the text you circled is always present whether an item is account bound or not

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'

You announced BR - despite nobody even asking for it. You tested BR - and decided to ignore most of suggestions. You released BR... and it turned out exactly as "pessimists" like me expected. Awful. Badly done. Unfinished. Done against will of community. What is so bad in it?: Big clans groups dominating, solo players. (For me personally, biggest offense. It was risen as possible issue by me back then. You said your team gonna fix it @MattScott. My proposition was to randomize team despite groups. You didn't make sure that will be thing in the end. Now being solo in this game is punishment.) Cheaters teams which prevent you from winning. (Above issue + EAC at work ladies and gentlemen) Small population essentialy kill chances of winning ever (If I run in the same groups six times despite changing matches... something ain't right in that BR, right?) Boredom between fights. (Finding loot zzz...) Boredom between matches. (Waiting for team to die, loading, eventually crashing, waiting for it to verify files and joining game again ._. ... I can't even make that up...) Crashes (the weaker the PC, the bigger the chance - users of low-end and medium-end PCs be aware). Bad spawn system (Near border of non-contaminated zone is fine but way too often I spawn in gas half-way across map, with no possible chance to even reach desitination - even then borders usually are camped by other team. + Separation from teams while spawning + If I pay for respawn... why I don't have choice WHERE to respawn?) Bribing at the end (Excuse me... why we even collect that cash... if "bribing" means bribing with non-existent cash in king-of-the-hill style? - encourage camping at finale zone as well) - after investigating it longer, it turns out bribes come from team account. Locked finale zone (The fact that you can localize finale zone (just look for zone which have no RIOT device) - means that teams are bound to camp on it, while others who do RIOT devices can do shit) Legging it across map (Boring. Boring. BOOOORING. Stray cars on the street. Too much to ask? Why even put OSMAW or LMGs, if you don't plan to put in usable vehicles?) The fact that all RIOT devices don't self-activate over some time. (Self-explanatory. That moment when all teams are in finale zone but one of RIOT devices isn't activated somewhere between 3 zones near finale one - if RIOT devices would self-activate randomly after some time... this wouldn't be a problem.) Lack of any background sounds or music + Sounds from normal APB like in action which don't fit in deserted San Paro environment (adds to boredom and kills mood of this BR) Incomplete tutorial (Sure. 4 steps... what about more? Like bribing stage is not explained...) Respawns on it's own (with connection of bad spawn system - honestly? I would prefer permadeath. At least it would be more fair to me and others... and would let me search other game instead of dying few times in row because I can't find any serious weapon in finale stage.) Strange lore (This is first time where lore made little sense to me. Lead me to believe that this was even more rushed that you want us to believe.) Very repetitive gameplay. (Honestly after 10 matches... I felt pretty much bored. Even FC is less repetitive in feel - and that's achievement taking FC is usually TDM or capture the point in huge group of people) Weapon roles don't count in RIOT (Honestly... just why? Makes little sense in this BR.) Bribing stage. You killed every enemy team? TOUGH LUCK. This who bribed most auto-win! (The fuck was this shit? I won for FIRST time since 3 days. But game said I didn't. Why? Because they bribed driver HIGHER. How does it even make sense?! Corpses gonna drive out from zone?! And who gonna carry them?! Team which lost?! Lore-wise, function-wise and fairness-wise this is idiotic as hell.) 16 people TO START (Yeah, good luck keeping this gamemode alive after month. FC dies because there are only 2-3 people always missing to start it and you want to keep regulars at RIOT? Ha. Good joke. Quick glance at will.io/apb and they will resign.) Three easy achievements and one impossible (You all though wins gonna be easy to achieve, right? Ten fucking wins. Are you mad? And all of it JUST for 100 JTs.) ~ (Sidenote: I'm gonna farm this achievement so badly by rigging RIOT and I dare you to ban me. Credibility is lost. I see people rigging up this thing already for wins. Congratulations.) What is so good in it?: ...I guess pretty much nothing... Oh wait. JTs and Yakuza skin (Looks very good). What this gamemode remind you of?: ...Autumn Assault... Seriously. Start to work on it and addressing at least SOME of this issues. This gamemode is already on it's path to death. Just as expected by me. Hope you take it to heart and fix it. Because honestly? After all this rant I think it got potential... but this issues must be addressed and I mean ASAP.

