I'd be good with this. Hell even if Legacy level and credits were involved.
Let this sink in, this game is Free to Play, boasts one of the most popular IPs on the planet and yet 76.47% of the servers are empty.

You could make your other AC level as a different sex/different alignment and the experience would be very different. Heck, you could also level that one doing PVP or flashpoints and only do your class quests.


There's plenty of variety.

I would point out the BH AC but I have not played them, so I won't... but for 6 Classes in the game (Knight, Warrior, Smuggler, Agent, Inquisitor, Counselor) their AC are completely different in every way.

And I am sure trooper and bounty hunters are as well, but I will leave that for someone who actually have played them.
I see you still fail to see the point. Whether Sniper or Operative your base class is still the same...agent. You are not going from Agent to SW or SI.

whoa just a minute there buddy. nothing was promised during beta. originally, they said AC changes were never gonna happen. then during beta they said they would implement AC swapping for credits at an exponentially increasing rate based on level so it would be financially impossible by level 20. Then they decided not to implement it. During a beta, things are ALWAYS subject to change.

no, you fail to see the point. Your base class defines which story you play through. Your AC is what truly defines your class.

Well the BioWare employee in a video said "MMO's are about having fun and change" if you're not having fun with an advance class change it

Of course they said having your Jedi and his companion beat on a maintenance droid for 5 minutes was heroic but an auto-attack wasn't

Your base class is defined by your story. Your advanced class is a branch of your base class. It's purely a semantic designation, though one that has very strong design ramifications.

a warlock and a hunter in WoW are more similar than an assassin/sorcerer, merc/ptech, and OP/sniper in swtor. the only class with even remotely similar ACs is knight/warrior.

I don't agree with AC changes, BUT i do agree with them if they are going to continue to nerf ACs.
