Legacy System now DEMANDS 16 char slots per server

character slots isn’t the only thing that bothers me about Legacy. There’s also the whole Legacy being tied to a single server issue. If you roll on another server then you have to start all over with your Legacy there

Legacy doesn’t even match up to WoW’s guild perks in this situation because leaving a level 25 guild in WoW wasn’t so bad if you could join a level 25 guild on another server, but with this if you don’t pay to transfer a character then you completely lose out on all of your perks and have to start with nothing until you level that new character to 30+ again to reopen a fresh Legacy. Starting over from scratch with a new character is fun. Starting from scratch on such a huge time and energy investment project as a Legacy is disastrous.
It’s not a problem right now, but it very well could be in the somewhat near future if other games continue to open doors while SWTOR trudges forward with blinders on. Let people play what they want to play, with who they want to play it with, and without penalizing them one way or the other when they do so.

Make legacy bind to your account. If you won't increase slots then allow us the freedom to play where we wish with Legacy bound to the account.

I don't believe it "demands" it, but it would be nice to have some extra slots. I have 8 republic on one server and 8 empire on another server. It sure would be great to be able to have it all together.

If you have your characters on 2 different servers then you will not benefit from Legacy for both your servers. You will have to have separate Legacy on each server. Also, we were told that some of the Legacy benefits REQUIRE both Repub and Empire characters to be on SAME server.

Yup I realized that I would have two diff legacies that I would need to build. I didnt realize that I would need rep and emp on one server. I haven't seen that. That's too bad. Guess I will need to make some choices when the time comes about what starter characters I really want to keep.

I can't imagine having time for 16 alts, but I'm not opposed to a few more character slots. It certainly can't hurt the game, so I see no reason to not do it if there are a substantial number of players that want it.

Also thought about it, would be great if the legacy worth for their characters to another server (even if it was separated by categories, RP, PVP, PVE, etc.), it would certainly be much better than the current system, but I hope that at least the 8 more slots they implement T.T (would be willing even to pay for more slots haha)

I would love 16 slots, my chiss family needs more members and want them all in the same legacy exp pool.

I have atm all 8 slots full, and dont even have all the classes.

I know there are thousands of topics here in the forum, but it would be nice if someone from the staff at least speak to the future intend to implement more slots or not, I want to create a perfect legacy (xx perfectionist) and do not want many future surprises haha

Lets have patience, i'm pretty sure one day they will give us more slots for more chars.

It will be important to be able to unlock all species, and then roll the only rep side in imps, and only imps side in rep, so that would be at least 5 more slots.

Maybe the perfect way would be using the legacy lvls, so gain one extra slot every 5 or 10 legacy lvls.

Also, Legacy bind on account and not on server, can be something for future, dont think we need that right now, just remember wow took some time to allow chars transfers.

If everyone keeps posting this, i'm sure one day we will get it.
