Yes! Yes, more Chua!
Chua can make Chua out of Smoochie, might hurt little.	
----
			
...the non-naked kind perhaps...
 
 
Curious as to why this got moved out of General and into community. Perhaps I should have specified. No, not in real life. Yes, in game. Specifically, wanting to have a racechange option in the future. I like the size of the Mechari model, but really dislike just about everything else.	
----
			
A friend of mine really wants this feature as well.  I have a feeling account services like faction/race changes are coming, but wont be any time soon.
 
My thought on the subject is that they wont implement the system until they broaden and normalize class/race combinations a bit more. I have a Chua Esper, the only other race I could change him to right now is Human. A lack of options really becomes apparent when you think about it.  
 
Not all class/race changes are likely to happen, but a bigger selection is entirely possible. This along with faction transfer will probably all hit at once, and will be good population wise...if the exile/dom split is as one sided as I hear.

Soo.. any time soon?
I'd gladly pay some muneyz for this option.

Race change in Wildstar comes with a big problem: not all races can be all the classes. That means that any implementation has to either:
1) Be limited by class (If you are a Cassian Medic, you can only become a Chua or a Mechari but not a Draken, etc).
2) Come with an included class-change if you move to a race that doesn't have that class available.
 
If they implement it, I bet they'll go for number 1 and only because that's the easiest and cheapest approach. Number 2 comes with its own problems. Namely, that it'd make your current gear useless or impossible to wear in some cases. 
Naturally, I'm ignoring option 3, which is that they'll let every race be any class in the future. As much as I'd like that...yeah, I don't see it happening.

			No wait don't. Come back... damn we lost another one.

Race changing shouldn't be a problem, even with limitations. I can't speak for everyone, but I know for sure there are warriors out there who made a Draken, but might want to be a Mechari...Granok medics who want to be human medics, and human espers that want to be Chua espers, etc...
 
While expanding the race/class combos would be nice, I highly doubt we'll see that anytime soon considering how long we've barked up that tree. However lack of said expansion does not dismiss the feasibility of such service and as with other games that offer this service they add more options as time goes on. WoW, TERA, Allods, and a few other games can be cited where they offered the service and in time as race/class combinations became available they too were added to the possible choices.
 
You do not need the expansion prior to the service being implemented.

This wouldn't be an issue if you'd just rolled the right race to begin with.
 
Sheesh.  :lol:

Much as I know that's a joke(i hope), there sadly is someone out there who believes that...

			Didn't Carbine once raised the argument that not every race could play every class due animation problems or something?

Yeah, "time before launch" was the reason given. Naturally, all that feedback was archived after the Black Ops closed.
 
The long and short of it was (paraphrased) "We wanted to do it. We probably will eventually do it. But we had to make choices for launch, so we looked at the Lore and made our choices."
 
Chua Medics were a late addition, because at some point, someone noticed that only two Dominion races could be Medics, and that "wasn't fair" because three Exiles races could be Medics.

Righto.
I wouldn't mind being able to swap it all around.
Chua Warrior and Chua Stalker !!!

All I want for Christmas is a Granok Stalker.
 
"You're too big to be a thief!"

A Granok esper would be a massive overhaul. 
 
First they would need to get rid of all those cute butterfies, carrots, pretty trees and stuff..
 
Replace the graphics with floating pink elephants, little happy kegs lightning bolts and guitars.

Chua vs Aurin!
 
In the white box we have the infectious Chua's, they may look cute a cuddly (BOOOOOO screams the crowd), but don't let the looks fool you, they use weapons of mass destruction!
 
And in the corner we have the cute and lovely Aurin!! (WOOOOOO screams the crowd, then some random dude shouts "i love youuuuuu") they are quick, they are fast, and they will claw you!

Woah! Lets see that action replay again in slow motion!
 
https://youtu.be/9R0qd5SSJaw?t=45s
 
(make sure ya change settings to Speed: 0.25)
 
We clearly have a winner here! But let you decide!

TERA used to swap existing cash shop items from one race to another whenever you did a race change. I don't know if they do that anymore.  That seems to me like a much bigger hurdle (all that item swapping! by hand by some poor Support person) than the fact that you are restricted when changing races to ones that can play your class.

I would like to play a Draken Engineer :)

I'm still holding out hope for unlocking race/class combos. FFS let me make a mordesh esper... @_@

I can't be subtle about it. So here it goes...and I know the answer, but doesn't hrut to put it out there.
 
If Carbine doesn't mind other people volunteering to do the animation work I'll gladly do it. If that's what it takes to get Granok stalkers and Chua warriors I'll clear my entire schedule so everyone can have em!

I mean you already fixed the red flash issue for them, so why not?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
hehe as much as I'd love to and it wouldn't bet the first MMO I've done this in.
 
I and others using said mod could potentially be banned for this type of thing since I'd actually be modifying the game files themselves as opposed to the red flash fix where I modified an addon that is allowed by their given API. While it wouldn't hurt anyones gameplay it falls under the umbrella of hacking the client itself. Learned that lesson the hard way in WoW when I made myself into a troll warlock during BC since Blizzard didn't want to do it.(go figure they did it later on though lol)
 
Though I guess I could just do the animations...present them and let Carbine take i from there as an alternative rather than implementing it myself...

Give me Mechari Espers, and I will send you chocolate, and flowers, and beer, and coffee, and wine, and maybe some jewelry, and whatever other vices you might have.

Your laughing will soon disappear when that raging furball jumps on you with his sword and gnaws your face off.

Sorry, but I just picture this with a sword sticky taped to it when I think of chua warrior

			I would SO love to have a Chua running around as an Exile...heh.

I'll just leave this here...look four rows down, all the way on the left....

			I just want faction changes. I'm not playing my Dominion characters, so it's not like I'd be diminishing the population by switching them over.	
----
			I'm not a fan of race changes because it doesn't make sense to me. Faction changes would be cool if we could betray our current faction (e.g. exile draken), but the biggest no no of all would be a class change for me. I just feel like if you wanna get a class change, you might as well learn it from the start. Maybe class changes could be a thing for people who have already reached a certain level in that class on another character.
