ETA on Advanced Class change?

What does story suddenly have to do with all of this? ofcourse your story doesn't change depending on your Advanced Class. I've never said anything like that.

And once again, Bioware tells you directly that your choice is permanent, either live with it or reroll.

IMO, the fact that Bioware has the choice permanent right now means next to nothing. Many formerly permanent changes the the devs not only designed that way but indicated would likely never change or had no intent to change have, in fact, changed recently.

AC choice is not made at character creation. Therefore it is a choice that one could say, since you have to level 10 levels just to make that choice, should have the ability to correct a bad choice if desired.

By the same token one can argue they are not the same class....if one compares it to WoW. Taking a Shadow Priest/Holy priest for example, in this case both are still viable healers, one simply is a better healer than the other.

But an Assassin is really not similar to a Sorc, though they sit inside the same class.

One could say this game forces you to choose your class twice, which is a design flaw IMO when you consider they share the same story.

It would be akin to having a BH and a Inq sharing the same story. They should have had different stories and completely different mechanics, and the choice should have been made at player creation. Then rerolling would not have been an issue....it is new content, I expect it would be very rare for a Trooper to expect to change into a Smuggler.

It was cheap IMO to use the same story for what is essentially two different classes, especially in a game where story is it's selling point. You have to repeat content to fix a mistake, and this is just silly.

Are we really going to have a round two? Why are you so ignorant to not understand that your Advanced Class is infact your class. Bioware already stated that it won't happen

In World of Warcraft they had 3 talents, and so do we. The three talents in WoW is played differently, and so is it in SW:TOR.
Just stop yourself mate, you're beating a old dead goat even more. There is nothing to come for. As I said in my post in your thread. I personally wouldn't care if you could change advanced class, since I have a sniper which I would like to become an Operative. But Bioware said it won't happen, and in all honesty, I would prefer if they would work on something way more important then sparing you the time to reroll your char.

Yes BW has said your advance class is fundamentally your class, I live with that, I play my classes, if I dont like the Ac, I reroll.

This. Why do people think it's okay to switch classes? They really screwed it up when they made the AC's. I knew this would happen. It was however, the only way to make sure each class had it's own story and you could play it from two perspectives.

Because the warcraft generation of kids online now days has made just about every other thing that would have been unthinkable back in the days of MUDs, UO and EQ1 -- now a reality.

Its just a matter of time before there will be a button you can press to get max level and full best in slot gear.... Because if 51% of the paying players want this, they will get it because Bioware and EA are here to MAKE MONEY. Not satisfy what one single vocal whiner wants.

Being reset back down to level 10 is just flat out stupid. The work that would involve such a thing would be so crazy that it wouldnt pay off because not many people would pay to be reset back down. Switching Acs is no different then switching specs, you still have to learn how to play it.
