Not at all. Once contains story quests, actual leveling, and the primary (or secondary) time sink implemented into the game. This would be a tertiary time sink along the lines of an optional side quest (or series of side quests) like the HK scavenger hunt missions. From a gameplay perspective, considering your companion is an extension of your character, being able to spawn a late-game companion at level one with fully customizable armor and weapons is (to some extent) a permanent stat boost for a character that did not earn it. I really don't see why the whining in opposition to this idea. If you don't want it, don't get it. Its a suggestion for the implementation of a convenience service, just like the rest of the legacy purchases.

I really don't think that recoloring a speeder or womprat to add every month or so along with some more (atrocious) color dyes wouldn't be too much of a stretch, nor would it distract from any actual content being added, as I'm sure they would just utilize their cartel market recoloring team for it

so? The point is that I can go and get HK on my alt, but I already did and don't want to take the time to do so. It's much easier to come up with the creds. The same line of reasoning applies to datacrons. I can take the time to go get them again, but if there is an option to pay creds (or cartel coins), it is preferable. Adding a legacy level prerequisite or a minimum player level required for purchase would keep lowbies from becoming too powerful too quickly.

agreed. However, why the legacy level of 45 of requirement (not that I disagree, I just don't follow your logic). I have all the datacrons on one character, and a good portion on a number of others, and I think I'm only legacy 46 or 47 (I had all the datacrons WELL before 45)

I don't. I'm saying they are in the same realm. "You completed task x on a character, so pay a fee and have it unlocked on a different character." If you are opposed to legacy datacrons, then reason would dictate that you should be lobbying for the removal of the HK purchase as well.

My argument is that there are already a number of other options implemented for nothing more than convenience. This would simply be another one. "Don't want to do the HK missions again? Just pay one million credits" "Don't want to track down every datacron on your faction again? Just pay five million credits" it's the same principle.

I don't see why there is so much hate towards the idea of legacy datacron unlocks. People saying that it is the easy way out, that it doesn't make sense, that it needs to be done on each character, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the majority of the legacy bonuses already? Does that mean they should never have been implemented either?

Bioware has already stated that any playbable species needs to both be able to speak full basic as well as display visual emotion. Essenially, this means their face needs to be humanoid, which rules out Kel Dor.

I refer to them as drones

Only if I get to freely use my Jetpack whenever I want to to go wherever I want to on my BH. You know, just so long as we're making ridiculous requests...

Then what they should do is just do away with specs. You choose which of the three variants you want, and thats what you get. All of your points go into that tree and fill it up entirely. No more options. In fact, why stop there? Vanguard doesn't need TWO dps specs. Just have a tank option and a dps option. Classes like sniper? Nah, you don't need a choice at all. One spec.

no this would make PvE gear BiS for PvP. There are plenty of people who don't touch PvE and choose to only PvP. You would be destroying the game for them.

I understand, was just clarifying that if it was the OP you were referring to, then no, overheating shouldn't be an issue ^_^

QFE. You can't say the other team roflstomped you when you guys (collectively) were too chicken s**t to fight.

if you are referring to OP, he said he was running it on an iMac, which is Apples all-in-one desktop. Heat generally isn't an issue.

I was running it on bootcamp until I finally completed my gaming rig. While obviously my PC runs it better, things played just fine on the iMac, albeit with slightly tuned down graphics.

I wonder how this would look with the Nihilus mask. Until we actually get his robes (if we get them, which I am hoping for) I've been having trouble finding a set that is dark enough to match the material, since the mask itself does not color match. Only thing I've found that looks decent with it (IMO, of course) is the phantom set.

pretty much this.

still no jetpacks :\

Right, we're all humans here...

Oddly enough, PT actually has abilities, not just gear, that improve their alacrity.

Calling out individual players for any reason, whether true or not, is a breach of forum policy and such threads are shut down. It has nothing to do with the truth value of these claims.

that's why I clarified that if they are bringing that gear into 55 wzs

been saying that for a while now. That would also solve a lot of the "premades are unfair" stuff.

is it not already opened for them? I thought that was part of 2.4
