ETA on Advanced Class change?

I don't see it as that big of a deal.
However, it's unlikely that it'll be any sort of "unlock" or "switch" that can be done like some sort of field respec.

I figure it's possible from a technical standpoint because Advanced Classes don't seem to hook too deeply into the system like Faction, base class, or gender do.
There aren't any storyline or companion changes that would need to be made.
Swap out one power set for another and you've changed advanced classes.
Sure, a lot of your equipment would be obsolete, but that'd be something you'd have to deal with on your own.

I'd expect it to cost about 1800cc which is the cost of a high-end cosmetic item and consistent with their policy of pricing things so that they can be paid for with just the subscriber stipend.
By making it 1800, that would place a limiting factor on it to once every 3 months without coughing up cash to do it more often.

Of course I am as you are entitled to yours. It has actually happened with a game called SWG that implemented similar changes that caused a mass exodus of players.

True and False since I never train newer rank of double strike on my sage. However I do have to train newer rank of project on my shadow. (all 3 shadow spec use it.)

No one will play Knight and Sith warrior as well since Consular or Smuggler or Trooper can fill any role in the holy trinity by switch around.

There are a plethora of reasons/scenarios as to why this should not be included as opposed to one reason it should...which is Convenience.

The reasons against it boil down to "Because I don't like it." Which is not a worthless reason, but it's no more compelling than "I like it because it's convenient."

It's a game, not a spurting artery. No one's gonna die because someone converts their level 55 Gunslinger into a Scoundrel. Get over yourselves.

I agree... I think many may have too much time on their hands and think they "run" the game...

So, the Species Change and Barber Shop mentioned in the Dulfy interview from months ago are finally realities. That's a good sign! It means the devs are actually serious about their "Yeah, we'd like to do that" statements.

In that same interview, it was mentioned that Advanced Class changes were also on the table and likely to happen. I'm curious if the community team can update us on whether there's any time-table for when this will be implemented.

Ideally, I'd love it to be a switch you can unlock, then flip any time — finally allowing me to Tank & Heal with one character.

But in reality I'm sure it will cost like 6000 Cartel Coins to unlock it, then another 2000 Cartel Coins every time you switch (discounted 3.2% for subscribers, of course) with a 2 month cooldown. Oh well, what can you do? As a start, I'd be happy just to have the option in-game, in any form.

So! Does BioWare have any upcoming plans for this that can be shared with us?

Edit: While I am proud of how much you are feeding the Dark Side with your blind anger and hate, and vehement vows of impossibility, let me remind you of (source):


We got the Species part. That makes the AC part also have a lot of credibility.

So anyway, any ETA or news, community team?

You want AC change? Fine let all the wahh wahh I dont like my class I want to change have their AC change.

All the "wahh wahh" is all on your side. Get a grip.
