Sadly the legacy perks are still a huge money sink aimed at hardcore players.

We let you know what we thing in the PTS, especially that people don't want to pay twice for perks. Either make it tied to legacy levels or credits, be it for 1.3 or 1,2 perks.

Many players also want to be able to change their legacy name. And not less would like to have last names separated from legacy titles. We all know it's a quick win, so not a matter of time nor cost to implement it.

From the recent infos looks like you want to make people pay to be able to change their legacy name or get the cool legacy perks as for now most of them aren't that good.

Its absolutely unfathomable why the legacy costs money in the first place. WHy even bother having a legacy system at all? This doesn't promote leveling legacy. It would have been nice IF each legacy level would unlock something without having to pay for every upgrade and they are OBSCENE prices at that. You want the ultra awesome thing it should be unlocked by the ultra awesome legacy level. Instead its just "oh well you unlocked legacy level 10 that's good enough as long as you give me 10 million credits"

... BLARGH...


Such a waste.

These changes completely fail the intent of a Legacy. This feature was pitched to us as a reward for playing the game and creating multiple characters. Not only has the Legacy level meant next to nothing, but the associated credit costs have made it a necessity to spend weeks farming in order to purchase them for each new character you wish to create if you would even like to take advantage of the added perks.

I am completely disappointed and feel misled yet again from your development team. Doing repetitive daily quests and farming for credits just to enjoy the game is a time sink, and they are certainly not fun. Please stop adding unnecessary time sinks to your game.

Why is this feature part of the legacy system if it has nothing to do with legacy?

Another poor design choice by Bioware. These should have been server wide unlocks instead of what they are now; a really bad credit sink.

Thanks for continuing to ignore us, Bioware.

Legacy Character Perks sounds like an oxymoron to me.

OMG you mean I can't buy everything instantly because it doesn't come cheap? WTH BW???

Seriously people, obtaining credits in this game is ridiculously easy, can make a million in a matter of hours, and who the hell says you've to get everything immediately, finally, something that will take some time to complete, kudos BW, kudos.

You could just still do the quests you know. Or...why not control how much you do, this way you don't out level anything? You don't need a button or whatever to slow/stop XP....you just need to control what you do.
