I too will post in the open thread that by giving free game time to level 50 players "feels" like BW does not value all of their players equally. I know BW doesn't want "me" stories in their feedback, but in this case, it's relevant and has been echoed by other players. What of the players that played multiple classes, and have multiple characters up to and including into their 40's? What of the Founders? What of all accounts that have been here since day 1? What of the people that leveled up on the Test Server in 1.2 and will earn both titles testing day in and day out? Is their "dedication" or "devotion" any less valid? Why should grinding through the content on a single character be more valid and worthy of more consideration than someone who has been a customer the same amount of time (since day 1) and yet the only factor that matters is a character level? The gifts being given are indeed nice, but to single out for extra reward a smaller segment of the player-base solely based on achieving a level number just does feel distasteful to the others that have played since the start, or put in strong efforts on the PTS.

I was setting up my legacy tree and was at a bit of a loss initially how to manage my multiple jedi characters of different species. The "Child" and "Adopted Child" options, while nice, didn't really appeal to me since Jedi are not "supposed" to engage in romantic relationships and bear children. And having everyone stretched as linked "Allies" is flat and boring. I was going to suggest a new relationship assignment of "Mentor" - that would be a sub-level assignment similar to a "Child" or "Adopted Child" that represents a character that has received training, guidance, or other assistance in their development. So just a suggestion - Add a "Mentor" option that could give logical "lower level" legacy tree slots to characters, since having everyone as an ally or sibling doesn't give feel as a hierarchy. Again, this is not a criticism on the existing system, and I realize that even from roleplaying standpoints, there are many ways to explain why your Twi'lek Consular might be the child of your Human Sentinel. Just food for thought

Perhaps as an unlock (or perhaps just as a free ability also) could there be titles your character could have based on Legacy relationships? i.e. Lihon, son of Tarnic, or Zepyan, Rival of Lucinas, or Helana, Ristan's Wife, etc?

Just as a thought, what if guild masters could be given the ability to flag a member's account to "Invite Legacy to Guild" meaning that when that account created a new legacy alternate character, they would receive an automatic guild invite?

I don't remember seeing that mentioned in the notes...is there no intention to allow smaller, family-style guilds to have access to Guild Banking?

Well, a dev just posted the downtime was due to the necessity of installing a patch. Of course, there's no detail as to what was being patched or why, but there is a post at least now.

Just ran Taral V for the first time today, and the group wiped on the last boss. When we respawned, the instance had been completely reset as if we were starting it brand new. Needless to say the group said "no way" and broke up. After submitting an in-game ticket (as did one of the group members) we were informed both by standard CSR reply and live in-game chat that Taral V is intended to reset fully if your group wipes on the last boss. Given that sometimes, things can cause wipes other than player skill (internet disconnects, etc) forcing a total restart of the Flashpoint because of failing one boss seems a bit ridiculous, and perhaps that might be changed to be consistent with other Flashpoints that do not do a full reset of all progress on a single group wipe.

Yes, I had the same problem until I came here, saw this suggestion, hit Reset and the very next Rakghoul infected me.
