This. If you're that focused on your main, you'll be getting all those buffs in ops and likely flashpoints, so it doesn't matter. These buffs are to help people who have leveled once, get through the leveling process a little faster the next time. Legacy is designed for the individual who likes more than one character.

In this thread, and all the other threads, I've yet to see anyone point out an MMO that is thriving in sales or customer reviews. Don't point out the 3x increase from LOTRO, one it's F2P and any F2P is a bad comparision, two, the 3x increase was one month after the initial switch, show me some recent data. Everyone's opinion has been subjective. If anything, we can assess subscription MMO games in general are on a decline due to failing economy and the lack of any dramatic change in the industry. It's still kill x,y,z with different artistic styles and backgrounds.

Just because a game went F2P and the company tripled it's income, doesn't mean the game wasn't killed.

Pretty generalized statement. Actually, I play MMO's as a means to socialize with friends and relatives around the country, as opposed to just poking them on Facebook. We all found something we enjoy. A lot of us have spent last month debating sticking out this or going back to WoW. And if the fact we don't get annoyed to the point we start writing flaming posts about what's wrong with blah blah blah and dropping subs is proof that devs don't have a clue makes your reply true, so be it. We enjoy the social aspect MMO's provide, more than anything else.

The people that want F2P, have no idea what F2P means...for me, it means back to Azeroth

You want presence on your stats.

They're not going to tell people not to log in. Yes, they messed up the wording. But hopefully most see it as, there's an issue with matrix relics. If you log in and find it missing, BW knows about the problem and is working to resolve it. To the people that feel cheated, everyone who has one is missing it, so the playing field has not changed levels. This thread is just another of the hundreds of disgruntled posts from people fed up. I personally wish they would just move on, and let the 75% of subscribers that remain enjoy the game, and use the forums constructively.

This. Stop making ludicrous statements like "I want my cube back ASAP" Just...stop.

Wow - game acknowledges an issue and posts what they know so far to the community, yet you feel the need to flame and demand immediate restitution. BW - thanks for taking some action. Hopefully OP will not explode while you search for a solution.

OMG - they're offering perks to make my character more OP, level faster....but I have to make credits to pay for it?!?! How rude of you game designer. What is the meaning of this? I did not ask for Legacy system to be designed this way, I want my perks given to me on a silver platter, and what?? I have to pay for them on each character??? Why did you not read my mind and know this before designing this silly Legacy thing. It's not that I want to crush the person leveling a charcter for the first time, I want to do it for basically no extra cost or effort, and I want to completely demoralize him when I do it. /end sarcastic rant Get over yourselves people. Put suggestions in the suggestion box, and try being constructive without flaming comments like 'Bioware doesn't have a clue'. As you can see, I think they've given people too much, by the time you're leveling your 16th charcter, you'll be so OP and do it so fast, will you really enjoy it?

OP - if you are totally focusing on damage, why would you use any of the heroic abilities replacing one of your own? As a smuggler, I surely wouldn't use Force Storm over any of my priority shots.

Not sure what happened to OP - but just to be clear, we're talking about an ability that can only be used while soloing or grouped with less than 4 people, since you must have your companion out. Not for OPs, not for HM Flashpoints. Really not for flashpoints, but I'm sure there are those who are soloing some now, so I won't push that. Also we're talking about a BONUS ability, not part of the standard ability. And we're discussing abilities anybody can attain, while at a great amount of time, not a reward for finishing Nightmare Ops. I use heroic moment as intended, to reset a cooldown and get a minute of some healing while fighting a mini-boss at the end of a questline, if I didn't kill it the first time.....that's it. This is by far a weak statement for why BW favors Imps over pubs. If it was inlcluded in a list of other reasons (I can't think of any) , it might have more merit. EDIT: For SI's the aoe lightning is channeled, if I move, it ends. And it's also a mouse target ability, you can't just click a button and it goes off. You hit the spell, mouse target where you want it (like BH Death from Above) and then click again. Most cases I use heroic moment, I want the extra stun, not a channeled aoe

Legacy was designed for people who like to create multiple characters and give them some rewards for doing so. Complaining that one class gets an ability that does maybe 1k more damage over a minimum of 20 minutes is hardly worthy of a thread. Roll all the classes and it's not an issue, you then have all the heroic abilities at your fingertips.

I might suggest anger management counseling - server maintenance and downtimes have been part of on-line gaming for a while now...it's expected. Suggestion: Find a more relaxing hobby
