A near 20 Sith Juggy, alone on the fleet. Too depressing to see the number just at 1 so log out. But the destination has a same level Marauder so I can still get my Sith on.
Yeah , their idea that the time spell between phase 1 and phase 2 be about 3-4 months wasn't the brightest idea ever. I too have 4 characters on an origin server 3 group and 1 solo and I am the only person an tatooine mostly. I know these transfers where supposed to group people together but my two origin servers weren't that empty before phase 1 and since phase 1 they are dead. It was the wrong approach , it backfired.

Anyways yeah I see why you would like to move them before now , here's hoping , but 21st of September is approaching fast.

Cheers,

8 makes perfect sense as it allows you to make one toon of each class on each side and one of each mirrored advanced class and is more than a lot of games give.... but if they want to give me 12 instead I'll sure as hell take it
You're right. Bioware should have saved some cash and just slapped the same story on the imperial and republic sides since there is no difference and really doesn't matter anyway. They should also understand that when HK comes out that we should just stick to one faction and not need one toon from each faction because, well what's the point?

I know that originally Bioware said the game was made for those who liked alts and story but really 8 is enough. I know that 8 is enough because this well respected and knowledgeable person in the forums said so... and who am I to disagree?

Obviously it is I and not the the person on the forum who said that there is really only 8 advanced classes that is right. I never should have set out to have a full array of toons on both factions... how foolish and misguided was I? Next time I try to think on my own I will ask first and then just obey before spending time having fun in my own way. After all it isn't about my play style and what makes me happy in the game I chose to play it's about the things that are obvious to others that I failed to take notice of.

you seem upset... did you just now find out the classes are mirrored or are you just lashing out because you personally want more slots and the excuse that there are 16 advanced classes is incorrect?

There are 20 advanced classes if you take into account the skill trees (8 advanced with 2 unique trees and 1 shared tree). There is a difference depending on the tree you specialize in ( small in some cases ).

skill tree =/= advanced class
advanced class = advanced class

point in tree's aren't permanent choices like class or Advanced class is.. you can respec and switch between them anytime you want or go hybrid.. so that's still just 8 advanced classes with 20 different trees between them...

For me, until they have dual spec there are 20. It gets cost prohibitive to respec after a while and this game has enough credit sinks as is.

Edit: and another reason why people may have so many alts.

lol then stop respecing so often... if you avoid doing it for like a week the cost drops back to 0...

my point is saying there are 20 so we need 20 slots is the same as me saying I need one slot for one character of every class of every species in each gender... my point was 8 is the least that makes sense if they want you to be able to experience each class story and advanced class with the least number of slots... any more are a bonus

I know what you mean. I am being a tich contrarian ( man the forums a slow today, no?).

I could counter with: but, but, .. if I have an alt of each tree I can switch to the needed role faster (man talk about alot of work have 20 level 50s lol).

One could say there are only 4 true classes and I can see some validity in that viewpoint...but it is just a viewpoint.

Smuggler and Agent are mirrored, so are Trooper and BH (so they are unique in appearance and story only, the specials are the same though they have different appearances and names, they are very similar in how they work) and of course there really is just two jedi users, Jedi and Sith. Why the classes are split up so much is beyond me, I could have seen it in advanced classes but to have two full force classes seemed silly.

One could also say that there are 16 unique classes if they want to count all of the classes and the advanced classes as well. Again, its a viewpoint, an opinion, and a valid one.

So really there is no need to argue about this, since both sides have validity. At least from my perspective.
