Can you change profile name and character freely?

[Keaton Fox]

One of my concerns from the beta is how after making a profile character, we couldn't change the name of it afterwards. Nor could we change the playable character associated with the perk. At least as far as I know. I'm hoping we are now easily able to, as I'm not keen on pairing characters and classes permanently.

If we can't change character's that freely, who does everyone pair with their classes? I do like all four main characters, and I don't know who I would pair with my Recon on my Recon profile, or assault on my assault profile.

You can have up to 5 different characters. However, only the appearance can be changed. So no name or class/country changes can be made after it, youd have to delete the character.

That's what I was afraid of. I would hate to make a profile with a class, name, and character. Only to max it out after several hundred hours of gameplay and want to change the name or character associated with the profile. And of course not wanting to delete all the hard work. Part of the reason I'd love class progression to exist outside of profiles. As in leveling up a class levels it up for every profile sharing that class. Or any new profile using that class.

Honestly, I don't mind this. I think that was the idea from the beginning. I just made 4 different classes with different countries and I just level up those characters. I do however agree that we should be able to change at least the name and region, if class change is not the option.

Yea, I'm just afraid of making a class and picking a character. To want to change that character after something hundred hours, and not being able to. Not without starting from level 0 again. With five profiles, it's assumed most people will use four of them for a class each. And I'm sure most people will use each character, aligning one per class to use them all. But what if I'm sick of playing Sterling with Assault? And just want to switch to Wolfgang on my assault?

In any case I hope they'll extend the number of profiles if they ever add new characters.

+1 for allowing at least name changes

Hm, I'm really wanting to start playing the game. But I'm still trying to decide which character to use with what class. Since we can't change playable character in the profile I got to make the right choice the first time. I like all four, but who to make what?

Really, theres like 0 difference. You clinge too much on this. You don't even see your character at all, only hands. So you choosing the "wrong" one is 0 to none.
