18 character slots is not enough.

    Would love a couple of extra slots.

    Have ideas in characters would like to try but no space and not going to delete any of the ones I’ve got as very happy with them.

    And do have enough time to play them all - rotate through - means don’t get bored & have characters that can do different roles (tho tank still eludes me ☹️)

    If they add more slots, can ZOS do one of the following:

    - make Crafting Dailies per account so that the RMT bots can't get even richer per day doing writs with Dolgu's Lazy Writ (or maybe even their own custom addon).

    - make collecting all your stuff from all your alts (e.g., Hirelings) a one-click process (like collecting daily rewards) that dumps it all in your Crafting Bag. Extra slot or no, this would be an excellent Quality of Life improvement. I'd even trade daily rewards to have it. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    I mean I don’t see any reason why character slots should be limited...

    ... but I really don’t see the need for more character slots either. 18 isn’t enough? 3 slots per class sounds reasonable, 2 slots per race really doesn’t.

    So yes for unlimited / increased slots but very much questioning the need for this.

    You can buy another account, @Aptonoth, which gives you 18 more slots.

    You have to be careful, though. It can be cheaper to buy a second account than to buy the additional slots, or it can be more expensive. Lots more expensive.

    I would like at least one more free slot. I don't expect them to have any additional slots until they add a new class.

    6 classes, 18 slots

    It is fine as is. You'll most likely get 3 more (1 free with chapter, 2 more to buy with crowns) when a new class comes out.

    Personally, I wish I could roll all my characters into just 6 characters with a proper build load out selector, like profiles each with their own attribute, cp, gear, skills, and even racials.

    This ever expanding list of characters is just not sustainable IMO. Dilutes the game.

    I actually have no duplicate race genders in my stable of characters - so it’s not just race/class/alliance people think about when creating noob toons.

    But (to the main point of my post) - wasn’t it 14 slots after Morrowind, and 18 after Elsweyr... so we must have gotten slots with Summerset, no?

    Hence my “hope” that it is one free & two extra slots for purchase with DHoS.

    S.

    Edit: 2 extra slots fingers-crossed

    14 with morowind
    15 with the q1 update that added the level up reward
    18 with elsweyr

    It’s reassuring to know they will at some point increase the cap a bit again. Once I make some Skyrim and Blackmarsh character’s I’ll be nearly done making characters I want. I don’t particularly find myself wanting to make hammerfell or cyrodil themed characters when we inevitably go there.

    I mostly play solo. I don’t have to "keep up" with anything.

    But then you still have options left. Lots and lots of options.

    I’ve only played not even a year and have 3 level 50’s geared up too. I say I barely even put time into eso. Even did 90% of story quest and mostly played casually. Even had time to paint stuff irl and even play a few other games.

    Less than a year of eso and 18 characters and here I am playing since 2016 (between comings and goings) with 5 characters (one of each class except for dk), which 2 of them are just mules for years already XD

    I don't see any need to add more charslots. I also see no harm if they were to do it, but still It's completely unnecessary. At least make an actual good argument why 18 isn't enough.

    I have to agree with them. I always got curious about how ppl like OP actually enjoy the game: probably questing only and roleplaying (those kind of things you can do even at lvl 3 tutorial), since to leveling skills, gear and such would be a chore among all of them.

    That being said, i'm just measuring others through my eyes, and I know its none of my business about what other ppl wants, but there is much more important stuff to be implemented on the game than this.

    We may or may not need more slots, we certainly don't need more shortcuts - especially on PC where add-ons provide all the shortcuts anyone could possibly need and more besides.

    It's never been about "actively playing" all 18 characters. I actively play maybe 5-6 at any given time, but aside from my true main, the characters I play rotate based on game balance and preference. Those 18 character slots are filled up with variants of mag dps, stam dps, tanks, healers, pvp builds, etc. Also the fact alone that characters are permanently locked to an alliance in pvp is enough justification for a much higher cap. Deleting characters and rerolling a different alliance is not an option.

    And what harm is there? It's 2020, data storage is as cheap as it's ever been. There is no good reason NOT to simply increase character cap.

    I absolutely agree, and do the same thing. I make sure they all play different zones so I'm not immediately repeating things, or doing different achievements. I have 18 slots on NA, and play as above - usually 8-9 at any given time. I also have 9 slots on EU. I would absolutely buy more slots.

    If you don't play all the slots, fine - there are people who create various combinations, and I have not reached the extent of the possibilities. If they increase the slots, it doesn't hurt anyone. Don't want 'em, don't buy em.

    PS: I actively support achievement sharing across toons, (non-skill related) - and especially for eidetic lorebooks. I find the fact achievements aren't shared inhibits my ability to explore with different toons, because my main is my achievement toon. Until she does it, no other toon can. Would drive me bonkers to have one achievement on an alt that my main doesn't have yet... Anyway, that's my 10 cents.

    This is what I do, as well.

    There are some things I do on all of my characters (get Blade of Woe, farm Thieves Troves, join Fighters and Mages Guilds), but I tend to focus each of my alts in different areas of the map.
    My main does everything, but the alts vary mostly depending on race/class.

    There is technically many more than 4.

    Tank
    Heal
    MagDPS
    StamDPS
    PVP - Cyro
    PVP - Solo (Dueling)
    Farming / Overworld

    However, they can still be boiled down to 3. Damage, Tanking, Healing as a focus point. PVP enters a hybrid territory.

    In any event, I'd like ZOS to introduce the ability to roll characters into one with the option for many build loadouts.

    I would like 24 slots or 4 slots for each class.

    1. Stamina DPS
    2. Magicka DPS
    3. Healer
    4. Tank

    Yes, I know that a magicka character can be a Healer as much as most stamina players can be a tank with just changing sets. But skills morph is different in some cases. The reason I personally have 18 and want more is I don’t like playing the same character or a select few each every day. I like variety and each class has a different feel and way it goes about filling each role in the trinity. This does not even consider of PVE vs. PVP were the skill choices are different. I really wish they would let us use 2 profiles for each character to help cover both aspects of PVE and PVP.

    So yes, I have characters I would like to build and make and “play how you want” but don’t have the character slots to do.
