This sums it up... the whole implementation of these items looks like it hasnt been thought through.

Why on earth would one spend so many comms, to buy an item that their alt is going to use from say lvl 14 to 17 only? when at that level it makes so little difference anyway? And the higher level one you get when you mostly have orange armor anyway? Totally out of proportion! It appears like the cost of the item that would level with you, but the item doesn't.

Maybe 2 different teams worked on it and didnt talk to each other?
The question is: can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out.(battlebug 2011)

how many alts of the same class on the same server are you likely to have on average?
imo, not many... in most cases

To me, this just sums up how counter-productive this BW team is. Im sure they spent, oh say, 2 days developing this "legacy inheritance" system. It seems to be completely pointless and I'm not even going to waste my time traveling to coruscant to redeem them. This wasted time could have been better spent fixing the ranked warzones they promised us in 1.2...

You should not redeem the Kit on your main character, as you'll receive an item for that character's class.
The item is worthless and will give my alts orange fully moddabe gear, not some POS replaceable in a couple levels, that items isn't worth the trip to turnin and still sitting in my bank, will be vendor trashed or trashed if I need the space

Personally I get that this isn't some revolutionary great reward we will all play for hours to get. It pops up as you progress and you don't "need" to have it or use it. It isn't of lasting value. Now, if you were trying out a feeler into what legacy may become, wouldn't you start the same way?

If they gave us some epic all lasting item, ppl would wail about being at a disadvantage if they didn't do the whole"alt" thing etc etc. This way, they get to feel about a bit first and then as a another posted said, consider bringing in more legacy items through ops etc in the future that may be more rewarding. To me it doesn't make sense to have a massive advantage of a toons "career" weapon just because you are leveling a new toon. But maybe it is me who is missing the point.

Where do you get the construction kits for the other pieces of armour? I sent the weapon one to one of my (baby) alts (except she already had better than what was on offer), and noticed that you can get other stuff from the vendors if you have the right construction kits. Except I have no idea where you get those kits from.

Did I miss something on the forum/website?

Well if you don't have alts then why would you even care about the Legacy system in the first place? lol

Sure you can play the game with one character only but your legacy level would increase very slowly which is why they gave the option to buy legacy unlockables for people who don't care for alts. What people are peeved about is that this was BW's biggest selling point and the effort to get one or more characters at a certain level to unlock new races for classes or the legacy itself isn't worth the rewards they allow you to get. You play a character from 1 to 30-40 (whenever legacy gets unlocked) and expect to get an item that will help you level your alt. Then you realize a fully modified weapon/armor piece would last longer than this new "legacy item" since you can get mods from commendations or craft them yourself.

So really whats the point in it?

OH my goodness people. This is not WoW. Give it up already. There are not heirlooms. You can already get gear that you can constantly modify to make it better. The Heirloom system nerfed WoW and made leveling BORING. I got this lightsaber at 14 for my Sage, and it lasted her till about 22 when I found some nice upgrades for it. It's a piece of gear with purple stats. That you get for a level 14, for free. And you're whining, because it's not good enough, and it's not like how it is in WoW? WoW is making a panda expansion, obviously they have poor judgement.

So then you agree that these things are worthless..... orange/purple moddable gear trumps legacy gear.

I too at first thought that these legacy items level with your alts. It is worthless as it stands since you just zip through lower levels in matter of hours.

Waste of resources if you ask me BW.
