That's an awful lot of "their problem". If they can't take 5 minutes out of their day to ... oh I don't know .... learn about the game they are playing, then no - what they want or "how they got screwed" (by not researching the game) is NOT THE DEVS PROBLEM.

At character creation:
Male/Female
Race
Story
AC
Customization
Enter Game
This would definitely make it clearer.

I would like to see this implemented this way:

At character creation:
Male/Female
Race
Story
Class (AC)
Customization
Enter Game

I don't want Limited Dev time and Resources spent on a problem that DOESN'T EXIST. Reroll.

Is that simple enough for you to understand? Do you see now how it impacts me?
Ah!!! So it's purely punitive. Punish the player for not liking the AC they chose...that's the best one you have huh? LOL!
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force

That's pretty much what I meant, where Story = (eg) Bounty Hunter, then you are presented with:Merc or Powertech as options.

It is the Devs problems when they start getting laid off as players quit because they find their current AC un-fun. The idea of an AC swap is simply a way to keep players interested in the game and hopefully increase revenue.

I leveled 15-50 over this double XP weekend, while everyone was crying for an ability to change their advanced class.

50-55 tonight, who needs changing an advanced class when you can just level during a double xp weekend?

You may have missed all the posts in which I stated that I think that if class changes are ever implemented, it will be at a time when this game is on its last leg in an attempt to save it.

At this time it looks like this game is doing fine, though.

Oh yes Tux, if I had my way, the moment someone complained about their AC I'd order 15 lashes in the public square. Punitive ... you sound like a child.

How is it a punishment? They have 3 Specs on that AC to feel out before they know for sure they don't like it. I have known on every AC that I didn't like before I got to 25.

You are trying to turn people into victims (in order to garner support as "the good guy") , but what you fail to realize is that NO ONE has left the game because they couldn't change ACs. And *****if***** they actually did, are those the kind of people you want around? Someone so childish that when the imaginary game world doesn't bend to their every whim that they throw their proverbial toys and go home? I certainly don't.

I also find it ironic that several people who champion this as a good change for the game, bash SWG. This was a feature in SWG from day 1 until the day it closed.

What an exciting life you must lead....I couldn't have gotten from 1-10 this weekend with all the things I had going on irl.

I'm just trying to give players options, not turn them into victims. I'm trying to add things that make people want to stay in this game longer, not level another toon or leave.
