account bound. For the subject line, I was thinking something like: [PERM, ACCT] [PERM, CHAR] [LEASE, 10 D] [LEASE, 30 D] [LEASE, 180 D] And, nothing fancy in the body of the email is needed as you can see what the item is in the subject line, as well as by clicking on the attachment (but not retrieving it), just something along the lines of: Permanent, Account bound Permanent, Character bound Lease, x days Anybody else have other subject line and email text naming suggestions on how to differentiate between permanent - account, permanent - character and leases?

God that'd be fucking amazing if they ever did that. Although my wallet wouldn't thank them for it, cause I'd have a bunch of weapons I'd have to pick up account-bound.

See now I'm curious to know what the solution to getting rid of JMB's is gonna be. Simply selling them directly will likely piss off quite a few existing players. Poisoning the remaining pool that much more. So what the heck should be done in that situation to avoid further trouble from an already frustrated playerbase? I mean there are a couple of options. I just worry how effective any of them could truly be. Was there mention of the current plan, or..? Off the top of my head I'm wondering if the goal isn't something like what they did with the Norseman guns. Buy a special premium pack to get the fancy one. Can leave it character/account bound in that instance. Which sorta makes sense for a "fancier" version of a gun to be in a specialty pack in a cash shop tier of it's own, no? Then if they really wanna avoid irritating folks maybe tweak the skins or model a tiny, tiny bit. Making the old versions a rare collectors item. Eh, random thought. Problem there is that wholly removes them from the F2P folks. Which I'm not sure is the right move either. Even if obtaining one is a really boring process, it's still content effectively being removed from them. One less goal to strive for too. Hm.

As is, there is a limit to the number of JT you can earn per week, per character. If you make JT account bound, you are only limited in the number of JT you can farm per week by the total number of characters on your account. It's bad for the players because the game cannot survive without players making ARMAS purchases. Not to say JT shouldn't be easier to farm. Just that a balance must be struck.

I'm still hoping for this to be done. I currently have purchased the character-bound copy from Joker Store, but would like to invest in an account-bound one from ARMAS to have on both my characters.

I like the idea of JT weapons but in my case I plan on more char slots so I would just buy account bound anyways But I'm happy that this will be useful for someone who doesn't want more than the default 2 char slots.

You realize those players also have pretty much every weapon permanent account bound? You need to decide what you're trying to get to. What is your point? All you bring to the table is true but it doesn't change the impact of your suggested money sink in a good way. It just punishes the casual/new players that aren't filthy rich.

I personally think the game itself has never been p2w (see. ntec) but this step is a legit smash to take down p2w apprehension. I think making JT's and bought permanent weapons via contacts account-bound would be a great feature afterall.

Kabuki Skin Collection 799 - character bound 999 - account bound

Lets not forget that Little Orbit has said for a while now that they were doing this. I do not understand why it is such a surprise because of it. As for fundding APB - some people have 10+ chars so they would just buy the gun account bound because it is easier to do so (if they have not already) And new players - there will always be some who buy it account bound since it is easier to do. Never give up on human laziness to get things done quicker and easier

