Extra Character Slots for Greymoor?

TigressCreed

I know your pain but it’s a good mental excercise. I try to make a mag and stam in each class and try to disperse it so I get one of each race. Due to my obsession with Altmer I needed extra slots to create needless characters and then had to spend an evening checking all of them and seeing which to delete. Ask yourself if you really NEED two dps mag sorcs pve...if you do want two MagSorcs (for example) then make one pve and the other your main pvp that way you don’t make more toons just for pvp and use up more slots.

If you play on PC and really want a new character, you may be able to make it on the other megaserver--NA or EU. I think your slots are per server, not total slots--although you would only get the crown store slots on the server you bought them for.

Let people buy as many lines in a database as they want if it keeps them playing IMO.

How much time do you spend on each of these characters?

I've played since Early Access (beta before that), and have like 7 characters. Each has thousands of hours on them and can fulfill any role in the game I want them to with a simple switch of equipment and skills.

I understand roleplayers liking the alts, but I'm also legitimately curious on how much time you have on each of the characters?

This one logs into all 18 perhaps 6 days a week to do daily craftings (all are master crafters). Perhaps 6 or 7 of them get extended play time per week, although which ones changes every week.

ohh good to know.. I was keeping 2 slots open for future classes...

Here I got indulging in making another one..

Hey, there is no such thing as too much characters!



As you can see, I'm still missing a male Nord. I have a Hlaalu, but no Redoran or Telvanni, let alone Dres. I have only one Breton and only one Altmer (two, technically, but one of them is really a Maormer), zero Reachmen, no Weyress. I could also use another Orc, and I'm definitely lacking an Imperial necromancer guy. And to be honest, with that red skin released in the lastest crate season, I feel like I urgently need to roll a Daedra. So... gimme about 12 more slots, please!

(In Wildstar, I used to have 30 slots. That was just about enough for me... )

@eklhaftb16_ESO I like your character lineup! They look like they're about to be characters in a medieval fantasy mini-series! Love that one is a Maormer. I too plan to create a Maormer, but I'm still figuring out how to make him pale enough beneath my fish skin.

To the thread in general- I personally could use at least 30 slots...even though I don't have all 18 of mine filled yet. I want them for when inspiration strikes to create a new rp character >w<;

With the current character slots you can make 1 of each class dps for both stam and magic, a healer, a tank and still have 2-3 slots left. That is more than enough.

Stam + Mag + Healer + Tank = 4.

DK + Sorc + NB + Temp + Warden + Necro = 6

4*6 = 24

Remember that PvP is a thing.

5*6 = 30.

So, we can currently get 32 - 33 character slots on each account? Wait, no, that's not right.

Incidentally, I currently have 33 characters. Six of those are on EU, so they don't see much use. The other 27 get dragged out fairly regularly.

Thanks The fish skin looks fairly good when you use it on a very pale Dunmer. This one, though, was created long before they released the fish skin, so I used an Altmer with "frosty" Arctic Rime skin instead (from Dragonscale crates). The yellow tint still shines through a bit, but I think the illusion is good enough from some distance.

We all know that's not the pertinent question.

How much real time have you spent horse training, researching traits, motifs and recipes have you eaten, achievements grinded etc?

All of which are character bound.

If those weren't an issue I'm sure people would be much happier to delete and start over. Leveling to 50 can be done in a day or two, even without xp scrolls / potions.

Genuinely curious here but is there any other mmo out there that allows somebody to create up to 18 characters on a single account?

One mag dps of each class and one stam dps of each class is 12. One tank and one healer is 14. There are crown store slots on top of that, that get you to 18 characters. You can have one of every class in both damage rolls plus a tank and healer or multiple and STILL HAVE SLOTS LEFT.

as someone who runs a crapton of characters for roleplaying, daily quests, and Anniversary Jubilee abuse... I say bring 'em on. give me all the slots and I will buy them all.

Besides. you can never have too many beautiful Altmer. ^^

IIRC, the WOW limit was 100 last I played, so...

Why do you need more slots? how is 18 characters not enough.

It’s a fair question.

Even though I personally only have time to play maybe 5 out of my 17 characters, there are vociferous screams claiming that everyone’s playstyle is different ... and “altoholics” need more slots.

Which is totally fine.

Because ZOS is the arbiter of this discussion.

