How do I play as Joined Trill?

misanthrope

I know to play as joined Trill it requires like 600 Zen but I can't find the option to play as that race either on the C-Store or in the new character creation thing. When I go to create a new character there's all those other races and there's regular Trill but there's no joined Trill option?

Ok thank you, I looked through literally every tab of the store and couldn't find it but I guess I didn't think to look through the sub tabs, and then I found it.

This is a joined race I wish PWE would improve. Give us some Symbiont options and allow us to swap them out, just like gear, but offer special traits that can be selected only when that Symbiont is slotted. As much as I am not too fond of lock boxes. I wouldn't even mind an epic Symbiont from a lock box to improve my one Joined-Trill character.

I don't think symbiote swapping is a thing unless the host is dying, though, so that would be a very weird thing to implement. Not that they couldn't do it right, I mean Jadzia Dax was an interesting character when you understand why Sisko called her Old Man. I just don't know how they would implement it in a way that works and makes sense.

An interesting idea, but Trill don't 'swap out' their symbiont at will.. it's a dangerous surgical process and one that is only done in rare circumstances. I don't see them just swapping it out on a per mission basis. The pairing of host and symbiont is intended to be for life and the host is very carefully picked for the symbiont. Not like they have a pile of extra symbiont's just laying around waiting for the right mission for them to be used.

I get that, but I am thinking of fun in the game, not replicating the show. After all. How do you expect PWE to keep popping out new ideas to suck players in if you can't change out something that is essentially, an add-on. As much as I would love the ability to go to ESD, Drozana, or somewhere else for a Symbiont swap, legit or black market. I can't imagine PWE putting that much work in to it. Something swappable, just like how other ground gear works, sounded like the easiest way to improve this character choice.
