Would you like to have a class change token available, now that we're getting yet another new class?

Kagetenchu

Yes, but only IF...

My no vote includes wanting the name and race tokens to go away. If I want that much difference, it should be a new character, and that includes learning all the new skills.

Name/Race change to me is valid in the sense that if I didnt have 'any race, any alliance' and just now got it it helps there.

Linaleah

none of the above. I wouldn't buy a class change myself, as identity of my characters is tied to their classes at this point. however, for people who would rather change their class on existing character? I'm all for them having an option for a token.

that said. personaly? I think it would be lovely if buying expansion came with included extra character slot. make it a preorder perk if you must, but... it would be quite nice if that was a thing.

Ragged_Claw

Yes, add the class change token.

Might as well. I've been playing my sorc since day one, and she has rolled with the changes so far, but she cannot escape the fact that she is squishier than ever and does less damage than a week-old guar. I like the idea of her turning to the 'dark-side' to vent her frustrations.

As much as I like rolling new characters, I have always got burned out before levelling up the riding/guilds/undaunted and collecting all those skyshards again. I'd probably roll a test necromancer first anyway, but I'm not sure I'm up for starting from scratch again. I never did finish my Warden...

Yes if there going to introduce another new class they need to come out with class change tokens to im suprised this still isn't a thing considering they would probably make good money from this.

But they'd lose the revenue from selling character slots...

looks like they wouldn't lose any money, since you either buy class change OR character slot. heck they may gain some money if class change token costs more then character slots.

Facefister

Yes, add the class change token.

I don't see any downside of being able to switch your class. My main is also my crafter, completionist etc. I do literally everything with it. I also have a second "main" but I don't want to abandon those characters. I mean, with enough magic you can also change your gender(don't want to spoil a certain quest), switching a class should be easier.

MasterSpatula

No, do not add the class change token.

I would be willing to give really good odds that Class and Alliance are simply not possible to change in the way the game is coded.

Urvoth

Yes, add the class change token.

Class change tokens would simply result in competitive areas like PvP zones and trials being filled with the FOTM templates that would change with every update, all the more so as ZOS would see the business sense in making just enough changes in skill balancing etc each update to prompt another wave of class change token purchases.

Rather than dumb the game down even further with mass harmonisation of characters and with no decision ever taken in the game being unable to be reversed so no decision ever requires thought or responsibility, I'd far rather have very expensive crown store tokens enabling players who have completed everything in the game on at least one character to be able to create an instant maxed character. That way it would meet the demands of the few without impacting on everyone else.

People already level alts or buy more character slots according to FOTM. PvP players aren't going to class change constantly unless there is a extreme disadvantage to not doing so. It takes awhile to get really good at a class, and a lot of PvP depends more on situation, skill, sets, non class abilities, armor, etc than just on classes. On top of that, if everyone goes FOTM, the players on counter-classes are going to have a great time, so switching really doesn't have as big of a motivation as in PvE. Players are way more likely to go FOTM for stuff like trials but that happens a lot anyways.

So if I have over 5k hours of playtime on my main I suddenly am lazy because I dont feel like starting all over again? Wow

THIS. Why doesn't anyone understand this. Is everyone just too focused on pulling numbers in the game and trying to be #1 that they've forgotten about things like this? Isn't this WHY all of us loved our first RPGs? Our first MMO? Our first fantasy game? Having that one character almost write its own book?

This is so sad...

Nope. It is a business decision Zos has made to not offer it. Plain and simple I thought I had stated before but I guess it was not convenient.

Zos has access to better analytics than forum polls. When and if those analytics suggest it is worth offering this I expect they will. Until then the answer is a solid no.

Ikr!! I don't get how people can feel so elitist and rude about creating more alts. This is a game, playing the same thing over again just to replace 3 class skill lines isn't being a hardworker or anything. We play the game to be lazy. It's a game! If we want to be hardworkers we work at our job, then we convert that time at our job to buy things we want, like replacing the 3 class skill lines. And for those who work long hours, starting over on a new character is unappealing and if they're dissatisfied with their class they might just quit instead.

Also this. I work in a different country every month. I work 6 days a week for 10 hours standard if not more in overtime to make a really decent living. I get a full week of holidays included in every month, sure, but I have a girlfriend, real life interests and other hobbies outside of ESO too. I'd still love to be able to enjoy the game without having to grind/reroll something that I have a special connection with - my main character. I mean I already have to do this anyway but it's only half as enjoyable, so why make it a 100 times worse and waste my free time?

