My first ever character (a Warrior) is my main. I have 14 max titles on him, the most recent being Guardian of Elona.

I do play my other characters... well, I'm in the process of getting every other character to Legendary Survivor. I've got 2 already with 3rd and 4th on the way. (Yes, for HoM.)

My first Legendary Survivor is my Para and I've got the 3 Protectors and still haven't died.

It's fun to play with more than one character, although for max titles... not so fun.

Especially for Hard Mode titles.

Oh, I've got 10 PvE characters. 1 for each profession.

I'm the same like most of you, I have 1 main (my first one i ever made) so no survivor title for him. and 9 others (1 of each prof) and 1 pvp mule.

I title grind for that 1 and the other chars i just beat each chapter for each and get all the elite skills and regular ones and maybe all the towns too, not much else, except the odd time when people need a certain class i can change quickly.

heh, well I have 15 lvl 20 characters, all have beaten at least 1 campaign. Most have completed 3 and a couple have completed GW:EN. IMO I enjoy being able to take spells of playing 1 type of character for a while. Typically what happens is that I play 1 specific character through a campaign once it is released then move on to another, once they are all complete, or all that I can tolerate through a campaign, I revisit several of them. I typically will pick one and play it for a while, get bored and go to another, just gives me greater variety. I am not a total title wh0re, but I do have 7 max titles on one of them, and 4 on a couple others. I wouldnt want to only be able to play 1 specific class all the time in pve, it gets old

I am once again in my phase of making just one main.
So I decided to make a completely new mesmer - since the fun for me is building up a character. So this boy is planning on doing pretty much everything he can.
Although we'll see how long this will last - since I might find myself missing my necro to much! The ritu I can live without because the reason why I enjoyed him the most is getting more and more trashed with each update (protection spirits that is!) - but living without the necro and especially Soul Reaping might be a bit harder.

I still use my other characters though - as storage and as a way to make some gold - I mean if the chests do get refilled - I might as well visit them!

Playing alts is handy as well since the introduction of heroes. As you can open up more skills for them as your alts gain them. im finding it quite handy for building up a nice selection of abilities for the heroes to be equipped with.

All my chars are L20 but i still have way to much questing to do on most of them all. They all at diffrent stages throughout the 4 campaigns.

DFrost · Oct 22, 2007, 02:08 PM // 14:08

I used to play multiple characters a lot but ever since the introduction of titles I've been concentrating more and more on a single character both consciously and subconsciously... not necessarily a good thing.

Aera Lure · Oct 22, 2007, 02:09 PM // 14:09

I have all but assassin. I love having the variety of characters. Its a lot of fun. Thing is, heroes not being cross account, titles and severe storage issues have relegated all but my monk to storage characters and I'm quite sad about that.

Not much I can do though. All the armors, head pieces and weapons for my monk fill almost all of storage, with a few slots left for moving items around. She carries required items and quest objects, having space to actually pick things up. That leaves the others full to every slot of their own items and then storage of a particular thing - extra runes and weapons for different hero builds, some insignias and inscriptions, some collectors things. As it is I have had to ditch a lot of stuff. Its a monumental hassle and cannot multiply it by nine. Only real reason I dont get out other characters anymore. I seriously have no idea what Anet is thinking with the storage limitation and issues caused by armor sets and heroes. Solve storage and I'd actually play my other characters, even given titles.

Longasc · Oct 22, 2007, 02:17 PM // 14:17

10 Chars, one of each profession.

But I play only my Necro nowadays. As all I do for the next two years is to grind for the Hall of Monuments.

There are too few account based things, and title grind rewards focus on one. And I am not really keen on doing the same mission with the other chars over and over.

I hope GW2 will have more account-based stuff or ideally totally get away from the cancer called titles that became the focus of GW1 nowadays.

Exactly.

I think the insight and fun you get when playing another class gets lost when you focus on one char only. But you are basically disadvantaged when you spread your pve skill title grind or title grind of any kind over many chars, sadly enough.

I have one primary character with 3 secondaries. My primary enjoys the only suit of obsidian armor plus several high end weapons, along with my most prestige titles. My other characters have at the very least elite armors with green weapons and either an account based title or a protector title.

