1)"allowing those characters to switch any levels in the four classes to their unchained version at no cost."
<br />
So only allowed to swap the four classes in unchained, check</p>
<p>2)"This includes the automatic retraining of any rage powers or rogue talents"
<br />
I read this as all rage powers and rogue talents are wiped, reset to nothing and you can pick what you like from the new powers/talents offered.</p>
<p>3)"as well as the free retraining and selling at full cost of any feats, items, and other character options that no long function properly due to the unchained classes features"
<br />
Well because of point 2, which <b>precedes</b> this clause I happened to pick unchained talents/powers, class features which no longer work with the feats/items/options I had before so they no longer function properly, therefore I can change them, even though it was my choices in point 2 that caused the change.</p>
<p>What strikes me is that it seems that those most vociferous in opposing a more lenient attitude seem to be those who do not have any of the classes in question. In other words, 'I am unable to do a rebuild, so why should those who can be left off easy.'</p>
<p>I might be wrong, but who knows.</p>
<p>One thing though, unless there is an OFFICIAL ruling we can all say what we want on the boards, we have no official standing.</p>blog wrote:announcing a one-time limited rebuild to anyone with one or more levels in these classes, allowing those characters to switch any levels in the four classes to their unchained version at no cost.

<br />
I did read quite a lot of the information out there, but I feel that there is some information that new players should be aware of and in short form it can be more helpful that telling them to go dig through the documentation out there.
<br />
Please feel free to add your points too or to ask questions.</p>
<p>1) Do NOT spend any xp unless you are absolutely sure you need the skill/feat/profession etc.
<br />
2) Always have a distance weapon of some sort, be it a bow or magic.
<br />
3) 'R' is autorun, 'Ctrl' will make you sprint, remember running away from a fight is an option.
<br />
4) Before purchasing anything that needs xp, ask yourself if you need it and have you researched it?
<br />
5) There are no stupid questions on the General chat during Alpha, and indeed during EE, most of the players do not bite, though TEO might ask you for your soul.
<br />
6) Quite a lot of bugs can be solved by logging out and waiting a minute or two, this can even fix the teleport bug.
<br />
7) You get basic attacks when equipping a weapon, these are enough to fight with it, unless you want to specialise more.
<br />
8) Knowledge skills and gatherer skills at level 1 are cheap and indespensable, IMHO.
<br />
9) DO NOT ATTACK THE THORNGUARDS, they never forget a name.</p>
<p>If I think of more I will add them.</p>As a new player, I found that the game has a steep learning curve.
