There will be no low level game if we don’t get alts. All those zones will be dead. Low level dungeons…no point. Let us at least make 1 or 2 alts on the same server…dahell? It’s even happening this early in terms of lower level areas being barren.

Your alts are the other weapons that you haven’t leveled for the time being.
With all we’ve been through since launch, is this really the time to ask for that?

We’ve been through? Alts are like a basic staple of EVERY MMO damn near. And yes we need to focus on it now. When newer players jump in at any point in the upcoming weeks and can’t do low level group activities or see that the towns are dead and barren…do you think most will stay?

Alts aren’t necessary, but the game just cries out for level scaling with how it’s designed and this is one of the reasons for sure.

There are parts of this game that are still disabled, not working or fundamentally still broken.
Yet you are asking to add something new to that system, before fixing the parts of it that is broken. Explain the logic in that?
Alts are a basic staple of the MMOs that you’ve played. Not all of them. At this time they are not the solution for what ails the game.

I rather like the idea that if I want to switch to a different weapon I can reskill my already levelled character instead of going back to the beginning and starting a new character. That’s really the only reason I have to create an alt.
But I know some of you altoholics out there are suffering…

MMO’s are never 100% fixed. Never. What does it matter if they are fixing a dead game? You have many people complaining that are max level right now. Having alts gives people something to do as well to keep that player base as well as not having newer players feel like the game is dead already.
This a game studio that developed a major MMO. Why should I not think they can’t handle an alt system? People love to say…there are so many other things to fix…and yes there are. But when the game is dead and barren…there will still be a ton of stuff to fix then as well.

There’s never a wrong time for feedback.
I’m an altaholic in all the MMOs I play. Except FFXIV because starting a new Job there effectively IS starting alt. Even moreso now with New Game+ lol
I massively outleveled my friend simply by virtue of having more time to play. Would have been nice to have an alt that could stay at his progress so I’m not just carrying him everywhere.
Because Attributes exist, it’s not simply a matter of swapping weapons and gear.
There’s a 500g cost every time you want to try something new.
Add to this the cost of trying to level a new weapon when you’re at high character levels.
You need to fight things that are within your own level range or you get virtually no weapon exp.
All these things combined make it difficult to justify trying new things on an existing character as the time investment to bring the new spec up to par coupled with a general feeling inferiority compared to the old setup until you get everything maxed out makes the whole experience feel crap.
Not to mention that you need to adapt to a whole new playstyle against high level enemies with said underpowered builds.
I want to be able to have a Tank character fully invested in being the best tank it can be.
I also want to make a Healer so I can experience the levelling process and expeditions at an appropriate level.
Same with a mage and melee dps character.
Just make alts inherit storage, faction and Company from the first character so we aren’t using alts as storage bins or cross faction spies.

Typical response of a child. LOL.
No type of thought process, just something to stir the pot. You need to find something better to do.

You fail to understand the design of pvp games like this.
The single character per server is a brilliant solution to dozens of problems that have existed in pvpmmo games for decades… Certainly before you were born…
This is yet another ignorant complaint by someone who shouldn’t be playing this game.
There’s dozens of good pve carebear games for you.

Lol. I’m 40. I’ve been playing MMO’s since 1999. Muds before that. I played Shadowbane (pvp on 24/7) game since it released, and there were alts in that game. I’ve played in PVP enabled servers since I can remember. So please tell me what game came out before I was born where there were no alts…Pvp wise. So now Alts…are a pve thing. PVPrs don’t like alts? Pvprs don’t like testing new builds on different characters, or having different characters for different playstyles. LOL…it seems you were the one who has only recently started gaming in pvp games like this.
Lol it’s carebear to have alts now. lol. What’s next? Is it carebear to gather, or craft…cause pvprs do that as well…just in case you didn’t know in your clearly limited experience.
1 more thing…how is it a complaint to want the game to survive so there are more players. Is that not a bonus for pvp? You know…don’t respond…please
are there any non trollish people with coherent thoughts up or this forum a lost cause?

When the best source of gold at 60 is rolling a new toon on a new account. Yeah right ags won’t give you that ability without shelling out the cash!!

Its actually kinda funny to me that the guy claims alts are for carebears.
Back in TBC when I was actively doing arena, i was getting absolutely caned by Warriors and Hunters.
So I rolled one of each to find out through personal experience what the class weaknesses were so I could learn how better to exploit those weaknesses when facing them in arenas.
It was basically the beginning of my addiction to alts lol, not just because I needed to know the limitations of those classes to beat them but also just because I found that i genuinely enjoyed playing and learning new classes.

It’s not usual to sign forum posts with the name your parents gave you. Just ‘No.’ would have sufficed.

I’ve always loved alts and would love to have them here as well. I think you hit a great point with having them faction locked to your account per server (so if you switch your faction, all of them would in turn switch). This would prevent faction spying or win trading.
I do however think you’d need to keep the sheds per character as they’d each have the ability to buy houses with chests added and earn standing for storage increases.
Allowing an alt (or more than 1) brings more “new” gold into the servers as well as giving players the ability to have different combat characters or even a gatherer or crafter characters. Yes I know you CAN level different weapons and respec your skills but this would let you do that without the extra costs of switching everything around and all the different gear that goes with it.

I’m curious…have you actually done that?
No reason not to be able to have them at all. The restriction is entirely arbitrary.

why do you need alts? what’s the point when the one you create can do what ever you want them to at any time? Most mmo that have classes sure i could see alts cause they are bound by armor or a weapon and can’t use anything else but NW you can switch out your armor weapons ect so why do you need alts?

Why you want to crate alt? You dont need alt, you can do everything with 1 character.
This game is not designed for alt characters.
