You realize if there are multiple ways to get one of the new pets you were just told how to get one of them right? Why are you arguing with a dude that figured a way to get one? He never said it was the only way and let all of us know he figured it out. Relax.

Dear BioWare, I LOVE the new update. It's great. Granted, it is a bunch of stuff that should have been in on Day 1, but it's in now, and that is all that matters. I could go on and on about all the stuff that I like. The color options for armor, movable windows, legacy skills, the reverse engineering changes etc. My qualms are few and here they are: The prices on the Legacy Features. I am Legacy Level 27 now and I worked very hard to get here. The only reward I have at this tier is something that is going to cost me 5 million credits. At that point it doesn't feel like a reward. It feels like a money sink that you have to earn. At that price why was it decided that level 25 was what needed to happen to acquire it? The counter to that for me is that I was just going to use it to give items to cross faction characters and with the new mailing system I don't have to. It's more a moot point now because of the cross faction mailing thing, but something I wanted to be explained nonetheless. The other thing I take issue with is the pricing of the legacy armor. Why does low level armor cost so much? Why are the stats middling at those prices? Am I missing something? If a dev could pop in here and chime in it would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you so much for the AMAZING update. I am having more fun now than I did when I started and I have been having a great time since I started playing.

I would think it would be for both as they would probably add retroactive romance options. Off topic: I would hate to see it in the game from a lore stand point. There has never been a gay character in Star Wars. Adding it in would be gratuitous. That galaxy has TONS of lore in it and none of it ever has contained homosexual relationships. The galaxy far, far, away doesn't need imo. Also, it's just a cookie cutter thing that is in every BW game like DA and ME. Why put it in this one? break the mold with this one and go away from the norm especially since the lore doesn't have it at all.

Legacy 27. I just hope I have most of the things unlocked.

Load times are totally an issue with this game. My guild which has been playing various MMO's together since 2007 all have different specced machines ranging from low end to high end and all of us have long load times on certain planets like Alderaan. Some planets take less time relatively, but still take a while. I don't think throwing RAM on your computer will help significantly. Don't SSD drives help with load times though> The biggest help would be for BW to optimize the stuff on their end though. This game is far from perfect on BW's end as it pertains to load times.

It's a busted system. Gear customization is at its core, a fundamental RPG thing. Why make us pay out the nose to have the stats and look we want? I have never seen this in another MMO. LOTRO actually lets you equip pieces of armor in cosmetic slots. You have a set you wear for rating and a set you wear that is shown cosmetically. You have a toggle that lets you equip two cosmetic slots for full sets of armor for free plus the set you are wearing. Guild Wars 2 is using a system where you can purchase items to take the stats of a piece of gear and transfer it to another piece of gear. The items you get in that game are significantly cheaper than in this game. I really don't know why BW wants to tax the community in this game so steeply. I would understand it if I was able to pull mods off of armor and then sell the armor afterwards on the GTN, but at that point, the armor is bound to me and can only be merched. One of these things needs to change.

I would really like a complex description of what James means by "Capital Ship Battles". What are they? What would be in them? How many people are involved? It's hard to vote for something when you don't know what it is.

I think the larger problem is the lore and mechanics of it. Our accounts are tied to a Legacy and they are family members and friends etc. come 1.2. We should be able to mail these characters. Trying to say my Smuggler who is the son of my Agent, but can't mail items to a family member is ludicrous. Same goes for trade network. Add one to every major city and make all trade networks faction free.

Cross server match making should be implemented before they start this system. I can't stand when things get released before they are ready. This system should have been in place on day 1.

guys! this is real! i looked in the .exe files from the future and it's all in there. also, i found that they invented a way to keep people from trolling on the forums too. the only lame part is that i saw the forums in the future once 1.2 was implemented and there are no posts on the forums at all.

having to get to Legacy Level 25 and then spend millions of credits to unlock the Neutral market just so I can trade items cross faction with characters that can be family members is ludicrous. Just make all of the markets "Galactic" and cross faction like the Hutt Cartel and add them to every main city on every planet and actually do a service for your players.

i play for the story lines. sure, i do HM FP's, but i am not a gear grinder. i like that they are adding dailies with 136 rated pieces for corellia. i will do that on one character so i can see some of the new content, but i am perfectly content just seeing the story lines. also, why is no one here that is complaining about the new tier of gear, not also GUSHING about how cool it is that we can just do the class quests in 1.2? they are adding a feature to allow us to ONLY have to do the story content for a character and i see no one absolutely thrilled about this. it's too bad this community as a whole is pretty cynical and jaded. go play another game if you can't be just as open about the good as you are about the bad.

Not all people like raids. not all people like daily quests. this offers top end gear for all people. should only daily comm grinders get top end gear? should only raiders get top end statted gear? if you answered yes to one of those questions, you are wrong.

Good discussion in here. It's really too bad that the Legacy system wasn't implemented Day 1. It really should have been. Sometimes game mechanics trump lore. I think it's the way it should be. I don't want lore hindering what can make for fun in-game options. Sometimes, I want the lore to be rigid as well. With game mechanics though, I often ignore lore, because if I didn't, I would see the glaring contradictions that exist in this game. There are many, but I forgive it, because it's a game.

