Legacy Perks in Game Update 1.3

here is a scary thought, maybe the xp bonuses is because they are going to reduce xp gained on each planet/fp/wz. using rest and clearing all that you can on a planet you can eaisly get 2-3 lvls higher than the min for the planet before you get there.

ok i'll take off my tin hat now

I think it would be useful if the field respec perk allowed you to save templates of specs too. You could still keep a cost for switching, but this would create a pseudo dual spec, and really help out in situations when your team needs a dps and not a tank sans the hassle of reallocating points each time.

I don't see the prices as being a big deal. I play mostly for the story, I have 2 50's that I have done almost no end game stuff on and a 45 that once I get to 50 I plan on spending time with. I really want to level every character to 50, but I do realize I need to spend some time with one of the 50's to get the cash. But that's just it, it's do-able. Maybe not your first time through, but any character after this I can grind out the money I need for the perks I want before starting them and they will level as fast as I want. It's a mmo and I plan on playing it for a long time. It's good to have something to work on.

Looking at the travel perks, I really wish they would have added a perk that let you return directly to your ship. Maybe something to think about adding in the future. (hint hint)

WOW, William the fact that you still have a job amazes me.........the first people to 50 don't play on average cause of your job to keep this fun is a laughing stock. Plain and simple.

Coming from a causal player I can't get these perks. They would be nice to get since I do want to see the different class stories but I cannot afford them

One, the credit cost is too much. Two, the legacy level is the real killer for me and I would think most people who would want to level alts in general in their own way.

Since I only have time during the weekend to play, 2 or 3 hours, getting the legacy level that high is the PITA part for me. Maybe a legacy unlock to gain legacy XP faster would do the trick. Honestly though for casuals, people that don't have a lot of time to play, this whole legacy thing blows.

Having to spend so much time doing boring crap to finally be able to unlock ways to cut the fat from leveling is stupid. Just increase the XP for doing class quests, PvP, and ship missions and be done with it. Or just lower the XP required to level. The only reason I can think of having XP boosts inside the legacy system is this will be the setup for MT down the road.

so much fail with the legacy system....

There was a glimmer of hope when i first heard that,
1. you could spend creds or gain legacy levels to gain this stuff.... WRONG!
2. There would actually be a point in gaining legacy levels.....WRONG

I am legacy level 50 and what do I get for it? Not a darn thing once your past leg 32 (i think that's the highest one req'ed) the rest of the leg lvl's are pointless and useless.

Good job BioWare. I don't know what went on over there but you've degraded as a company since Kotor and ME1 and DA.

i understand this is your first MMO and all but when there are SO many people (most of which have been MMO'ers for MANY years) letting you know what things are faulted and why, and yet you ignore them.

I'm done defending you. I'll complete my republic storyline (did all the empire ones) but afterwards I can not say I'll be sticking around much longer.

The worst part is I was so looking forward to this MMO being something I could have fun with. I spent so many years with WoW (was in beta and stayed until around the end of wrath) I thought "Well if any developer could turn this game into something that could rival WoW these guys can!" and yet I feel so let down.

Some tips for ya (not that you'll read them or even give a flip if you do),
You have a good solid storyline and thats good but people want and need things to do at end game (loved how DDO you could start back over with a character once you capped with semi improved stats and all the gear you earned while leveling) Pvp, new hardmode instances, raids, mini games, SOMETHING!!!

But the only ones sadly whom will read this are the players and we have been telling you this for far too long.


/end rant
/flameon fanboi's you know you want to.

There is Pvp, hardmode instances, raids and minigames. But your problem seems to be that you consume so much content that I don't think BioWare can ever satisfy you.

I suppose the leveling bonuses are nice, however my problem is that I have already played the game through several times, and I feel the planets are turning into pretty boring places.

Not to mention that too many of the legacy perks require large amounts of money which means in turn MORE grinding of daily missions in a game thats already feeling pretty boring. Im not happy in the direction things are advancing.

I feel SWTOR is turning into a japanese Grindathon.


ps. Id love to see more lower level planetary pvp areas. Low level pvp is enjoyable, lvl 50 pvp not so. (thanks to expertise which should imo be removed from the game, but we all know the chances of that happening so)

I lolled so hard

but seriously the costs are too high per alt.
