TheCastle Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I have a Shadow at level 50, and would like to play a Sage. I don't want to have to do the same storyline, though, since I already know it. I wouldn't mind creating a character from another class, since that would let me enjoy a whole new storyline, but I would really find levelling another Consular boring. It just seems reasonable to allow people to change AC. It might be made with a long cooldown like a previous poster suggested, or it might require retraining all the AC abilities again, which would make it a costly alternative, especially at high levels. If you want to argument, please argument, not with sarcasm, or arguments like "it was made like this, it can't be changed" but by telling in what way would the game be damaged.

brutalor Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes, a 180 days possibility to respect the AC would be lovely and reasonably. With 1.2 the Tank AC like Vanguard and Juggernaut that are using the shared DPS tree with the other AC are better than it. Looks at the Vanguard/Commando Assault Specialist. What is most effective?

MWidowmaker Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 he does say that you cant change it, i guess you had trouble understanding that part? stop whining and man up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galbatorrix Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I guess is a right after such a nerfing patches and big changes on expertise and pvp. Vanguard/Powertech Assault Specialist is much better than Commando/Mercenary Assault Specialist build. I've spent 4 monthes improving my commando and now i have to trash it. Even a TANK is doing more DPS than me. BW LET ME CHANGE MY ADVANCED CLASS. Reroll. Bioware should NEVER allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galbatorrix Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Yes, a 180 days possibility to respect the AC would be lovely and reasonably. With 1.2 the Tank AC like Vanguard and Juggernaut that are using the shared DPS tree with the other AC are better than it. Looks at the Vanguard/Commando Assault Specialist. What is most effective? If those classes are "tank" classes, then yours is a "healing" class. Why should the healing DPS tree do more damage than the tank DPS tree? Also, this some times happens in MMOs. Sooner or later, they'll put out more nerfs and buffs and the tables may turn. It was in SWG for about 5 years, you could swap from Jedi to commando to bounty hunter to spy to entertainer to crafter to medic to jedi as often as you wanted (or could afford with ingame credits, but could easily do it 10 times before it was a financial strain). The universe didnt implode and profession variety still existed even when class blance shifted around. I dont see anything THAT extreme ever happening for TOR since your class story would be in turmoil and you already have a squad of class specific companions and a class specific ship. But changing ACs wouldnt have any of those issues. Personally I wouldnt have an issue with it as it could be balanced by simply putting a long lockout (like say 180 days). That would allow a player to swap once in a great while (once every six months) for the sake of variety or mistaken class selection but long enough to prevent changing with every update. Could also make it require a certain legacy level. This still wouldn't appease PVPers. They'd swap, Bioware would change nerf or buff something a month later and they'd be right back to complaining.

z-monty Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i've choose my adv. class 4 monthes ago and i didn't see a banner that was saying "pay attention within 4 monthes your class will be nerfed and such a DPS the Vanguard AC will be 1000 times better" No, but I'm pretty sure there was a pretty clear warning before you picked your AC that said "Hey, this is PERMANENT and you wouldn't be able to change classes so think before you click!". If you just skipped through all the text before you picked your class, that's your problem, not Bioware's. On a seperate note, chillax. My first character was an Operative and I cant tell you how much complaining there was about Ops needing a buff even though I loved my Op and had very little complaints about him at all. Now after 1.2, the QQing has gone down considerably and Ops are suddenly now much more of a reliable class. My point is, just because you feel your class got hit with a nerf now doesn't mean you should totally give up on it, because eventually it will be brought back up and all the QQing will move to another class... That or you can just suck it up and learn to play the class again instead of going with the FotM, but that's just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKhaos Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) I'll repeat myself. If you want to play the FOTM you should ROLL the FOTM. Edited May 4, 2012 by DarthKhaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellvaan Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Greetings everyone! We would like to refer you the following information on our Community Blog for February 10th, 2012: Aurozia: Will there be a dual specialization system in the future? Will there be a possibility of changing advance classes as well? Daniel Erickson: We have no plans for switching advanced classes - which we see as fundamentally different class designs- but dual spec is in the works and coming soon. As stated, we do not have any current plans to allow for switching advanced classes but we are bringing in Dual Spec. You can learn more about our plans for Dual Spec and more in our Community Blog for April 27th, 2012. If you would like to discuss the suggestion of allowing for advanced class changes, we ask that you please continue this discussion here: You Can't Change Your Advanced Class!?!?! We are going to go ahead and close this thread. We hope the above information helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
