Fallensbane Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Getting to level 50 will unlock that character's race for all classes you create thereafter, bypassing the regular class and race restrictions. Originally looking forward to this quite a bit, until IGN posted their preview and this is apparently how its going to work. I skipped playing certain races because I wanted to have a nice mix on my characters. I really do not want to have to just grind out another 50, roll character race I want on republic then just delete the 50, its a waste of my time and not a worthwhile way to go about this. We have already sat around with useless legacy levels since launch. Why wasn't it just completely unlocked via legacy levels? Like say you unlock 1 legacy race of your choice to use on any class every 5-10 levels? I do realize that they also mentioned the ability to 'buy' certain legacy reward unlocks via in-game currency... which once again, just makes me wonder what the point of even linking these to legacy levels is?

Vasdrakken Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It was mentioned some where that you could also pay in game money to unlock them but that you might have to have a lvl 50 char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walfredo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) It should also be mentioned that by the time any of this hits the game, most people will probably have 4-5+ alts at level 20+!!! Great job dropping the ball BioWare!! Edited March 5, 2012 by Walfredo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallywaffles Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Like the OP I want variety in my characters. I'd like to make a Sith Jedi or Mirialan Marauder, but since I was planning to make one later I don't have any Sith (race) characters. If the above is true (purchasing to unlock), that would be nice. Also what about for those of us who chose a "common" race? I hope there is some benefit for those. My main is a Zabrak, which can already be any class (same goes for Humans).

TethZayin Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Question will this be restricted to the server you buy or unlock them on ? Edited March 5, 2012 by TethZayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceb Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It should also be mentioned that by the time any of this hits the game, most people will probably have 4-5+ alts at level 20+!!! Great job dropping the ball BioWare!! I have three 50's already and working on the fourth, my concern is will I have to delete my alts and reroll them to take advantage of my lvl 32 legacy lvl.

Kasukua Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 this wont be the only option available concerning legacy, it is a nice plus, tho. And adding a completely new race is a huge patch altogether. New back story, possibly starting world, etc... don't expect your existing alts to be rendered useless or stale, as this is a huge concern for BW I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathfish Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They defiantly need to implement an option to alter characters already created since it is their fault for the delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoku Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) To get this clear, so I have a level 50 Zabrak, I need a level 50 sith pureblood to have a sith pureblood sniper? really? So I actually have to grind out a pureblood inquisitor or something to get it? ugh this is going to be annoying. Paying to unlock races? really? :/ microtransactions though .. I make my equipment judge my alignment, I also make my alignment judge my choices in the story and now I'm making races judge wat i want on certain classes? come on bioware. I'm not payin extra money 15 bucks a month is alot, crappy engine, It's not worth money just to unlock a race. Also Link pls.

Nikolei Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They defiantly need to implement an option to alter characters already created since it is their fault for the delay "Oh, you want to race change your zabrak SI into a twi'lek? THAT'LL BE FOURTY-FIVE DOLLARS THANK YOU VERY MUCH" The saddest part is that there would be so many suckers who'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeywool Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You can either level a species to 50 to unlock it, or pay IN GAME credits to unlock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaoogaa Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Wow, if this is how they plan to implement the legacy races I am sad. No, actually I will be pissed. I don't give a crap about the races already in...I guess I would be ok with some of the sith specific races being able to be made on republic but I am not going to level an imp AND spend legacy points just to have access. If I wanted to actually play one of the rep races I would have made that race already. This is the ONLY legacy information I was excited about. Another possible homerun that is fail. edit - I might spend credits but it all depends on how much they plan to screw the average players over.

DrWhorible Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So 2 questions (I didn't get to watch the stream, homework sucks). Does this mean I can/have to level a Chiss whatever, then I can create a Chiss SI or SW? I'd be really annoyed at the grind involved, wondering how much/if it can be bought as well. Anyone know/watch the stream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthyrag Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I agree with the original poster. I made one of every class and got them all 20 and higher. So now if I want a rattakki jedi I have to wipe a decent lvl character because there are no slots? I just don't understand why they couldn't say this before they went live. At least to me that would have made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumption on your part =/= dropped ball on Biowares part. Besides, it was pretty clear in a number of thread here for the last 6 weeks that the logical outcome from Legacy would be new character rolls.