Nonetheless, having my other 3 characters allows me to shift gears every once in a while to keep things a bit more interesting. Not only that, but one of my secondary characters has amazing farming synergy with my primary, so I have several options on how to get gold.

Defrayer · Oct 22, 2007, 02:21 PM // 14:21

I used to have a character of almost all professions, until I had a burn-out and deleted all of them but my main. That felt really refreshing, and now all title-hunting is concentrated on my main, the new ones are just leveling up and unlocking skills. I don't like to grind a lot, so doing all the stuff again with 8-10 characters was overwhelming me. But now I can concentrate on the essential: my ranger.

Jetdoc · Oct 22, 2007, 02:27 PM // 14:27

I have five characters that represent all 10 classes. I focus solely on one character at a time (i.e. taking them completely through a campaign, including doing all side quests) before I think about touching another.

For me, that keeps the game fresh...

raven214 · Oct 22, 2007, 02:40 PM // 14:40

I originally wanted to have one character for each profession, but there are too many professions and not enough time for me, at least.

I used to have a sorta "1st string" of 3 or 4 characters -- a ranger, warrior, monk, and necro, but sadly real life has gotten too busy to let me play all of them regularly (not to mention my other "2nd string" chars). I've realized that with what little time I have to play now, I can either be decent/good with one character/profession/set of titles/HoM, or be mediocre/average with several. So now I basically just play my ranger -- he's always been my "true" main and favorite.

Maybe if/when I max everything I want to for him, I can then work on my others, but for the foreseeable future my other characters are just for messing around with when I want to try something different, or storage.

bryann380 · Oct 22, 2007, 02:43 PM // 14:43

I have one of each profession but my main favorites are my monk and spear assassin. Never had Kind of a Big Deal on any character yet but I'd like to someday.

Neo Nugget · Oct 22, 2007, 02:47 PM // 14:47

I have toooo many lvl 20's :P.

I usually play 1 when i feel like a change of pace, at that rate i will never have a full HoM.

Toutatis · Oct 22, 2007, 03:00 PM // 15:00

I currently have 7 characters on the go. The dominant character is my Mesmer, and he's the character I put the majority of my efforts into. They other characters all get their turn when I fancy a change of pace or when the situation calls for something completely different.

Bazompora · Oct 22, 2007, 03:09 PM // 15:09

I only have 1 main character, because of 2 reasons:

attaining perfection is an eternal process and thus too long to start over;
my main character is me, and from that RP point of view, it makes no sense to have more than 1.

Painbringer · Oct 22, 2007, 03:09 PM // 15:09

I go through stages My Ranger has the titles but I rather play my Memser and my Necro and my Rit. I also always have a empty slot to create play kill create play kill I like the noob areas too

Spellforge · Oct 22, 2007, 03:11 PM // 15:11

I only PvE.
I've never deleted a character
I started with a Prophercies Warrior/Ele , got as far as ring of fire and got bored
Started a Monk/Necro and Ranger/Mesmer - Took them through prophercies alternating. Doing a Mission with one then replaying it with the other - never more than 2 missions apart. The Monk got to Ring of Fire - The ranger to Thunderhead Keep.
Factions came out - created a Canthan Necro - Finnished factions with that necro , took Necro to Tyria - Got to Forge.
Took my other 3 Chars all through Factions - All Finished it.
Took 3 characters all through Nighfall , Monk only one not to finish it - She's in Vabbi
Warrior and Necro both done GWEN - Ranger is a third through it , Monk not yet started.

I'm most enjoying playing my Warrior and the Necro and getting PvE skills for them - I'll probably also do the ranger but it gets harder to want to do my monk.

At some point I really should finish off prophercies with one of my chars (intend to with warrior and Necro) I don't do titles except seeker of wisdom for the monk , thought it would suit. The monk gets all the gold everyone else gets to ID them.

I intend on only having the Warrior and Necro contribute to any characters created in GW2

Nemo the Capitalist · Oct 22, 2007, 03:53 PM // 15:53

pkodyssey · Oct 22, 2007, 04:20 PM // 16:20
