Linking Alts.

So SWTOR has this system in which all your Alts are related. I think this idea or something similar would work in ashes.

That's all I got was just a random idea.

Ps love ashes!

    I think the idea was that Steven wanted some form of inter-guild espionage. And, if all your alts were obviously connected, that'd make that more difficult.

    I'm hoping we'll get some sort of Alt-transfer/storage, though. Seems kinda wild to have to keep logging in and out on multiple characters and having to trade away to others what you want to swap.

    I can see issues of someones main being a guildie and they make a alt just to mess with other guilds and do things that maybe frowned upon. Should be some connections between alts. But we cant have everything.

    I'd like a "family" name tied to the account's characters. Or something of that nature. Even with inner guild espionage I see most guilds that are serious making members stream their character logon screen anyways. Some players will use two accounts though. A family name will just make a little harder to play both sides with different characters and make it easier for guilds to vet members. Other wise it'll be like always looking over your shoulder for that dagger in your bag, that'll get old fast for any guild leadership.

    I would like a way to link alts to a guild too. For example I'd like take an alt character and join the same guild as my main character, but that alt character shouldn't count towards the guilds member count. Technically it's two characters but one player, and only one character can be on at a time, I just don't see a need for it to count towards the guilds member count. This would help ease the Guild-1, Guild-2, naming ect. maybe I'll make a post about this and see how much attention it gets.

    I would like a common bank/storage thing so crafter alts can pass around mats, gear and currency to avoid always having to start a toon from scratch or bother guild people to facilitate numerous and mundane trades.

    Your issues are Steven's design here. The entire point of having alts in different guilds is to do things that will be frowned upon. That's what Steven wants in the game.

    the family tree system? so you could have force powers on your bounty hunters and vice versa?
    Assuming one of the "parents" were a force user.

    I am a fan of the espionage aspect of it. My concern was people will sometimes create alts just to cause shit and there won't be any repercussions for it.

    I guess im just over thinking issues here..

    Still so keen.

    Sounds awesome, I really enjoyed that from SWTOR. Myself as much as I would love to see support for alt-aholics but I would like to see this post launch. IS has allot on their plate to get this out in a timely manner. They have clawed back a bunch of content to try and do that.

    The repercussions will be present for the guild itself, because if they can be affected by a rogue spy - they were a weak guild. All of this is still more than within the design.

    it was a decent game at its time. I still remember all the pvp on Ilum at launch. I didnt mind how your choices in the results affected your affinity and story options (IE light, neutral, dark)
