Wow, so disappointed BioWare.

Legacy *character* Perks. = FAIL (seriously why bother putting it in the legacy system at all when it's only affects one character not the legacy?)
If they were legacy wide I'd consider the prices a little more reasonable. Even the suggestion (I thouroughly apologize for forgetting yer name but it earlier in this thread) of tripling the cost to add it legacy wide would be acceptable. Then the players that only play 1 or 2 characters don't have to pay the price to unlock it for a bunch of them they have no intention of playing. While not goat *tapping* the players that play alot of alts by forcing even more grind or *buck off*.
Server Legacy vs. Account Legacy. (again, kinda obvious there)
Aside from the two comments I saw here, just mention Dual-Spec in passing in general (fleet or any planet) and see the unanimous roar of aproval. As things stand now they're already telling ya yer gonna have to pay respec fees if ya want to join the group anyway cause yer just not the spec they're looking for.

Also for those deluded individuals THIS IS BIOWARES SECOND MMO NOT FIRST. They took over sole managment of Warhammer Online like 2 years prior to starting SWTOR I believe (not certain on number of actual years off the top). This is NOT their first rodeo here folks. Please stop trying to say it's OK that we're paying money NOT to be listened to because this particular game of theirs just got released. Completely forgetting that there was a long term of BETA testing before it was even released. (which they actually responded to forum posts back then with a *Why such and such is happening* or a simple acknowledgment of notice.

I was soo excited about hearing there would be more legacy perks to increase the speed of affection and levels. Not so much now. I'm one of those Collectors Edition pre-order people that bought a 6 month sub JUST on the name BioWare. Horrible timing to release this crap BioWare. I was about to renew my sub. After seeing how much yer *supposed bosting* actually paying attention to the community is really working out. I just cancelled my renewment. That makes the last of the people I know IRL giving up on the game. Might come back in a year and see if ya got yer head screwed on yet about majority community needs and desires. But I know I won't do it with more then a single months sub. Game just seems to be going farther down from current MMO quality choices out there.

on a side note, AWSOME job on the introduction of adaptive social gear.

Man...I should have double checked this. I thought they were Legacy Wide too. Spent 250k earlier unlocking a ton of XP perks on my LVL 50.

Way to bunghole up the idea of legacy. Should have made it a separate system just called perk system

Canceled my sub so I will not be renewing at the end of this month. Friends at work today said they will be doing the same thing. I will also tell others not to sub or even try out this game. No matter what they do from here I will not be subbing again.

They are per character because the really don't cost THAT much.

I don't want to grind dailies all the time either, but come on....these perks don't cost much. And all you need to do is apply individual perks to the characters you want.

Why would a 50 need the +exp bonus right now :X

Get to max level, run some dailies/use the GF for FPs and you'll easily have enough credits to buy perks for your next alt(s).
Agreed. It's a little edge. Legacy wide would be broken.

Speaking of XP Perks for level 50s, do the bonuses apply towards Legacy XP for level 50 characters?

I was wondering the same thing if that is the case then it might actually be worth it for your 50's.

Otherwise to the butthurt individuals grind a few daily's and use a little thing called mail and send your alts money that the butthurt ones have so much of... or hell re-roll and be the first to get to 50 with all the cool new perks you just bought once you get to your first mailbox..... i dunno quit whining this game is still in its baby stages..... Just because blizzard did something great at first and then screwed it up later doesnt mean that this game couldnt be better than it is now.... just a thought....

Thing I find is the perks don't target particularly useful things. Overall- the values should be more, 30% is fine and all but people on their 3rd, 4th, etc... characters find the process extremely dull. Another suggestion would be have ACTUAL legacy unlocks- that unlock just from legacy. I'd suggest- every legacy level you have gives you a 1% bonus to all xp gained, no credit cost involved.

-Class missions- that's a very expensive boost that's only useful for, what, 3 quests per planet? Where's the 'quest XP' perk that just gives all quests a bonus? I'd have much rather had this one apply to all quests- even if it meant costing double the credits.

-Space combat- does this apply only to running the space combat, or to the daily missions as well? If it applies to both, this is absolutely one of the ones I will get, as I like space and would have no problem having one of my characters that I log onto each day just to do some space

-PvP- this one's definitely a good one, though frankly xp from pvp is too low to begin with BUT, this does give people a bit more viability to level off WZ.

-Flashpoint - this I think is perhaps the best perk of the lot- if you like doing FPs, and with the new dungeon finder, this will make a mode of xp gain that's already very good even better

-Exploration- this one... kind pointless imo, but it's cheap at least. You don't get that much xp from exploration to begin with

All in all though- why character specific? Double or even triple the price, but make it apply to all characters- this is supposed to be a LEGACY system after all, it's supposed to apply to everyone.

Oh well, in the end it's only a mild solution to the problem that levelling isn't as much fun on the 3rd+ character.

I guess they'd be happy to pay 3Mil credits to unlock the level 10 speeder for all their characters when 5 of them already have speeders. Or Perhaps 2Mil credits for warzone XP bonus when they only intend for one character they got to really be leveling through PvP.

That would be oh so AWESOME!