considering little orbit has charged five dollars for a single standalone clothing item (a hat) i think this price is ok the lack of an account bound option is definitely frustrating, especially with little orbits continued promises to transform armas into a more consumer friendly storefront

People who have played 1000+ hours on a game that's barely even alive and all you see that loyalty valued at is barely even a single account-bound gun? Are you being serious? That's laughable at the highest degree.

On a serious note, always happy to see new content. For the love of god, tell me this is an account bound pack. So many packs are already missing that option. I look forward to buying it and maybe possibly one day using it. G1 releasing something that is unbalanced or broken, that'd never happen. *Glances at the trouble Maker & Yukon*

I REQUIRE MORE MACHO MAN GIFS. I'll be there, will the title be account wide or just character bound?

Wow, I had no idea I just Googled "APB Vegas Rocker Bundle" and used the first armas link. Found it on the PC store - it's under Vehicle Bundles and not Gear - but yeah no mention of Character or Account bound unless you where it says "These will be mailed to the character currently logged in." technically that implies character-bound. But the no nonsense console version seems a little easier to understand. Merged. I did a thing. @LO - you're welcome and you can pay me in JTs.

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.

50$ for a reskin of a weapon thats account bound. Don't get me wrong i like spending money on stuff i like but yeah, I'm not gonna pay a triple A price for a reskin. Also account bound clothing when?

Sale still going when g1c cost is reduced? At the moment prices are still ridiculous when buying account bound. Just make them the price character bound weapons are. Wanting to get 3 weapons, looking at the price I need to pay for them holds me off. $65 for three account bound :(.

It's not a droprate. Loyalty rewards are purely based on how much G1C you spend which is the real money currency in APB. When you spend X amount, you get certain weapons and every X amount G1C you get boxes and 15-day premium codes as well (which are bound to your account). The drop rate of the things that drop from those boxes is a different thing altogether though.

How about making some Vehicle bundles/Clothing packs Account bound while you're at it?

I mean... 95$ (76$ if premium) for probably the worst gun(s) in APBs history? I think all the items are still way too expensive, especially considering APBs current state and population. You can get multiple AAA games on steam for the price of one account bound weapon. But at least the shredder doesn't cost 50$ anymore, so that's nice.

Wow. Im sad to say this but this has been such a disappointment. The bottom two points might not have been integrated with the new changes. Since Matt said only a lil has been done so far 1) From the new layout, I cant see all my prem codes that have been rotting away for years. I have to go thru the old layout to see my codes. 2) My account purchase history doesnt show my previous weapon purchases, I have to go to the old layout. 3) Like everyone mentioned, no timer for prem, Im sure you guys forgot. 4) Rewards 5) Where did the link to ARMAS on the forum go? Now I have to google "apb armas" to get there Biggest disappointment of all are the prices. I dont shop often, its been years but dam is everything still very expensive. I can comfortably say that my 5k g1c will keep rotting until the prices come down. Its sad but I PREFER Tiggs flash/random 50% off sales. I bought majority of the weapons that way. Ive included a screenshot. THESE ARE REASONABLE PRICES!! This is in addition to buying those boxes that gave the act44 and a choice of a primary. These are Char bound. You can see the NTEC is more expensive now than when I bought it at full price. Its now 2,799 g1c.

You better give us the option to just buy everything account bound as a bundle on armas. Easy money for you and less grind for the people who want it on 12 characters.

