So want to ask to post it in official forums,thx in advance.So my idea is each week 2-3 toons to be free for limited time and as u know silver members cant have more than 2 slots so this could make them test others/to buy if like and this will make them to donate for more char slots etc.I cant pay for anythink game related so this idea would be nice and give chance to everyone to test.Dont see cryptic lose anythink from this plus u cant have more than 2 heroes 1 main and other slot for test one/.This would encourage people test each other toon skils and some may purchase subs.My english aint right so sry for mis spells

Hmm. I think I get the idea of what you're saying. So, each week, a new type of character (IE: Void, Inventor, Devastator) opens up for demo purposes on a Silver account, allowing the players to experiment and see if they like it before they buy it?
I think that might be a good idea, although it would have to be either level capped or for a very limited time (a day or so). In an entire week, it's quite possible to blaze your way to 40, so there needs to be some kind of cap to keep it from going outside of demo purposes. It'd be a good way for people to figure out if the AT "clicks" with them or not, though.
The technical feasibility is another matter, as things like that tend to be a big deal for them to implement. If it's doable, it could be a viable way to help sell ATs.

This game needs more "try before you buy". All we have now is "oh, that looks cool. Should I buy?"

Slight tangent but I'd love for a 'test tube' character area like the powerhouse where you you could 'trial' almost anything out.
Example, I think I'd like a Void character, I jab a "trial this AT" button and it drops me with a level 40 default model Male or Female into a locked powerhouse so I get chance to see what's good/bad about the AT and test all the powers before committing to buying it/rolling up a character.

I agree. It would be something like the powerhouse. probably on the log in screen or something though, cause I don't see how they would let you do it already logged in then playing different arch types, be A LOT of work lol. Like I said it would probably be on the log in screen, and it takes you to a type of powerhouse offline for yourself where you can briefly test out any arch type at different power levels

Considering you also want to try it out on live targets, it needs some AI, so would still need to be on the server, but yeah, just a single instance, say in a small dungeon like one of the PvP arenas. Few mobs that respawn for the damaging/buff/debuff/pet testing, few friendlies to test the heals out on and maybe some travel options for them, too.
Haven't seen the code, so don't know how easy it would be to do, but the code for the instances is there, the code for the powerhouse trainer is there, and everybody that tried that AT would be working off of the same toon, so same stats and look and everything, just a copy of the base toon.
