Blizzard on Limit of Talent Loadouts - Storage Limitations, Addon Solutions
Blizzard replied to questions about the limit of the character talent loadout settings. Currently, players can only store up to 10 different loadouts, which, according to Blizzard, was added due to storage concerns since loadouts are stored together with other character data.
As the blue post points out, while this is a heavy limitation for characters that do multiple types of content, there are very robust addon solutions that help alleviate these issues. Here are a couple of the most popular ones:
- Talent Tree Tweaks
- Talent Loadout Ex
- Improved Talent Loadout
- Talent Loadout Manager
Can we please either significantly increase the number of loadouts or remove the cap entirely?
Thanks!
Hi Lenarius,Great question! We store these talent loadouts on the server so that you have access to them on any device you log in on. However, because we’re persisting this data, this is one of the many parts of the game service where we need to be mindful of storage requirements. It may not feel like a lot, but all of the saved talent builds across all the characters in WoW really adds up, so we have to be intentional about even small additions to the memory footprint of a character. Fortunately, for players who want to save more information than we allow server-side, there are addons that let you save and manage many more loadouts locally to a device.
