Guild Wars 2

I would pay 1000 gems to change my class…..heck even change my class and make the new change to lvl 40 ill knock off 40 lvls

No. Class and race should stay and be unchangeable.

I would pay them too.

i guess i’d like the option to change my race, but i think class changes should stay out of the game, it defeats the purpose of raising new characters and it doesn’t let people learn how to play a class properly

They’ve stated that they’re not going to offer a race-change option, and I doubt very much that a class-change will arrive either.

On the other hand, for 1000 gems, you can buy enough gold to level several crafts to 400 just buy getting materials from the trading post, each of which would get you 10 levels (more, if you have some crafting XP boosters from your old character, or your server has a boost from WvW)

Class change ? No thank you

Everyone should start new class from level 1 so he can learn it properly. I would pay real money for a lot of things myself, race change, Legendary change, etc. But not going to happen. And class change should never be option in mmorpg.

I’d like an option that resets my class and level but retains my skill points and everything I’ve explored and completed on the maps. The reason I only have one character is because map exploration is too boring in these games. Having to rediscover all those waypoints, points of interests, and complete those renown tasks is a snore-fest.

Terrible idea. Good thing it will never happen.

Not even in gw1 could you change your primary class, so the chances of it happening is pretty slim.

A two year old topic resurrected? I’d be interested in seeing how the OP feels now.

I am against class change. I have 5 characters. 4 are level 80, and only 1 has world completion. To do the majority of activities in the game you do not need world completion. for PvE you just need to uncover the WP to world bosses and dungeons. Everything else is pretty much open for alternate characters. The only thing that will hamper you is doing guild missions, but that doesn’t really require class specifics as long as one of your characters has all of the PvE world unlocked…. which really isnt required so long as you have all the guild rush/missions areas uncovered.

A class change feature would certainly be useful to many players, and I’m sure anet would make a killing selling them in the gem store.

The thing is that I’d like my main character to be different class now that I’ve had the opportunity to play all the classes at level 80. I prefer being thorough with one character rather than having dozens for various things.

I think a one-time reset for one character on an account should be offered, especially for those who dedicated a lot of time into a character who’s class turned out to be less than what they had hoped.

Sorta reviving a dead thread here, but I’d kill for a class change store item. Race change, too, if that’s at all possible. Ever since they changed how the traits worked (where now you have to hunt ‘em down via world comp or champ events, etc, etc), I’ve been utterly discouraged to make a new character, even if I desperately want to play a certain class, and I doubt I’m alone in this.

…So, pretty much, ANet should consider giving us an option to change classes (even if its from one Medium Armour class to another, etc, etc) in the Gem store. Charge us 1K gems for it, if they have to — I don’t think anyone’d mind.

What do you want to change your class to? Necro?

I can understand class, but I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to race change.

Class change can be like crafting, you still need to lvl them , maybe not lvls but like unlocking the traits by getting experiences.
I would love it if I can have 1 character for all 3 heavy armor classes, 1 for all 3 medium etc.

I would love to have the ability to change classes and only keep track of one character. I liked how you could do that in FFXIV. You still have to level up each class separately – forcing people to learn how to play each class well. But given enough time, people could have a character with all their classes at level 80. Then they could make a new character (different race perhaps) and do the same thing.

Programming GW2 to do something similar would require completely changing the leveling system (XP goes towards your CLASS level rather than your CHARACTER level) and adding a system to keep track of your XP/levels for each class. I’m pretty sure it would take a LOT of work to do.

There have been numerous threads on race and profession change already. The devs haven’t said much on the subject, except to make it clear they aren’t interested in doing it.

Overall, GW2 is more alt-centric. If you want the same character, but with a different race or profession, make it and level it. Use tomes if you have them. That is the tool they have given us, and want us to use.

What about class/race change that would reset the character level to 1 and resets the map completion, story as well ? :P

The purpose of it is simple, cause I have an unused character with level 500 professions. that I would love to use it on different class. Otherwise if possible professions transfer ? x)

what about if you have 2 characters of the same level. take for example
- lvl 80 norn guardian
- lvl 80 human warrior
and switch the classes between them for some gems?

that way the argument that states there would be lot of player who can’t play there class would have no point here and if just the classes switch there would be no problems with the personal story
