Ah I see, Absor hasn't changed in the last 12 years. Still same old Absor, coming up with excuses as always or if its not that its the blame game.

No benefit there. It is a standard "New Character" so you

• Start at level 1
• Can choose a different Class, Race, and Gender
  • Must be different class. Only 1 of each class can be used
• Can use Heroic Boosts to start at 85 or 100
• Need to purchase each alt-slot from Marketplace or with Expansion purchase
  • 3x standard
  • 5x-7x for the higher tiers

Tab replaces "Spirit Shrouds", with those now available from Spirit Shroud NPCs.

So if you have 3 persona, you'd need 3 full sets of Class-specific Gear, Weapons, Clickies, different Power Sources, and much more.
In the same inventory & bank.

Benefit - Frees up character slots.

Personas will be amazing, if they allow you to switch classes, on the same character. Bard to travel easily with fade, double invis(or rogue for invis) then switch to your mage persona and coth the group, then chanter/shammy and buff, maybe wiz to TP lol. I guess it's better than having to log on 4 different alts to do all that. It will be fun, but I'm sure if it does get released, it will get nerfed to nothingness, like an hour cooldown or something ridiculous like that.

I can see them forcing a "zone to" your bind or home point when changing personas with something like a 30 second cast/activation time so as to not use as an evac. Or make it so you have to be out of combat.

Meh if I want to multiclass I'd play Chainbreaker emu

2 missions that we will be farming for anywhere from 18 - 20 slot 5 augs. That sounds like its going to be a blast.

Do people not realize now instead of doing 4 missions for 45 currency eat a 180 now you get 2 at 135 each for 270? I understand being butt hurt over not doing 4 missions but still more efficient for your "statement" of farming augs only.

Seem pointless none the less, Still have to level the toon, and get a full set of gear etc. mine as well make a secondary toon. Anyone that is on the Redguides forums most likely uses MQ. So reality it isnt difficult to level a character and gear it out.

If i dont want to use a mage woot i can persona to a rogue. but still need to level and aug etc. mine as well just make a nother character and use it. same concept just adding some button to make money is all

I only usually farm the tank and spank missions anyway so as long as one is bot friendly it’s def a win to me.

missions are not box friendly...

 

[blackmarble]

I watched someone streaming the mission. Seemed like pita, not box friendly. 5 raid geared people from end game guild, failed several times (4 or 5), idk if they beat it eventually.

I really don't see how alternate personas can work in a way that isn't just super frustrating. For example lore items. If you wanted to switch from one class to another that uses the same heroic stats, then you'd have to manually swap out all your augments from one set of gear to another.... every time you switch.

That's not even getting into type 3 augs for gear that you might want to wear on both classes, like Rallos Zek earring for example.

I do LOVE the idea of it, but I just don't have a lot of faith this dev team has the time to make it work like people want it to.

Yup, those questions have been asked in the DB persona thread.. /crickets so far

 

[jande]

missions are not box friendly...

welp then Im out Ill skip this years type 5's / mission augs, over 4k anyway so the return for more hdex is minimal

Yeah I am that frustrated with this xpac, specially love the land sharks /once again

What amazes me about us humans, absor said probably 2 missions, now people are taking that probably as there will defenitly be 4 again /facepalm, looks to me they are so far behind schedule that it may not even be released December 2023

Can tell you the heros forge one ATM is not Bot Friendly. have to dodge aura on everyone but tank, pass off a web and burn the final guy. as well as getting the lich guy down asap because he ports around with some shit ass aura

Their is only 1 mission out ATM unless they fixed the other one this morning. and it is most definatly a pita. top 5 raid guild group with new raid weps etc died when slow rolling it

LEM to the rescue?

 

[Doc James]

What if the personas thing is implemented so they can restrict each account to 1 character slot? I haven't thought of a good reason why they would do such a thing, but some things the devs do don't make any sense anyway. So....

[durango773]

Actually not sure if this effects what was discussed in mq2mage also its dec, so even if it does change, more of a "note going forward".

 

[pepsipepsi]

After thinking on it some more, Alternate Persona is really just going to be a way to reroll your main. It won't be something you'll be just be switching back and forth on.

Seem's sooner than I was was expecting.

 

[blackmarble]

Is anyone brave enough to try personas? I think I'm going to wait few months, not willing to risk losing my main.

 

[paasch]

Personally it wont entice me as im boxing, but i do think its a good thing especially if you cant or wont box, but just imagine being solo and grinding along then suddenly coming up against a locked door, bang swap persona your suddenly a rouge do your thing and swap back. Another scenario maybe your plodding away at tradeskills and suddenly you realise you need an enchanter cant find one, i know ill use my persona. This is the way I think it should work as anything that helps the community grow and keep players benifits us all.

 

[Rusang]

Anyone want to share the fastest way to get some beta tokens? I haven't gotten a chance to beta, but can spare some time to log in for some easy ones.

It's amazing for travel. You can turn your beastlord/warrior/sk whatever, into a bard and run with selo/double invis/fade to wherever you need to go, then switch to a mage and CotH your group, then back to your main for instance. It basically is a way for your main, to have access to abilities from other classes, like CotH, TP, Bard invis/fade/selos, picklock, tracking, buffing etc.. I don't look at them as alts. I won't gear them up much or bother leveling them past whatever I need to, to get the abilities/spells I want to use. I have enough alts lol. It really is amazing that you can switch to a class and use their best signature abilities and spells.

This video shows an easy way to get them.

Smoke and mirrors, we were not hitting the damage cap anyway that is not the reason why pure melee sucks.


And here we are asking for more missions, this is going to go across like a lead balloon.
Doing the same 2 missions over and over ... boring


Inventory will be shared so no clickie refarming (mount/port/illusion whatever) what you already have. No refarming for trophies or the personal raid achievment rewards, hero's forge (if you have it on the character).
If you are a class that cannot solo, not really wanted in group can then switch to persona to do things.

My expectation for persona's is that it will be a dumpster fire, not the dev not the project manager seems to know what it is supposed to do. There is a thread on beta where a dev said ask questions (11 oct), people did, nothing answered and its now the 19th, a full workweek later.

Meh @jande i said this months ago...a worthless feature for Redguides community. Why would I want to switch from any of my awesome main chars for an alt persona...f...that just roll a new account and get an extra...whatever...

Same reason shrouds are fucking useless to me...

While we all get 3 persona minimum, I find it so odd a choice for them to give this ability of everyone to be everything at a whim. Such a convoluted concept, for giving a melee caster abilities. Could have easily just added some new focus tab on AA at some crazy cost like 300 AA per other class ability(even a money cost). Every Rogue can be a supreme being. It no longer matters what you play, to a degree?