Hey all. In the video for 1.2 it shows that you can get drops of armor etc. that are Legacy drops. Armor that you can give to characters in your Legacy. One of the devs talked about giving that armor from one character on the Imperial side to another character on the Imperial side, but the Legacy family tree is NOT limited to the same faction. Will we be able to mail items to characters that are in a different faction, but are related? i.e. my Smuggler is the father of my Bounty Hunter? If so, then great. That would make sense. If not, then why the heck allow ALL of our characters regardless of faction to our family tree? If they can never interact beyond gaining a few traits from each other, it seems a pretty pointless system. Bounty Hunter son, "Hey Dad, I am a little short on credits this month and I heard you had a pretty great Kessel Run last week. Can you send me a few creds?" Smuggler Father, "Sorry son, we are in different factions except for the fact that I don't really care about the Republic, but for some reason it won't let me mail you anything. Weird. Oh well, back to smuggling stuff." Thoughts?

This is a great illustration of what happens to some(not all) of the bonus quests. There is a bonus for a daily 2+ heroic on the Imp side of Belsavis where you are charged with killing 30 droids and there are only 23 in the instance. It is also one of those instances where the enemies don't respawn ever. This bug has nothing to do with what the OP is talking about, but if you kill the Jedi for the main objective of the heroic, the same thing happens to the bonus. It just disappears.

really? no opinions on the matter?

I have been thinking about what could be done with all of this Legacy stuff. Legacy is cross faction. My characters share history and a name. Why not let me add cross faction characters to my friends list? It would be nice to be able to mail credits/items/misc. to my characters that share my name per server. I think a friends list, cross faction, mailing system, or a Legacy cross faction mailing system would be a nice addition. A cross faction friends list would be especially nice for seeing if we have friends online that are playing on the opposite faction. So many times I have logged in either Imp or Pub side only to realize later that a friend and I have both been on but couldn't tell because we were on opposite sides. Where my friends in gaming are concerned, I would like to know if they are on.

^this. limiting cross faction trade in a game but still offering it and it being inconvenient is a burden. just make one network. i am almost legacy 25 and will get that cross faction market on my ship, but how many people are actually gonna hit legacy 25 before they quit this game? I don't think many are.

Yes and no. Isn't there a new tier of armor coming out as well? That may be better. Also, are any of the set bonuses worth it on other sets that may outweigh augments? I am sure that some bonuses may be bad for some classes, but there have to be some on some sets that people see as essential. Orange critted gear gets my vote though as you can't say enough for actually liking the set you are wearing.

I see enough people on these forums say they have frame rate issues when opening up inventory and UI etc to know there is an issue and it isn't related to their rig. I also see enough of the opposite, where people say they don't have any issues. Conclusion: Some people have issues and some do not, regardless of rig type/class/specs. Hopefully BW can get it sorted. The people I see that run this game terribly but run other games flawlessly have valid complaints. Just because your rig runs it great doesn't mean it is on their end. There is a problem with the engine.

I see the BMN being used by people that play Imp and Pub characters to transfer items cross-faction. This kind of accesibility(sans going to Nar Shaddaa) should be available in every major town, on every major planet, regardless. Limiting the market, or trading between two characters on the account you pay for is lame. I have a suggestion for the Legacy system: Adding opposite faction players to friends list for PM's and mail. Use? Letting us trade with friends and PM friends and also to know they are online when we have guilds in both factions. It has happened to me more times than I can count that I don't know a guild mate is on because they are on the Imp side when I am playing Pub side or vice versa. This would also let us mail items to players on the other side, IF they are on our friends list. It would let us send credits to each other as well or to our cross faction characters that happen to be on THE SAME ACCOUNT. I pay for the account. I want my characters to be able to all trade with each other regardless of faction. This is already do-able on Nar Shaddaa, but it should be made simpler to do for convenience in the Legacy System. I don't even care if it's Rank 30+. Just make it happen.

my theory: everyone is cool with sitting around chatting in their first MMO. it's new and exciting. you don't really need a reason to hang out. you get to your 4th or 5th or 10th mmo and that excitement is long gone. you turn into a black hole whose appetite can't be sated. then the QQ starts. take a few months off and play some other games. come back later. i am not bored with the game at all. i am bored with these forums. later.

A stat like expertise is akin to steroids for football players. there is a reason in sports (NFL, EPL, Olympics, MLB etc.) that steroids and PED's are banned from competition at the highest levels and even collegiate and high school levels? Why? Because it is an uneven playing field. Giving people an advantage in competition isn't fair competition. Period. Get rid of expertise altogether. I have never understood why things like this are in games. It's completely backwards. How can I even talk trash as a PvP'er with Expertise over a player without it. It's not a fair fight.

There is a game that pits CoD against BF3? Did the bugs keep the BF3 fans from winning the match? What is the name of the game that has CoD against BF3? If you play a game only to see it sell more units than another game, you are doing it wrong. On topic: I am glad they are finally addressing some of the littany of things wrong with the game. A bunch of these are things that should have been in the game on day 1. You can't release an MMO in 2011/2012 and have as shallow a Trade Network/guild options/UI issues etc. The GTN and the guild options especially. It's one of the worst auction houses i have ever seen. The guild options are laughable. Hope they make good on their promises and soon. This game is becoming a placeholder for me until Guild Wars 2.
