Deleting characters

fovrelfovrel Member Posts: 1,448 Arc User
Is perhaps easier than creating one. Hit the button, spell the name, hit again and poof. Not only the character is gone, everything it had too.

First something else. Delta recruits are coming to us. Soon we can create a new character and it will be a Delta recruit. All kinds of cool stuff are there. I am in and although I still don't know how it exactly works, I am a happy fellow. With about 20 characters I am an altaholic.

However even an Altaholic has to know his limits. As such I am in the process of deleting three characters. They are more or less copies of other characters I have. Playing them doesn't give me a different experience. I said process, because deleting is simple but if you do not want to delete everything with it, deleting is quite a complex operation.

So I am asking for a kind of streamlining things. Let me replace the character. The character is deleted, but the slot stays and can be filled up with a newly created character. All bound items are bound to the new character. Another method is a feature to change the character were the player can also readjust the level.

Example. You have a level 60 Vulcan engineer. You change it into a level 1 Betazoid. Reputations and specialization is not lost but just inactive and becomes active when you get to 50.

Good idea?

    So basically you want a "NEW GAME +" option for characters.
    Sounds cool but I really don't think that's gonna happen. Probably way too much work to program and even more potential for game breaking bugs.


    In the years since the introduction of charcter rename token they were not able (maybe not even tried) to make that little thing work properly.

    Do you really think they would be able to succesfully implement such an enourmes complex system like you proposed?

    You are thinking of a reset button, something I doubt they can do...

    I'm catching up to you, OP :P
    I've just counted mine and I'm up to 15.

    I agree that your idea sounds great, but Cryptic can't even get their NEW and IMPROVED BOff system to work..."as intended".
    NO to ARC

    Yes, except it wouldn't need to keep the reps and specs ("deactivating" them would be a lot of work and likely lead to complications), just accolades and whatever character-bound reward items etc that can no longer be acquired.

    But accolades should really be account-wide anyway and it would probably be easier to just turn the reward items into account-bound instead of character so we could transfer them ourselves...

    Or they could just sell the Delta Recruit token on the C-Store so we could use our current toons and wouldn't need to worry about any of this.
