Allow Ability To Change Our Advanced Class

cute hypothetical. unfortunately extreme circumstances don't really bolster an argument well.

and why would you have to carry two sets of armor? no one is going to make you respec. you act like you would suddenly be forced to flip flop your spec every other day. no one is holding a gun to your head

Not against people having fun, but if you can make such drastic changes why have character archetypes at all. Just make it a free for all where everyone can fill all roles. I am a bit of an old-schooler on this one. Pick a character, stick with it. There should be some variability within the archetype, but if you are just going to allow people to switch to completely different types, then don't have classes at all.

No, because AC's are different classes. Bioware was stupid for using "Advanced Classes" as the tag for classes (read: people think they aren't due to how BW named them.).

If there were 8 classes to choose from at creation no one would be saying we should be able to switch afterwards.

Name one other game where you just pay for a total class change? This game takes so many ideas from WoW and other MMO's where class is final. You need to stop thinking of AC as just another spec and think of it as a distinct class.

why though? how does someone switching their AC affect you in any way shape or form? or are you just against people having fun?

its not like people are switching from jedi to commando. how does allowing people to switch their AC make it a free for all where everyone can fill in all roles? you're still only filling in one role at a time, with the ability to switch between 2 roles. its not like I'm going to switch my merc to a jedi.

i can effect others though. the time spent playing 10-50 is teaching people how to play the class and the ac they have picked. To change after so long it completely changes how that toon will play from then on. Then that person has to take the time re learning skills and abilities. This could work except what if that person goes into to a hm fp or an op with no clue how the new skills work it hurts everyone playing with that person. Also not every shares armor and weapons. Example: going from a guardian to a sentinel you lose the ability to wear heavy armor thus you no longer have any from of gear or a shadow to a sage you can not use your weapons anymore.

SWG.

did i mention how hilarious it is that you guys will ramble on and on about how tihs game isn't WoW, then turn around and say things like "hurr we shouldn't have AC changing because you can't do that in WoW."
