Before I start, since I find many people only read the first part of a thread before posting,
This is not about just willy nilly AC switching.
Okay, now to begin. What I propose is allowing people to switch their advanced class from levels 10-49, so that they don't have to relevel through the same zones, (took me about 4 1/2 hours with VO, not sure how long without, but there was a lot of walking) to try out a different advanced class. As I followed the game, after eventually settling on Imperial Agent, I started out thinking I wanted to be an operative, concealment. Then, after that, I decided I should be an engineer, since explosives and droids looked fun. Then operative again. Then, as I began to play, I started really liking explosive probe as I started out. Then I liked Shiv. The cycle continued, with my eventually settling on Operative as my AC at 10, not sure whether I made the right choice or not, just going on that I liked rogues in WoW. Now, 8 levels later (haven't been getting as much play time as I'd like and will be shut out 'til the 24th what with family for the holidays and all), I'm really questioning whether or not I made the right choice. I want to try engineer, but I don't want to fall behind the other people I know playing the game, although I could probably catch up, and I also don't want to have to relevel through the planet's I've already done (but if I did do it again, I'd be grey, not dark, and spacebar would really help). Sorry about the wall of text, I didn't really know where to break that off.
So now, I don't know what to do. Should I level a new Agent to try engineer, or stick with operative:confused:
The answer would be temporary AC switching, until level 50. This would allow people to see which AC they liked most without having to relevel through content they've done (story based MMO, I know, I know, alts are important, but once you've seen the story you've seen the story).
One thing many people have against AC switching is that choices should matter. And they should, that's why my proposed system would lock you in to your AC at 50. But why should someone be forced into spending time leveling a class they might not like, especially when the information on ACs was vague at best?
So, there's a pole incoming, but also, do you guys think that I should try another Imperial Agent and go grey engineer, or stick to my operative? Another completely irrelevant question I have is whether or not I'll be locked out of forums after the 22nd since I'll be unable to retrieve my preorder until the 24th (they'll be hell to pay if they sold my CE!). Any constructive criticism and feedback would and will be appreciated! Sorry for the wall of texts.
If you didn't read it, the question was temporary AC switching from 10-49, locking you in at 50 yes or no, and why.
