ETA on Advanced Class change?

On that tangent, I imagine that the biggest impediment to opening up weapon use is the animation issue. But from a "realistic" standpoint, all characters should be able to use all weapons and all Force users should be able to use all Force weapons (without sacrificing any abilities a la a rifle-using Commando). Plenty of people would like to be able to play a tech melee character, but they can't, so they make a Jedi/Sith and put it in "techy" adaptive armor and arm it with a vibroblade (or two) or electrostaff. That's OK, but not exactly what they are looking for.

I hope they implement it

I hope never. There should at least one thing in this game that is permanent.

You can make permanent just about whatever you want. No need to force your play style preferences on others.

I hope it comes soon.

I have an update, it's still never coming so quit asking.

Actually the devs said they were gonna do it eventually so stop arguing.

The devs also said it would take months for players to get to endgame.

devs also said they are doing an ilum revamp
devs...
devs...

they talk a lot

How obsessively a player plays is irrelevant to the current topic.
