ETA on Advanced Class change?

Who said it and when? The same people that said this game has 16 classes (2-3 years ago)? Or was it the same people that have said "yes we will have AC respeccing in game"? The game's documentation and in-game nomenclature does not use the word "Class" interchangeably with "Advanced Class".

I truly hope they don't do this. I have leveled both a shadow and sage (not to mention others) because I knew from the beginning my choice was permanent choice. You should not be able to switch classes. When you make the choice it asks you if you are sure.

I may have could have understand the problem back at launch but not now. There is too much information on the classes so you can do your research on the one you would like to do. Yes it is time and I know I don't have a lot of time but I did take the time even prior to launch to look up each class and what they could do.

I think it should stay the way it is but that is my opinion.

Who said that?

Have you not seen the other threads where representatives state that they are different classes?

I bolded the part of your post I was responding to. You seem to be making the claim that "someone" said we would have AC respecs. I certainly recall nothing official was ever hinted at that.

Ah:

5 mos before final release:

http://dulfy.net/2012/11/16/swtor-f2...mion-schubert/ #18 : last dev word on the subject. Note that some will say that was a long time ago but the devs saying "ACs are really classes" happened long before that.

Let me get this straight, you're harping over something that was said five months prior to the game's launch?

And here we are over 2 years later and it still hasn't happened. At what point do you understand the obvious?

And... the quote on Dulfy from a little over a year ago, yep. The game's now full of things that were intended at release but never made it and more are likely going to be added. But the youtube video just demonstrates that the creators of the game were far less convinced about ac distinctions than some of the more prolific posters on this board are. Do you know how long it took Wow to implement dual spec?

5 years but that's pretty irrelevant since they still do not have class change, even as a pay feature. The field respec is what we have that's similar to dual spec, if you're looking to make a real comparison between two similar systems.
