Why would I assume something was permanent when I have no info that says it would be?? Bioware made it perfectly clear in the game that your AC would be a permanent choice.. Even in the early betas.. We never got to test legacy in the beta.. All we had was a screen that said comming soon.. It was a tab attached to your talent trees screen.. We (the beta testers) thought it might be dual speccing..

So it would be some what stupid to assume something was permanent unless there was something telling you it was.. That would be like assuming that your crew skills are permenant and that you can't change them.. Bioware needs to let us the player know when something is a permanent choice.. Otherwise we will act as if it isn't in the absence of any information that says it is.. We all knew from the very start that our AC was permenent.. We were not only told in dialogue boxes, but in the conversations with the quest givers and trainers as welll..

In real life you can change your family name if you got a valid reason, it will cost ya.
Works pretty much the same as mmo's. Give money, we change.

Legacy namechange will come, just have to be very patient. In the meantime choose hide. (I do the same for chars I dont want to see my name on. Not because I hate my legacy but a chiss with a human surname. Meh)

There has been a discussion on this multiple times. (which was simply found in search)
Find me a yellow post.. Written by someone from bioware.. Not someone else's speculation..

Good advice..

That is true, if we dont like the product we will cancel the subscription. The Legacy name alone will not make me cancel my subscription, but it adds to the list of problems I have with the game as it stands now.

I know there are many threads about the Legacy name, but they still havent done anything about it, so I made a new one. Focus on a problem usually helps and it is a big deal for me. I dont want to hide my Legacy name, I want other ppl to know how good / bad I am in pvp and maybe next time they recognize the name for good and bad...

The problem is that making multiple threads about the same topic is the opposite of focus.

Just curious.....what is the legacy name that you are so ashamed of?

Old forums are closed. /repeat *stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut*

Hey look a nice brick wall, let's see if it talks back.

No use to talk, if i keep repeating myself the comment about legacy has been removed from the old forums since they're whiped and you keep asking for that comment.

In either case here folks..

The OP started a this topic.. Whether or not Bioware allows legacy changes doesn't effect any of you and it doesn't effect game play..

I support legacy name changes.. Both my wife and I feel victim to lack of information from Bioware.. The fact that I can hide it is irrelevent.. Anyone who says that is basically saying that people are not entitled to legacy names they like..

As for priority?? This is an issue that isn't going away.. The added dialogue is nice, but it does nothing for the people that made the choice without the proper information.. Fixing that issue is a part of customer service and is a high priority..

I just fail to understand why anyone would say anything negative about this issue or to anyone that wants to change their legacy.. Again, it doesn't effect them and it doesn't effect game play.. So why do any of you care whether or not anyone else can change their legacy name??

Read an article from BioWare on pcworld about doing "anything and everything" to keep players logging in, well start by letting me change my Legacy name. Your whole char is defined around this Legacy system and if you for some reason picked something stupid or silly that only fits one of your chars then you are stuck with it and everytime you log on with another char you are reminded of how stupid that choice was and maybe you should start playing on another server, but your friends are on this one.. Play a some hours on another server, maybe try playing Republic more, but you have more fun with Empire and then you realize you are just wasting time on that server, maybe wasting time playing swtor?

Well, hope I can change my Legacy name soon.

Won't work.


Even then BioWare has to see a reason to change it. They will sense the difference between spamming for a forced change and an actual valid reason for a change.

Trust me, some tried.

Ok.. They are closed.. It was pointless search anyways.. I knew there was no bioware info about the names being permanent.. There was speculation abound.. Everyone had their own ideas as to what legacy would be like.. None of really new much of anything until 1.2 was released.. Other than our names were permenant.. There was again speculation abound as to what you would get, what you would unlock, countless dream threads of what people were hoping for.. But no solid information. The closest we got to hints was that 1.2 preview..
