More character slots

Nemesis7884 · October 18

Can we get more character slots please? We only ever got 2 for the new arcanist class when we usually get 3 per new class?

Well, I don't know how they'll handle upcoming crossplay but it's possible we'll have 60 character slots limit, which for many would be a huge increase.

if that happens i would be so happy

why multiply by 3 and not 2 or 6?

120 slots if its a x6...

edit: realised x3 is keeping eu/us separate still

More character slots would give a lot of us something to do. Just another way to keep us playing, ZOS!

Maybe a new Class would bring more...?

I would love new slots. You can limit my daily writs to account-wide if you must, but I need to play dress-up with my cosmetics.

they added build saving and sub-classing. they did everything to never give us slots again

Atleast 50 character slots, please!

Its way more about character / power fantasy then purely builds

According to Brian Wheeler it took a whole team of people two years to develop the arcanist from scratch to the final design.

And with sub-classing you can already build, at least from my point of view, almost everything.

Not to forget that "classes" as a concept might be abandoned towards "skill lines"..

To close, I expect new skill lines at best, but no new classes.

you'd think that more character slots are a good deal for zos since a) you can sell them b) i doubt they require a lot of memory since only 1 character is loaded in the game on the same account and the rest of the info is just a spread sheet and c) more characters mean more play time, more cosmetics etc. etc. etc.

More character slots, yes.
But in the case they really do what I said in my comment with crossplay, merging and taking to 60 max, I am starting to wonder: aren't they gonna potentially lose 2 subscriptions due to merging servers?
If that will cause a loss, they'll have to monetize back in other ways.
If they give more slots but increase ESOPlus, for example, (seeing recent GamePass increase) I don't know if it will be good for game's health and population and engaging times...

They said they are potentially working on crossplay (i think there is no confirmation just that they are looking into it) but that means it might be years away... how many people do have a console and a pc or 2 console subscriptions is also very questionable (I would assume this accounts to maybe 1-2% of players).

And you could merge different platforms onto different accounts anyway - so even if you had a ps, an xbox and a pc account that you will end up again with 3 separate accounts; so i dont see how anything would change on that front...
