Legacy Perks in Game Update 1.3

I think these are solid perks as well. And they are exactly that: perks.

Not required, not for everyone.

If you want one and can afford it, it makes your life easier, but it does't hurt anyone else not to have it..

The only thing I took from this entire post:

William Wallace. FREEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOM

Man, I hope these dont cost an insane ammount of credits, I mean, if I have to spend hours farming credits to get these XP boots, I might as well spend those hours leveling my alt.

I wonder if Mr Willaim Wallace has any plans of making the Rocket Boost permanent, a Legacy Vehicle of sorts.

this is taken directly from the blog post.

Class Mission modifiers, which increase the amount of experience you gain from completing your character’s story missions.

can we presume that this (and all other XP upgrades) act at the same rate increase as rested XP?

You'd be surprised how they add up. If you go to the Test center forum and lookup my posts on the subject, I was making well over 1 level per hour up until around lvl 26ish. I was also able to lvl from lvl 21 to 24 with just exploration exp.

Making over 1 level per hour really adds up and is a HUGE time saver and well worth every single credit I spent.

Regarding the prices/costs, get a lvl 50 and you will realize how cheap it really is.
I plan on using multiple of these perks on different alts after 1.3 launches.

Credit sinks are in there for a reason. There was a user that had posted this reasoning in another one of the threads here (can't remember which one or what the users name is, so if he's reading this I apologize in advance for not immediately giving you credit on your quote, but you'll know who you are.)

Anyway, the reason why credit sinks are in this game, is so that it doesn't screw the economy over for new players and fresh alts. think about it, if respecs and mod removal and legacy items were free or at such a trivial cost, then there would be thousands upon thousands of players hoarding millions/billions of credits and nothing to spend it on. At that rate, people can charge whatever they want on the GTN and nobody will care, and will pay it without so much as a second thought.

I would much prefer having it done this way. Yes it's a daily grind if you want the credits, but it's either this or a severely overinflated market. I'll take the former.

Now that being said, I think if you do a little bit of math and apply it over a period of time, you'll see that the XP gains are actually a lot more beneficial than you give it credit for.

Let's say over the course of 12 quests, every 33% of the way, the XP gain naturally increases as per progression guidelines should (in theory) normally dictate. So lets set arbitrary numbers at 4000 for the first 4 quests, 6000 for the next 4 quests, and 8000 for the last 4.

At a global 30% boost to all XP gained from quests this pushes each number to 5200 for the first 4 quests, 7800 for the next 4 quests, and 10400 for the last 4 quests. So without the legacy perk, your initial quest experience gains would total 72,000 (not counting any mobs killed, codex entries picked up, etc.. This only totals the experience gained from the mission upon turning in).

With the Legacy perk active, this increases your XP gain to 93600 experience. (21600 difference). This is a rough estimate on how things would work, and of course, numbers will vary depending on level and what quests you're doing. Plus take into consideration that there's still mob XP, map discovery XP, Codex entry XP, companion story XP to take into account. I didn't take PVP, Flashpoint or Space XP into this equation as they each have their own unlockable.

The button's been there since beta, they just hid it right before live. A full Dual Spec system with gear sets is far more complex. That said, they have had plenty of time to get that done by now too.

cant wait for tuesday

Patch 2.9

Legacy Upgrade:

You asked for it so here it is! Want a fully Rakata geared level 70 toon? Pay 100mil credits and click that button...

*** is this? The game has been out for less than a year and you are already falling into the 'have it all faster, bigger, NOW!' mentality that has screwed up Lotro - and you don't even have PtW yet. If the next patch is as asinine as this one I'll be the last of my original guild to say 'bye-bye'.

This game is going to end up being as challenging as Farmville at this rate.

Excuse me, but you do NOT speak for me, and I am part of the community....... I DO NOT WANT dual specs. I don't want to join a group to be told that i HAVE to respec to X just because I can. That is BS.
