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

Stuhlfleisch

bump

Cously

1) Choices were made based on race and class combinations at Day 1. ZOS turned the game upside down, multiple times, destroying core class skills and/or changing them completely along with racial passives. Not player's fault.

2) ZOS would profit a lot of money on it.

3) Non account wide achievements discourages alt playing plus the lack of replayability in the story content.

4) It shouldn't concern anyone if someone chooses their classes. Morons will argue that "BUT BUT THE META EVERYONE WILL ROLL THE SAME CLASS BUA BUA BUA"...like it doesn't already happen anyways. The very ppl they complain about are the ones who already have alts and hop on the fotm class/race combo.

5) Put reasonable restrictions such as period of cooldown between changes, revert all class skills only to 1 and a high crown price.

6) Add a faction change token whislt you at it. With a long cooldown and high price.

7) People that complain about other's ppl ability to choose something that doesn't affect them and the game to have another solid source of funds should really get their heads examined.

After fully leveling 3 magicka characters lorebooks and all, I fully support this...hell Ide pay 5k crowns just to not farm skyshards and lorebooks alone....

Apherius

I don't remember what i have vote ( month ago )

But Now i'm for ... all these nerf sorc thread are destroying my pleasure ... i just want to keep my achievement (26 705 points ) and play a NB magicka dps .

CrisXD

Sometimes I feel like a change but I cba to keep leveling a different character...call me lazy but I think it would be nice to have this option even if its a 'once only' thing.

what we really want is a bunch of cp 630 people who have absolutely zero idea of how to play their class. so strongly against this.

If their Class skill lines are at 0 and require levelling up, it's irrelevant how many CPs they will have, as they literally won't be able to play the class without levelling it up, and thus learning its procedures, first.

If they're level 630, they have almost certainly already played every class already, and will know the game very, very well.

MUSTACHMAN654

YES! I want to change my characters class to Warden sooo bad!

PrayingSeraph

NO. Else people will just change to whatever class is best after a patch comes out.

Morgul667

I used to dislike this idea but came to think it wouldn't be so bad. I know I would not reroll to whatever class is meta. Some people would but probably not the majority

im thinking of dungeon groups. get a high cp player in and think woot! and then watch them either fail at tanking or healing or do no damage. i have seen similar things before.

We already have a lot of CP630 players without a clue on how to play their class

WaltherCarraway

Sorry but no, same goes with Alliance. Even though I'd really want to.

chris25602

No.

The solution to this issue is that you have been given many character slots...literally its the one thing you can't change and you are given the option to try out many different combos and also you can purchase character slots..........


Not meaning to sound like ZOS but, ticket closed.

I wouldn´t have made this poll, if I would be happy with only this option. :P

Except what you're asking for is simply to be able to change to the FotM build/class at a whim. The answer remains no.

BurtFreeman

yes!
a character mastering all class should be the goal in a long term game

for me and to make unpredictable builds i'll make all class active like the weapons one, then you choose the skills you like.

Cpt_Ati

i just want to change faction token. its more logical

WildWilbur

No, it's bad enough that you can change your race...

Cool forum name though... -.-

Beardimus

Levelling is so fast now, unsure it needs it.

Alliance one time change, it needs. Noobs can't help it if they accidently started an AD toon and realize their mistake

mocap

There are several ways to do this "class change" thing:
1) Class change token. Obviously. Profit for ZO$;
2) An invitation your new character to already existing world of your main character. So you can play while you play )
3) Skyshard points, most of achivements, books as well as some of skill trees, like Undaunted, must be account wide.

Again, this is not about leveling 1-50. This is about losing all your PvE progress when you start a new character. Especially painful if you are a perfectionist-completionist )

Character slots are all well and good if you want to start a new character of a different class. But as mocap said, the problem with this is losing all your progress when you start a new character.

Evaluate that result again after taking into account 1500 quests, 1000 POIs, 180 riding skill-ups, 366 skyshards, 297 lorebooks, 3000 Eidetic books, 6 weapon lines, 3 armour lines, 5 Guild lines, 6 crafting lines, 4 world lines, and 1200 achievements, and then try telling me that it doesn't take a long time.

Levelling to 50 is not the issue here. People want to be able to try a new class without losing all that progress. Those things can all be done regardless of your class choice, so you shouldn't have to do them all again just because you want to try a new class.

It would ruin the competitive PvE community in my opinion.

I don´t think so, since if you can only choose one class and then only change back and forth to the class you originally chose (maybe not even that and the choosing is final) and the class, you bought a token to rechose it, I don´t think, that it will ruin anything in my opinion.

Eduard_Rodric

Maybe a subclass system like lineage 2. You have your class but can swit to one second lvl 1 but you can return to the other ever and swit again ever.

Hm, I think it would be more likely, that we get a rechoose token, than a completely new system...

Because what you said is irrelevant. Because not everyone wants to do what they have already done again. We're talking years of effort and time put to get high achievement scores, for example, or a name that you want to use and be known as. How is new character a viable solution? It's absolutely not.

mocap

All that "just roll new character" comes from PvPers. They don't care about PvE progress, so it's easy for them to create new class, power level it to 50 and go Cyro for whatever reason.

BurtFreeman

yes!
what ruin the game is creating new alts just to master classes.
going across same content over and over is pretty boring.

Reset every skill then on class change , class , Mage guild , fighters guild , horse speed and undaunted as you wouldn't have earned it on that character

Guild skills and Riding skills are completely unrelated to Class skills. There's no need to reset those as well. Analogy - if I quit my current job in climate research and start a new one in game development, I'll be starting that job from scratch, but the fact that I'm starting a new job doesn't affect my ability to play the drums.

This.
And I also think that class change would make more sense than race change. After all, changing profession is something realistic. On the other hand, when an elf transforms into a cat, well... "Its magic. I aint gotta explain sh*t".
