Ashember Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) OK, here is the Idea for the Legacy system. Shared Character Bank So how many times a day do you switch Char to find that one freakin mat you need to make that piece for your friend/guild-mate. What if you had one bank for your toons, that you can pull mats and shared Items from. or you buy a tab in your bank that is a "Shared Character Tab" that you can put tradable items in, Like Mats, BOE armor, weapons and such. This could be a legacy perk. Kinda like a personal guild bank. Maybe on top of that a Shared Money pool. You won't have to create an alt just for a guild bank any more. What do you all think?

PunisherAS Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think its a great idea. I'm still waiting for the day I can switch over a Columi pattern over to someone else on my family tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberBladeUK Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think it would just be easier to mail yourself the items you need. It does getting when you forget sending something but unless the Legacy Bank did something special, like trading BoP items between character, I wouldn't see it being greatly needed other than another bay to store stuff.

Antaka Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think its an awesome idea. Having this would save a lot of time just from eliminating load times. 10/10 on the idea scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
System_TOR Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Had this in Aion, but was known as an account bank, and yeah I liked it a lot, would really like it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RokDalor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not only do i support your idea i offer one of my own A friends list that is sharded between ALL charactes of the same faction on a server, last night i actually had a minor stroke adding some 50 names to friends list on 2 new characters. For anyone wondering, i rolled a Republic Rattataki sage and a Republic Sith Smuggler, the best part was, i had some guy scream at me in general for "hacking the game" and getting my Imperial character to his home world!

JPSimonetti Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Anyone who has had their own personal guild with a guild bank in a certain other MMO will attest that having a personal guild bank/shared storage is amazingly invaluable. Mailing stuff back and forth is a pain, and with no mods for us alt-o-holics to show which of our characters have what items in their storage, it is very time consuming (let's face it, loading characters takes a relatively silly amount of time). I like the idea of having a shared cargo hold and I don't believe it would be terribly hard to implement. I'd be all for it even if it meant sacrificing a current cargo hold tab. Next month we'll see it for 30,000,000 credits and Legacy level 50. Watch ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAgony Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I agree, and think you ripped a hole in the time-space continuum and peeked right in my mind last night. I had this idea while messing about with the new UI features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizber Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Im about 90% sure this was mentioned at the guild summit, and the Devs loved the idea and it was something they would look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashember Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Id like a legacy motor pool as well. Totally didn't think about that. Although it could ruin the individualism of your toons. That's for the powers that be to decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyvim Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Good idea...would be nice if your bank was open across all your toons, with tabs for specific toons...that would rock. But yes, sharing is wonderful....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathMutant Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I miss shared bank slots too, coming from both EQ2 and Aion, but I believe the devs have said something analogous to "just use the mail system, that is why postage is so cheap and items appear instantly to characters on the same account." I would accept that workaround -- if it did not take me 2-3 minutes to switch between characters! Shared bank slots +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FooBard Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Shared bank space will come in time. All MMO's have it. None have it at launch.. It's one of those "non-priority" items they get around to - in time. Give it time. Don't think for a moment this isn't something on their "to do list". After all, the game designers are "gamers" themselves. Edited April 27, 2012 by FooBard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheroras Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Other games have shared bank space so why not SWTOR? We could also use legacy housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goregrinder Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is a great idea, if we could at least have a thing to look in our alt's bags that would be great but this idea would just be amazing, especially if you could use it to give one of your legacy characters on the opposing faction stuff, allegiances aside they are family after all.
