Fantastic explanation They changed the name football in soccer because they did not want to make confusion with rugby.... All of this in England!!

Soccer? What's this stuff! F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L Damn Yankees! The name is football!

The devs could come to my very doorstep and tell me that the oranges in my fridge are actually bananas, but they would still be oranges though. You can't answer with something idiotic to a valid argument and pretend to be right, you just can't. The guy just told you why acs aren't really different classes making a very strong example, and your answer basically was "they are because the devs say so." ... weak. The one and ONLY dev basis for not allowing ac changes for now is money, as for now having people wasting their gametime on rolling basically the same class to have access to its different set of specs is more profitable as people are still inclined on making chars since the game is new, later on when it wil be more likely to keep getting people's money through convenience i'm sure ac switching will be allowed.

Heroic leveling content was a terrible idea and i agree it should be made normal. having a named here and there that you have to group for is something, having entire areas all over the place that require groups while leveling are a waste of content as only a small part of the pop is going to bother with them. Sure they are optional, but they're a HUGE waste of content the way they are now.

So, with the current ridiculously op state of marauders, assassins, and sorcerers, the only class they actually go and nerf are bh/troopers? They can't be serious with this bs.

sure why not, not exactly a priority though

Yes they should.

There's nothing to discuss really, the 3 op acs are marauder/assassin/sorc. Wasting time "discussing" anything else is pointless.

When can we expect to see dual spec in game? It had been announced as on the "to do" list since pre launch and then never mentioned again.

That's merely because marauders and sentinels are even more op than sorcs and sages and are even more fool proof to play assuming you have the correct spec. They got way too many (and too short) insanely powerful cooldowns on top of doing ludicrous damage.

Throw in a ridiculously op resource mechanic compared to bh/ia ones which actually need to be managed, and the obvious answer is no.

Because i prefer to focus and use only one character and don't want to play two, that's why. And since your main reason for not wanting ac switching throughout these months has been that according to you "people having to roll different chars to play the different ac offers more replay value than simply switching" i said wahtever ok, even if i think it's dumb as hell, i'll level the other ac and enjoy the "fabulous" fake replay value, then i can go back to my main and just use that and switch as i please, what's the problem with this? I can't possibly see ANY valid gameplay/mechanic problem really.

If a player had both acs at 50 at any given time, why should he be required to keep both characters in order to switch? He wasted the time to level both acs to 50, which according to several of your replies in this very thread is what's important for the game's "longevity", he unlocked the feature, there's no need for him to keep both. He's never using one of those characters anyway. If he wants to delete one it's his choice. What difference does it make except wasting a slot? None. It wouldn't really affect the gameplay in any way. Would you sleep better at night knowing people are forced to keep a character they never use? What difference does it make to you, i mean, really?

Why? The person had both acs to 50 at some point, legacy achievement done, feature unlocked. Why making them waste a char slot, they wasted enough time leveling a second 50 to access the ac swapping feature for their main char. I don't mind keeping the second 50, as i don't plan to have 8 active 50s on the same server, but what difference would it make if i deleted it really? I would only just use my first char and swap ac with it, why should i be forced to keep the second char too if i don't want it? Sounds like a useless rule to me.. I'm just curious, why should features in your opnion be as annoying as possible for the players for no reason whatsoever? It's like asians wanting their mmos to be as painful as possible with ridiculous senseless penalties, insane farming, little rewards for huge timesinks... ever considered going to play one of those? I sense it might be your true calling.

So what you agree with my suggestion now that you actually read it?

I think you might want to learn how to read, i would level both acs to 50. And then i'd be able to switch ac as i please on both of them. Nowhere in my post i asked for a free 50. But i guess this is what you do right? When you have no arguments or anything to reply you pretend to not understand what is being said so you can spawn pointless discussions and going off topic. How could you come to the conclusion that i want a free 50 is beyond me, what i suggested seemed pretty clear to me, and i even explained it more than once to avoid misunderstandings. I mean, really, how could you, of all things, assume i was asking for a second free 50 character ANYWHERE at ANY POINT in my suggestion is beyond me. Reading skills are weak in this one.

With the legacy system coming up, they should add a feature working as follows: once you have an advanced class to level 50 and then you level the opposite one to 50 too, you can then switch between the two acs on either of those two characters as easily as you can currently change your talent points. I could live with the tedium of having to just level the second ac to 50 so i can unlock it for my main char, but i don't want to use two different characters all the time just to play different glorified specs. To make it clearer, if i have a 50 commando and then also level a vanguard to 50, then my commando can respec to vanguard and vice versa at some npc at any time. But i bet someone in here will just come up and say he wouldn't be fine with that because.... just because. That's what they do.

If they did a proper job with the animations for the new combinations i'd have no problems with it. It surely requires alot more work than simply allowing people to use different color crystals though so probably not happening.

Most people here are quite amusing, they seem to be forgetting the FACT that this game isn't exactly a bf3 looker, and with graphics on par/worse than wow it should NOT require an high end pc, it should run flawlessly on a 4-5 years old pc. My 4 years old pc is still able to run every single new game at 60+ fps, yet swtor is terrible (but only in warzones or pvp situations where i get between 15-25 for some reason, so something is definitely strange here, because anywhere else in the leveling world/pveinstances i get 60-80 fps). Could i solve it by upgrading? Sure, but why would anyone in his right mind upgrade for a game that is graphically worse than other new/upcoming games you can already run PERFECTLY fine? This game is an abomination. Stop defending it and blaming users' perfectly fine machines.

Taking a wild guess i'd say trying to macro something with the way the game engine works with its animations/skills limitations would be a ridiculous abomination and it would be hard to get loads of things to work, so they'd rather say "we don't want/like macros *trollface*"

I don't want to fight people of my own faction, simple as that. Hell, not even in huttball. Bring forth cross server already, this game has been bleeding subs long enough.

Sentinel/marauder are everybody else's counter though. Nice try.

The answer is simple, wasting your gametime aka money.

It will probably be in 1.3 but they stated at the guild summit that they're going to make it SINGLE server and not cross server at first, because they would like to waste some more time while the game keeps bleeding subs, and see if maybe it finally dies. So yeah, it's coming, but if you're on an empty/lowpop server it will be useless, while at off hours it will be useless regardless of servers. Enjoy devs stupidity.

People who have actually been subbed and put up with this thing till 1.2 (or at least put the money in) should also get those days, maybe more. Not happening though.
