Knighthonor.4061 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 1 for each ClassRest for inventory and sometimes for a temporary look change since I don't change races in MMOs. Asura are hard to see the gear which is an important thing in fashion Wars 2. So I made a Sylvari Ele to be like a temporary fill in not a replefor my Asura Ele. Can't wait for more and better combat tonics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramex.1506 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 3 things-Elite spec: i make 3 chars per profession so i don't have to change build, have just made 6 chars with 250 HPs for the 3rd Elite spec.-Voice line: since you character likes to talk alot so 1 class for each of my 3 favorite races (Asura/Charr/Sylvari), thinking of deleting Norn.-BL keysUnfortunately the problem i faced most is remembering where did i put my legendary/ascended equipments? So i use gw2efficiency a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them are level 80, almost all of them have ascended items.I am driven by many things when making characters. Aesthetic diversity, build opportunities (and their ease of access before templates were a thing), different playstyles, and story decisions (though these are meh, unfortunately).Their specializations are all pretty unique and that's what I've got to say about that.

Teleoceras.1298 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I have 36 characters who have all finished the personal story. While my main is a human mirage, I do like to have a variety with each class and race for specific builds and for stories. When a new story comes out, I always will do it first with my main. Plus I do have certain characters at certain spots for gathering, etc. Variety is the spice of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram.8256 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just for fun. I enjoy exploring, so do the same areas multiple times. I do not do the story on each character. I find the story a bit boring, and have never finished it on any character (on any game). I play just for the exploring and the monster bashing. I do have my favorite 2 characters, a few that got to 80 and retired, and few I mess around for fun every now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel the purpose in redoing the story line or doing the same things over and over again.Other people aren't you. ;) They enjoy beating the same challenges via the new challenge posed by mastering a different profession and having a different approach at things. People who have been playing this game for years don't have much left to do other then doing that. (I would die of boredom if I had to play only 1-3 characters.)

I can't even sum up the motivation to make a new character either because I know I'll just either be grinding, or using tombs of knowledge or a level 80 Auto item and doing the same roller coaster ride all over again when I could just go find a new experience with my main character.I'm having trouble seeing the point. Is it just for PVP purposes to make a specific level 80 for WVW and PVP maybe?If you play high end pve you kinda have to swich ur class between bosses.

voidek.5738 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well I want to try new professions the most, also have at least one character of each race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams.3128 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I do all content so I don't want to switch armors constantly. I also roleplay in my guilds, so different characters to rotate through. Fashion wars is another big thing for me, so of course I need plenty of models, all having different variations of facial and bodily aspects to toy with.

Jenstone.6891 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well, back in the day, I had a set of characters specifically for PvP, WvW and the PvE.And at one point, I had a group that was only for fractals.I don't like transferring stuff between characters, it seems like a waste of time for me.Had to wait 15 minutes once for someone to find and move the accessories over the right character.So in part, efficiency.In GW, I had 54 characters... each one a little different than each other.Pretty much the same in GW2.Back when the NPE happened, I made a couple of characters, just to see how the experience would be different from before NPE (instead of the insta-level).Storage.....And pumpkin pails are cheap and 20 slots....

Jimbru.6014 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 My current catalog of 80s...Human male Power Soulbeast: My seven year old main, used for the whole story line, WvW, and generally the first pass at everything in game.Charr female Pistol Deadeye: She's Rox to my main's Braham. Love seeing six digits on the damage counter.Charr male Support Scourge: My favorite PVE 5-man grouping character, and nearly impossible to die in open world unless I screw up. Considering rebuilding him for WvW.Asura female Staff Mirage: My cute character and arguably my "second main".Asura male Banner Warrior: Started as a RP idea, great for spinny axes and grouping.Asura male Juggernaut Scrapper: Asura mad scientist with a flamethrower, tanky soloing and spamming defense in groups. What's not to like?Deleted 80s...Norn female Revenant: Never found a build I truly liked, forgot whatever my original RP conception for the character was, goodbye.Sylvari male Guardian: Good RP concept, but no heavy armor class should be so squishy. Might get remade eventually if I ever figure it out build wise.In progress...Norn male Necromancer: Destined to be a huge scary Reaper.Asura female Ranger: Destined to be a druid with group roles in mind.So, different RP ideas. Different characters for different group roles and modes of play. Maybe I just feel like playing X character today. Many reasons to make multiple level 80s.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it here, but there's many achievements tied to a specific class or species. That's why I created my alts. And when I'm not completing those achievements, I use them for all the other reasons people have listed here.

thepenmonster.3621 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 a. Lots of quest loot to salvage and then sell the mats to crafters on the TP.b. New norn waifu.c. Fashionable bank slot expansion.But I hear you. I have made enough alts to play through all of the story paths just for the experience, but that was done with a year or two ago. I now have a main and one experimentation alt and five empty character slots I feel no need to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goettel.4389 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 For me it's enjoying GW2's leveling. No other MMO has managed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryTT.4792 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I have a level 80 for each class. While I play thief most often, all of them have both elite specializations. (So far, the only Elite specializations I have been using is Daredevil.) I have two more level 80 thieves, because I came up with a couple of names I found funny. I swap between the thieves for most things.On and off I do key runs. I liked the cut of HMS Keymaster XXV's (I think) jib, so I had kept her around for a while. I decided to make her a real girl, so boosted her to 80, got a name change kit and she joined the crew. She took part in the daily Grothmar Map completions and will work on core map completion eventually. Each one will get a turn in the Labyrinth this Halloween.
