Character "delete timer"?

Seraphayel

Is there a thing like this?

I created some characters to test how they look best (you all know the very authentic character creation screen lighting, don't you?) and now I am stuck at 8/8 characters and can't delete any of them. What is the CD for character deletion and where can I see it? I made up my mind and found the best character but now I can't create one because all my slots are full of useless test characters...

You get one delete back every 24 hours.

Edit: the timer starts after your last deletion.

Up to a maximum of 3. But you don't have to wait to get all 3 back before you can use them.

Hey think of it as a good thing

Now you can give it a whole day to decide to elimate one of the candidate, like in a date show

I believe the reason for the timer is because of gold sellers and bots.

If you have access to PTS, you can use the 15 character slots there to generate characters ... make sure you take screenshots of the sliders.

This is correct.

Way back in the day, Goldseller Bots would get rolled up, go complete various meet and greet quests, mail the gold to a control account, delete themselves, and roll up new characters.

There were constant streams of bots in some places just zipping around completing quests for 300 gold, only to delete.

The deletion limit but a hard stop to that.

Playing on console, it's already hard enough to create a character there without proper option numbers or names. If I create a character on PC and try to create the same on console they look different. Sounds weird but that's how it is and why I had to create so many characters to get all the things right.

Well, you know what they say, "PC: Master Face."

Yeah it’s dumb. I remember this when I first started. Kept starting over to get my dude to look exactly like I wanted

This is not a thing for me 0.o

Just did it with 2 characters like a few days ago.

Made a tank deleted it like 2hrs after because I got all "eh I don't really want to play another tank" no problem

Few hrs after that I decided to make a dps magplar then was like "I really just don't feel like lvling anything or doing mag guild/psijic/undaunted on another toon" deleted that again no issues 0.o

Maybe PS4 doesn't have this

Its three times, never ran into the limit before either as never killed off over three characters.
Max was two then I was replacing the bank alts with actual caracters.

PS4 definitely has this as well as I experienced it there, too. It's just that you have like 3 "deletes" stored up.
