[Suggestion] Replace the charater slot with material storage expander in the Steam 2k gems package

[Valisha.8650]

More character slots are not quite needed for newbs, and they would much rather use more than 250 storage of each material, once they get to farming berries and similar resources to ascend their first/second character.

Unless you're hunting legendary, you'll not need the storage expander, but new character slot is nice when you are discovering the game and trying out all the classes, so it's way more adapted

500 is bare minimum, since some items can cost more than 250 of a certain resource - such as the aforementioned ascended gear for berries

Ehh, i'd rather have a character slot as a new player when there's 9 classes and 5 x 3 personal story branches. Honestly, i'd rather have at least 9 free slots with expansions, or at least each one giving 2 with purchase if it's a 100$ model but i mean. 50-100$ buy to play, 10$ character slots, 5$ haircuts, 30$ unbreakable tools, 5-15$ mount skins and 5-10$ salvage kits qol is the model i suppose. Still nice they at least give us like 20 leveling tomes a month though.  

Character slots for me, imo, are MUCH more useful than 250. if i run over 250, i just use a character as a 70 slot bank that can easily hold 250 x 70 of whatever resource overflows. if it's tradable i sell it, if it's 500 berries.. Just use one bank slot. If it's 2000 dragonite ore or eternal ice, the alt has 8x 250 stacks of those. A slot is so much better for me with packmule inventory management. But adding both probably wouldn't hurt either too.

I mean.. if someone is spending 100$ + 30$. For a game that well. advertises itself on consumer friendliness, it's not like it directly costs money and it gives a taste, but i know we're just dreaming haha. XD

A character slot was one of the first things I bought from the gem store, a month or two after getting the game and I've bought several more since then. I didn't buy a storage expander until several years after they were first introduced and I'm not planning to get more than the one I've already got because I don't need them.

When I was new if I ran out of space to store a material I took it as a sign to go and level up my crafting some more. Later on it was a good source of gold from selling the excess. I've only needed more than 250 of a resource for specific purposes, and then it's only a few at a time so I can store the excess in my bank or a character's inventory until I use it.

I suppose it's useful if you want to be able to make a legendary at short notice or something, but of the two I'd much rather have a character slot, especially when new.

20 slot bags on a new char = 250* 100 storage 😏

let's rephrase this a little:

"More character slots are not quite needed for Farming accounts, and Alts would much rather use more storage of each material, once I get to farming berries and similar resources for money."

Of course let's not mince words here. Higher item salvage stacks, material expansion and bag slots should be available in game, not gem store.

 

I know it's too late now but I really wish that the gem store was cosmetic and account stuff only. Account "stuff" being things like new character slots and level boosts.

Cash shop is the compromise for a lack of subscription, it's easy to call it optional but it's not without consequences as people like the pretend.

Yeah, I completely disagree. I'd rather have new character slots. If I'm new to the game (or well, when I was new to the game) I valued trying all the new professions, or trying different races, over being able to store more materials. I didn't even have many materials as a new player - I hadn't really discovered crafting or gathering.

[Tukaram.8256]

As a new player I would find character slots much more useful than material storage. It takes a long time for a newbie (a real newbie) to hit 250 in any material.  Backpack slots might be more useful, but character slots are good because newbies may want to try out numerous avatars to find one they like.
