ETA on Advanced Class change?

Oh, didn't realize that AC changing was only going to be available to a select few accounts.


Otherwise, how would it not "benefit everyone" as you put it? Everyone will have access to it, so the only way it would not benefit everyone is if someone could not use it while others could.

And, it is content. It may not be story content, or group content for that matter, but technically everything in the game falls under the category of "content".

Threads like this are the reason we can't get real new content. Everyone wants their little pet project addressed and this causes the devs to have to rework the game instead of making new missions for us to run.

In no way can AC changing be considered "content". It's a conveinience. Plain and simple. One that will only benefit a certain niche of player.

More missions (of any kind) benefits everyone. All I'm trying to say.

Well I'm not advocating that the game should be entirely free, just that there are other sales channels which exist that do not include preying on children and people with gambling addictions. Here is one example:

Develop an API that allows people to create and list some sort of product on the Cartel Market. As a player or entrepreneur you could create your own gear (orange gear, no stats, level 1 requirement, etc.) and then list it on the GTN. Other products could be UI mods, toys, mounts, weapons, companion skins, etc. Both the developer and EA would benefit from the proceeds.

This may sound far fetched but people also that about the Apple Store and they recently hit 50 BILLION DOWNLOADS. That's BILLION with a B. How much of that do you think Apple saw? I'll tell you. Enough to make the most valued company in the world. They have more cash reserves than any other company in existence. They could close their doors and do nothing but invest in bonds and this point if they felt like it.

How did they do it? The didn't listen to the people saying, "No that's impossible" or "Nobody will develop apps for your platform" or "It's not technically possible" or "It's too hard" or "OMG EVERYONE WILL UNSUB" or etc. etc. etc.

People always will fear change. They will always want to do what's easy. They will always take the path of least resistance. I'm sure there are many other ideas out there on how to drive revenue from a game like this. I'm an IT Director.. not an investment banker or financial wizard of any kind... but I know that they have a great game and a great IP with Star Wars. They need to stop listening to all the little forum trolls bent on ruining the game for everyone else.

Oh my goodness... I remember trying to run naked through the Judland Wastes to pickup my stuff. It was horrible. At one point I think you could only heal in a med center. Or maybe that was just for wounds. I can't quite recall but I do remember having to go there to find it empty LOL.

Worst idea ever, last thing an MMO needs is class conversion, enough people already suck at playing the AC they have, never mind letting them change to another without having to level with it to learn the ropes.

Yes, I have not seen ANYTHING in this thread to make me think a AC change is bad.... To me, the reasons many give are out of their own fears. Show me, or anyone that wants a AC change, PROOF or FACTS of how this will somehow ruin the game. If the system is abused, it would be annoying at most.... Why some restrictions should be made. However, there is no good reason I can see to not allow anyone to correct a past mistake.

you are the same bunch of people that did not want species changes or body type changes, guess what, they are here and BW makes money off it. Players that wanted it are happy, it was a win win, except for the people that play this game in total fear that a new feature to make customers happier, will destroy your experience. NOT A ONE OF YOU have yet to explain this out..... Its just fear, nothing more.

You will lose this fight, the AC change will come, question is when, not if.....

I do not think I could support a base class change.... If they keep it to only the AC, so a Jedi Knight Sentinel, can only switch the a JK Guardian, for example, at least the stories and romances do not get affected, as well as all the companions remaining the same. The way this game set up its classes, AC changes look logical, without a big impact to story progression, however, that same story progression, would make base class changes a disaster, IMO.

i do not suspect, RP'ers would be on board with AC changes.... I am curious though to where that community does stand.

from my perspective, I want people to be able to correct past mistakes, after already pulling time, effort and money, real or in game, into a toon, they discovered does not play as they wish, or to a style they have developed.

In the end really, as long as new features to not impact my game play in a negative fashion, I am on the side of change is good, it shows the game evolving into something more, better or different, and sets it apart from the others.

You will never see a Jedi Knight Sentinel in the game, They DO NOT exist. There are Jedi Sentinels and Jedi Guardians, but NO Jedi Knight Sentinels. If you wish to say that I am wrong, the prove it by providing a screen shot of either a guild roster, a /who or even a targeted character with the class Jedi Knight Sentinel.

This is silly. Are you being argumentative just for the sake of stirring the waters and driving this discussion off-topic?

It is clear from reading Themanthatisi's post about "Jedi Knight Sentinel" and "JK Guardian", that he was referring to the Jedi Sentinel and Jedi Guardian and simply mis-typed it.
