ETA on Advanced Class change?

I wish people would stop necroing this post. You are beating the dirt that the horse has decomposed into by now.

I'd say we're beating the envelopes, that were put together with the glue, that was made from the dead horse.

There has been nothing new stated on this subject since forever.

I don't think that means much in the current environment. We had no news on Guild Ships since they were first brought up I believe, and now they are making it into the game.

I think it would be OK to have a AC change if it could only be done 2 times on a single character.

Once to switch to the other AC, once if you decided you made a mistake.

Not everyone has the time to level all the way back to 55 on another character, especially if you already played a few 55 alts (which many players have by now to see the stories).

I have this problem with a Vanguard. I had a Merc already, so went with the opposite AC on the Republic side. After getting to 55, I really wish I'd rolled a Commando, because the playstyle is much more to my liking.

If there is a 2 time limit on switching per character, it prevents "FOTM" changes. Sure, you can switch once, but then the spec isn't likely to stay OP for that long. And if it costs a good amount of coins, people won't be eager to switch so easily.

Anyway, my 2 cents. I think BW should allow for this.

Folks who are opposed might have way more time to play than most.

If anything, as players, we can arguably gauge if something has a chance to be implemented now based on coin sales and long-term effects on the game.

AC changes would be popular, and, if limited to a specific number, would prevent exploiting newly buffed specs.

As far as long-term effects on the game, I don't think the pool of players that level all 16 ACs is very large. It's probably tiny, in fact. BW probably has a lot more to gain by allowing AC changes than not.

There are players who feel strongly enough about class changing that they WILL lose subs if they allow class changes. How many they will lose is anyone's guess.

Look at it from a financial perspective also. Right now those who want that new class handed to them paying and playing by leaving class changes as a "possibility". They also have those against class changes paying and playing by not implementing class changes.

If they were to come out and give a definite "No", they risk losing those who want that new class handed to them because they are too averse to the modicum of effort required to actually level that new class. If they implement class changes, they risk losing those players who feel that class changes should not be allowed.