Why can't people just be more open to this and more considerate towards things other than elitist ratings.

Some people vote no just because they want to be arrogant and negative. It's mind boggling.

Fischblut

Yes, add the class change token.

I have a character who is necromancer at heart and in my story

AcadianPaladin

Yes, add the class change token.

@Nyladreas I agree with and endorse your logic as to some of the reasons why folks might want to re-class a character rather than start a new one. Therefore I strongly support the ability to change class and my vote reflects that. That said, I've no interest in using one at the moment nor any interest in a necromancer class.

Starlock

No, do not add the class change token.

The idea of class change tokens - or race change tokens for that matter - are simply opposed to why I play the game in the first place. You don't take a character with a storied history and then fork over money to transform them into someone they aren't. None of my characters are necromancers, full stop. I also have no idea for any character concept for a necromancer, because I don't like necromancers. Kinda let down if this is the new class, but we'll see if I can spin it into something that isn't a necromancer given the label of the class doesn't really have to mean much with respect to who they actually are as characters.

Sheezabeast

Yes, add the class change token.

I think all players having completed Caldwell’s Gold on a character should unlock one class change token to that character as a reward for completing such a feat. If they monetize them, price it at 5000 Crowns and I won’t mind as much.

Odovacar

Yes, add the class change token.

It would be nice to know its available if ever wanted, why not...

Nyladreas

Yes, add the class change token.

This is an amazing idea actually!!

Giraffon

It's a potential goldmine for Zeni. I mean it's right up their alley! Let's see...sell a bunch of class changes then do class breaking nerfs in 6 months and watch the class change sales go crazy all over again! /facepalm

I voted yes, but in hindsight this might be a really bad idea.

Steelshiv

Yes, add the class change token.

I would def use a class change token on my old dk that I no longer play. It would save a character slot and I would play more since I typically make a new char, get overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do (mages guild, fighters guild, undaunted, power levelling, main quest) Usually I get the new char to level 4 and never play it again.

The way I see it, it would alleviate the tension felt in the community by making people not be required to regrind their skill points and guild trees if they carried over to the new class chosen. People would still make alts and people with dedicated mains could have more of a choice in their end game experience.

Thanks! I included you in the poll description, cause that is a great view on the subject.

validifyedneb18_ESO

No, do not add the class change token.

People would rather have a pay to have a more-fun-experience option than for zeni to fix the root cause.

Achievements linked per character, Skillpoints need to be ground on every new character (hope you like doing the same delves and public dungeons a dozen times over), Leveling being boring and essentially just an experience in trying to get to level 50 while expending either the least effort or least time possible.

For a lot of people, myself included, I like putting everything into one character. This is an ES game, where in the lore does it say "thou shalt buy a class change token if thou wishes to change their playstyle"

Where does it say one cannot change their profession? That actually makes a ton of sense lore-wise. Not only that one can, but it even implies that one should.

That's actually a neat idea.

Wildberryjack

Yes, add the class change token.

I have a slot free but since I have two of some classes then yeah I'd just class change one if that were an option.

Sylvermynx

Yes, add the class change token.

I wouldn't use one myself - I'm happy leveling 18 girls, and still have open slots on my second account, plus the other 7 I could buy on that account.

But it would be really nice for those who aren't altoholics!

Draxys

Yes, add the class change token.

For me, it’s not about leveling things or horses or bags. All that can be done relatively easily. But 4 years of achievement points cannot be replicated in a realistic manner. I’m not entirely sure I would even use one, but it would be cool to have the option.

Bekkael

Yes, add the class change token.

Sure, why not? Let people that want it, have it, and allow them to be happy with another choice to enjoy the game in a way that suits them. I would just create a new character, personally, but I'm all for players having lots of options, and I can't see how it would have any negative impact at all.

Let them eat cake have a class change!

Caligamy_ESO

No, do not add the class change token.

Since this was the only option to vote for, I wouldn't say what to take or give to others but as for myself I will not spend crowns on non-content.

Shewolf075

No, do not add the class change token.

Voting no. It's nice to level up from bottom to top to fully get to grasp a class, to understand the abilities and eventually fit into a build or playstyle. Having the option to change class off the bat would be convenient to some who already understand classes.

Nyladreas

Yes, add the class change token.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_RobGarrett @ZOS_PhilipDraven any official opinions and statements on the subject, pretty please?

You misunderstood the entire subject. Most of us already have alts and can play them (personally 11) it's about something else entirely.