And, ZOS says 18 is the line drawn for character slots on one player account.

If you need more you buy another account. Pretty simple.

Yamenstein

Haven't heard anything about extra slots. Are they required with this chapter ? You don't get any new class.

Right? It's like some people don't understand that others like to roleplay in a role playing game.

No, that doesn't always mean standing in Riften and talking about how many Argonian maids' tails you lifted this week. Most of the time it just means an update gives you the urge to play a Reachman Dragonknight or Dunmer Werewolf.

Likewise, with Greymoor, people might want to create a new Nord or Vampire character, or an explorer for the Antiquities system. Or maybe just a new character in general because they like the leveling experience and they want to see the new tutorial.

Seriously, why do people have to justify wanting to play the game?

Sorry if this has been explained or clarified. Altoholic and 18 is not enough.

All these replies but nobody seems to have answered your question lol. I haven't seen any announcement, but after I pre-ordered the Digital Collector's Upgrade, my character slot total went up by one. Granted, I only had 12 before so maybe 18 is still the max or something. Maybe someone who had the max slots and pre-ordered can verify. But at least for myself, I got an additional character slot after purchase of Greymoor.

Dusk_Coven

You can check if you are at max possible toon slots by going to the Crown Store. If you can't buy anymore, you are maxed. AFAIK it's still 18.

There is literally no purpose for 6 different tanks or healers.

Again, quit assuming that what is enough for you is enough for other people. You don't know how others play, you don't know what they're using those characters for. Do people really have to be told such a simple thing over and over? Do people not stop to think there are uses for characters like mules for people without ESO+ or people playing across all three Alliances for PvP?

It's enough for you. Stop making the decision for others it's enough for them.

They're not going to cater to either extremes. Your average player does not limit themselves to two characters, nor do they need 30 slots.

Vanos444

Why do you even want an extra slot? Imao
There is no new class, your existening toon can either be a vamp or a vamps food source.

Hotdog_23

I would like a new character to do the new chapter with. Currently sitting at 18. Never deleted a character and don’t plan to. They all get played. No not every day because I too have a family, job and real-life stuff to do.

Personally, I would like 6 slots for each class since we don’t have profiles. Each class plays each role differently. Sure, the job is similar, but they go about a different way which is what makes it fun to change things up from time to time. So, 1 Stamina dps, 1 Magicka dps, 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 1 Stamina PVP player, 1 PVP Magicka DPS. So, a total of 30 slots.

This so much I like to have very unique and themed characters. My creativity is bursting with possibilities but my slots aren’t. I hope we get some I like the cute jackal mount with harrowstorm collectors edition. And I rarely go for cute mounts and characters so it’s painful I’m missing out. If I knew we were even getting a single slot it would be a done deal. As it is nope saving some slots for more preferred races.

pod88kk

Screw more characters I want more inventory slots

Nemesis7884

one more at least would really be nice to play through the new prologue...

sherahd

I would like to have 24, total. Let me explain... I would like to have a Stam DPS, Magicka DPS, Tank, and Healer for every class. That's 4 different ways to play all 6 classes. After that I'd be happy, and personally wouldn't need anymore. Well, unless they added another class. I was personally hoping they'd add more with the newest expansion. I would be willing to buy more slots, and I know a lot of people who ask for more slots all the time who would as well.

P.S. Why do people get so annoyed when people like me who love alts ask for more slots? I've never gotten this. You pop in just to air your disdain for us because we ask for something that will not bother or hurt you in any way. It's like the way you talk when addressing us is riddled with anger, annoyance and contempt. You then make statements about how we don't need anymore slots or shouldn't even as many as we already have.

Asardes

I have 12 playable characters, 2 of each class, 1 magicka 1 stamina. Stamina ones have both DD and Tank setup, Magicka ones have both DD and healer setup; MagDK and MagWarden can also go tank. All have at least a PvP build as well. So if I want a new build I just add skills and swap gear around; some gear is common since I see no point of upgrading a 2nd set of Alkosh, Ebon, Jorvuld's, Worm Cult etc. With 370+ skill points on each almost everything is possible. Also there are 6 characters that I use just for storage and extra daily crafting writs but they're just like the others, just different races and not fully trained - I don't see any reason why I should play them in the foreseeable future. Even managing that many is back breaking work on some days.
