ETA on Advanced Class change?

Less choice makes you happy? Fewer options for paying customers to support the game makes you happy?

Fair enough, to each their own, just an odd position to take I think...

I can see how you might see it that way. I explained my position on this many times, but I will try and sum it up here.

I want the choice of AC to be meaningful. Right now I don't believe it is. This change will make it a bit more meaningful for me, allowing AC change would make the choice even less meaningful.

But that is my personal view. I have never railed or campaigned against AC change, and would not oppose it if it was adopted...I would simply adapt. Yes, I am happy it has not happened yet, but if the majority of the players wanted something like this I would not stand against it.

I simply would not like it.

why is this thread still alive?

Well it's not like anyone is really breaking the rules and thread necromancy usually seems to get a free pass. Don't think I've seen a thread closed for excessive beating of a dead horse yet.

I don't know the only thing written was that discipline will not bring AC change. Not that it is not coming.
Besides why would they shift the gear bag from quest to the AC switch if nothing was planned.

Quite simply because bioware wont come out and say they definitely 100% will/wont do it. They are smart know people will leave if its a definite no.

Oh Artemis is different he is not among those who says

The game says "PERMANENT" on the AC select window
or
The ones that say "Players are too dumb to learn how play the other AC"

What we have here is a man who genuinely wants each AC to be different like the druid from the death knight in WoW, and the story/game to reflect it.

This is the one topic i am against him because am sure bioware will never go the way he wants.

I still think this would be a good idea and hope they do it one day. It is very disappointing to get your character to the max level and find that you don't like how it plays end-game or how it plays in end-game PVP and think the other advanced class would be more enjoyable. Then you're faced with leveling the exact same class all the way to max level again through all of those tedious sidequests. At the very least, if they never allow you to just switch your advanced class, they should give you an XP bonus for that class' class missions that way you can skip all of the pointless sidequests (that frankly just distract from the main story. I can't tell you how many times I forgot what my character's main goal was supposed to be because I was busy helping so-and-so find an item that they were too stupid to keep track of.). Thankfully, this is what they are doing right now in a way, but it will be an issue again once the XP bonus is gone.

Getting to that point is very discouraging, especially after putting all that work into the character. This would provide a way to at least somewhat alleviate the trauma of getting stuck with a character you don't like.

I am getting 4 more slots on my server OR going to open 4 slots on a different server so I have all 16 AC. With this 12xXP and leveling to 55, I can then pick and choose what ACs to play in 3.0

Only change to the AC needed right now is to allow 16 free slots per server for all ACs for subs.

I believe you can get up to 22 slots per server if you keep buying the extra Character Slots on the CM.
