Add Three post-50 Enhancement Slots

[Heatstroke]

Ive always been an advocate of three more slots @ 50. I mean really IMO 50 should feel like your getting SOME kind of reward.. Back in the day 32, 35, 38 you got core Powers from your primary and secondary.. 41 you unlocked epics... 50.. meh... your done..

I don't remember if it was live or SCORE, but they did add slots as an experiment on the test server and it broke a lot of other things.  Maybe it can be done now like Ukase's friend.  Or maybe it's not a big deal with a few people playing vs. a few thousand.  I've played 20+ years without needing more slots.  It would be nice (especially for Kheldians), but it's not a need or even a high priority want . . . at least for me.

 

Some other server was able to figure it out being able to add more slots also, but it was not an easy task.

I believe it has been a topic about how many slots at every other level should be added well back into the beta days of the game.

 

With the introduction of IO sets, I can see the pressure to have more slots, especially when the much needed by support types "defense" enhancements happen on the 5th and 6th of the set. But also for melee the much coveted toxic and psionic resistances tend to be on the 6th slot of an IO set, so they too would have a desire for more slots.

 

Contrasting with this is the game inherent sense of balance, results with the need to compromise DPS for Defensive/Resistance gains

 

Adding slots, would compromise the sacrifice between DPS and Defense/Resistance, too many more slots given and the compromise or balance is gone and would make the game even more easy than it is already.

 

So the question would be, and another player did bring it up, was how many more slots would be acceptable?

 

At first, I noted that for a few levels you only received 2 slots, but at mid levels you received 3 slots, and frankly wondered why? Why not keep all slot giving levels to 2 or make all slot giving levels to 3; but then again I am a bit autistic and I naturally need consistency.

 

I would prefer to make all the slot giving levels to give 3. I do not see how a level 49 power can be 6 slotted, because there are no level 49 slots given and only 3 level 50 slots for a total of 4 enhancements on a level 49 power, please help me understand how could a level 49 power be 6 slotted? If I am correct in my observation, then at 50 you should receive 5 level 50 slots so the level 49 power can be 6 slotted, but again, if you can six slot a level 49 power, please explain how, please realize my touch of autism would like to see a 6 slotted level 49. 

 

Thank you

Thank you

The only way to 6 slot a lvl 49 power is by doing a respec once you hit level 50

With respec now, you pick all your powers first.  Then you are given all your slots to place wherever you want.

 

Unlike the process of powers, slots, power, slots as you level

You didn't read the thread then. We have stated multiple times in the thread how to 6-slot a level 49 power. Like @Ghost just said again, you do a respec.
