Class Change

RomansXXI · January 2017

What are the chances of a class change? I'd really like to change my Templar to a Warden and the thought of having to completely remake this character and go from level 1-50 and regain all of my achievements and titles, crafting lines (like enchanting is a *** to level up god forbid I have to do that again) is making me cringe. My Templar build is obsolete with the new update and is now going to end up sitting idle. Please tell me there is a chance this will be coming with the expansion? After all I've just paid $70 for the preorder and have loyally subscribed to eso+. Even if it's a one time change I'd be alright with that. It's not the 1-50 that's the painful part, it's everything else.

I think zeni wants u to do all the stuff again. Sadly.

Classchangetoken could be priced with 5K Crowns. Seems fair ^^

Lol leveling a character is extremely at this point. Just do it already. I have 10 max level characters so just saying....

Calboy · January 2017

I would pay for a class change, not for warden but to change my original to whatever I want as that has all crafts maxed and the most skill points and zones explored etc.

I expect they will add more slots we can purchase for characters.

Class change , do not hold your breath.

It's not just level 1-50. It's all the skill lines (Mage Guild, Undaunted), achievements, crafting research, motif knowledge, mount upgrades ... How it could be considered feasible to just reroll such a character is beyond me.

We need class changes coming with Warden. Even if it's just a one-time thing.
Otherwise, ZOS shouldn't have even bothered, because I won't.

NoFlash · January 2017

I hope they consider adding this with the expansion. More money in their pockets and toons we retired for just crafting but have gank loads of achievement on will be playable again.

I also want Class change. Leveling a new character is not the solution because we need to redo everything. Also, most of the achievements are long term ones like clearing a specific amount of monsters on each dungeon, the DLC dailies (which you can only do once per day) and I have just finished doing the crafting writs on all my 12 characters.

I dont feel I want to buy new character slots. I prefer to change my class and continue from there.

Tommy_The_Gun · January 2017

Well... if warden is a think and if it will be released then probably ZOS will want everybody to grind again to level 50. That is why there is no class change token... (it was all planned form the start ? )

btw. What I fear the most is balancing. There is no problem in PvE but I am scared what will happen in PvP...

For the record with a set up like ZOS has done for ESO. They make more money by keeping players actively playing the game. A sense of something to do makes players more apt to spend extra money on a game.

Riga_Mortis · January 2017

All my character slots are full, we need this to release with extra slots included at the very least.

BlackMadara · January 2017

A class change would, and should, reset your class lines. You'd still have to have to grind those up. Might as well just make a new character (except for that stupid mage book grind).

AnnieBeGood · January 2017

I think a lot of bears might turn up in Cyro.... lol. It takes a few days to level to 50.... and you know which skills you want by now.

FriedEggSandwich · January 2017

These days the most tedious part of levelling a new char is the character creation screen. 1-50 can be done in 8 hours or less. You really don't need to collect motifs or research traits on more than one char. Mages and fighters guild just happen. You're not getting a class change so better bite the bullet or enjoy watching others play warden. I recently started from scratch on a different server, and it's not just easy; it's enjoyable.

SickDuck · January 2017

So what if all 12 slots are gone already? Do I still get a chance to play with the content I pay for without murdering my old buddies?

Katahdin · January 2017

I was against a class change option until now.

Now I think we need one.

You will have to go through the game. I'm guessing though that going through Morrowind alone will probably be just about enough to level you 1-50 with the size it seems to be. So it won't really be to bad. it will mostly all new content at least.

So you must not be a person who does quests? Because I don't want to have one character that has done all the quests and another character that has not. Also, many people also collect various crafting materials as they go along, and having a new character with hardly any crafting skills leveled means you don't always get what you need. Hence the reason many people want to be able to have a Class change, so they don't have to go through all the hours of leveling everything all over again, and then there's the Mount skills, inventory upgrades, etc.

Levelling some skill lines to 50 is MUCH better than having to collect loads of motifs, research 9 traits, lorebooks, skyshards, quests...

wtf I'll happily take it at having to level skill lines again, that's cake.

Oreyn_Bearclaw · January 2017

I am normally very against the idea of a class change token, but I would not be opposed to one time per account Warden change token with this expansion. Mostly because I wouldnt mind making a new toon to start feeding my horse now.

andreasranasen · January 2017

Yes they won't add class change. This is almost like an entirely new game with it's own tutorial in the beginning of starting this new extension of ESO. So they want you to get to know your class instead of jumping right into it all spec'd out.

Recremen · January 2017

Want it, need it, but more character slots is good, too.

Well, most people would create a new alt, play it for awhile to get familiar and see if they like it, and then respect to the Warden class on their main. I doubt anyone would respect with a class that they haven't tested first.

Akrasjel · January 2017

No class change

Yes that's true. But what would be the point of creating a new character at all if you can just jump class every other day?

Me personally, i cannot wait to try this out and i rather do it from lvl 1 so i can get to know this new class.

BlackSparrow · January 2017

I'll agree that class change wold be on my wishlist, too.

As a roleplayer, character concept is very important to me, and one of my characters is very much a "ranger / protector of the wilderness" sort of character. If Warden had been available at the time, she would have been that.

That said, I do see the danger of making class change openly available. We'd get a lot of "flavor-of-the-week" builds that way.

That would work for ZOS, because they'd probably charge 3500 to 4500 Crown for a class change token.

Yes, that's my concern as well! "flavor-of-the-week"

AlnilamE · January 2017

The thing is, it sounds like the new area will have a completely new "start", so I don't know how they would reconcile that.

Either way, I don't see the point of class changes. I just make a new character. But I guess that would be a good source of income for ZOS as people would just change class every time there is a balancing update.

But nobody is talking about the COST... and if people are willing to pay 3500 to 4500 Crown to change, then it would be in ZOS' best interest to let them do so.

It would be a new 'start' ONLY for those who don't already have ESO... if you UPGRADE then you will just travel to Morrowind like we travel anywhere else in ESO.

Also, you don't see the point? So you want to go through all the cost of upgrading your inventory slots, mount training, crafting, etc? Because if you'd put hundreds or thousands of hours into a main, you'd see the point.
