Thats a nice Dev post
Thats what he meant, if you dont pick a AC you dont get access to talent trees....so what would be point of not picking one

Yeah when is that from i wonder, the way i read it seems you cant change AC as he was saying ''if you want to switch styles ie healing/dps/tanking dont pick a AC that is only DPS''....as you now can change AC its moot
After reading this thread I hope the game doesn't make you pick an Advanced Class before it lets you continue. Leveling to 50 without picking an AC sounds like a really fun challenge to me.
Someone quoted from a dev about you being able to change your AC...its in the megathread i think, found it

"Advanced Class change is in the game. 1st swap is cheap. After that it gets expensive"
Thats different from the "after certain level forever".

Swapping advanced classes is... odd.
I don't mind it, but still an odd choice for the devs.
Not more than a week after SDCC they clarified that further. AC swapping will be in because they don't want you mistakenly picking one AC when you wanted the other and they don't want you regretting your choice a few levels later. At the same time they want your AC choice to matter and will make the AC swap more expensive or impossible after a certain level.

I hope that I can make a max level toon that didn't pick an advanced class.
Even if it means weeks of farming low level mobs.
And for people asking "why", because I can. For the same reason people do weird stuff in WoW, like leveling a toon without any quests, or leveling a toon with just gathering professions.
Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.
Also for those of you who want to get to the level cap without an AC, I thought I was going to be giving you bad news. I remembered at one time one of the devs said there was no way you were going to be able to advance past level 10 without picking an advanced class. But then I found this in the AC dev blog:
Not conclusive proof that you'll be able to get to 50 as a non-advanced class, but it is proof that you don't have to pick one at level 10.
Can't wait to I level to smugglers. This is going to suck.

Not choosing an Advanced Class in SWtoR is like getting to level 10 in WoW and not spending your points.
The Advanced Class defines what you are and how you'll play, so it is mandatory, but I bet that, just like in WoW, you can get to max level without spending those points... if you are crazy to do it
So it's kinda like on aion? Once you hit 10 you choose which class you want? and you go from there? Can you change back to another class or do you have to start all over?
