Found out what the problem was. If the items in your inventory goes past 60, it won't let you switch between combat styles.

Ignoring the philosophical weight of the message. Whenever I try to revert back to my guardian combat style from my sage second combat class, the error message "Discarded the ways of the 15 and learned the ways of " comes up and doesn't switch the combat style. I've tested with various tech classes and they all work, and all other force characters work, its just my guardian that shows this message.

I think it might be because my post wasn't very clear on my suggestion, but I am not looking for freely exchangeable classes. They were quite adamant on the stream that the class (and secondary class if you're a subscriber) you pick will be permanent, similarly to how it is now in the game. My suggestion is that if, after reaching a certain criteria, force wielders will have the option to switch to their mirrored class, again which is purely an aesthetical change if you want your jedi to shoot lightning instead of rocks for instance. In the same sense, let's say a character who picked the gunslinger class for their character but along the line would like the aesthetics to change to that of a sniper which in my opinion seems perfectly reasonable since they both have the same abilities, just mirrored, and the only real difference is that the animations, ability names and looks and the weapon would change, but gameplay-wise they would remain more or less the same. Now one reason why this couldn't be implemented would be if the idea of mirrored classes is going to be a thing of the past and Snipers and Gunslingers are going to have vastly different abilities and stats in the future, but considering how they're implementing the upcoming Force classes and the switch from Light to Dark as far as I can tell will be purely for aesthetics, and have no consiquence on the gameplay, allowing similiar aesthetical mobility for the Tech classes in case a Pistol wielding Powertech wants to use a Blaster as a Vanguard now and then (Thinking of a recently released cartel market blaster rifle with a bounty hunter theme ;3). It was suggested in the stream that this new system will allow the developers to add new classes in the future, which may be the case but I don't really see this, if implemented, implemented in any forseeable future, so my suggestion is based on the here and now, and the classes which will be available in 7.0. So just for confirmation for anyone who might've been confused with this thread. I'm suggestion the ability to change between respective mirrored classes (Powertech/Vanguard, Gunslinger/Sniper). I am not suggestion the ability to being able to freely switch between any Tech class arbitrarily (Powertech to Operative or Mercenary to Sniper). This would be a purely aesthetical choice, in case there are some Players (such as myself) who likes playing Powertech but sometimes wish they could see them using a blaster, like a Vanguard. Again, apologies if this thread and my post was unclear on what I was trying to suggest and I hope to hear what you guys think on aesthetical freedeom betweeen mirrored classes.

Yes, but what I was referring to was the ability to switch to your respective mirrored class. All force classes will be able to switch to their mirrored class once they meet the criteria (Sorcerer to Sage etc.) But from what I can tell Tech classes will be stuck with that singular class once chosen, since they said on a stream that your class choice will be locked, and from what they've said tech classes will not have the ability to switch to their mirrored class.

This is a proposal aswell as an open question for anyone who'd like to give their thoughts on this idea. In the same sense that the upcoming Force classes will be able to switch to their respective imperial/republic counterpart after obtaining the required darkside/lightside rank, would it be possible for Tech classes to also be able to switch between their respective mirrored classes. My thought is that the impact on class choices when it comes to the Tech classes has much more weight to it than the Force ones. Wheras the Force classes shares the same weapons and (mostly) the same animations with their mirrored counterparts, the Tech classes (although sharing the same abilities) gives a completely different feeling in my opinion when you play their respective mirrored class. I also believe this could open up the pontential for a greater demand for the various different ranged weapons available. Wheras the Sniper can only be wielding by on singular class, if you allowed Gunslingers to swap to their mirrored class, it would make the various different weapons more available to a greater number of players. All in all this idea is just for aesthetics, to allow a Sniper Trooper to become a lightly clad Double blaster wielding gunslinger or a blaster wielding Scoundrel to take up a Blaster as an Operative once in awhile. Would love to hear everyone elses' thoughts on this, and if you could expand on this aswell it would be much appreciated, i'm too lazy to write anything more .
