ETA on Advanced Class change?

You are opposed to AC change just because you don't like it. That's justification for you not to do it. It's not justification for you to say that others should not be allowed to do it.

Self rules? Hot damn! Rat and I are Bioware Devs now!

Any player with an AC **********MADE********** a ***********CHOICE***********. Choices have consequences.

Players make irreversible choices in games every minute of every hour of every day.

"Man, I'd really like to see what happens to Tarro Blood at the end of Act 1 if I don't (blanity blank blank)."
"I'm going to start a thread on the forum, I think we should be able to replay class quests because I need more choices and that would make me happy and I'm the one that pays my subscription fee and that makes the whole game revolve around me and me alone."

And the context of that choice is indeed life-altering. So much so that it made you post in all caps with a bunch of asterisks for even more emphasis.

I agree.

Gender, Story, AC, Species, enter game. Problem solved. At that point it is hard coded to your toon at Level 0.

Your point?

It is no secret that I am diametrically opposed 100% to 3 pro-AC change people in this thread.

That said, I agree 100% with this post.

I am not 100% anti-AC-change. I have played games that allowed class change (virtually at will, 1x/month free) and it wasn't a problem - even at end game play. Having said that, by the time that was reality, SWG was a very small playerbase, most of whom had been playing for 5+ years. People that knew all the "ins and outs" of every class and role.

We aren't "there" yet in this game.

I would support the following:

Option 1: Status Quo
Option 2: One free respec at level 50 for subscribers with the completion of Act 3, retroactive. Following a 30 day CD from initial respec allow One free respec at current game max level for subscribers. Maximum total 2 respecs per lifetime of toon for subscribers separated by no less than 30 days. NO exceptions, no further debate, no F2P respec options.

This way, if you hate your AC at 50(or 55 if you are already there), you can go to the alternate AC. If it turns out, that you hate that more, you can go back. Once you have experienced both at "end game", you no longer have any argument to make for further respec.

Blah blah blah, people need to get off the whole "choices are permanent" subject. That was already broken when you can change your name and appearance. Also dont forget, if you mess up during a story dialog your able to correct it by resetting quest, theres another example of how "choices are permanent" have been broken. I dont see how its somehow okay to switch your race completely but its too chaotic to switch your AC (which is not a class change btw no matter how much you want to fight that).

Also some of you need to quit getting all worked up over this, if someone wants to change their AC it does not affect you. If this feature were to be implemented I think its safe to say there would be restrictions on it and they would do it in a manner that would appeal to everyone. If your happy with your AC then good for you, if your not happy then deal with it and reroll until this is put in if it ever is.

Hi! Welcome to the thread. We detailed about a billion pages ago how it does in fact impact us. You are welcome to read the entire thread in order to properly educate yourself.

Your chosen Race has ZERO bearing or impact on your play-style, story or any event in the game. It is simply how you are pixalated on everyone's screen. Your name/Legacy Name have no bearing on how you interact with the game.

Every single Pro-AC change argument posited thus far in this thread has been made 1000 times since late beta. None of which have been successful because they do not pass the common sense test.

You are stuck on attacking people who disagree. Also, im not intrested in another system in game that bioware gets to greedily farm CC off of 0 human oversight. There is NO reason to pay real life money for this in game system. They arent paying anyone to do anything besides program the initial code....does that really equate to thousands of microtransactions? Poppycock.

Ive supported my opinion with reason.

-2 of the classes cant preform all 3 availible roles, making them less desireable and underrespresented if this change is made.

-Most people need training wheels because they dont know WTH they are doing 60% of the time. Im not saying this to be a jerk or callous, its just true. Some people need a path to follow in order to even get beyond square one. Now give them the option to desiminate all the aquired experience to try something they think will be "very similar"...yeah right.

2 valid reason's why allowing someone to change their class to something they've never played before would be a negative influence on the community as a whole.

Not to mention, if the person has already gotten several no longer aquireable items or titles or whatever it is that people want to keep, they have acheived some measure of sucess. I dont follow this line of reasoning as a logical point, but asthetically, I guess it has merit.

Im abo****ely entitled, as a subscriber, to voice my opinion when potential resources could be used for this instead of content im intrested in. Yes im selfish. Sorry.

Nope, if I were to switch ACs, it wouldnt affect you at all.
