    Default let us lock xp gain out

    I think we should be able to lock out xp gain. Twinking in DL hasn't taken off and I think not being able to lock out xp is a big reason why. I have a toon that I'm trying to keep at level 10 but by keeping it at 10 I'm missing out on alot of things such as:

    1) can't collect gold at the end of map. (Ok, this one is more of a hassle than a big deal)
    2) can't do the nightly rewards because they give 50 xp.
    3) can't do the ally things because they give xp.
    4) not being able to finish all the 3d maps and not being able to do the ally's doesn't let me progress past the first 3 or 4 campaigns. Playing the same 3 or 4 campaigns is boring and makes me not want to play. Not playing = not spending plats.

    Benefit to STS: Twinking starts to become popular in DL. Existing players will want to deck out their noob characters in vanities which they will spend Plats for (you guys like plats, right?). They will also spend Plats (I have your interest now, don't I?) on PLAT gear (ohh! he said PLAT again!) for their noobie noobs.

    Also, you should give us a total of 3 free character slots AND lower the price of extra character slots (WHAT?! did he say LESS plats?!) At first it may seem like you'll be making less plats this way but as it is now people just create separate accounts and spend no plats on extra toons (what!!! what!!! NO PLATS!) But, this is a hassle for players and I think most would be willing to spend about 10 plats on an extra toon slot and not have the hassle of logging out, remember emails and passwords, etc. (hey, 10 plats is better than 0 plats).

    Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
    Sincerely,

    Robert the Great

    the drops need to be fixed to. I've decided to stop gaining xp at level 11 and most of the pink gems and weapons I can get are level 12 and up. You need to make it so we can farm items we can use.

    I've been playing with the idea of dedicating specific characters to specific areas, which doesn't solve the xp issue, but I just gotta pipe in

    Haven't done it yet, but still thinking about it. Would use different accounts probably.

    Lol. Carapace is good at responding to the suggestions he likes. I'm assuming this isn't one of them! Haha!

    I don't see why xp lock would be undesirable for STS. Maybe the alt slots idea wouldn't be to their liking, but I think you presented a great argument for a change.

    XP lock, I do not see any downside. In fact, I only see upside.

    I will add this to my list, I believe it's supported in PL already and wouldn't be terribly difficult. I can't promise a timeline or that it will get in anytime soon though. Thanks for the feedback

    I have an alt I froze at level 12 for a while. I soloed all the way to the end and killed Kriegberg solo with him (used a lot of blood packs!) in order to gain access to all the missions. Before the update that made it so you had to glyph out to earn xp/gold, there was no way to farm for pinks for lowbie without gaining xp since killing boss automatically "finished" the mission whether you liked it or not. Since that, though, it is now possible to farm for pinks! Give it a try.

    Farming for pinks isn't the issue.
