Should stats be slot wide? (opinion poll)

elaboration: stuff like hours playerkills professions titles would transfer over to your level one slot. (fame/bounty and clan/guild/faction will be slot exclusive though)

except for hours, because I don’t want to see how much time people spent in total (and I don’t want people to see how much playtime I have)

I mean like what’s the worst it could do?

(most of my hours are on my main anyways)

It would be nice if we had a total stat screen across all accounts— but I also like seeing the disparity between my slots, so we’d probably require a split function where we have both anyways.

If we were forced to have one or the other, I’d prefer the current system: you can always tally every slot’s stats up to the total; pretty much impossible to do it in reverse.

There are some small things that would be better if it was account wide though— like the guide book stuff and some titles.

weird thing is that the kraken slayer title does already transfer… for no reason.
anything you’ve achieved you should just have account-wide rather than per player, I hate that I have NOTHING but a kraken slayer title if I make a new file.

hours should still be independent, it’s more useful for determining how much the player has spent on individual files.

if you did want separate stats, put a little tickbox when creating a character, e.g.
Independent Stats
When you hover over the checkbox/text, it’ll tell you what it does.
just so both parties are happy.

Probably just an oversight. The same thing happened with the True Captain title when that update first came out, but, unlike the Kraken Slayer title, they actually patched the issue.

I agree that titles should save across files. Wiping my main doesn’t un-kill The Omen.

One of the first things I do on a new file is kill the omen so that I don’t have to use that dinky ass kraken title

Oh my god please let me have my professions on other files it would make AO so much more easy to switch builds

professions and titles should just transfer by default but imo there should be both separate and total player stats (kills hours etc etc)

smurfing with a new file instead of an alt would be ruined overnight
