ETA on Advanced Class change?

Um.. ok... I didn't detect any anger in that post. The poster made a reasonable statement.


My stance on this, if BW ever decided to allow AC change, I would want to be reimbursed for the time and effort I put into levelling 2 of every class.

LOL that is a lot of derogatory generalization WITH NO FOUNDATION. Who say the ppl on this thread who want AC swap HASNT been lvling the opposite AC?

I fully support AC swapping and I have been lvling ALTs with ACs. As of now I'm dual lvling a SW mara AND jugg at the same time (which is simply easier than having to do the same story again later )


As always ratajack, you have shown yourself to be just a bias ego 1337 that want things to be done your way.


Good day/night

seriously?


Rata flamed those who support ac with being a part of the "entitled masses", which is the new term/phrase for the ever old classic phrase "the great unwashed"


Edit whyh should you be reimbursed for the time you put into a video game?

Did bioware force you lvl an alt?

If the day comes that AC changes are implemented and they are as easy and cheap to get as respeccing the skill tree is now then the above statement may hold some merit. Even then an AC change would not allow a character access to tanking abilities and healing abilities at the same time.

If the option to change AC has a few realisitic restrictions placed on it, time limitation, cost, need to be in certain location, then this statement becomes even less relevant.

The devs also designed the game to be subscription only from the start, look how well that went Things change, and despite many gamers desires if you want a game to be as profitable as possible you cater to the tastes and desires of the larger audience. Only Bioware have the metrics at hand that would reveal whether there is much desire for this feature in those that are no longer subbed (and therefore unable to post on forum) and whether such a change would retain players or lure them back to play abandoned characters.

It's supposed to be fun, not a chore. There have been many changes that have reduced the effective effort put into the game, the proposal of an AC change feature would not be the first or I suspect the last such change to do this. For example I had expanded the personal inventory on six characters to maximum (80 slots) and their banks to 3 tabs before legacy came out. Once Legacy came out it was cheaper to unlock across account all inventory slots and all five bank tabs on any future character I make on any server.

Besides which having additional characters brings many more advantages than having a single character you chose to flip flop between ACs. You have more dailies, fps, ops available to run for greater credit earning potential. You have more crew mission slots and crafting options available. You have plenty of bank space to store materials and orange sets.

This again? Unless there are some severe restrictions on this, I personally would most likely quit the game if they implemented it as it can be used as a form of pay to win.

I do NOT want AC change to be allowed. I have 11 55's precisely because I accepted that the choice I made around level 10 was PERMANENT, as the tool tip informed me at the time. I think people need to start learning to live with the consequences of their actions, instead of constantly expecting instant gratification.

id rather just have enough character slots on a server to let me run through the class story twice as each advanced class

And you need to stop worrying about how others play their game and just play your game.

I'm not sure how it could be construed as pay to win.

At most it may help a player avoid having to go through a potential reequip but that is very unlikely.
A Tank has different gear requirements than a DPS or Healer.
A Healer can just about get away with the same set of gear as a DPS.
A DPS spec that has a lot of channled abilities will want a different set than a DPS spec that has a lot of instant abilities.
All of this potential reequipping already exists with the skill tree specialisations.

Are you worried about a player not having to go through content to level a second character of the same class but different Advanced Class? They gain a little flexibility in means of roles they can use (this is largely dependant on any restrictions placed on the AC change) they do not gain any of the advantages of having levelled an actual second character such as another character to run dailies, fps or ops on, grind pvp dailies, extra storage, extra crew missions or extra crafting skills.

An AC change does not offer any mwans of acquiring gear that is not already available to any other player.
