New Character Slots Coming This Year! Do you plan to use them? If so, how?

As an altoholic, this is actually one of the most exciting announcements for me. It will be about four years since ZOS added new character slots to the game. I know not everyone plays multiple characters. I'm curious how many people are actually planning to use at least one of the new slots and what your plans are for your new character(s). Please elaborate below.

In addition, I'd love to hear if you have any plans to create an Arcanist and what race/background you're planning for that character. (I want to try the new class, but I'm having trouble coming up with a character concept I like.)

    I am still debating if I'll get the new chapter. I am interested in making an Arcanist and the new companions.

    However, I am unhappy with the current Templar gameplay. I am unhappy that ESO+ has lost value because it lost the story dlc IMO. I am unhappy with the way certain issues were addressed (or lack thereof).

    So, right now I'm debating on what to do. Part of my answer will come with how the pts ends up shaking out for the upcoming dungeon dlc and update 37. I won't judge purely on initial patch notes. I'll take my time. I am expecting nerfs. We'll see.

    I'm also looking forward to learning more about the upcoming chapter in the months to come.

    Arcanist looks truly awesome though. It might just be awesome enough to get a sub from me haha. I just really adore the little snippet we got. It looks really cool.

    Its been sometime since ive done this with a new character or 2, but i usually do a all shards collection then level through dungeon runs. Researching when it becomes available from dropped pieces, using stored intricate from writs to level the crafting lines, maxing provisioning/alchemy through production spam. Motifs and more serious research will happen gradually and they will be on daily writs as soon as practically possible.😀

    Not sure getting the chapter even.

    More details would be a factor for me, probably not before couple PTS cycles through. A hassle of getting the chapter in region that's unable to get one anymore adds to it nowadays. But chances are higher than last couple of years when it was either a gift or a late decision on a deepest sale, this chapter seem to have some meat on the bone this time around.

    Just afraid that if I would make a new one as always it would be ultimately shelved like both wardens and necros were at a time, while I'm always going back on main for the action. Would love features to interact on a daily basis and not just a new shiny to be forgotten after a patch of play.

    100% I am looking forward to the new class. It has been too long since I got to sit down and really design a character.

    Originally I wanted to do an older imperial librarian who is slowly being corrupted by forbidden magics. But all of a sudden I realized I was just making someone who was basically a copy of Abnur Tharn. (And all of my imperials so far are male anyway.)

    So how about a disgraced Imperial(?) psijic? With burn scars from magic experimentation gone awry? It’s so much fun to think about.

    I’m definitely going to make a Dunmer arcanist!
    I’m not sure beyond that and am also going to reevaluate some of the characters I play less. I might recreate an Altmer warden I’ve not leveled much as an arcanist. I like to keep at least a slot free in case I have inspiration for a character I simply must create! :blush:

    I only have three characters and I'll probably create another one for the new class, but I don't know when I'll ever have the time to use 18, 20 or even more characters.

    Given that a class change token does not exist I will have to in order to play Arcanist.

    Not looking forward to going back to doing the horse/guild/skill/skyshard/trait/whathaveyou grind this late in the game after having done it 36 times already but as it stands it is what it is.

    I think the antiquities one is the one I am least looking forward to. Before AwA you did get a bit of a skill line 'boost' from the relevant achievements but since it was implemented there isn't even that, is just mindless, souless grind all the way.

    We will see if come summer I have it in me to do it 4 more times...

    Have so many ideas for new characters that already got lost or forgotten. And who were never created due to the character slot shortage, which feels bad. So these two slots will be used right away.

    Both are going to be female arcanists. One is going to be as dark as possible, and a vampire. The other one, don't know yet.

    Just the free one to make an arcanist. Probably another Altmer daedric cultist, of Mora this time. I'm hoping to get the glowing green skin from the new dungeon, I know it's technically of Peryite but the colour fits so well.

    No, I don't plan on using the new character slots.
    I 'only' have 8 characters (and a mule I haven't used in years) so I've got space to make an arcanist even without another slot. I don't know if I'll play the new class regularly because I want to try it out before making that decision, rather than just going off the marketing, but I'll probably make one sooner or later so I've got the option.

    I'm glad we're getting more character slots though, because I know it's been a point of frustration for a lot of people to be limited by that. I have tons of ideas for characters I've never used (including one who might become an arcanist, instead of a sorcerer), but in my main limiting factor is having time to play them.

    Ever since hybridization and the constant nerfs across all classes, there is no reason to keep more than one character per class.

    They all play the same now. 😞

    Admittedly, I have no plans to purchase Necrom, but even if I did, I have no need for more character slots. For AwA, I purged a lot of alts and have plenty of room. I have enough room to last me for the rest of my time with this game.

    BTW I've heard that the chapter will include a character slot for free. Is that the case, and is it only if you pre-purchase it?

    I'm not maxed out of slots yet, but I will want to buy more sooner or later so if one comes with Necrom that affects how much it's worth to me, and therefore when/where I buy it as I'm less likely to wait for a sale.

    The store pages don't say anything about character slots though, so I'm not sure if that was just a rumour.

    For sure I will have at least one of the new class. I still have one slot left out of the original 18.

    I am using 17/18 characters so got 1 slot there
    Getting free one with chapter.

    I will make a tank and healer with races that fit class skill potential towards roles. I might make a dps too. They will use wasmu pet with void plasma pet, the new mount type with book pet ,last war pagetti with white Griffin.

    If I hate how wasmu looks with character then look at getting a fox or sabre cat mount type. I could also use kagertti . At last, I might not actually make dps characters so won't be a problem

    Personalities I will use is swashbuckler, minstrel, and new bard one

    I have 3 hair styles (outside of bundle) I never used before so will try to use them.

    I have decided on 2 of 3 names already

    Probably no skins to use but will see what happens. I always wanted to use grace of green one.

    Interested in using green priest outfit, or moth priest

    P.S.

    Will use stables next to snugpod

    I'm only using 11 out of the 15 I have. Got one of every race and two of every class already. I don't plan on getting Necrom until it's on discount and have no real plans for those character slots.

    I only play two of my characters anyway, Templar and DK who both got Cadwell's gold done and all the DLC (On DK, Need the Elsweyr main quest and all things Galen on the Templar). Makes it a kinda hard sell to bother with my others other than when I wanna redo a certain zone for nostalgia.

    I have 36 characters spread amongst 2 Xbox accounts (and that’s not counting my rarely used PC account which has another 1 character). I’m definitely an alt-oholic and will be getting the new slots to make some variations of arcanists. Until we get more info about the class and it’s abilities though, I’ve no idea what type of characters I’ll make.

    I am a little bummed that we only get 2 new slots and not 3. It has always been the case that you’d have room to make a separate character for tank, healer, and dps of every class if you do chose. I mean I guess there’s Armory slots but still, it’s a bit of a bummer.
