Wow, I figured this would happen so I didn't leave any chars as a single profession. Also worked great on heroes.

Too bad they didn't let us keep the change.

Queenie · Sep 26, 2006, 07:09 AM // 07:09

Anet is evil! Why did they remove the feature of changing our secondary profs and attributes etc. I <3 this feature, it saved me porting to senji's corner or temp. balth to change my second prof. they should let us keep this feature becuz its very convinent for the player, he/she doesnt have to leave a group just to change their secondary.

Um. Because it was a weekend preview event?

I left my character as single profession but after reading this thread went to check if there were any issues

--- found no issues ---

I went to Senjis Corner, took monk for a 2nd prof, all my skills are there

Larceny · Sep 26, 2006, 08:14 AM // 08:14

well i sent a report to Anet hopfully they reply within a day or 2 and let me know what i can do to fix this...temple does nothing i have to be ascended first to change my prof there or "closer the the stars" w/e the hell that means

i was afk for about 6 hours ingame i had people pmin me asking me how am i only 1 proffession since the title above my head is just Mo

i agree that i dont even use my secondary necro prof at all but i thought it was cause for concern for poeple who dual prof and may have been stuck in this situation i figured i would make it public for anyone else who may experience this.

i never changed my sec prof while the preview was live i ran a few people through some missions in the jungle and that was it i logged off and came back monday to see my secondary was gone i didnt even try the new classes or anything

Getabrewon · Sep 26, 2006, 10:56 AM // 10:56

This has happened to my W/E also, I'm not far enough into the game to go to sesert and dont know about other suggestions so have emailed support. Didn't know this would stuff my character, wont bother previewing anything again.

Hope it gets fixed. please pm me if you get a solution!

Eviance · Sep 26, 2006, 03:44 PM // 15:44

It's likely just a glitch or bug and Anet will fix it. Calm down ^_^!

Magpye1 · Sep 26, 2006, 04:31 PM // 16:31

I've got the same problem, I emailed ANET and this is the reply I got:-

Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.

We appreciate you sharing your concerns with us on this potential issue. We have determined that this issue is not a bug, and that the game is working as designed.

You will need to do the appropriate quest to gain the Ranger as your secondary class again.

Funny thing is, you carn't do the quest again. There is definitely a bug in the game.

Larceny · Sep 26, 2006, 06:38 PM // 18:38

this was the reply i recieved from aNet

BaggyDave · Sep 26, 2006, 06:41 PM // 18:41

sounds like they are not bothered

I guess when Nightfall comes out it will be fixed then

Monk Mystic · Sep 26, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

you know the funniest part? they dont care that you dont have a secondary prof, but if they were to find out that the guy above still had a Mo/D theyd be flipping out jumping over each other trying to figure out how to fix it.*mass dev chaos ftw*

Feminist Terrorist · Sep 26, 2006, 07:06 PM // 19:06

Go back in to your support ticket and update it. Tell them again what the problem is and that their automated response did not fix the problem. If necessary, take a screen shot of your character's attributes and stuff from the "hero" box.

Griff Mon · Sep 26, 2006, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Dang- I really liked being able to flip back and forth between N/Mo and N/Me on the fly. It saved me a trip to the desert. Oh well, kind of like the 2ndry storage upgrade, You will get it when you buy nightfall....

Getabrewon · Sep 26, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

They are looking at it now - this is the latest of 3 replies to my query - hang in there!

well if im forced to buy NF to get my secondary back thats kinda gay since ive never even played factions..i didnt plan on buying any of the expansions or anything

Masseur · Sep 26, 2006, 08:30 PM // 20:30

You don't have to wait for NF, either in the desert or at Senji's Corner in Factions you can change your 2nd profession. Or they might be fixing it as another update since people have NF professions still that shouldn't have them, either way you don't have to wait.

Age · Sep 26, 2006, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Did you submit a screenshot as an attachment as just Mo if not do it agian and keep at it untill it is resolved even if you did ascend you couldn't change your secoundary.

headcarb · Sep 26, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

Because in PvP, it can create speculation on what you might have up your sleeve. Say you have only every used 5 skills in a GvG. The enemy has no chance of knowing the last 3. If you are only Mo, they will only have 100 or so skills to speculate about. If you are a Mo/R however, even if you go pure monk, the enemy will speculate a lot about what in the world those last 3 skills could be.
The first law of warfare: Know thine enemy
If you have a secondary, the enemy will have a harder time knowing you.

Besides that point, pure monk is not very effective. If you want to survive tougher battles, you should really invest in a Me secondary with Channeling, in order to keep your energy level up.
