Main problem.

[JiblyjibjibJiblet]

I deleted my main because i wasn't using it, it was a STF character and wanted to make my other char i play often my main but i can't?
There is no option to upgrade it to my main char and i don't see why if this is intended, that i shouldn't be allowed to make an existing char my main.

Enlighten me please.

Check all your characters and see if any of them are set as your main.

[Christo]

You have to make a new character, already existing chars can't be mains after you deleted yours.

[JiblyjibjibJiblet]

Uhh.. ok. so i have to create a char that i will never play to be as my main which is completely and utterly pointless... i see absolutely no point in stopping people from making already existing chars their main.

that is just complete and utter garbage.. needs to be changed. i just spend ages creating a new char with a differant build. spent a day playing it and decided it was 100x more fun than my main. and screw creating the char all over. fucking waste of time..

Just respec your main bro, chill out. If alts could be made main, it would fuck up the marketplace, and Strategus.

Uhh.. if you had read what i said at all, it was STF. its why i deleted it, cant respec. And how would it effect the marketplace.. people would not want to delete the characters they have worked hard on just to sell a weapon or something. And strategus.. some people dont play it. No real point to play it if you live in australia. any server hosting matches is 300+ ping and that is no fun.

Nah. Some people do play Strategus. Well, many in fact. That's the reason why you can't switch mains easily. Otherwise people would just have a few alts and switch the main role between them to always have the right class for the upcoming battle/siege.

1 problem with that. you have to delete your main inorder to make another a main. Soo, i see no problem in making an existing alt your new main. Atleast it was last time i saw it. which was just before. as i couldnt simply swap the main over.. So what you just said is clearly invalid if these people cant simply swap between alts for strategus. I never said anything about being able to just swap the main title around your chars freely. Still having the penalty of having to DELETE your existing main char inorder to select another, which you should be able to choose from existing characters and not have to create a whole new character which is just a waste of time 95% of the time. So what you said is invalid.

Here comes the marketplace. People could give their heirlooms to friends, clanmates etc. delete their main, select a new main and get back the heirlooms they had on the previous char. But yeah at least it makes more sense that way, because the scenario I described isn't really abusing anything as people loose a char that was gen 2+ to switch.

[JiblyjibjibJiblet]

People can still do that now if they wanted to... give heirlooms away. delete. create new main. get looms back. basically free name change without having to retire or slowly change name with the name change feature..

But yet again, why would you do that. You would just respec, you just lose gen bonuses. so its not a gain in any way..    (not including name change, which nobody would give a crap about)

Why would you even make your main a STF character in the first place is what I'm wondering. I guess a foolproof mechanism could be added, i.e a STF character can't be your main/your main can't be STF.

I didn't bother to grind to have a fully enjoyable main char, meaning my main is a stf char.
I started to play a long time ago, i quit crpg for some times, i came back and saw that my char was pretty fucked with gen wipe, recalc, bugs, and patch. What i did? delete this shit and create a new one, I started back and didn't want to grind for life to have a semi decent char, so I skiped the fun, but now I have fun!

on topic : learn to read.

Who are you? why do you tell me to learn to read when my question fitted the OP post just fine?, I asked why OP even made his main char STF in the first place, because the OP post never said why, nothing is wrong with my reading. Skip the fun also explains thoroughly the consequences of choosing it, the consequences are also made obvious when choosing your main from what I remember, learn to read.

It's to prevent item/gold transfers between your own characters. The instructions on your char page already tell you that only a new character can be made into a main if you delete your old one, STF or no.

no, no mate, the learn to read part is not for you!!
It's for the op, as said okiN, it's pretty clear....
