Tessie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I know it was mentioned that they're considering this. But I'm ready for more character slots now. I have too much time, money (cartel coin unlocks and purchased gear), and effort (rare unlocks) on my characters that I hate to delete them after I max them out. I really want to keep all of my characters together for crafting purposes, so a server transfer just doesn't really work for me. As a player since beta, and a subscriber since launch, I'm still enjoying the game. But what I truly enjoy the most is the leveling process, and I feel like I've hit a frustrating obstacle with the character limit. Please allow us to have more characters per server.

xmarcusprimex Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 There will be those reading this that cannot understand why someone would need more than 22 characters on a server. That's perfectly fine to have that viewpoint, however this only means something really to those that do want the limit raised. I am one such person so this issue is VASTLY important to me. I have my "mains", but having and developing side characters is part of why this game is fun. Its world building (within a legacy) and from a creative RP perspective just plain fun. Also, it certainly encourages me to invest in the game more with money on the cartel market to gear up new characters with all the new outfits coming out as well as mounts and emotes and everything. I can see this limit being raised in conjunction with the Togruta being added as a playable race in the game. If it isn't, well, I cant really spend money on new species as my character slots are currently maxed. So bring it on I say. and the sooner the better.

btmart Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This has been discussed a lot with the dev team, from what I hear in the community streams, the issue that holds them up is server performance issues that increasing it would cause. They say they are trying to figure out a way to do it without causing those issues. I would love more... a bump to 25 at a minimum would be great.

jrwellworth Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I seem to remember Eric posting in a thread for this topic that they would like to raise the character limit but they cannot due to technical limitations or how it would mess with something. Now that's not me trying to rain on parades, I have many friends that are at or around server limit and I would applaud this QoL change. When I get home I will try to find the relevant gold post, if someone hasn't beaten me to it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I suppose with x12 xp having 22 x 60 level 60 isn't a shocker (heck if I never did Ranked or Operations I'd have roughly 22 level 60s too). But I suspect there may be a technical limitation regarding 22 toons. They may have to change some code to allow it - and QA hasn't been the best since 2.7.

Icestar Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) They would sell alot more Togruta unlocks if they raise the character limit when they make that available. I guess they give us a few extra slots then. Edited February 11, 2015 by Icestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcn Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 They would sell alot more Togruta unlocks if they raise the character limit when they make that available. I agree with Icestar. I expect the server character slot limit to be raised in conjunction with the release of Togruta. Bioware has metrics that would show how many players who purchased Cathar -- and are therefore likely to buy Togruta -- already have all 22 server character slots full. My partner and I both fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damask_Rose Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You don't need to have all of your characters maxed to want more slots. I get attached to a character before they get into their 30s and won't delete them. I've tried playing 2 servers and don't find that satisfactory. From what I remember of the last official comment, they basically said they would like to raise the limit, and they are looking into it, but don't hold your breath.

Lunafox Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I disagree with Icestar, I don't think that more than a SMALL percentage of players have 22 max level chars. I'm one? Do I count? Maybe there are others...anyhow...I support the idea of more character slots. I'd gladly pay for them too. Especially when the Togruta come out, I'd like to be able to play them without erasing one of my high lvls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscount Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yup! I want more slots please... 22 Characters at level 60 and waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgettableone Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Another 22er here, 6 (as of tonight) 60's with the rest on 55 (thanks to the x12). I'd love it if the char limit went up to 25 although preferably 30 so I can get the last few species/gender/alignment combo's I missed. Added to the fact that due to x2 and x12 xp's I've not had a normal leveling curve for a while and wouldn't mind a play through from scratch "as intended" in the era of 3.0 just to see what it's like. OT - In an effort to increase the number of 60's - anyone got the link to when the x2 this weekend finishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gold BW post on this topic is in Suggestions Box, but it boiled down to "it would cause issues for the servers, but we would love to give you the ability to have more characters per server."

Joonbeams Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Count me in. First, there are some basics on the numbers. I have one crafting alt leveled somewhere between 12-41 for each of the six crafting professions. Their sole job is crafting for their "family members" (and GTN). Now that leaves "only" 16 slots. I have one of each AC, imp and rep. Slots gone. But I really enjoy leveling and RP so I like to reroll. I'd also like certain AC "specialists" (e.g. dirty fighting slinger, marksman slinger, etc.). But to do that, I have to delete alts. Please gives us more slots. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I already have 21/22. I have played recently my IAs and just finished Taris yesterday but I already love that story. I want to create more IAs. But looks like I have to delete some of my lowbie duplicate classes (Sorc 14, Sage 20) and level those crew skills again. It does make more sense to have Slicing on Agent, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItachiZaku Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 At first, i was like, WFT, 22 isn't enough??? But, as others have said, sometimes it's not having max level raid toons level of development. I like having a big "family" in my legacy, originally it was 1 level 3 mirulaku consular dude with a bunch of sith chicks, but then i built a ton of jedi side, but i liked the idea of having 3 daughters, or 2, with the other not being force user that's just a friend, and she has her little thing, but then the other two have daughters and so on down. so the 60s have the mid 40s offspring, and then those 40s have level 20s etc My toons have lots of intercourse.

Tessie Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just had one of my children assassinated last night. At least that's how it felt when I deleted a character that I've had for over two years. There was also a large credit and cartel coin loss. He had been a crafter who knew most of his skills schematics. He had custom cartel gear and many perks unlocked via cartel coins. I had to level that crew skill on a different character, which is time consuming and expensive; in both credits and materials. Some schematics are no longer obtainable. I realize none of these things are the end of the world, but as I mentioned, its frustrating and discourages me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik-Lindholdt Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Some people cant understand the need to have many characters, but MOST actually do. Personally, my reason for having many characters isnt a desire for "completion", having a dark/light/neutral, male/female of every class. i got more or less past that by have a male of one advanced, female of the other, and 1 dark 1 light the same way. What i want more characters for, is: 1) having more of the same class, to be able to avoid the damned lockouts. the upcomming outfit designer will work towards this, as the horrible looks of legacy gear wont matter anymore. thats probably an additional 2-3 characters of the same class of my most favourite for both HM and SM content play. 2) now that they intend to make items for nullifying exp-gain, i would like at least a melee and ranged dps, healer and a tank for both lvl 29 lowlvl pvp, and 59 as well. thats an additional 8 characters. 3) i have already filled my 22 character slots during 12x exp boost.. took around 10 hours, to a maximum of 20 hours per character to lvl 55. 4) i HATE deleting characters... even if i dont really play them much anymore 5) i have already tried moving some characters i dont play much to another server. that is not satisfactory for me, as i enjoy playing socially with friends, and i often do that "on the character i am already signed into". so playing on another server cuts me off from everything social except Teamspeak, and not being capable of playing with my friends on several characters is annoying.. 6) i do still enjoy the class stories, even though i have been through them all in both light and dark, and a few in neutral. neutral isnt much different, except if you are a force-user. and there are many more valid reasons.. but having more than 22 characters isnt nessecarily the same as having for tthan 22 lvl 60's, Especially the part about the upcomming exp-nullifiers will raise my desire to get more low-lvl characters. Many more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