@MattScott @Lixil - Since they don't seem to be offered as rewards for ingame activities, can you guys add the various glow in the dark Halloween weapon skins to ARMAS (ideally with an account-bound bundle option)? Pretty much the only reason I give even the slightest of fucks about the Halloween events. Unless they've changed the system, the pumpkins aren't in the same places for everyone.

I buy items on armas as much as anyone. it is my choice as much as anyone's to spend for account bound. it is not anyone's choice when a hardware part breaks. no justification to slander Little Orbit over part breaking end of story.

It seems Page 16 (Potshot) and Page 15 (Conspiracy) symbols can be bought over Armas, although I'm not too sure if it's account bound since I've never bought them myself. However, Page 13, 14, 17, 18 seems to be unlock able through certain game events that run one time per year. The problem is some people don't have the time to go through all their characters if they choose to unlock every single page of symbols before the event ends. These pages don't seem to be purchasable through Armas either. Another issue would be that some symbols are made on different characters and can only be editable through that one character instead of the account itself. There should be a way to unlock these pages account wide since not everyone has the time to go through the events all year round.

These are Baggy Jeans, which are currently only available from the Armas Marketplace. There are a few ways to obtain them: by purchasing the Street RX Outfit pack for 476 G1C (or 381 G1C with the Premium discount). This will give you the Baggy Jeans for the character you log into Armas with. (Pack contents will vary depending on the gender of your character.) by purchasing the Urban RX Bundle for 3,084 G1C (or 2,467 G1C with the Premium discount). Click this --> Enforcer Urban RX Bundle <-- to see the store page for Enforcer characters. Click this --> Criminal Urban RX Bundle <-- to see the store page for Criminal characters. This will give you the same clothing items as the previous option, but will also include a 4-slot Charge Mikro with cosmetic kits, and the ISSR-B "Wisp" sniper rifle, permanent for the character you buy the bundle for. (Pack contents will vary depending on the gender and the faction of your character.) by purchasing the Key to the World bundle for 15,999 G1C (or 12,799 G1C with the Premium discount). While this is hands down the most expensive option on the table, this bundle will give you exclusive 3D Glasses, three guns, two cars with cosmetic kits, two clothing packs (Street RX Outfit included), all Country Flag weapon skins and the Gold weapon skin — all of it account-bound; you will always have these items on every single character on your account, including the characters you haven't even created yet. If you only have one character and you only want the pants, I'd say the first option is the cheapest and the best.

Kekw. This shows how absolutely incompetent some of LO's employees at this point. Not gonna blame the whole company itself but damn.. Also, as I said few times and gonna say more, Armas needs Rework. Account bounded packs, more info, BETTER and ZOOMABLE item screenshots, less faction-exclusiveness, etc, etc.. By the way, it's 2020 and some clothing items really needs other items to be worn? Wtf,why i can't put glasses on forehead without that ugly hat? Also these shoulderpads, not LO's fault that clothing is in bad state rn, but I don't sure removing mentioned "requirements" is hard for them. Sry for bad English but I have to say this.

Ya sure? I'm pretty sure that half of playerbase have bought it account/char bounded already, the other half is just fine with contact's ones.

Interesting to see how much of G1's old philosophy around monetizing the game LO will dismantle. A few questions: Does the discount on Joker Store clothing apply if you bought the item on Armas? Will the Joker Store clothing items cost APB$ to buy from the clothing booth? Will this affect the clothing packs already in Armas? Any plans to make all of them account bound?

If you have the money, I'd always advise to go down the G1C route and buy account bound guns. The Joker Ticket system for character bound guns is mostly meant for Free-2-Players who don't want to spend a dime on the game. If you want a legendary then sure, buy JT but keep in mind that you can still buy legendaries from the auction house (marketplace in social) for APB$ which you will get anyway through playing. If you aren't desperate for any of the legendaries, it might be better to keep your money for JT in your wallet or just buy other stuff from Armas. Generally speaking, legendaries aren't that great to begin with save for the Ursus or something.
