ETA on Advanced Class change?

I don't agree with an AC change for many of the reasons listed here.

However, I do think people would pay significant sums of money to do so. Which would be great for the game. They've also shown that it is possible (albeit through dev hacks ).

BUT.. As was shown near the end of the stream (maybe some people missed it), one of the many problems that will spring up with an AC change. HE WENT FROM A SINGLE BLADED LIGHTSABER SORC TO A DUAL-BLADED LIGHTSABER ASSASSIN AND WASNT ABLE TO USE SOME ABILITIES.

Just one of many cans of worms opened up with an AC change..

If they allow it, do they

A) give people main/off hands of the AC they change to?
B) if A), what kind do they get?
C) if A), what crystals, mods, etc. are in them? (If any)
D) don't give them anything?

There's a whole slew of things that need to be talked about and figured out before hand if it ever happens. And for sure, not everyone will be satisfied with what they release. Then it's back to the forums to complain about it.

Right?

That is the beauty of moddable weapons right now when we choose a AC we get a lvl 10 offhand and mainhand weapon if it changes from base class. Assault cannon for commando, double bladed lightsaber for assassin/shadow.
If the AC change comes as a CM consumable we can switch the mods from our lvl 55 weapons to the new one. tanking gear will be hard anyways.

Main problems brought up in this thread was FotM classes and inexperienced players.
FotM will be greatly reduced if Bioware uses the discipline system properly.
Inexperienced players will already be exacerbated by the 12*XP bonus so payed AC change wont affect it much.

Bioware themselves have taken care of (not solved ) the two main problems brought up.
Thing about PERMANENT people will forget about it in a year or two.

I'm super excited to change some of my characters around when this comes out. I'm hoping that with all of the other changes they are making they can add changing AC as well. I can't wait for this one.

In the same livestream he also mentioned that the "Supply Bag" containing the items you need for your AC is given to you (placed in your inventory) the moment you choose your AC and that it has been "uncoupled" from the original quest for choosing your AC (the quest itself is still present for those that want to do it). (As an aside: the "uncoupling" of the "Supply Bag" from the quest is another sign... ). In the livestream he then promptly forgot about that when he activated the Assassin AC and never opened his inventory to open the "Supply Bag" and claim his double-lightsaber.

Rewatch the livestream .

I think it was made clear in the live stream that AC change was not possible at this time. I could be wrong of course.

"at this time"

Think its more don't have to do it rather than a cannot do it. Am pretty sure a consumable that activates the AC class window will be possible. Since they have already moved the gear bag from the quest to the AC window..
Have a feeling they are waiting for next low point to release it as a feature.

I can't wait to finally switch the ACs on some of my toons. I'm hoping they will add this in right after 3.0

Don't hold your breath.

Hey. Did you know they put a quest in for you to be able to do this? You pretty much just have to spend $20 then you can start the quest and part of it, you have to re-earn all your gear and stuff. But hurry! It is a limited time thing. Only lasts until December 1st.
