This isn’t some kitten gripe about how we only start with five. That’s not the issue. I already bought three more slots for a total of eight. You’re welcome.

My problem is that the loading screen only has room for 7 slots to be displayed at once. This means that one of my characters always gets bumped off the screen and I have to scroll over to reach her. That’s silly. I can get why you wouldn’t have room for infinite slots, and 9+ would be pushing things, but in a game with 8 classes, you can safely assume that a large number of players would make one of each, so having 8 slots on the main screen instead of 7 would just make common sense.

There seems to be plenty of room on the screen for more alts to show.

Yeah I don’t get that either. I mean, they can even add another row and it wouldn’t hurt. Small gripe but it is one I think of every time I log on.

I only have 5 character slots so far but I have to agree with the opening post; seems ridiculous in a game with 8 professions that they limit the visible slots to 7.

I agree.

But when you think about it, I don’t think they actually expected anybody to be a ranger. So there’s your 7

Was gonna reply with a generic post i had to make throughout the beta about 5 races and Anet needed something to monetize… Until i realised the actual point behind this post..

A massive plus one from me. Id like to see all 8 of my characters aswell.

It’s set that way on purpose. To entice people to buy gems. Just like EVERYTHING else in this game

Lol, poor reader comprehension.

Can I have all 40 of my characters visible at once?

Simplicity is complex.

Good feedback is key to getting the developers to listen to you.

I think the character slots should dynamically allocate space based on your screen’s width. So like a 1920px width screen can hold up to 14 or so character slots before it needs to scroll.

You can buy more slot spaces on your screen with gems? O_o
I must have missed that one…

Anyhow, OP has a solid point. I also hope ANet revamps the start up screen, it feels a bit bland and lacking. Could it be too much to ask that they bring back the beta start up in some way or form and incorporate that into a new selection screen.

No, Mr. Roboto.
