Really 2 days notice?! I figured at least a weeks notice and that would be on a normal maitnance Tuesday like next week not in 2 days well looks like I'm not getting that pvp speeder ha so close would have had it if I had the coming weekend like I had planned on. Oh well time to make my alts for the white lightsabers before their gone.

Yeah I'm hopeful that it will be sooner rather than later, I'm sure it will happen and it will most likely be cheaper by waiting. Rather than spending the 2.5 mil however if they would leave the store open for one day or till the next patch I would blow the credits fast on the new legacy alt.

I understand, I'm only saying this because I would like to have a Miraluka Sith Assassin but I won't be able to get the alt until after the Legacy system happens. Which I would rather spend the 2.5 or 1 mil on the alt I want to make rather than a random force alt just to have the lightsaber, by doing exactly what you just described. I'd rather level up a character I want to make rather than have a random alt just to carry a white lightsaber which isnt worth the million credits. If that makes any sense, I only have blaster wielding toons at the moment so this is why I am saying this. I've waited for the ability to make new race combinations before making a sith toon.

Luckily for me I got an upgrade disc of windows for $10 at my college and they showed me how to use a windows 7 upgrade disc to get a legal full version to set up my bootcamp. So thankfully paying an arm and a leg for school payed off and saved me some money and allowed me to play swtor instead of doing my assignments thank you UC.

Does anyone else have issues using grapple in pvp warezones where the ability is used and put on cooldown but it doesn't work the way it should as in not at all. I know there are some immunity abilities but I don't see why grapple should fail me numerous times in warezones.

Well that would be fine with me and I wouldn't care if they didn't come back because I will make sure to have one before patch 1.2. As to not everything catering to alts I just see it as insufficient timing because when 1.2 hits people are going to role new alts if they haven't to test out the legacy system. So it seems a little contradictory making stuff unavailable to the new alts right when the system is finally put into place. The whole system is to keep people playing and paying for as long as possible. However, I'm sure more rare crystals will be available later.

That would be so much fun lol if they did something like this for the characters main of the legacy. Or some case for sith you kill a bunch of force sensitives but keep one infant as your apprentice or servant. So much story potential here for fun and it could break non alt players into making at least one alt.

I would agree with you but why should anyone have to level up an alt to unlock a race for a new alt. It just takes up space so hypothetically if you wanted very advanced class imperial side you could not make the race combo without having to make a republic toon. Which is a lot of investment just for one race unlock and it really only benefits people that choose a cross faction race. I'm guessing people will rather spend the exp or legacy points on an unlock rather than leveling a toon to lvl 50.

I hope that this is true but I'm also a bit confused on the payment system guess we'll have to wait another month.

On a side note besides the Republic/Imperial pvp speeders that are going away is there currently any other faction only speeders? Just wondering since that is the only one I know of, and I recall in a prelaunch video a dev stating that it was possible to obtain other faction speeders which I don't see how this is possible in game but maybe if you were to buy an extra pvp speeder you could send it to you legacy alt in the future?

Well then yes I would have decided to role a Miraluka even though I only wanted to play Imperial. This sucks ha would not have rolled out with common race characters such as humans and cyborgs that gain no benefit from this set up. Why can't I "adopt" an alien orphan baby into my family lol

Can someone explain how you unlock the races for future alts? Do you have to level the race to 50 before you can make lets say a miraluka sith inquisitor? I'm just a bit confused and if so yes I probably would have, however if this is how you unlock races I am wondering what happens if you delete an alt? And how that would disrupt any race choices.

I realize that but its still a bit disheartening when you read the following: "With no new shipments expected for several months, those wealthy enough to afford these crystals may find themselves in possession of a highly sought-after collectable." Makes you wonder when they will be back? Thought I read some dev say they may not be back but I'm assuming thats to entice ppl to empty there piggy banks.

I understand trying to keep the white crystals rare with the huge price tag, and using them to try and flush the economy clean, but since they are bop that really puts people in a bind either this needs to be changed or they should keep the vendor for idk maybe an extra week after patch 1.2 so that the legacy alts can receive the white crystals. For myself I would like to have an imperial Miraluka Assasin wielding a double bladed white lightsaber. But by making the item bop I'm not able to make that combination possible. They are limiting the items from these cool alt combinations that they want people to play as. The only reason this bothers me is because Silver is my favorite color and white is the closest I'm going to get for a long time if ever in this game and I find it rather pointless having white blaster fire I'd rather have it in a lightsaber. I have waited to make my force users for the sole purpose of the new race combinations in the legacy system. I guess if this doesn't change I will have to make a Miraluka on the republic side and make it my only republic alt on my server. I just wish the developers would take this into consideration when making these types of limitations. Overall though I like where the game is going but I just thought I would point this out. I'm not 100% sure how the Legacy system will work since I missed the guild summit, but I really wish the white crystals would not just disappear as soon as the cool legacy system options finally get implemented. At least this will only effect legacy alts from having white crystals, and not a bunch of other items.

But overall I'm pleased with what the developers are trying to accomplish.

I was wondering the same thing, kind of curious what happens at the end of chaper one, if you pick a different dark side choice over the other. Not going to spoil anything though, anyone whose played that part should know whatim talking about.

I have a hybrid heal/lethality spec, it's an interesting combination. I get TA from probes which is nice but overall it could be better and use some tweaking. My best ability gained from lethality maxes out at Cull. I would like it if imperial brew was in lethality or included corrosive grenade buff. I'll post a Link to my build later, it's not working at the moment. The build is 18/0/23 though if anyone feels like trying something similar.

This is crap I should not have to choose to wait to play a game at launch or start over and make new characters in order to play when all my friends are on the full server. If this doesn't get fixed, I will not be paying for a subscripion. Unless that subscription changes to paying for the amount of in game time that I'm actually playing and not waiting.
