A Cry for More AE Slots

Alright, i just get so darn frustrated when I want to post my fourth mission in the series, and my comp says I have the max already posted. I'm not asking for much, just some more slots to build a plot. Maybe you can go to the online store and purchase more because I am so peeved that I cant build my idea without taking one down. They need to do something.

Yeah, I really expected to have been granted some extra free ones by now.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

We get 3 for free and we can buy 5 more for a total of 8. You said you are on your fourth story arc. You can buy 4 more. Don't see the problem.

Oh so that just solves everything. Yeah, he'd never fill up those extra five like he filled up his current three, fixed forever!

Yep. If he hasn't bought and used all 8 of his slots already he has no grounds for complaining he doesn't have enough slots. I'd say the same thing to someone complaining about not having enough character slots on his favorite server if he hasn't bought and filled all 36 slots.



Edit: Oh and you do great work on the Vidiotmaps stuff.

I don't agree with your specific situation, but I do agree that they should allow more than 8 story slots after the ones you have bought.

How about 1 slot as a Vet Reward

Here's my gripe.

When AE was announced, we were (supposedly) going to get slots freed up for things like, oh, getting Dev or Players Choice. When's the last time any of those were really added, outside of Aeon's little contests? (Were those even awarded?) Given the number of people in game, what percentage would *ever* see that?

AE's search/filtering/voting/etc is another thing in need of revamp, frankly, just in general.

It's been over a year since the last dev choice awarded that wasn't from the Aeon Challenge contests.

I wonder if part of the reason we haven't seen any increase in the number of slots we are allowed to have is because of their policy to lock slots on people found guilty of creating arcs designed to abuse AE exploits.

Not only would I support this, but I'd LOVE to be able to have more than 5 missions in an arc. I can understand the limitations when the AE was first introduced, but it'd fairly clear since all of the nerds that AE arcs being given more than 5 missions (say, a total of 8) wouldn't overwhelm the system, which is barely used anymore by the general populace.

Of course, I think AE needs major overhauling in general, but fear it's been dubbed unsaveable and thus, will get some real fixing just after they invest in adding more to bases and fixing the gladiator system in PvP.


In short, I think they've all but given up on it, which is sad, since it's the one thing that really should have put this MMO on the map. It's an amazing concept with an amazing execution, and I think only a couple small things are really holding it back.
