Guild Wars 2

just in case you don’t know what i am talking about, this one:

it’s only useful to get a character to lvl 20 but as many players have most characters, if not all, are above lvl 20 it becomes completely useless.
so i perpose a change for the better, not to powerful but still useful.

after lvl 20 you can increase your level to lvl 30, above lvl 30 you can increase your level to lvl35 and so on.
this makes it not to powerful yet useful to get a character on a higher level, and since it is both account bound and rare to acquire it isn’t spamable.

The item is an incentive to make alts. That’s ALL it is. It’s not going to change.

his suggestion still keeps it inline with exactly what you just said. It will just be a more adaptive and usefull incentive for alts. as of now, if my alts or 20 i have no incentive to play them with this item.

I think what anet wont like with it, is the extra programming and unclear messaging attached with it. but really its probably a pretty good idea.

Alts above level 20 are screwed.

They should be a one time use boost of 20 levels that can be used at any level. Anything that goes over 80 gives skill points instead. I have 9 of those totally useless scrolls gathering dust in my bank.

They wouldn’t be so bad but they were given out for 1yr birthdays. Which pretty much ensures that anyone with one has made alts already. As drops from BLC they make sense, but not as a reward for playing the game for a year.

Again, they aren’t a reward. They’re a coupon encouraging you to buy another characters slot.

well your new way of describing it fall more inline with your theory, everything other people are saying are to benefit alts, not nec new slots. However i think such a coupon given for reaching a charachter birthday (the only way to get them i believe) is a bad coupon. It doesnt make me want to buy a new slot

really don’t see why it’s a bad idea, the only other way is to grind for achievement points and that’s not really a fun and rewarding way….
