Added your entries TheEvilEeyore.

 

Also added the manage companions and character gear suggestion.

Edited May 15, 2012 by Deewe

For some speeders that show room for an additional seat, you should be able to put your companion on with you. If you can't fit them, then you should have to resummon them once you get off. This would add a new dynamic for speeders, as 2 person ones would of course cost more for the convienyence.

There's the following entry yet:

 

• Speeders (single player, multiplayer & character + companion)
  

Great list here.

 

One addition I'd really like to see added to the legacy (and it already fits with the coming experience point modifier unlocks) is an unlock that grants us more experience for completing ground quests, or at least class story quests. I know that we've got unlocks coming that increase experience from flashpoints, space and... I can't remember the third, a PvP EXP bonus, I think... but space missions are limited, and if you're not much of a PvPer that one doesn't do you any good. It would be great to have one that gave us increased experience for completing ground quests or, like I said, at least for class story quests.

It can be monotonous leveling up an alternate character when you've already gone through most of the content on another character. Having something that helps us level up would really be nice.

This may be a bit too far, but I think it would be a cool option to have characters in your Legacy be able to serve as Companions.

 

There could be two mechanisms: one for combat and one for crafting.

 

Combat: One of your Legacy characters joins you as the Companion. There would be no dialogue (or have the voice-actor supply 2-3 sample "if used as companion" lines). They would get all their abilities. To prevent abuse, they are adjusted to have the strength of the character you're playing (so you can't summon an L50 character to be the companion of your L15).

 

Crafting: For a (maybe significantly) larger fee than normal, you can access your Legacy's crafting skills. Let's say my Juggernaut has Synthweaving, but I want some good health packs that my Mercenary has, then I can task the Mercenary with it. It would work with Mission skills as well (as well as the Mission aspects of the Gathering skills; you would NOT be able to slice lockboxes if your alt has Slicing, for example). It would need to be more expensive (e.g. shipping costs, etc.). Maybe to ensure that it doesn't upset the in-game economiy, you can make it slightly more expensive then if you bought the same goods off of the GTS.

 

I also want to comment on some other points: I would love it if there were Datacron Codex Entry sharing. Maybe sharing the benefits of the actual Datacron is too much (it would be lame if only one character needed to ride that 30 minute Jawa Balloon, and just give the rewards to the rest, and it could overpower low-level characters), but I want all the Galactic History lines on one Codex!

Characters as companions was already in the OP.

 

Still for the little story it's far from a simple to implement especially if your alt isn't the same level of your character.

 

Maybe if it was restricted between capped characters, but in that case I guess it's much less appealing, isn't it?

Added a few entries in the OP like adding companions in the legacy tree.

 

For example you can romance them so why not add them as spouse?

Maybe not normal comps join family tree, How about your Wife or Husband comp?

Maybe not normal comps join family tree, How about your Wife or Husband comp?

Well you could have new links like friend, or relation or well I don't know anything...

 

Then how about having a blank link leaving to the player the choice to fill in the type of relation?

So far it's not like the relation is anything else than a cosmetic one.

Will have to sort it out and add it to the OP, *scratches head*

Sticky = Needed

Ok went through more posts, and updatedt he OP. Edited June 1, 2012 by Deewe

Some more details on

 

.......#9 Crew Skills (Send other character companions on crafting missions).

 

 

Allowing players to send as many companions as they want on crafting mission would ruin the economy.

 

So how about something along being able to send 1 companion by maxed out character or, for players that runs many low level alts at once, by 10 legacy level? With a maximum of maybe 5 alts companions alts out at once.

 

Sounds very legacy...ish to me

This deserves to be seen.

Found this Via THIS THREAD.

 

These are great ideas. I don't agree with all of them, but they're still all great. Wonderful compilation. Great work.

Also, I don't see anything in here about Legacy Datacron unlocks. Meaning one you get a Datacron on one character, it unlocks for all of them.

This is overall exactly what I was hoping to expect from the Legacy system. Something that closes the alt gap.

 

Leveling an alt has always felt so restrictive to me. I would farm for those types of things.

 

Make me feel rewarded for having a level 50 and playing an alt. Not just "here is some more xp, but it wont really save you time because in the time you farm these credits you could of made up the xp".

I agree with almost everything that has been posted, using an alt as a tank would be sweet! plus finally seeing mako's face would be nice.

 

However i would also like to see a legacy or chapter unlock for the channeled ability's like Seethe(i.e. completing chapter one unlocks seethe on all your alts to be used in place of their channel)

 

great thread, lets keep it going

Originally when I saw the class emotes, that's what I thought they were going to be. I thought you were going to be able to use that class's recover. It sucks that you can't.

Also, I don't see anything in here about Legacy Datacron unlocks. Meaning one you get a Datacron on one character, it unlocks for all of them.

I made an error on the entry I wrote holoron unlock instead of datacron unlock.

So I fixed the OP.

 

Thx for the feedback.

Some great ideas here. Have a few of my own, they might have been already posted so if they have I apologize.

1. New 1.3 Legacy Perks are legacy wide, so when 1 character unlocks them, they unlock for all.

2. More Legacy Quick travel Points (1 for each planet would be nice).

3. Lower the point at which Character buffs can be applied Legacy Wide, right now you have to complete Chapter 2 with a character to unlock their class buff to the rest of your legacy, drop it to Chapter 1 or even once the prologue is completed (although it would only be at 50% power until you complete Chapter 1)

4. More Legacy Armor Sets for a greater range of levels, a set for lvl 10, 15, 20, 25, ect.

5. Ability to summon help from your other legacy characters (same faction only). Once summoned there would be a time delay while they traveled to your location before they joined you on the field, unloaded their best moves and then retreated. This would need a 24hr cooldown and require the alt in question to already unlocked access to a ship, unless they were already on the same planet. Summoned alts would be buffed or de-buffed to match your current character's level.

6. Call in your spaceship to do a stafing or bombing run on your enemy, at least a 6hr cooldown and only useable to Elites and above, and not useable in PvP

Sounds epic to me

 

Updated the OP.

My big hope for Legacy is that we get new species added in. I am hoping Kel'dor as they are popular enough they might make the cut even though they are ugly.

New species are quite high in the most asked features list.

 

Although non humanoid bodies requires lots of work, which atm with a downsized team looks like very much improbable unless maybe along RMT, and even.
