Would you want a "class re-choose" token/option in the game?

Stuhlfleisch

I really would like, to have this option open, like the race, sex, appearence and name change.

I imagined it, like you would start over from the class (lvl 0 in all three class trees), however, you get all the skill points you invested so far in your previous class back, and, of course, keep all the other skills/passives from other trees (Mage guild, Vampirism etc.). I also think, that it should be a "one time only" change, that cannot be repeated. You got one change and that´s it.

Of course

Possibly maybe, but only if you started as level 1 in the new class but kept your mount training and bag space.

Yes from me, if only because as a father of three (soon four!) and with one being autistic and needing a lot of care, I don't get as much time to play as I'd like. So leveling an alt isn't really on the table, it'd take too long, and take away time playing my main.
However, there should be some caveats, perhaps making it so you can only change class once every six months to a year, to hopefully prevent people switching to the flavour of the month class. That being said, most of the people likely to play FOTM, probably already have alts in every class anyway
As it is I already did a race change as I fancied a change from playing Stamblade, and switched to Breton and went magblade, still learning how to play the new version of nightblade but getting there :P

While we're at it, would love ESO to open up transfers to other megaservers, I have a lot of friends on the NA server who started ESO after I did, wheras a lot of my friends from the EU server no longer play, would love to switch without losing achievements/dlc/having to relevel

Would I, personally, want such a thing?

Nah, if I want a different character, I'll make a different character. That's what alts are for. (I can't imagine a case where I'd use any of the "_______ change" tokens, not even name.)

Either that or get rid of classes as we know them and let us learn everything... but limit passives based on what is slotted in your bar. That notion will never happen though, but it would be nice. A person can dream.

I would pay lots of crowns for it!

And it would be the worst idea ever. If you wanted to raid you would be have to run one build. Choice would be killed. Not to mention how boring things would be.

It would be nice to be able to do what I can do in FFXIV....just saying.

You say it. :P

It's nice that at least one choice we make actually matters - and excludes other choices. I'd like more of that, not less.

Merlin13KAGL

There already is one. It's at the bottom right, labeled "DELETE."

The only way I'd be okay with this is if it was a true reset. You keep your appearance, if you wish, but otherwise, it's a new character, skills, points, achieves, and all.

Too many options for FOTM'ing this way. There are already race and appearance change options. Consider those a gift.

SilverWF

Yes, yes, yes and YES again.

leveling your horse, completing all the boring quests again, skyshards hunt, lorebooks hunt, etc - no way!

Turelus

Not really, I feel like we need to have character creation choices mean something... we're only class and alliance change tokens away from never actually needing to make a permanent choice in the game.

slumber_sandb16_ESO

I dont see why not. Not everyone has the time, energy or desire to level up new characters. Its a simple service that can add more revenue for the game's development.

Fishoscandi

Sure, would save me the time getting all those skyshards and skills again. But I would like it as a 1 or 2 time option so people don't switch classes every new patch. But since this is ZOS, they will probably make it unlimited so they get the green stuff.

laksikus

If you want another class, level another char

Knightpanther

Defo, my main was maxed out on crafting, shards and pretty much all achievements a soloer can get, having to do all that again on my new warden is a pain, but at least its a fun class to play.

Cheers

There is too much bad that could come from this. I already run into enough problems with random groups without someone knowing nothing about their class. You would also see people changing classes, chasing the fotm PvP build. It could also cause guilds to become even more picky about the classes they take to do anything, since you can just change your class to fit their needs.

It's a nice idea in theory, but it's a bit much. If ZoS hasn't implemented a free 50 token yet, I doubt we will ever see a change your class token. If they wanted it to happen, I doubt they would let you get away without paying for mount lessons.

Sorry but why do you need to do all that again ?

magorim

Leveling is already a joke. Want to play FOTM? Go level (or play Diablo 3 it's so casual and stupid it would suite you better than ESO)!

This argument makes no sense, though it's touted often in class change discussion. If you want your class choice to be permanent, then you don't ever have to change it. But why should you want to limit what other people do with theirs? Why do you care?

Classes are completely arbitrary. There is no reason whatsoever not to allow some form of class change, or better yet, a complete dissolution of ESO's class system which is an abomination to what TES fans expect from character building.

@slumber_sandb16_ESO If you have the time and energy to play your main, you have the time and energy to level an alt.

"Desire" is all on you.

People that have played through, but do not have the $$$ (an actual real limitation) would not be able to switch at will, giving those that can an unfair advantage. You'd be dangerously close to a P2W feature at that point.

If you simply want to keep your appearance, as you've gotten it just so, I can see it, otherwise, no.

If this ever were to be implemented, it should be a one-shot deal per character. No re-rolling every time the wind blows. Place that limitation on it and I think people would find it less desirable, very quickly.

I'd be fine with skyshards, lorebooks, and motifs being account wide, but there is no real need for this feature otherwise.

If you want a new character, make a new character.

I agree with that "one time only" change. That should fix most of the Problems I think.

I'm more of the old school thinking where choices mattered and you couldn't change everything about your character once a week to follow FOTM.
I like harder choices and more forethought in what you're doing with changing that being something which requires a substantial investment.

Obviously my opinions don't reflect everyone, but that's why we all post our opinions on the forums. If ZOS ever does this I won't be kicking up a fuss, I just don't personally like the idea of it. Should it happen though I'll make my Nightblade a sorc and farm all those no deaths on easy mode before I switch back to Nightblade.

Sweetpea704

Yes. I would change one of my characters I never play anymore to a warden. Just start all the warden skills at zero. It would be like changing a weapon class. You need some sort of remediation so that you have time to learn the class, however. People go to college to change their jobs all the time, so why not?

I have a character of every type mag/stam so there are classes that I don't play ATM but at some point Zos will make them great again and I will switch back to them , so I don't see any reason that this game needs clad change just level up one

Tasear

Nope somethings matter, but I won't oppose if it exists.

theher0not

I would like to see it, though I probably wouldn't use it myself.

jcaceresw

I have several toons that need a class change and have lots of crowns to spend for such feature. What ZOS is waiting for?

It's not just a class change. Changing a class may mean that toon race (and name if apply) could also be changed in order to get the best combination for a specific class and thus, more money for ZOS. So is a win-win situation for both parts.

Please @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom care to tell the developers about this feature? At least reconsider it?
