ETA on Advanced Class change?

Your not a very happy person, are you?

Do you have anything meaningful to add to the discussion other than talking about things you know nothing about and pretending to be an expert, throwing around insults and forum violations like they are candy and making baseless accusations against members based on simple assumptions that have no basis in legitimacy or logic?

I mean, really Hizoka....have you looked at your post history? Do you really want this to represent who you are? Do you really expect ANYONE to respect or consider your opinion when you act the way you do?

I've seen probably dozens of your posts go poof. I would expect that warnings followed those removals. I would also expect you are a hairs length away from a ban. it just seems to me the whole enterprise is pretty silly at best.

It is entertaining to watch someone iceskate uphill for a while but eventually it just becomes sad. Your post history is a train wreck Hizoka.

Pull yourself together. Enough with the constant ludicrous diatribe. This isn't forum PVP.

You can't change class without breaking that invisible line and changing from a vanguard to a commando IS changing class. You can try to spin it any way you want, but the truth is the truth.

That may be the case, AC may or may not be a class (I tend to think it is, at least they are different enough to see them as a class if nothing else) but that really isn't the issue IMO.

The issue is the impact of allowing AC change on the game. That should be the focus of our discussion IMO.

If the devs no longer see AC's as different classes, then there would be no reason for them to change it again. Sounds to me like you know and understand that they are different classes, and the devs see them as different classes. but wish to pretend that is not the case.

Once again, in the interest of fairness, you really should acknowledge that most, if not al, of the "choices matter" changes recently implemented are COSMETIC only and do not affect fundamental game play as allowing class changes would.

There is a world of difference in allowing cosmetic changes and allowing class changes.

Well, I think if there was a reason to allow it, at least one they are considering, it would be similar to the original reason...to correct a mistake in AC choice. You have to first play the AC after all to find out if you are going to like it. No amount of information is likely going to tell you that.

I've conceded that before and will do so again...it is a valid point. Aside from F2P/Market, free respecs and the cooldown reductions most of the changes have been purely cosmetic with little impact overall on the game IMO.

And I agree. AC change is most definitely not a cosmetic or trivial change, hence my concern over allowing it.

In all reality, the only one affected is who changes their AC. What if I change my AC and never do end game stuff, I just quest solo, how again does that affect you?
To answer about flashpoints, the risk remains the same when entering, theres always going to be that guy who takes stuff just because, they cant turn down features just because of this reason.
I see the only way it having a major impact is if they dont put restrictions on it.

You could reduce the level to 10 without removing companions, dark side/light side alignment, inventory items, etc. This would allow the player to keep any items they had that could no longer be obtained in the game, and still allow that player to learn the class as they re-leveled.

I think they would have to do a reset on the planetary quests, but not the class quests as the class quests would affect the companions, etc. This would even have the added benefit of not making the player go through the same story line twice.

They could even give a passive 25% xp boost to help compensate for the loss of the class quest XP while re-leveling. The player could re-level via PVP, space missions, daily heroics, any number of ways.

We have given you a reasonable compromise and you don't even want to consider it? Why? Because you want an instant max level character of a different class?
