Quick question on this. From looking at the screen shot with the reputation it seems you can only up your Gree reputation by doing Ilum missions in the shelf. I would think the Coruscant missions or at the very least completing TFB would also raise your reputation. Here's hoping they add TFB in at least.

Advance your character with the new Galactic Reputation system! The Galactic Reputation system lets you earn Reputation points by completing missions for factions such as the Gree or the Voss, or for military divisions within the Republic and the Empire. This new system advances characters through six ranks of increasing prestige: “Outsider”, "Newcomer", "Friend", "Hero", "Champion", and "Legend". Galactic Reputation is also tied to a character’s Legacy, so Reputation points and ranks are shared across all the characters within the same Legacy!

I'm guessing if anything like WoW does it and it looks like it will each planet will sooner or later have it own rep to grind . by what they said ^

I really hope it doesn't turn out like that. That's the major reason I got bored with WoW and quit.

This would create an inbalance as Empire has no Gree quests, unless they get a quest line in 1.7 which I can't see they will.

well the read on that link looks just like it is in wow with ranks etc so get ready I never minded it , kind of liked it .. what we should ask is are they kinda make it more fun then WoW did ? that can happen ...


I quit WoW not because of what they did or boredom so much just needed a new look not old , WoW is just to me not so much boring etc just got old and out dated in a way to me , I still play it but noting like I like used to ..

If it's :

Take up and defend a position in open world pvp to enter an instanced PvE area and defeat a boss for great rewards.

I say bring it on!

If it's :

Mobs and bosses randomly pop in an open pvp area. It's just going to be a gank fest with the faction that as the highest population taking all the benefits. Wasn't that the problem of Ilum in the first place? 80+ Imps against 10 or so reps?

If that's the case, no thanks. I tasted enough of that crap.

I am intrigued by the reputation system however. What perks does it actualy give aside from cheesy titles?

Prolly this Tuesday coming , this is suppose to be released this month the ILUM update and event I remember back in Sept I think it was after TFB was out they said ILUM would be update in JAN 2013 so some time this month it may go live with some PTS testing ... that will prolly start Tuesday on the PTS and then by FEB we see it live ..can't wait ..

IF its like WOW epic gear weak but kind good starter gear , mounts ,pets , armor . mods , more custom gear etc ... What else can they give , may be cartel points for coins to subers only but don't count on it ..

Most of the WoW faction grinding was pve in a PVP zone after our side had control like in Cata I forget the name of it . it seemed to work well .. not much ganking went on unless you were helping fight for control, that I remember .
