GianBaal Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I remember BW stating it will be an option to switch your AC for a very hefty fee, and actually I wait eagerly for it. Not that I don't like my PowerTech (quite the contrary), but I would love to try a merc and see if I like it. Now you can argue that it is a new class and that i can play one to lvl 50, but it is EXACTLY the same thing i would've to do. Same story, same companions, same laughs (or not), same easter eggs. So has there been any word if this will come? And if so, when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasri Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Are you sure you aren't thinking of the dual spec feature they have mentioned? I don't recall an AC change ever being talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrifterBG Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Considering all classes have storyline quests, in this soldier's humble opinion, switching should only be at level 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorbrand Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They made it so when you made the choice you knew it couldn't change instead of having the ability to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_preib Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'll throw my vote in with the 'please don't' crowd. I am fairly certain they had stated (unless there's an about face in this policy) that the plan is to not have it be changeable. I expect that somewhere around the second expansion give or take this will be implemented in anyway, but I would like to see that point in time stretched as far back as possible.

Slightlycampana Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Do you have a source for changing the AC thing? People can vote about whether or not they support dual speccing within different skill trees (not ACs) by following the link in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePromise Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I seem to remember them announcing it, the forums exploding, and them subsequently removing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjskull Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The only comments I have ever seen from Devs is a stated intention *not* to allow AC switching. They have, however, said that they plan on introducing Dual Spec at some point. Do you have a source for this AC Switching proposal? I am skeptical, because they have also always said "Not currently planning" a cash store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfstormer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I remember seeing a video where one of the devs said this, it was the AC too. Cant find it was back in September I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatonman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I want some kind of middle ground, perhaps let you change as much as you want up to level 20 so you can get a feel for which one you'd prefer. But then force you to lock a decision so it isn't just a total crapshoot if you're trying for a role you've never been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knickerus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I think that this would be an interesting option. If they did actually make it, there should be a two change limit. I don't see the issue with this other than a bunch of "CHOICES MUST HAVE CONSEQUENCES" people screaming about how it's gamebreaking. It'll probably never happen, but we can always hope.

MaximusRex Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The AC change feature was talked about during late beta, but they instead decided to provide a lot more information when you make the choice in game. The last reports was there are no plans to add AC change to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a video game. If you want choices to matter get married and make babies. The choices you make in a video game are trivial at best. I don't see what all the fear is around what other people do with their characters. It's nobody else's business what I do with my characters. They are mine. I paid for them.

sebbulba Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What happened to switching AC? I don't know, haven't seen it around here for a while. I hope it lies rotten beneath cross-server-auto-grouping and nobody ever will disturb the peace of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_Stalker Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 How about, once you have a level 50 in your account, you can roll another character straight at 50. Maybe same faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WutsInAName Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I was against AC swicthing till I played the game and realized it plays identical for both Sith Inq AC's. Same story, same pets, same quests, same stats/gear(for the most part) infact im having trouble coming up with anything that IS different aside from the lightsaber types =/ They SHOULD be able to switch when all that is considered, now if it affected your story that different but turns out it does not.

If you play them the same you are playing one of them wrong. they get different talent trees (yes even the shared tree is different between the two), different attacks, different ranges on shared attacks and even essentially a different resource pool.

The story is not the same you pick your choices and I can confirm that when you get to Act 1 and you make your choices they make the overall story change. Sorry saying that the story same is Bologna unless you are picking the exact same choices throughout the entire story. Also what about a SIth Marauder and Sith Juggernaut? They wear different armor so doing this would remove most of his gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Advanced classes are like classes in any other game. Honestly to me it's like taking a level 50 priest and saying you want him to be a druid. Exactly. Make up your mind what you want to do with you char and donot cry later if you made the wrong choice. Dual specs may come to past, but it may only be within your advance class section, as there are differences within the advance class on how to play your char.
