Honest Question, what legacy perks have you bought?

My opinion is that most (+90%) of the legacy perks are useless credit sinks. The only perks I have bought were on my alts to get the speeder earlier. Many of my guildmates have bought the rocket boots, mailbox, and repair droids. I rarely see anything else.

What legacy perks have you bought and why? I wish I could see some metrics as to what legacy perks are most popular but I doubt Bioware will ever release that data.

This is an important question because I believe the Legacy UI is perfectly suited for selling cash shop items. They could use it for that or make a new UI similar to it for that purpose. It also gives Bioware a glimpse as to what "perks" players are willing to pay for. I believe Bioware will track what cash shop items sell best and use that data to funnel dev resources toward similar items in the hopes that players will buy them.


If you want to know where I'm coming from, you can view this thread but it's not essential:

In the excepting of the level 10 mount perk, I only buy the global unlocks. The character-specific perks don't seem worth it imo.

Reduced quick travel, black hole quick travel. That is it, I do not feel *ANYTHING* else that bioware has put or will put into legacy will be worthwhile for me to invest in.

Repair bot on two characters, Black Hole transport on those same two... I'll have to log in and have a check to see if I have anything else, but I don't believe I do.

Level 1 speeder at level 10.

That's it.

I don't see any reason to pay per character for a skill that becomes obsolete by the time you hit level 50. All the experience bonuses for example, are useless to me, I level too fast as it is, and have to actively limit myself in the leveling so that I can hit 50 with 3500 ranked warzone and 2000 regular warzone commissions.

I don't see any reason to buy level 2 or 3 speeders *at all* - they're just too slow - but if I were going to, I'd save myself some cash and buy speeder 3 at level 40.

There are some I'd buy at current prices if they were legacy wide - but since they're not they're not worth buying, even in a cash glutted economy - too many things I'd rather throw money at otherwise.

Overall, the legacy character perks have been for me about 95% fail, which is too bad.

i bought priority transport to courscant for my trooper, and once i start up another after i finish my trooper i will probably buy the level 10 speeder and maybe the higher level speeders since my trooper i'll use him to farm for credits. So i might buy some mod legacy armor.

Other than that...meh.

Pretty much this

Level 10 mount for all relevant characters;
Speed up for companion selling junk (cheap and useful);
Repair/sales bot;
Coruscant/Black Hole transport;

GLOBAL

Mail box
Saving for GTN

I havent bought anything from legacy... maybe a couple in 3 alta..

1st) xp experience when completing class quests.
2nd) mount at 10 level
3rd) repair bot

and thats it.

I would love to buy gtn and main inside my ship... but they sell it for 1.5 - 2 million... I would never give such credits for this... With the token and epic vendors.. Crafting is not that good.. Only mods and armorings.. But from 1.5 even that is nerfed to casuals... so its hard to get credits also.

You have to repeat as a compolsive the dailes to get 110k creds from each area.. Thing that I am not doing as a compolsive.. its boring.. Bioware is listening to the troll raiders and casuals.. ONLY.. The game stops being THAT interesting. Its good to turn into f2p, because I would quit also in a point.. F2p will allow me to maintain my charas and enjoy the expansions in the near feature.. (not the vendors with credit cards and tokens) lol


So there is no point after all.

It's pretty useless. Bought speeder piloting - to allow 'some' of us players to enjoy the game as we all should be. As said in my Definitive Issues thread, we get a superb starship at level 16, but we have to wait to level 25 to get a beater speeder, and our soundtrack for the first 25 levels is basically the "schlop schlop" sounds of our footsteps? Makes no sense. So, if you have alts and boost up the Legacy, you get a solution to the problem, just not on your first time playing, you suffer.

Also the quick travels to home planet and station. Some experience perks, but they're pretty useless. Instead of 15 pts Companion affection, I get 17. Whoop-dee-doo, for all the few times they react during the leveling process - which is the only early pre-endgame phase you actually get some affection.
