will we get additional charcter slots?
allience
what i'm wondering most is if we'll get 2 new chatacter slots in nightfall if we add it to our prophecies. it will be unfair if they won't do the same as with factions. any information about this issue?

It would be as understandible that we would get a extra 2 slots as we did in factions. If this is not true there honestlly would be no since in buying nightfall. just wait till chapter 4 and you can have all 4 chapters for the price of 3

completely, totally wrong.if you dont buy Nightfall you will not have access to any of its content just as people who do not have Factions now cannot access is.

every game is standalone but can be merged.
1 gw chapter alone = 4 slots
2 gw chapters merged = 6 slots.
n gw chapter merged = 2n + 2 slots.
1 gw chapter alone = 4 slots
2 gw chapters merged = 6 slots.
n gw chapter merged = 2n + 2 slots.

Agreed with Guinevere, its the only way to please the masses by offering the least of 2 slots *1 for each new profession* and still gaining maximum revenue *since the opportunity to buy character slots is supposed to come into play really soon*
MrGuildBoi
wonder how its gonna fit in the screen :-P

I'm imagining arrows or something on either end to navigate though the character list.

I hope that there will be 2 more slots for buyin nightfall, otherwise that means buying 4 to 5 more slots instead of just 2 to 3.
O well, either way I'll be supporting Arena Net they win I guess.

Yesterday's new build changed the way the character selection screen looks in a few ways. First off, you can now organize your characters in different ways. Second, you now have slightly faded outlines of arrows on the far left and right side of your character slots. This speaks volumes to me.
Why would you need to organize character slots if you only have 6, or with Nightfall, 8 slots? It doesn't seem very necessary at all. Secondly, why do we already have selection arrows on our menu? We aren't getting Nightfall for a few months now and surely they won't be GIVING us new slots?
With evidence like this, how could you not believe that the buyable slots are coming out soon, maybe not this weekend, but without a doubt before the release of Nightfall

It'd be a good marketing strategy for them to release them before the PvP event...because I'm sure there are some people with all slots taken that want to try the event, and would buy a new slot to be able to participate.

yeah thats pretty harsh for the people who have filled theyre char slots.. but thats why i always leave one extra for pvp or something random because ill always need it, and i got 2 accounts with 6 slots anwyays :P

Usually ANET announces when something will happen like this a few weeks before they do.
Like the storage, they announced its release about 2 weeks before we had it, so I'm not entirley sure the timing is right.

Oh nooo :PP That's so harsh, totally been there.
I learned from the Factions pvp weekend. I was stuck with 4 pve characters and I only got to unlock skills, it was lame :P
So now I have a pvp slot heh, thank GOD. I hardly use it, but at least it's there.

It's already been stated there will be no additional preview slots (like last time/no preview key either as far as we know) so that right there is a good indication buyable slots are very imminent. If you don't have any free slots to try it out, what better time to fork over some more cash!
Yes it's business, but it's also kinda sad they're resorting to marketing ploys like this (providing preview keys before but seemingly no longer) Ah well.

Yeah, I got a hunch that ANet will roll out the buyable character slots by the end of this week. Kinda lame, because PvE players who do not maintain a PvP character slot but want to try the new professions are f*cked. They got the choice either to buy a new slot or to delete a character, one that they've probably put a lot of work and time into.

If u REALY wanna try it, u must choose too delete one (id do the on e wich has the least amount spent on it and least time created), but i wont have that problem, cos i use 4 PvE 1 MAIN PvP, and 1 Testbuild PvP
Snowman
should always have one slot just for pvp characters tbh.
This is a pvp preview weekend after all

I am all about buyable slots. If they are around $10 per slot - I'm looking to buy at least 4 more slots! I hate re-rolling.

so what is special with it ?
if its just to see 2 new chars you anyway will see later then i WONT delete a char for that or buy a slot
i didnt buy factions for the 2 new chars infact i dont like them as much as the old ones (not saying they are bad they just didnt appeal to me)
i bought factions for the new world and items

I don't think they will, I suspect there goal is to get the ability to buy a slot up in running and make a bit of cash right before the pre-view event.
They fact there keeping the programmers in 80 degree weather indoors (see other post from Alex) to get fixed asap may be a sign they went it running before the event.

i dunno if its mentioned, but earlier today when i downloaded the first stem of the PvP weekend streams.....i was making room for a PvP character WHEN.......suddenly at the character select screen.....at the top right i had a "Guild Wars Store" logo with a lil shinto looking shrine behind it ( possibly factions) ...this was about 12pm-2pm ...i clicked on it...a connect box would come out, and say could not connect....4 hrs later...cuz i decided to take a break from it....its now gone O_o ... i dont have any screenies.. " cuz im a idiot" but i think it comfirms the buying of additional slots at or beggining of this weekends preview event

I hope we get to buy a slot before the event too. (hint hint anet)
But it says one the website that there will be a profession changer there so our other characters can have a secondary in the new classes.

In reply to the OP, I'm pretty sure gaile said that we most likely will, but she can't say for sure because nothing (exept the two new classes) is "official" yet.
And I'm pretty sure they will *try* to release the option to buy character slots soon. They already put up the store to buy them for about an hourish (At least it was up for an hour after I logged on, and then they updated and took it away. I have no clue how long it was accually up) and then removed it due to so many people trying to access it and a bug, so I bet they want to put it up in time for the event.

guess what? I bought a slot before the store was taken down. It IS $9.99 which came to about $10.81 in Texas (not sure what tax is where you live)
Screenshot of bank statement. Pending because it takes chase a few days to finish transactions

Ok this solves the character slots problem, but how about the real issue of no additional storage!!! I have two copies of Prophecies which are both merged with Factions, so I have 11 characters with 1 slot open with only those two small storage areas... when will this be addressed? Both of my storage areas are filled one with weapons and additional sets of armor (mm/ss) (healer/smiter) and so on, the other with materials which are now stackable (thank you!!!!).
So with the addition of the two new slots for merging acounts with Nightfall, I think its only fair that the triple merge accounts get extra storage spaces.
