good job with the patch, but...

still just 3 character slots, only a C-Store option for another 2 ?

you should seriously consider giving players another character slot once they hit RA5 , maybe even two for another RA5.

not only would it expand the time people can spend with the game trying new stuff out, it also follows the concept "buy it or unlock it".

other than that.... i like the direction this new update is going in terms of gameplay.

just dont make the mistake to bring the C-store in a position where the game is just uncool if you dont buy stuff from there. you lose a lot more customers by doing that, rather than offering a wide range of customization for free for everybody, or at least the possibility to unlock it somehow by playing good. (maybe even as rare loot)

c-store should only be a option for the lazy ones ( or the ones with less time but more money if you want )

    Just how many character slots do you need? I've only used two since launch.

    well i played a lot since headstart, didnt play for like 3 weeks from now. but i already had 2 RA5's and another one in the Commander Ranks... that... after deleting another char to have space for the new one.

    5 slots would be fine. 3 at start, 2 unlockable. you should at least never be in the position were u have to delete a toon to be able to play a new one.

    with those 5 they could still offer more via C-store, but 3 alone are not enough for a global server game.

    Ya...there really isn't a big difference between the classes you can play. So one for Tactical, One for Engineering and One for Sciences seem about right. I wish there a lot more classes you could play that would offer big differences in how you play the game. It may add re-playability. I've done one character up to RA5, and really don't think I would enjoy doing it again with a different class. As I rolled Tactical...maybe Sciences. Age of Conan was great as there where so many classes that played so differently. You go 8 character slots off the bat and it was fun to see how each class played so differently.

    What? They cant do that OP.

    There's no money in just GIVING extra character slots away! Or having them open up after reaching RA5. COMON!


    I mean......all that would do is entice people to go ahead and create another character.....and play.....for another month or two.........Wait. Wait. Ummm.......

    You know.....actually...... :confused:

    After paying 45 bucks for the game plus a monthly sub, Im not too keen on throwing even more money at STO.

    And once I've filled up my character slots that I have, well, I guess I'll just quit playing. And then Cryptic wont get any more of my money for a monthly sub! See how that works? So their 6 friggin bucks they want to charge me could have been $15 or $30 over the course of a month or two.

    But they didnt get that did they. Because they want to nickle and dime me and I dont want to pay more for stupid slots.

    I paid for the game too " buddy " and I can say what I want on the forums as long as I do so within Cryptic guide lines. You just trolled me.

    Which is inappropriate. So why dont you take your own advice and leave me the hell alone. Or have something constructive to say on the issue. Cant? Then shut it.

    I just find it funny that you've been going from thread to thread whining. Isn't one thread enough? Don't you think people "get" your "opinion" by now?


    Funny, you should call me a troll Mr. Kettle.

    Mr. Reed used to be whole and full of life. But he has sense become broken. I actually feel a bit sad whenever i see his posts nowadays. I actually used to look forward to his insightful posts.

    to the OP:

    I think it is a great idea to give a few slots if you already have 1-2 RA5's But prolly will never happen.

    Bud, Ive been positive, negative and everything in between. I can complain if I want. If I dont like an issue, I'll say so. And Im glad you think its funny. Im thrilled you are amused.

    And when I complain it isnt whining. When people on forums insist that someone is " whining " its a way of being a total ****. I get so sick of hearing " Stop whining" from one forum member to another. Can you hear my friggin voice? No. So whining doesnt even come into it.

    So why dont you " Whine " more about my complaining? Fact is you cant handle it. Either discuss the issue or shut up.

    I've read your posts. It's not even minutely close to being positive. Please do not delude yourself into thinking you're not trolling after what, like 3-5 threads?

    Honestly I try sometimes. But I cant seem to get by a single week without Cryptic doing something that royally ticks me off. Id almost rather they do nothing at all than that.

    And then there's the community. Some are very cool people. Many are not. There's several things Im pretty ticked off about with STO right now. Maybe Cryptic will do something soon to lift my spirits and I'll get back to those insightful posts of mine. But not today.

    Because it sounded to me like you don't really want more slots, but you are kinda angry that you'd have to pay for them if you did.

    Were you trying to have a civil conversation? Or did you just come into the thread to flame me. Oh thats right, you just came here to flame.

    Because in reading ALL of your posts here in this thread you have not ONCE addressed the issue brought up by the OP in any way, shape or form.

    You have derailed the thread. You have flamed me. You have accomplished absolutely nothing here.

    Thank you for hijacking the OP's thread and not even ONCE trying to address the topic at hand. And Im the troll? Riiiiight.

    Oh and :D .

    I have 5 character slots... If I use my free 740 cryptic points, 7 character slots :D

    If I just want to test out stuff, I have Tribble test shard for another 5 character slots for testing.

    More is good.... Free is good. Drooooool, slobber, hehe

    QQ

    P.S: I've only used 3 character slots on Holodeck since launch.

    All Im saying is that character slots give people the ability to keep playing the game. Which keeps them paying their monthly sub.

    I have a problem with a company charging for extra ones on top of that monthly sub, when players having extra slots actually benefits Cryptic. Its good for the business.

    Sure you can sell them, and many will buy. I wouldnt. But if they gave people an additional slot or two, that would mean there is a better chance that person might make an alt or two and keep playing longer.

    Why are you being so negative? Boy Kassidy, you should just stow away that negativity and maybe leave us all alone. *drumroll* :rolleyes:

    On a serious note, I had a LOT of alts in WoW way back in the day. I loved trying them out. Im not sure if that would work as well with STO.
