Legacy system is nothing but an alt-grinding feature

That would be AAA. Its from EQ, alternative advancement(ie. ways to improve your character other then gear at cap).

Journey beats the destination.

Wrong. Look at the home page. It's not marked as a big update.
They call it "possibly the biggest free update ever given in a video game!"
Delusional much Bioware?

Same here

For me the legacy adds a lot as well and gives me more goals to achieve so could potentially keep me here longer.


In all honesty...isnt this just a troll thread?

How many games have updates that were that big? The patch was over a 1 GB.

Yep, I was completely expecting alternate advancement.

All we got was an alt grind and cash sinks.

Yes, rolling alt after alt is a giant grind, because the class story is only 20% of the stuff you do to get to 50, the other 80% you have to repeat 4 times per faction.

I would gladly roll 8 alts just for the story if the story was all I had to do.

Why the rewards are tied to cash, I have no idea.

It's a decent system, but it needs more work for it to be really rewarding.

What is really confusing for me is how long all this stuff has taken to be released. The game has been out long enough that most people who are going to roll an alt have already done so, therefore the benefits of a lot of these features are minimal. For instance, the added buffs to all your characters after one finishes chapter 2 or the legacy gear token for a level 14 item.

I was looking at legacy features to come in the 1.3 update and one of them is a legacy speeder license allowing you to give a level 10 alt the ability to use a lvl 25 speeder. I wonder how many people will have their alts past level 25 by the time 1.3 comes out. I am guessing most players will be past the point of that being a cool feature for them.

Maybe I started playing this game too soon.
