Wanted: Class Change Token
Zhaedri
✭✭✭✭
I submitted a ticket asking if it was possible to change one of my character's classes.
Instead I was told that their alliance cannot be changed and I should make a suggestion on the forums. (Note: I did not ask about alliance change.)
I would like a class change token that when used on a character allows them to choose a different class, as well as resetting their skills/morphs/CP/ability points, but leaving their achievements, learned motifs, non-class skill levels (crafting, world, racial, guild, etc), quests, mount training, etc. alone.
Again, change class, not alliance.
I'd imagine the price point for such a token to be similar to a race change.

✭✭✭✭✭Lots of people want this. ZOS seems to have no real interest is giving us one.
They'd much rather make us grind up new characters (that we might send more crowns on).Edited by VaranisArano on March 17, 2018 9:34PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭What's really aggravating is when I asked about it, the customer service person answered regarding ALLIANCES and not class changes.
When that happens, I reply with "thank you, but that didn't address my problem. My problem is XYZ. Please address XYZ."
Enough times around the block and ZOS eventually gives a straight answer.2 -

They also suggested making a new character.
It's not about making a new character to play another class, it's about bringing an existing character to a class that suits them better.
A new character also means starting over with mount training, finding motifs, doing quest chains, achievements etc. As well as at least one name change token to get the right name on them.
Too much hassle; I want a class change token.9 -

✭✭It would be a good addition to the game if they added one.
Could reset all your skill points and you get a one time change...so choose wisely. (would be too much if you could change it over and over again in my opinion)

Why do you need to find motifs etc it's not needed just use your main toon for that , just sounds like an excuse to be lazy0 -

Because hope, despite years of radio silence from ZOS, springs eternal.
As long as ZOS can make money off of selling new character slots, crown store experience scrolls and other crown store items for leveling new characters, its not going to happen. A class change token, even an expensive class change token, is a lot of lost revenue from people playing the game and buying crown store stuff as they level new characters. Grinding new characters prolongs the lifespan of the game. Class Change does not.8 -

This is my main toon I am talking about. It is part of her character to craft. Thanks for calling me lazy, too. i was told to suggest it on the forums, so I did. I suppose it's also lazy to not want to spend six months re-leveling all the mount training too?rafaelcsmaia wrote: »White wabbit wrote: »Because why ZOS sell additional character slots I just don't see it happen and I'd rather them use their time fixing real issues than implement something that REALLY isn't needed

Exactly. The class change token is wanted to bring my main toon in line with the RP. When I made them when I first started playing, I did not know the game or how to play and just made whatever class looked interesting to start with. Now that they are leveled and have a solid RP, the class does not suit them, everything else does.White wabbit wrote: »rafaelcsmaia wrote: »White wabbit wrote: »rafaelcsmaia wrote: »White wabbit wrote: »Because why ZOS sell additional character slots I just don't see it happen and I'd rather them use their time fixing real issues than implement something that REALLY isn't needed

Two days from 1 to 50, with the skyshards and the TG and DB and Morrowind storylines? And mount training? And leveling crafting? And getting the motifs for them (farmed, I don't have the gold to re-buy them)? Days must be really long on your planet to fit that around a life! I'm rather envious you could do all that in two days when it has taken me more than a year to get all that on my main (the character I want to class change)!3 -

Hluill✭✭✭I would love to have a change of class token. I really don't see that it would be that hard to create.
What I'd really like to see is a reworking of the class system to actually be able to "play as you want"! I feel kinda screwed. The class descriptions and class designs are far from perfect. In many ways they are more restrictive than MMOs with class systems. And then the meta-gamers...
Apologies, not trying to derail. A class change token would be awesome.Black-handed Hluill and his daughter Leyek of House Numaril.1 -
SecretJoy✭✭✭I honestly don't know of an MMO out there that let's you change class after character creation, so I doubt this will ever be implemented.
Final Fantasy online has a nice way of taking care of this issue, considering that you can eventually level up every class on a single character if you want to.
But that gets rid of the need for alts, which I think most people enjoy in this game.
Your best bet is to keep that character as your crafter, and then level up a new one for your main. Yes, it's annoying to have to go through the process again. But if you've changed your mind that's pretty much the only course of action you can take right now.

✭✭✭✭I wonder how much a class change token, hypothetically, would be?
More than a race change, I'm sure...which is already pretty steep.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub0 -
Eleandor✭✭✭In all fairness I predict this will lead to a future ESO where 90% play the recent OP class. I can see tons of sorcs changing to NB right now and then to whatever gets buffed in the next patch. Part of the appeal is people overcoming challenges with current classes.
I get your point and your situation of wanting to change a character you hardly play. That's a legitimate ask and idea. But I think the consequences would be too severe with the majority jumping on the "xx is OP, I want to be OP, that's my new class" bandwagon.
