HelinCarnate Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 From the patch notes. Choose your Advanced Class at character creation! Existing characters that have not yet chosen an Advanced Class will be prompted to do so after logging into the game. So no more trolling people in ranked PVP with my agent with no AC?

dgharis Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I will gladly be able to keep my level 65 bounty hunter, a bounty hunter. Not advanced class! If I read it correctly you won't be able to keep it; as of tomorrow that class no longer exists. Upon logging into that character you will be prompted to choose either Mercenary or Powertech and will be unable to play that character until you do choose.

Basically, they served their purpose. Now days.. it takes all of 15-20 mintues to level to 10 anyway, so removing such a transitory thing is good, especially since it allows them to do more things with advanced classes without having to deal with the "carry-over" of base skills. Now all skills will be specialized by class and discipline. On a humorous note..... apparently, by their own admission of trolling fleet... we will have at least one less troll in game.

Eh, the only people I know who did this were more mocking game difficulty. I know one guy who did NiM Operations with his guild as a "buff the Raid bosses" protest rather than trolling. They could just add titles for undermanning content or doing it with a debuff item, I'm sure that would satisfy the "hardcore!" crowd:rolleyes:.

Alphasgimaone Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Frankly, I think they should have just gone the other direction. Just have the base classes with all six disciplines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monumenta Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My level 65 trooper is my favorite character, with the Czerka crate-o-matic that's how I beat swtor rp endgame. R.I.P. carry classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BounceDK Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) As I posted many many moons ago (ahem) Biofail is getting rid of classes. Slowly but surely. Players will be like companions eventually, just with gear that actually does stuff. So you can be a "commando" with the skills of a "guardian".. That sort of thing. It sounds incredibly boring to me, but I'm sure that's what they are aiming for. Game will die before that happens though. Like early next year.

Like early next year. considering the changes are actually increasing specialization (for better or worse), I'm calling BS on that. And BS on the game is dying early next year as well.

HelinCarnate Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Going to miss the reactions loading into a pvp match with lvl 65 agent. Only class in the game that gets an offhand before they got an AC so actually had full expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he has to do is never log in with it. If I had gone to the trouble to play through the game without an advanced class like that, I'd at least give it a while to make sure they aren't getting rid of it, maybe a year or so. Nobody is doing this sort of thing on their only character, after all. Getting rid of them is such a lateral move for this game anyway, seems like a strange choice at this point and a why bother kind of thing to invest some time in. It may end up causing more problems than it fixes and get reverted, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may end up causing more problems than it fixes and get reverted, you never know. Bioware is trying to simplify the game to make it more attractive to casual players, thereby increasing the number of subscribers, thereby increasing their income. (Whether that will work remains to be seen.) Changes like this, which do simplify the game and therefore fit their strategy, will not be reverted in the foreseeable future. So he has two options: pick an AC the next time he logs in, or abandon the character entirely. Either way he is never going to be able to play that character as just a "bounty hunter" in SWTOR again and the sooner he accepts that and moves on the better.
