Like you said, it doesn't hurt to spam it and is better than forgetting to use it all together.

I only play on one server at this point. Been around since day one, and I have found my home.I want more slots, and I would pay for them. I would delete slots from other servers to get them.

When CoH launched we had access to eight slots per server. When CoV launched we had twelve slots per server. Issue 12 gave us access to our max 36 slots. The extra slots when CoV launched were great, we had five new AT's with lots of power combo mixes, as well as a slew of costume options. Issue 12 gave us powerset proliferation, which now gave us even MORE options for character concepts. Since launch, we've had nothing but additions to the great powersets and costume options (unlockables,vet rewards, booster packs! )
Going Rogue gave us a few more powersets and costume options, and a bunch of new concept tools to play with.

But we have not been given more room for expansion on our beloved servers. I know many poeple play on multiple, but many of us do not. So many unique character concepts to make, it gets frustrating having to not be able to make the one I want now that I'm almost "capped" so to speak.

I am currently running two accounts. My first account has all 36 slots filled, with three vet-rewarded character slots unclaimed.

My second account is about to purchase the last 5 slots on my main server.

I can, and do, run both accounts for RP reasons, prestige farming etc.

I have no desire, nor cash to pay for a third account.

I don't know if the dev's have ever given any kind of definitive answer to this topic, but I'm really wishing for a way to get more slots per server.

Anyone have thoughts, threads to link to, or constructive criticism?

I'm not looking for infinite slots per server, that'd be lame for many reasons. But even another ten would float my goat.

February 15th to February 21st - The Lady Grey Task Force (from Lady Grey in the Rikti War Zone)

February 22nd to February 28th - Clamor and Destruction (from Sister Psyche in Independence Port) / Pirates of the Skies (from Silver Mantis in Sharkhead Isle or your supergroup or villaingroup base's mission computer or oracle)


The above is posted...Doing the Sister Psyche in the 20's...Give me a break. Your Alpha slot won't work...not that it needs to just "facepalm".

We should be doing CONTENT that will generate SHARDS meaning lvl 50 opponents.

Extremely disappointed.

The biggest is the poor navigational instructions many of these quests have, this being the latest. If there is a secret tunnel that leads to the door to the quest then at least SAY SO in the quest description. Other quests say you need to wipe out every one, when you don't, yet some would say to kill the boss, but they mean kill the boss and everyone else in the instance.

The fact that I could get no response from the four or so channels I tried (or couldn't join) negates the very reason to have this form of public communication. It was very jarring for me to see such a paucity of chatter in the chat window compared to other MMOs. Apparently that occurs on other channels but not the public ones (e.g. Broadcast). I'm not saying this is bad; but for me it simply doesn't work.

I would surmise that for other ppl who come into this game cold, with no posse to help them navigate the pitfalls that await a noob, this is not a good thing. If the brass who pay attention to subscription rates read this; they might want to take note of this. CoH is a mature game in that the bulk of the player base has been around for a while and already know the ins and outs of just about every aspect except the new stuff. They also have a pretty good support system with their buds who have been at it for a while as well. It's easy therefore to get complacent about quest flows and design.

Of the several MMOs that I have played and discarded over the years this one saddens me the most because I liked the playbility of my characters, the crafting, and the market and on those occasions when the quests were laid out well how well they worked out. There was just too many of these kinds of issues and my blood pressure already requires medication. It's just sad.

I've made a Dual Blades/Regen scrapper and have already leveled him some before I cracked open Mid's to try figure out what to do with him. Honestly, I ended up just staring at it with nothing coming to mind. Could someone please throw a guy a build?

What I'm looking for is survivability beyond "Hurr, heal fast/lots". I'm not sure if this'll factor in or not, but I primarily solo.

The account I'm playing the scrapper on isn't at 60+ months, so requires a pre-travel power, and in this case combat jumping is preferred with super leaping to be used as the travel.

While I'm not usually against hasten, for this particular character, I'd like to be able to not use/have it if at all possible, though it wouldn't be a deal breaker if the build requires it.

He's currently in Praetoria and will be going redside when he hits 20th, if APP/Patron Pools need to be taken into account as well.

I would also prefer not to use purples.

And finally, if possible a build that's leveling friendly would be greatly appreciated, though again, not required.

I want the leveling to 50 to be real quick, then the developers can make all future content for level 50s.

What if I want to try out an illusion controller some weekend? Its weeks of "work" through stuff I've done many times before until I get the higher illusion powers. The content is not "skipped" I've done it all before.

I am posting because there's something confusing me about the Fitness Pool. My new character gets Stamina for free while my older characters waste 3 powers to have it. Shouldn't I get a free respec to remove Fitness pool since now it's a given to all new characters? or am I stick with having to waste 3 powers just to get Stamina (seems unfair to me).

So, should I respect to get Stamina for free (and hence have 3 more powers to select since I dont have to choose fitness anymore)?