Trash is a pretty strong word. But for me the only legendaries I use (and I've used them all) are the sitting duck the DOW the firework launcher and on occasion, the Thunder. But to give my opinions, Hazardous is just a downgraded 3 slot m1922. The EOL are just inferior grenade launchers. The UL-3 can be used well by some, but there's still little reason to use them over the meta secondaries or even the N-FA 9. The nano is fine, and a good weapon for new or less skilled players, but Id still prefer the FBW to it. (Not to mention the .45 AP or the various RFPs) The reaper, while not s terrible weapon, is just a downgraded scout. The Anubis, for me, simply has no niche in which it outperforms it's counterparts. The commander, much like the RSA is just not great, and for me would never be picked over say the Fang, even with the range difference. The piercing mod may be useful in rare occasions, but IMO that isn't enough to make it worth equipping. The True Ogre is too niche... Unless used on defense with corner to camp, it's just an NFAS with a .99 ttk. The bullshark is just an Obir with a goofy mod, one that for me at least makes it harder to use than the standard Obir. Cap 40 doesn't suck, but again for me is simply outclassed by both the OCA and the Manic, as well as the PMG. The Ursus while not at all a bad gun, is more or less inferior to the NTEC-5. It's worse in cqc, and beyond it's given range, become +1stk before the standard NTEC-5. It does have 1 less stk, but it still has the same ttk as the standard NTEC. The OCSP is just an FBW with +1 stk and a longer ttk. It does have better initial accuracy, but by the 3rd shot has worse accuracy than the FBW. The volcano has its uses, the airbust at max range for instance can be useful, but anywhere the volcano can airbust the OPGL can more efficiently bombard. And as far as just straight up maining the Volcano, you'd be better off just maining the OSMAW. The huntress is a decent weapon, can be modded in several ways, all of which are efficient. It's not really better than the classic carbine, but it's not really worse either. The main reason I don't use it is carpal tunnel syndrome from too much clicking lol. The condor is identical to the other raptors, except for it's unique mod making it invisible on radar for the first 3 shots when full auto, and doesn't appear at all past 50m. While the 3 shots part might be useful in lower level gameplay, it makes little to no difference vs good players, and being invisible past 50m is useless as the base accuracy of the weapon is too poor to hit at that range. For these reasons I see the Condor as only being equal to the other Raptor guns (which I have account bound). The Medusa, while not a terrible weapon, is simply inferior to the Euryale / Stheno which are deadly accurate immediately, whereas the medusa takes time to get there, plus Muzzle Brake works on the non legendaries, making them easier to handle. The Yukon, after the RoF fix is now no better than the other mounties while hipfiring, and is an inferior rfp in marksman mode.

I want to pre order account bound

i'm not opposed to the idea of playing something i wouldn't otherwise for a reward, but why would I grind my patootie off non-stop for a character-bound skin when i can get it later account-bound? i haven't even been able to play riot on NA where all my maxed characters are, so continuing to play on my new eu character would mean that i don't get the skin on the characters i value most, which is just silly to think about.

Yes. You'll be able to buy account bound versions. Understood. The current rewards are just for players that want them for free.

Appreciate the update Matt! Will you be able to buy the skins account bound at a later date, or will they be character bound only?

i understand the spirit of what is being said. yes, it would be great to have a larger player base. and, it is frustrating to not be able to have the same load outs across accounts on servers. i play on jericho and citadel a lot. it is expensive to "dual equip". i always buy account-bound items and not character for this reason when possible. i started on jericho but added my citadel character a year ago because of the dwindling population. but i love the game and don't mind doing so. i think at this time if LO decided to do something like this, jericho might get really sparse. and i don't think you want a single "Europe only" option coming about... especially for us 'merica folks. if you want to know what citadel is like performance wise, just add 100 ms to your current ping time and you'll get the 'citadel experience'

they were at the time i purchased them, i remember it being a big deal because it was the first new clothing pack that g1 had ever introduced as account bound (and because the clothes are all basic) if they arent account bound anymore that might have been something else lost during the revamp as well i'll buy one on a separate account to see if they're still account bound

the sports packs does not say anything about being account bound. am I missing something?

key to the city key to the world pack of revelations juggernaut pack afaik these are the only clothing items available as account bound, the debundled single clothing items from the revelations pack seem to have lost their account bound option at some point during the armas revamp edit - these packs are no longer account bound all stars pack hard hitters pack basketball pack baseball clothing pack hockey clothing pack football clothing pack

The prices are much lower now but I wish account bound was an option for everything in Armas.

Back when G1 was still around, some clothing items were made available, mainly some of the items from the Revelations pack. However, now when I look at those items on Armas there's no option to purchase them as account bound. Can we still buy them as account bound or was that feature scrapped all together?

Well this seems like fun but what about to make it playable this time not like last time with hunting the matt scotts, where the whole fuckin server was lagging like hell and was useless to participate. Whats so hard to make this special titles account bound and not only character bound my god -.- Why only at 4th July and not 5th and 6th July aswell? So other players can have a chance to win something in this "fun" event Anyway good luck to all seems like i need to use aimbot to hit a single shit and able to win something lol
