Cartel Market Idea: Instant Level Cap Granted

It's a good idea. Other games have offered this before, where you can create a toon at 80% of the level cap after you have leveled one the old fashioned way. It's even been given for free, but of course that was long before the rise of the omnipresent cash shop business model.

They likely would make it only boost you to level 48 or 50, not to the actual level cap. So you still have a bit of work to do to cap out, and of course you still need to run all of your class stories to get companions unlocked, and then there is the gear grind as well.

It also probably would require a legacy a little higher than 2. Legacy 10 might be reasonable, or maybe 20 at the most. If Bioware actually did this, they would probably follow the "Treek Model" and make it a 5 million credit unlock if you have reached Legacy 20, or an unlock you could buy at any legacy level using CC, so long as you have at least one character of max level in any class.

The legacy XP character perks are also an awesome idea. Even if they only went as high as 200% they would be huge money makers, and welcome relief for those who just can't stand the thought of doing those damn dreary planets even one more time.

If this was available, I have at least two toons currently languishing in the mid-twenties that I would buy either the level boost or a 200% or better character XP perk for immediately.

They could offer it at 10,000,000 credits in game, requiring Legacy Level 50; or
You can buy it on the Cartel Market with no Legacy requirements.

/sarcasm off

The problem you will get will be what happened with eBay WOW characters - max level toons with a player who has absolutely no idea of the class mechanics.

I'd buy it.

tbh..i would too.

I'd love and would pay CC to beable to replay Class stories for a couple of classes, one being my Agent.

If you think the backslash from Treek was big, just try adding a feature like this and see what happens. Bioware is desperate but I don't think they're that desperate yet. If they ever give something like this to us that would be tantamount to saying "we've given up on subs entirely and the game is going pay-2-win". Just watch the drop in subs if this is ever implemented.

Like I said in the other thread, leveling is there to teach you how to play your class. You'd be useless with an instant 55 character because you'd have no gear and no idea how to play that class, therefore just a burden on whoever you're teaming up with for flashpoints, operations and pvp.

Selling neat gear packs on the CM to help insta-55 characters is just one small step away from this. Also, I don't understand what your personal interest is in this. You've repeatedly said that your tight schedule prevents you from engaging in any type of endgame content (dailies, flashpoints, ops, pvp). Why pay for something that you will never end up using or is it your intention to drive subscribers away and see the game go full P2W and fail?

I think the last DXP Weekend of the summer happens either right before the PVP patch, or during.

Will you please stop with the damn name calling? I don't care if you don't like PvE or the players who do PvE but seriously stop derailing the thread by calling people out, calling them carebears or drones. You like the suggestion that's great support it but leave it at that.

I made a follow-up to these posts a few days later. You can read it here.



I'll still be using the terms "carebear" and "Biodrone", but only when I see it's necessary and when I see fit. I'm just sick of most of the players saying stuff like "this is a PvE centered game with PvP just being a mini-game", and stuff related to that. The bashing towards PvP does need to stop by those that are focused on mainly PvE'ing. It's just real annoying that most of the PvE'ers on these forums cannot say anything about PvP'ers and the play style without first bashing them both critically.

The PvP'ers just want more attention from EAware, because truth be told, we've been getting shafted more and more since the release of 2.0. We really deserve a lot of what we've been asking from them since RotHC was launched.

What PvP patch? The only PvP content I know of is coming in 2.4 in late September or early October. Did I miss the memo somewhere?
