Deadly Moonshiner.1354 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have 11 characters. One for each profession originally. Then due to the lack of build templates (and I really hate changing builds and equipment manually) I created the 2nd character for classes I play the most - ranger and necro. The classes I don't play much are mostly used as storage mules and few of those less used ones are also grandmaster crafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelFoley.6290 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I really enjoy levelling. Hence I start new Toons rather than end game stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikigami.4013 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 45 - I think.Because you can never have too many mesmers to portal people to hard spots. Also each account I have needs to have one necro. And a storage char because I am a hoarder and can never have enough space. Also I need many Asura. Because Asura will rule all of Tyria (insert evil laughter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Oops, I forgot my second account, where I have 2 more (ranger and engineer) so that brings my total up to 13 permanent, plus a spare slot which may or may not be in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf.9150 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 25 currently, but many came before that didn't make the cut (characters I kept for a short while, then deleted). But once they reach a certain age, they are there to stay (though may change form/name...even gender). I have multiples of the races except for Charr, I only have one of those just so I have one, but though I love watching them run on all fours, I don't care for their upright movements and fighting animations (or how they look on mounts). I have at least two of every class so I can try both elite specs, but the classes I like the most get multiples, some specially geared for WvW, some for Fractals, some for open world :) Love my alts.

Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have 7 permanent characters. One for each class, except for Warrior and Ranger. I just don't like those classes. There's also an 8th character I make that regularly to key farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneQR.7412 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 One for each profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehenna.3625 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I just made my 8th...one of each profession minus engineer. I still have to get one of those... I actually don't like the class, but I want to complete all the specialization collections. I just hate leveling in this game so I'm saving books again to skip levels (I just used most of what I had to make a level 80 revenant). I have six human females and 2 female norns. Number 9 will be a human female again. I'm not into playing other races and male characters just look too caricatural to me. My main also gets 90% of my playtime (guardian).

Tailcoat.6920 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 4, but would like to make more in the future to try different professions and looks. I mostly play as my 1st, the Asura Reaper, since at level 80 with the most map unlocked, that character can travel a lot more than my others for dailies 'n such.

Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 One of each class and the rest are additional mesmers. Since it's my main and most played class, I like to keep a few different builds handy for different gamemodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berelious.3290 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have multiple reasons for making new characters. For example two of my characters are Halloween themed, and are designed to be "relatives" to Mad King Thorn. Some I've left at the end of jumping puzzles. Others I made so I can play different professions and specializations. And one I made as a joke to an old guildmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have 25 of my 31 slots in use (I tend to buy slots when they are on sale, in case I want to make new characters later).I started with all five base slots filled as of early access. Based on beta testing for what I enjoyed and planned to RP, I made a human male Thief, a charr female Elementalist, a sylvari female Guardian, an asura female Mesmer, and a human female Warrior (still have all of them). Then I bought up slots to get the remaining professions, adding a pair of Norn for Engineer and Ranger. Then I started getting more genders for the races, in different armor weights. Occasionally I'd make a character for RP reasons, or to play around with alternate builds, or just to get another weight of armor for cultural armor purposes. I always wanted some empty slots in case I just wanted to fiddle around with character creation -- it's a great way to make pictures of your characters' family members without using up slots -- and for the sporadic key running I occasionally remember to do. Once the expansions came out, if it didn't suit a character to be the new Elite, I had to make a new one designed to work with the new outlook. (Biggest example there was Firebrand -- neither my waifish sylvari Guardian nor my ex-Seraph slobby dimwit human Guardian made sense for a scholarly-oriented elite).So now the tally is:Human Male -- Daredevil, Dragonhunter, Chronomancer, Soulbeast, WeaverHuman Female -- Chronomancer, Scourge, Berserker, Holosmith, Deadeye, FirebrandSylvari Male -- Mirage, SpellbreakerSylvari Female -- Dragonhunter, ReaperNorn Male -- ScrapperNorn Female -- Druid, Reaper, HeraldAsura Male -- Reaper (made him to check a second racial PS)Asura Female -- ChronomancerCharr Male -- HeraldCharr Female -- TempestThe remaining two are a name placeholder for the Sylvari Mirage's secret identity, now enough years old it will never be deleted due to birthday gifts, and a newish sylvari Thief likely to become a Daredevil once I figure out a name change. The RP story in which he was an NPC established a name that is taken in game. One of the two Heralds should become a Renegade, I just haven't gotten around to traiting and gearing and learning the mechanics of it yet.

Kal Spiro.9745 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 21, three full sets on the main screen. I actually have 22, because I have one on a second account, but I always intended to give it to someone else.Initially it was a plan to have each class, then it became an interest in different builds, but I have no interest in carrying different gear so I make new characters. Also it allows me to come up with different outfits.@"Talindra.4958" said:I have exactly 20 at the momenttwo missing in the picture here, 1 of that is a key farmer :pI like to create characters so it will increase over time slowly :DAre those to the correct scale?

Phoenix the One.4071 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Need one of each profession, since E-specs opens up for Fashion not obtaunable without the profession... and got two guardians for some reason.Also having a hard time settle for a main, since all professions brungs something interesting imo.

nottsgman.8206 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have 70 and I'd have more if I could. why? because I really enjoy creating new characters, creating different builds for them, putting their armor together and giving them their own stories.

SunTzu.4513 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have 9 Chars. But i have only played my necro wich is my old main (6k hours played) and also was my first char and my Mesmer (900 hours played) for a decent amount of time. The other chars are only there to stand at some farming spots and to do the fashion wars. Sometimes i wished i had played them more often but i have a real completist issue. It drives me mad over time if i don't have every map completed on a char wich i play more often. Also i wanted all ascendet gear/weapons/trinkets and at least the used main weapon as a leggy on a char wich i play regular. Can't really get over this, so i burned out on farming and doing map completion on all of this chars over and over again wich results in a longer break. Now i'm back in the game changed my main to a charrdian and so far i woul never looking back to my other toons. For me the Charrdian is the complete package.
