Enhancer slots for sale in Paragon Market?

I think it would be pretty neat if we could buy bunches of new IO enhancer slots in the Paragon Market, potentially buying enough to 6- (or 7-) slot *all* of our powers!

Can I get an "Amen", Sisters and Brothers?

No, that would be so horribly overpowered. That would severely break the game.

It'd be awesome for a short while, but that's definitely a no-no.

No.

You both said "No", but did not specify your reason(s) for that sentiment.

Why do you think it is a bad idea?

William's comment about it being "overpowered" makes me think that that is a PvP argument and is not a valid arguement for the PvE game.

Gonna have to agree, it'd be a bit broken. Not just from a PvP stand point, but from a PvE stand point.

See all those things people do now, like solo the ITF, solo GMs, solo 4/8 content...now imagine the ease of things if every power was six slotted!

Now that said, I don't think it would be overpowered, if they allowed a one time buy of 2-6 extra slots per character, great way to either enhance a charcter or slot those Patron/Anicillary Powers you took between level 41 and 49

There is balance in the PvE game. Balance isn't limited to PvP(Arguably it isn't even present in PvP but ). This would demolish that balance.

That's not even considering the fact that this would be selling power on an extreme level.

But this just isn't something that should ever be done. It would break the game.

You can already get that kind of effiency slotting IO sets, or frankenslotting. Add two more slots on top of that? Very powerfull.

As many times as I have said that I could really use an extra slot right now, I think it is a bad idea for game balance reasons.

I am sure that players of Kheldian characters would appreciate a few extra enhancer slots.

Goodness knows, they are starved for those things when they try to put together a dual or triform character!

Not really sure why folks think this would be unbalanced. With all those level 50+ Uber Incarnates running around now how could you ever notice the difference in terms of game balance?

Seriously. . . Where does it really become unbalanced?

I see no reason at all that more premium slots couldn't be made available, even to include a few seventh slots. . .

Seems like a good idea to me!

I will agree that six slotting everything would probably be excessive. But I don't see why folks couldn't buy up to (Grabbing numbers for the sake of numbers) say ten or twelve more slots max (Maybe a cap of 2 slots + 2 extra slots at every 10th level?) and allowing maybe one or two powers to be seven slotted. Khelds would finally be able to slot some useful sets!

I could see maybe 2 or 3 more slots total. Not sure I'd like it if they were a sale item though. I think I'd rather that just be a change, if they were to do it.

I wish Level 50 granted 6 slots instead of 3 (for free!!!!), but am adamantly against being able to PURCHASE the ability to make your character INSANELY UBER.

Going to /unsign this.

I would not be against something like the following though:

A benefit of being a VIP player.. yep you know those people who pay the bills...get 6 slots at level 50 instead of 3.

OR

Along the same lines... VIP players who either have Alpha Unlocked or are +1 get 3 slots (I mean if there were a TRUE level 51...you would probably get slots anyways).

But I am DEFINITELY against PURCHASABLE slots. If anything it should be a SMALL (No more than 3) benefit of being a VIP customer.

Not a good idea to me.

Smacks too much of 'pay to win'

I think that it would be pretty neat to get +3 enhancer slots at Lv50 (for a total of +6), then another +3 after unlocking Alpha, and having a final +3 available for purchase through the Paragon Market.

That's +9 enhancer slots for an Alpha'd Lv50 customer, enough to sate even the greatest dreams of Kheldian avarice!

I have to raise a tiny kitty eyebrow at the mention of phrases like "game-breaking", "overpowered", and "segregation", as these (again!) sound like they are being bandied-about with regard to PvP.

The addition of enhancer slots helps *everyone*, not just l33t d3wdz with t3h ph4t l3wtz! If the Devs do not take time from other projects in order to "up the ante" with regard to the new enhancers, then people will be able to continue playing through regular and Incarnate content, yet will simply have a few extra enhancers as a Quality of Life (QoL) bonus.

There have always been "haves" and "have nots" in all walks of life and gaming, but this feature (at least) is *not* divisive, but available to everyone who chooses to pursue it. It is not as though you have to get 150 people together for a raid on The Lair of the Chromatic Dragon Matriarch in your +90 Armour of L33tn3ss and with a +75 Sword of T3h Ph4tn3ss!
