Class Change. It’s time.

MakeMeUhSamich · August 2020

We can already change our character’s race, sex, appearance, and now even faction.

It’s time for the option to change class.

It’s time.

Nah, ZOS is still making plenty of money off of people buying skyshards, skill lines, riding lessons, etc. for their alts.

When that revenue stream dies down, then it'll be time.

True. It would not make sense for Zos to add a class change.

Taunky · August 2020

No, it isn't.

There are duplicates of this thread in the Crown Store section, but I guess it gets more visibility here.

I agree. Race change doesn't make any sense. Class change does. I was surprised it wasn't the other way around.

So change the class to match the race? Class change would be a waste without race change. Swap to the newest class but have the worst race. That makes no sense.

How about a complete elimination of class entirely?
Elder Scrolls wasnt meant to have classes.
That was completely a ZOS thing, and nothing to do with classic ES.

What they should have done is just let players choose their skill lines and abilities according to their ranks and relevant XP costs, letting players mix and match.

But, they didnt want to do all the maths needed to balance the passives (i.e lazy), and online-gamers who play MMO's are too accustomed to WoW and WoW-clones to adapt to anything different (i.e stubborn and lazy).

I was just pointing out that, logically, someone could change the type of magic they specialise in (Akaviri/Aedric/Shadow etc), but not what race they were "born" as, e.g. it doesn't make sense for an Argonian to become a Khajiit...

I hope that class change token will be a thing at some point. Imho (paradoxically) it is the only way to achieve class balance.

Sarannah · August 2020

No please, everyone would be running around as the next flavor of the month build, instead of playing the class they were playing.

I'm not against the option to re-birth a character as another class, to level 1. Keeping the current amount of skill points, but resetting all those in the class's skill area. This way we can experience the game on a main, keep the skillpoints + skilllevels and achievements, but play as another class.

I want to change all 4 NB to other classes, Im so tired to see ZOS keep to nerf NB.

Why would you? They all feel the same anyway? Class identity went out of the window a long time ago.

Uh, the only ES game without classes is Skyrim.

Previous "classes" were just premade combinations of whatever skills you could choose anyway if you made the choices yourself.

Not true. Different classes had totally different stats, leveled at different rates, had restrictions on what weapons and armor they could equip, had passive strengths and weaknesses, and in some cases even restored resources in completely different ways.

As an example, in the earlier games, the Sorcerer class had more max magicka than any other class, but had zero magicka regeneration and could only gain magicka by drinking potions or absorbing enemy spells.

Gythral · August 2020

Yep time for classes to change

(But that's probably a new game)

Im focus on PVE
NB tank - Argon
NB healer - Argon
NB stam dps - Redguard
NB mag dps - High elf

I have no idea why dev change and give out our skills patch by patch.

MKintr · August 2020

Yes class change would be perfect. I don't have the time to level up every alt. That way I could enjoy other playstyles of other classes. Would be much more fun and give real flexibility. 👍

Jaimeh · August 2020

What about the achievements one has cleared with the existing class though? If they changed to a new class it wouldn't reflect that. It's easy enough to level a new character, even without the skill-line upgrades.

Strider__Roshin · August 2020

Agreed, that way we can always main the new class which always ends up being OP.

Oblivion didn't have class either.
Neither did Morrowind.
You could play any combination you wanted, and still win the game.

SamanthaCarter · August 2020

You can wait forever ZOS has no reason to loose money

Galwylin · August 2020

Not really interested in a class change but I'd love a system like FFXIV where I could just add a class to my character without sacrificing my current one. But I do wish we could stop looking to the Crown Store to provide content for this game.

Well, they did have a sort of class system.. just pretty loose

Lord-Otto · August 2020

As a wise man once said:
Yes.

dillonES · August 2020

I agree let's get this class change token, so i can come back to the game please.

redspecter23 · August 2020

If I wanted to swap to flavor of the month, I can already do that. I have 18 toons (3 of each class) so that argument isn't really valid.

What I would like is for my main to not be locked into the class I chose 6 years ago when I didn't know anything about the game. This could be accomplished ideally through account wide achievements as well as account wide motif and recipe knowledge so that I essentially don't have a "main" anymore (it would all be things I earn for my account, not for one toon) or I'll take a class change token. Either method works for me.

gatekeeper13 · August 2020

Was thinking of making a magicka necromancer, themed around the necro stuff with the Plague of Peryite title, Cadaverous polymorph etc etc. But then I thought that I have to:

1) Level him up 50 levels

2) Gather a ton of skyshards.

3) Level up Undaunted.

4) Level up Mages Guild.

5) Level up Psijic Order.

6) Unlock wayshrines.

7) Upgrade mount.

No, thank you.

Aznarb · August 2020

Achievement bind to account instead of char would be enough for me.
Still find this stupid. Gw2 have a better approach on this.
I mean, comon their is a ton of success and if you wanna swap char, TADAA !! You lose everything...
I don't mind to farm map, skyshard, skill line, etc.., but success ? C'mom, we all have a life...
