Legacy Perks in Game Update 1.3

Price list: http://dulfy.net/2012/06/06/patch-1-...aracter-perks/

The prices in the link have all the latest prices on the PTS, the official screenshots are actually outdated. In some cases like the companion categories, the prices have being lowered significantly on the PTS.

I've got to agree with much of the criticism in this thread. Legacy is a great idea....that you just don't seem to be able to execute.

Let me explain one player's perspective (i.e., mine): I've got 3 alts, all Republic (including one 50). I've seen or will see most of your planetary, non-class quest content three times when I'm done with these characters. Sure, I enjoyed much of it the first time, maybe the second time, but now I'm sick of it, and will not roll any more Republic alts.

Solution! Legacy perks providing an XP bonus for my next Republic alt so that I can primarily level through the game on class-quests only! I can now play through the game on content that is brand new to me (i.e., class quests for classes I have not played). However, at the apparent costs for these perks and the amount of XP bonus I'll have to grind out content elsewhere in order to get enough money to do this, and when I do, the XP bonus still won't be enough to keep me from having to do a significant volume of non-class quests. Therefore, rather than do stale content a 4th time, I will move on to greener pastures.

I'm not nerdraging: without Legacy at all, I would be moving on anyway due to my inabiilty to stomache the repeat content. But with Legacy perks, you were so closing to incentivizing me to roll that 4th alt and continue to play this game. Do yourselves a favor and start listening to your customers regarding the Legacy system. Right now it's just a great idea that another game will implement successfully one day....

Cheers

Legacy Perks need to be free or under 100k. Somewhere in that range per perk.

I wont buy speeder II. You think I will buy email convenience for 1 million?

I find it an absolute nothing addition. I think that invested developer time in stuff that should just be free should be considered as a this is what my 14.99 a month bought me in development? I would think that would buy a new warzone or flashpoint a month. You could then start maybe retiring ones that are stale. I personally think Alderaan Civil War is the one to go first. Maybe you could do a new "huttball" type arena. Different traps. Different maze. Maybe you can kick the ball. Maybe a new HM flashpoint. How about adding vehicles you can use in a warzone? You know speeders and walkers. Maybe you could include protecting and destroying the enemies defensive and offensive lines. Even if I cannot man the turrets. How great would that be though. The HM where you get to use the turret against the mob might be my favorite part of the game because you engaged differently.

Development needs to advance the core games features. Not add in absolute pure credit syncs to have people re-level characters. More content please.

Things that you gave us:
You can check your ingame email anytime.
You can level faster how you like to level.
You can get from point a to point b faster.
You can fix your stuff without going to city.
You can sell your stuff instantly.

Those features are not what I expect out of my sub fees.

Yet another reason why my legacy perks remain untouched. These new features especially the ones that are not legacy wide! Will also remain untouched.


Delete legacy and focus on content thanks bioware. Legacy is fail and you are spending far too much time developing it.

Well, very nice, but what about dual spec? Why keep us paying for respec if you don't want to implement dual?
That's a major flaw in this game. Please address this.

i agree

agreed , i am having fun in the game. i wouldnt play it if it was pure MMO, than its just another everquest

I didn't know till buying all on my 50 that it was bound to that character only and not shared with all on server like the legacy stuff before it... This to me makes the legacy system seem crappy if it has to be bought for every single new character and makes it less when you have mostly 50s... Please change it to bound to legacy and not single character!

If one runs all the space missions and complete the bonus space missions one can get over 100K every day.
If one runs all of the dailies on Ilum, Belsavis, and Corelia one can get around 250K.
That is about 350K per day of full dailies completed.
This is not counting grey junk item sales and green-quality items to sell.

I hope that in one month you can play more than ten days and on those days that you do play you can rack up all the dailies. Best of luck!

It's extremely disappointed that my legacy points aren't account wide. I joined a friend to play the other faction on some_other_server and all of those lovely perks go poof. No thanks. My frustration builds. We're talking about starting over on even terms and I'm excited by that...in another game.

From your standpoint, you're thinking "No good deed goes unpunished" from mine I'm thinking, "I've grinded this once, I won't do it again". They're all excited as their abilties unlock...and I don't blame them.
