Buyers Beware Once Human

I think this is very predatory to make people pay more then once to get cosmetics if you play on more then one server. Cosmetics should be unlocked for your account not just for the server that you purchased it on.

This is old news man, they already said there going to make it bound to account in august.

Server decision is not something new, I have always made damn sure I pick the one my friends are on because I fully expect to lose any progress if I switch. WoW had paid server transfers, thats all they need to do and you can keep your stuff.

I thought the server population users that are currently logged into the server but I don't really know for sure. Also the cosmetics being server based was kind of the reason I thought they initially only wanted one server per account. Also server pops got exacerbated with the new beta rewards being transferred from Netease to a steam account. I like every other steam user that wanted the Beta gear had to redownload the game on Netease and make a throw away character on a server that will never be used again.

This happened because during release people were upset about only 1 character which was compounded because people were on wrong servers, could not play with friends, could not get into a server because full, so could not even play on another server, etc. So they rushed out a patch to let people have more then one character. The side effect was the system was still set up for that original character to get the items because that's how they made the game.
And as said by others, there is a patch in august that will make it all account bound. That includes any previous purchases. So this will mean any character on any server will inherit these purchases. They did make a point to mention cosmetics only, never usable items *which makes sense.

I'm pretty sure they said they're going to fix that. It's tied to only having 1 character, that they fixed in the first week.

[edwardpaddock]

They did say recently, they are going to change the cosmetics you buy so you have them on all your characters by August.

Based on the choices needed when linking my game to Twitch to get the Twitch drops, I even think that things are not just server bound but specifically character bound. I have this theory since I needed to choose a specific character to link to twitch.

[Cameroo]

Yeah, the server thing really pissed me off. Exact same thing happened too me. I hope they do something about playing with friends. They really need too do something about that cosmetic thing. it's horrid and is not going to fly. It's a real shame because I love the game loop of exploring, fighting, base building. I'd hate to see them do something so shitty.

I was doing my usual of holding off on dropping any money until I felt it was worth it, dipped into a second server and found that the battlepass progress was unique which is fair enough for a free player but not a system I'll buy into.

To play devils advocate, they did initially plan on one character per account by design which would explain the cash shop not covering multiples so this could be an oversight that's being worked on to get sorted rather than them pulling an EA.

edited: you did not see the devs reply on this issue did you, aperantly they said this
cosmectics are character bound only atm because the original system was only meant for players to have one character, they have openly stated that in august cosmetics will be account bound

[DavidKarapetjan]

Sorry wak but this is partial misinformation sharing. They have already multiple times on multiple occasions shared the info on how they have decided to change these practices with skins, and in august patch they shall make all cosmetics account bound and not server/character bound. If you want more info check latest pirate software vid on this topic. In regards to duplicate cosmetics they have shared that they will refund the costs of what people have paid. I hope you guys go on enjoying the game for it is and with the heart that this issue will be settled.

[capatheist]

3:07 why would it include the build sets? Those are blueprints not cosmetics, and blueprints are listed on the inheritence page

[Siyximus]

Thanks for the video Wak, I think the bigger takeaway from this is that they are doing a very poor job of communicating how almost anything in this game works.

[ill-fatedgamer]

Also found out the hard way with a battle pass. I guess they meant for us to only have one character at first and changed their mind and are going to fix it but i am not sure just hear/say for me at this point

[Cyberzonion]

The Deviants look like they ripped off 'The Matrix' for the design.

[libworks]

They have said that they will be fixing this in Aug.
It will be bound to account in a couple of weeks

[joesire]

I learned this the hard way too. This def needs to change... They need to utilize the steam inventory system like other games.

[maxhad]

Still no one mentions that you have to disable adguard/pihole to run this game - that was the dealbreaker for me.

[pxrdition]

Dude, they said over a week ago that this is being fixed.

[plasticsword]

I'm going f2p on this one. Noone in their right mind would spend 40$ for a rare armor skin. The "buy once for each server" means they don't care about customers, only about their money.
