What about the people hoarding names just for the specific use to sell the name? No intentions whatsoever to play, farm seasonals etc... just name selling. Upvoted for more character slots.
lol valid point, i just know that if the cap is increased I will end up with probably well over 100 characters instead of close to 90........
Crazy bit of a recommendation here. I also like creating alts, though most of them I realize cannot be played at a competitive level. As a result, I actually opened multiple accounts and get them at least to Premium. That $5 investment gets you 6 new slots for characters. But more importantly, it gets you an extra trip through Stabilizers every day to earn an additional 4 fragments. There are disadvantages, like not being able to use style unlocking from your main account, or feat unlocking, or to trade account-bound drops. But if the characters aren't going to be played at the endgame level, they'll survive just fine. And you'll only have to play them for a few minutes per day to finish up Stabilizers and get that permanent advantage of doubling your daily fragments.
Hmm, that's not a bad idea but as I mentioned I'm grinding usually for episodic gear and buy base items mostly through broker or vendors, styles can also be unlocked via replays. I'm not sure I can afford another member or two, that's more expensive than buying a few slots of characters in my country's currency.
The base items are chiefly tradable, so if the second account is Premium (one time purchase) it can trade them to your main. Styles come in all flavors: character bound, account bound, and tradable. I find the 16 characters on my main account are more than enough to farm all the account-bound stuff. Extra accounts aren't chiefly characters I play much, beyond running Stabilizers and clicking "Gimme a free mark" every day. Most of their Source Marks get converted over to the tradable Catalysts anyways.
I'll be the captain obvious, but when you play as alt, the first thing you should understand is that this is not the main character this is a niche character When you realize this, everything becomes possible because a niche, it can be different, it can be a seasonal farmer, it can be a base builder, a cosplayer ... your alt can even be as strong as your main character. Alt must cope with a given role and not compete with the main character (well, except that he has such a role ), if he copes with it, then this alt is at a "serious level" So yes, plus to increase ... the number of alts, bases ... and even league halls ...
They're supposed to be "alts"?! Oh my. I have 32 mains. I am not sure what this "alt" is of which you speak. If they were to give me 50 more slots they would STILL be mains . I play every toon I have on a regular basis. I am sooooo with you on this one.
Base system kind of needs to be reworked in some regard imho but I don't have nay ideas so I typically shut up. Character slots, I'd personally love more of without going out of my way to buy... I have a bad case of alt-itis and I would have loved to have even more alts for the anniversary event, not to mention I would have loved all 15 powersets on both factions as well as an insurance policy in the event that more powers are released. Also, hello Zoe!
And I agree about the base system. Do you mean you want your characters to fight along side you or just have more characters so you can farm more?
Why, more alts to farm with, of course! This anniversary was an event where it would have been useful to have all these alts, yeah...
im mean.... yeah to each their own but i dont see this happening as the sever can probably on handle but so much. i would say with be happy in what you have.
