Jacen_Starsolo Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I was in STO recently and there you get a small area of your bank to be an account bank. Then you have to pay for more slots. Why doesn't TOR have this too? I'm shocked they didn't see the CM potential and jump on this already.

I would tend to agree that, with the number of alts that people have in this particular game, this suggestion will gain strong support. I surely would be in favor of it.
Alduinsm Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Info from the last Cantina Tour : legacy/account bank is pretty high on their priority list (they're working on it i assume).

I admit I don't pay attention to those. Too much PR speak for my tastes. But if this is true, then good news.
Atma Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Not only banks, but I'd like a Legacy wide credit system as well. Having one credit pool would be very convenient.
melodylane Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Not only banks, but I'd like a Legacy wide credit system as well. Having one credit pool would be very convenient. I agree with this immensely!
Nickious Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Not only banks, but I'd like a Legacy wide credit system as well. Having one credit pool would be very convenient. Yes this would be nice as well.
Jacen_Starsolo Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Not only banks, but I'd like a Legacy wide credit system as well. Having one credit pool would be very convenient. From a sub PoV, good idea. From a premmie or freebie player, not so much. Although it would be nice if the account bank could incorporate this by letting us deposit credits into the account bank like we can a guild bank.
monkeydud Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I am in favour of both ideas, Legacy storage and legacy bank. To be honest these fit in perfectly with the whole `legacy` idea. What star roving family wouldn't have a central access for their assets.? Might I add one more idea though.. Legacy Mail retrieval. I have 5 alts and sell quite alot of stuff on the GTN. It sure would be nice to withdraw all my profits/unsold items in one go.
lizziandme Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I totally agree with this - I have 14 alts and my main character and to be able to link their 'assets' into one bank would be amazing!! Never thought of including the mail system in this, but that would be awesome too!! Hope the devs are really considering this addition, it would make alot of subscribers very happy
Rankyn Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I'd imagine that there's some sort of tech barrier to making a Legacy mailbox but I'd imagine that the same system that allows for guild banks could be adapted to make a Legacy bank assuming that the faction flag doesn't create a significant roadblock.
LordArtemis Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I had suggested a legacy cargo bank that would serve both purposes. It would be common cargo that one could use across all toons in the legacy, and also have a deposit and withdrawal ability for EC. IMO it should have the same expandability as your personal cargo, and restrictions on the use of the bank part that are similar to normal EC restrictions for preferred and free players naturally. Finally I suggested an unlimited mail legacy unlock for characters on your legacy. It would allow you, as preferred (not free) to mail to other characters in your legacy without restrictions. All three would greatly improve QoL, especially with crafting IMO.
sabbey Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Not only banks, but I'd like a Legacy wide credit system as well. Having one credit pool would be very convenient. Both of those have been on my wishlist for the game since the beginning... I would love to see it happen sooner than later though.

It sure would be nice to withdraw all my profits/unsold items in one go. Not poo-poo-ing your idea, but with a legacy wide cargo and credits pool, you could simply sell all your stuff on one character. I like the idea, and I am glad that BW is working on it, but one of the "tech barriers" is that of implementation. They will most likely charge CCs for access, which in turn most likely means a third cargo space "interface" and a separate "bank" which all legacy characters can deposit into and withdraw from. This would avoid the exploit and abuse of dropping BoP items into what is effectively a BoL area, but will crafters be able to draw materials from it automatically (like they can now do with their cargo hold) or will they have to take the time to manually pull stacks of materials out in order to craft? Will it mean having to sacrifice character cargo bay tabs; as the engine may have a finite "storage capacity?" My point is don't expect this to be implemented any time soon.

LordArtemis Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Any bound item, except BoL would not be allowed to be placed in the legacy bank. That prevents bound items from being accessed by other characters on your account.
GalacticKegger Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Maybe not account banks (so every toon on every server has access to essentially everything every other toon in the account has) ... but Legacy banks would be cool. Edited August 19, 2013 by GalacticKegger
Andryah Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I would tend to agree that, with the number of alts that people have in this particular game, this suggestion will gain strong support. I surely would be in favor of it. I assume the OP means server specific account wide (ie: Legacy) here. Because there is no way they are ever going to allow multi-server account wide cargo. Unless it comes with a lot of full size cargohold style tabs (at least 5) .. it's more trouble then it's worth IMO. If it were expensive to mail stuff across your account... it would be very much needed. But mail is exceedingly cheap in this MMO. I'm not averse to the idea.. I'm just saying.. it needs to be LOTS of space or it's more trouble then it's worth. I have 5 characters (with 5 tabs each) that just do organized storage on my account. But I also have them all organized well by category so they are really easy to maintain. Edited August 19, 2013 by Andryah

CrazyMcGee Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Well considering how much support this idea always has on the forums, I am sure BW are looking at it (assuming they think the forums are representative of the wider base - but I'm not sure who wouldn't want this). If it was a CM item, they'd make a fortune, so I have to assume either there is some technical problem that stops this working, or they are on it As guild banks basically already do this, I can't see there being a problem, unless it's cross-factional? Or they are concerned it could be exploited some way.
rlionherz Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 not just an acc/legacy bank, also an legacy wide comendation pool would be great
GatorAndy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) not just an acc/legacy bank, also an legacy wide comendation pool would be great This is completely different, as comms are not mail-able currently. Caps would have to be greatly increased. Although it's possible to run Ops on multiple characters and use all comms/gear drops to gear up a single character now, this would make it even easier to quickly burn through content, IMO. This is something they don't necessarily want to push right now. You can simply buy gear with comms and use legacy gear to mail mods now. On the legacy bank, I wouldn't mind seeing tabs with names/icons as well, similar to the guild banks, but multiples of each allowed. (crafting mats 1, 2, 3, etc) Building it into the current cargo hold would be the way to go, I would think, rather than ANOTHER interface. Assuming this would have access from the ships, it would take up additional space if it weren't integrated into the current one. I sort of envision a separate tab across the top for legacy (on the far right, maybe), then tabs down the left side like guild bank once in the legacy top tab. Edited August 19, 2013 by GatorAndy

And yes, I should have said Legacy Bank instead of Account Bank as others seemed to misunderstand what I meant. I don't think they'd do one across servers but if they can, go for it. lol
