Character slots increase to 12 or 16 pls

[Bobiefatt]

I hope they are considering this.

 

Im actually running out on slots.

Not al my alts are 50 (3x 50, 29, 28, 25, 19, 12) , but all those slots are filled with all character advanced classes on Empire side.

Stil have to explore the republic side of the game.

 

And i don't want to make new charaters on a new server.

 

Will we see an increase in slots soon?

I did the same as you, but with republic: had 8 on one and 8 on another server for imperial. I deleted 4 and made 4 imps so I could be on 1 server

 

Republic / Imp

light shadow female / dark sorc male

light commando female / dark powertech male

dark guardian female / light marauder male

dark smuggler male / light sniper female

 

if you use a combo like that you get a very good set of very different characters with very different class stories.

well but this doesn't work for everyone, now does it?

 

let's just say you like the smuggler story so much that you want to play it twice, and since you realised that playing a sniper is a lot of fun you want to give the gunslinger a go... put a little twist in it too, playing the other gender maybe, or pick other ds/ls choices. and say you like healing on your scoundrel, but would also like to know how playing that dps works... why not roll the operative dps? I tell you why not: because you have no spots left - and when you play on a different server you will not have people around that you know, not forgetting to mention your legacy perks, your crafting, your credits...

 

while you can respec your classes of course, it's really not the same as playing completely different styles. and while in theory a sage and a sorcerer are the same, throwing rocks and shooting lightning is just a completely different feeling

I thought the same way, then I did the 4x4 combo and I don't regret it one bit. Everybody is different though. *shrug*

 

Dual Spec is coming in the future

 

That's why the 4x4 is the best thing to do, till they add more slots, then you can go back to the 8x8 combo.

Conclusion: I want 16 character slots too, but some times you gotta help yourself.

I've 6 lvl50 chars and already deleted 3 lvl30 chars to free slot and enjoy other classes of the game, 12 or 16 slots could save the game for me.

[TooFastLX]

I also wish there were 16 slots. I want to be able to play 2 characters of each class, so the server I play on is all Imp. I am dying to try the Rep side of things (which I did on the test server), but would have to go to a different server to do so.

whoa holy eyecancer!

 

what's that got to do with dual spec? dual spec will still mean I will have to play my scoundrel a way I don't want to. dual spec for me will mean one spec for pve and one for pvp. it will not mean I will sometimes heal and sometimes dps. that's what my operative is for.

 

I know how to 'help' myself, thank you very much.

[dprijadi]

i think additional CHARACTER SLOT should be added , but with some rules :

 

- only ppl who already got 8 toons , each minimum at level 10.

- only for people who got legacy and already reached certain legacy levels

 

this way it prevents lv1 alts and clogging the server with unplayed toons

Was just a possible solution, while we wait - hoping for additional character slots.

 

Wasn't meant as an offensive statement

They absolutely need 12 and ideally 16 slots per server ASAP.

Same here

 

I'm after no less than 16 slots per server.

[Thermonuked]

i completely agree, i've spent months building up all my characters, crewskills and money, not to mention the 45 legacy levels, starting over from scratch on a new server, just doesnt seem like a viable alternative, and what about all the legacy upgrades? starting on a new server will obviously mean they go too, so all the species i've unlocked will be pointless as i have 8 characters already, "oh i can make a twi'lek bounty hunter, or a chiss jedi knight, but which one of my level 50's should i delete?"

 

legacy should unlock 1 extra slot per 5 legacy levels, sure, there will be some level 1 name holders, but they should be in the minority if you have to play in order to unlock the extra slots, whereas giving everyone an extra bunch of slots to play with will see a huge influx of name holders.

[dprijadi]

just dont go like Funcom's upcoming The Secret World route, they only give 3 character slot and additional $20 for each additional character slot

That sounds a lot like APB reloaded, they only give you two slots.

[amnie]

Final Fantasy only gives you ONE slot

 

 

I don't know how exactly the Secret World is approaching it, but can't you basically learn every skill and unlearn them? I'm thinking that is probably the reason, because in both Final Fantasy online games that's basically what it's about. you can do everything with your char apart from changing the race....

[natashina]

I just wanted to come in here and show my full support for this idea.

 

For me, the reason why I want the character slot increased to 10 at the very least is due to Legacy race unlocks. I don't want to have to spend 1.5 mil to buy the unlock nor delete a level 50. 10 races for only 8 slots? I'm really happy with my alt-itis, but if BW wants the player base to take full advantage of Legacy, they need to add in more slots. I'd prefer up to 14, that way the player can not only have all the races unlocked, but have a couple of the same race. Thanks restarting this thread topic.

[MasterKayote]

I used to be fine with 8 but at the rate im going (missing my AA meetings to play the game ) im going to need all 16 class and a/c's.

 

Good god I hope I never end up wanting to play the same exact class and ac just to see what the DS side will look like.

[redsovereign]

/signed this

 

8 slots is faaar too few slots if you are going to make use of the legacy system. Increase it to at least 12 slots

[Mallorik]

I hope they are not wasting any resources on this right now. people that want 9 characters can wait until the game isnt doing a nose dive at mach4 into the dirt.

[Ceryk]

The advanced classes have equal counterparts on either side that identical. The game only has 8 classes, not 16. I realize that there are some people, who for some reason or another, would want to play the exact same class multiple times, but the point of the way it's set up is so that you don't. The point is that you play one on on side and the other on the other so you get both stories without having to play the same class twice. Games are usually set up for the average player and the average player isn't likely to play a single class multiple times (or on the reverse side, those Highlander types who believe that there can be only one.)

 

Short of them adding more classes to the game or merging the servers into single-server-per-play-type servers, I don't see them adding more character slots.

All I know is - I want to have more alts, but I can't and still retain the legacy that I've built. I have two friends that just started the game and I wanted to level up from 1 with them, but I haven't been able to, because all my characters are 20+, and it's stupid that I'd have to delete characters.

 

 

Make it 24 character slots per server, please!

[TheOnlyKyrenS]

First, spell "please" correctly. Second, no.

[guardian_titan]

I was talking to my brother about this the other day and was thinking about this for a few weeks prior to bringing it up with him. Why can't additional character slots be a legacy unlock? Like:

Legacy level 10 - unlock 1 additional character slot

Legacy level 25 - unlock 2 additional character slots

Legacy level 40 - unlock 2 additional character slots

Legacy level 50 - unlock 3 additional character slots

Then for those that are at legacy level 50 have 8 additional character slots (16 in total). It also gives players a reason to get to 50 with legacy. I'm at legacy level 47 now with 8 level 50 toons with nothing to really buy. Most of the 1.3 patch stuff is for those still leveling toons but hardly anything for someone like me with everyone at max or close to max level. Adding additional character slots would give someone like me a reason to buy those xp bonus legacy perks. Bioware can even add on a cost to each legacy slot. Pay like a million credits to unlock each slot or something. So to get all 8 slots would cost 8 million credits. Perhaps have the cost scale with each slot purchased so slot 1 is a million, slot 2 is 2 million, slot 3 is 4 million, etc. Would result in a cost of 255 million that way which is a bit insane so maybe the price caps out at like 10 million per slot or something. Would also have to take into account future expansions, but we know we're getting new playable races by the end of the year which makes the desire for additional character slots even more desired.

 

I'm all for more character slots. If that doesn't come to pass, then I'll settle for legacy across all servers. Given how high my legacy is now, I don't really want to reroll on another server to start from nothing all over again just to see the other side of some stories or play a different advanced class.
