From Bioware, your AC is permanent.. Have a nice day..

18. Will be there any faction or Advanced Class change option available for purchase in the future?

We have had serious talks recently about offering an Advanced Class change option – I think that one will likely happen eventually. Species is likely as well. Doing a faction switch is considerably more difficult for us, though, due to the various quest flags set throughout the level up process, so this isn’t on the horizon anytime soon.

From Bioware Lead Designer, we may allow an AC change in the future... Have a nice day...

According to dulfy.net that article does not exist. Even if they said maybe, does not mean yes or no.

That proof has been provided many times. It is dismissed by most of the anti-change side as a soft no.

Naturally those with common sense would likely see that excuse is ridiculous. It means what it says...doesn't mean a guarantee it will happen, but it's strong evidence they are considering it.

I would rather not see AC change, but at least I don't subscribe to the fantasies that most of the anti-crowd seem to cling to. If the majority wishes it I will begrudgingly accept it.

Sorry about that, I just cut and pasted from a previous post I had made with the link which worked, so I never checked it.

Many thanks to LordArtemis for correcting it and I've gone back and edited

Oh cmon... this is a terrible idea. Dont do it Bioware. It negates 45 levels of work and dedication. It should be acessable at the click of a finger, it should be necessary to put in the effort to level a class to play it.

I'm curious as to why people with "common sense" would only see your views.

How much have the devs talked about changing class since that quote? Have the devs even uttered a single whisper or hint of the possibility of changing class since that quote? Have the devs even said one word in response to this 200+ thread?

Are the devs on record as having said that they see AC's a fundamentally different class designs? Are the devs on record as having said they have no plans to implement AC switcing (albeit prior to the Feb. quote)?


Even if the devs are "considering" allowing class changes, that does NOT mean class changes are a certainty. I'm not sure that almost a year and a half of ABSOLUTE silence from the devs regarding class changes means that they are really considering it. I highly doubt that if they were actually being considered that someone, somewhere would not have slipped up and let something out.

Because it's more sensible to take BWEA at their word (that they are considering allowing AC change) rather than to "read between the lines" to get the "soft no" you'd prefer it to be.

Changing your class should never be allowed.. Period..

How am I 'uninformed" when being "informed" has nothing to do with it? That statement makes ZERO sense. I was saying that they did it right in Guild Wars, it worked well imo. I was using it as an example, becasuse quite alot of other MMO's let you "re-roll".. Being "uninformed" has nothing to do with it, or anything here for that matter. Get over yourself man. Seriously.

How in heck does it effect YOU if someone ELSE re-rolls their second class? It doesn't. You just want everyone else to play and do as YOU did. News flash, this game isn't all about YOU and what someone else does in their game should be of no concern to you....unless you let your ego run you life. Again, if you don't want to re-roll, then don't. Why deny someone else? If someone else want's to then why on bloody earth would you care? It's frankly none of your concern, and flat out ridiculous to think it matters to you or your game somehow.

It shouldn't be allowed? Who says, you? Guess what, you don't dictate how everyone plays. You see, people like you are invasive egomaniacs. You are the ones who ruin it for everyone else with your "only MY way of playing is right" childish self centered egomanic holier than thou elitist mentality.
