Account Aura Slot - Add 1 Aura Slot to all your characters.
We want this in the Store. Some of us have too many characters and can't spend the 600 Zen per character. I have 50 characters and am not going to spend 30,000 Zen for all of them.
I'll buy Account Costume Slots all day. For the price of 3 aura slots on ONE character, I can get two costume slots on each of my characters including newly made ones. Make Auras and aura slots in line with costume purchases, please.

I must not have seen this thread, though I don't regularly read over the forum, either. I've got too much other junk on my mind... like the entirety of the internet. That gets pretty distracting.
I would definitely love to see this as well, but I suppose letting people buy aura slots that are given to all characters on an account would mean less money for Cryptic and PWE, naturally.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
I would be inclined to purchase an account wide aura slot unlock, but as it is, I have too many alts to want to buy an additional slot for just one.
Stop the idiocy and make an account-wide aura slot available...geez..have you no shame??!!
Storage slots should be account wide and adding to it should be account wide (like the shared bank). Aura slots.... I don't know. That's a lot of lost income to have account wide aura slots.

Say I have a hero with the classic "mild-mannered alter-ego"? I don't want Johnny Dawson radiating electricitys when he's not in his heroic guise of Electroshock. And "combat/out-of-combat" isn't good enough... what about heros with multiple powersets, like a fire/ice swappable hero? It's damn tedious and inconvenient to stop and manually swap-out Fire Aura and Ice Form or whatever with each costume/power change...
Well since the Account Wide Costume Slots counts only 3 times as much as a single Costume Slot, I would suspect that 1000 for 1 Account Wide Aura Slot would be acceptable.
But I suspect that the whole reason why auras weren't part of the tailor was to further monetize on auras as they are and the individual slots. Its all downright greedy in a way that ruins the whole aura system. No loyalty to players who have dozens of character slots.
At least grant a free aura slot to all characters as a subscriber reward!
On the subject of aura slot purchases, the Aura Storage Slots are an absolute nightmare of what they actually provide.
as they are, they are just more colour to see past. I have ONE which uses 2 auras- combat and non combat. That's out of 100
No way am I buying new auras slot per character, as for the stupid 100 extra storage, exactly how many auras do you think we are going to get per character?

I rather not be specific about a price point because we'll be disappointed regardless. If it would be implemented and ends upward towards 1500 per account wide slot, I would bury the body and forget about it.
525 for two costume slots per character forever. Monetize auras how you monetize costumes and their slots, Cryptic. Whoever is in charge on these prices is a greedy moron. I can guarantee you that if any of us found out who it was, they would be chastised in an instant.
If you have FF toon, you can already accomplish this using the build tabs.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
$5 for two account wide costume slots on every character you have and ever will have is laughably low. The only redeeming point is that you can buy tons of them.

And that's the down side to letting such a limited purchase item be account wide. While it's great for the player's pocket book it doesn't give the company much of a revenue stream and CO needs revenue streams.
They need to make money on the aura sets, not the slots to put them in. Let me buy my account wide aura slots 3 times so all my characters have 4 active and 4 combat aura slots. Then when the aura sets themselves are changed to accountwide, I'll purchase one copy (sometimes two) of each set and purchase each new one that comes out. If I want multiple copies of an aura, that's another 475 Z I can pay for each extra copy that is granted to EACH of my characters.
Amount I'm paying the way we want it: ???Z (3 Account Wide Slots) + 475 Z per set that comes out forever =
$52.25 PLUS $4.75 per set until they stop making them
Amount I'm paying the way things are: No + no + no =
$0
From me alone that's fifty dollars for every set that is out now plus five dollars per set they release in the future. Charging the price of a game for 5 pieces of cosmetic items that need to be traded is a ripoff. At these prices we ought to expect 5 new zones within the next year.
But on my Main charcater i have 70+ Auras and all Slot sunlocked + extended Storage.
From my view it looks that ALTing is not intended anymore since all the new stuff you can buy is mostly stuff wich you can only use on 1 toon at 1 time.
Means, when i buy a vehicle i cannot use it with 2 toons without putting it into hideout.. the same goes for auras...titles, perks...
so i dont see any point making another character if i either need to put my stuff in hidout all the time i switch OR buy every bit again for every new toon i create...
based on that i would not buy account aura slots...
but maybe thats just me
Having the Aura Storage on a per-character basis just doesn't make any sense to me.
The way you purchase aura items and slots only further supports having an account wide aura slot and making aura sets unlock on all toons. You already purchased what you wanted (one of each thing). Cryptic won't be getting anything else from you.
The way things are now, people are only going to buy one of each set and that will be it. Cryptic should make it so you get the most for your money so they can get money from people who haven't yet.

Same with the C-Store versions of the vehicles. Keep the drifter, lockbox items, and upgraded versions of the vehicles character specific to keep some uniqueness.
