Did anyone made a mistake on purchasing legacy perks and thinking the character perks were linked with the rest of your alts in your legacy tree wasn't linked?
Read the description and you won't have this problem.

Jesus people, they're perks. They're incentive for people that have done most of the end game and have tons of credits lying around to level up some alts. If your highest character is level 40 and you're broke, the perks really aren't for you. 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.
-
I think it will be a nice improvement of several aspects of the game. No need to worry about breaking either. The game has more staying power than that.

Stuck at a conference until Wednesday. At least it will be ready to go when in get home.
-
The only way a character can afford this is if it is an alt and a main account is funding it.
What about new players that have yet to make it to end game? How do they buy these perks?
1) Play the game a lot.
2) Get credits
3) Buy perks.
My work here is done.

They are too lazy to add any aliens that are not essentially human clones with funny coloured skin.
Look at the issues with Twi'leks and headgear to see how they fail. Imagine them having to actually deal with all armor on various shapes and sizes of other alien races.
No, they've said the romance issue is the deciding factor here.

What they should have done is to make Legacy Points a separate currency in the game which you can spend on Legacy perks and unlocks. That way the rewards are directly related to the Legacy levels you have earned. Credits could still be a second option for people who like to only play on their level 50 character, and thus don't have a lot of Legacy points. I think there is a balance between credits and Legacy level -- a person with a very high Legacy level would not likely have a lot of credits, and vice versa. I'm sure there are exceptions -- that rare bird who has played the game so much he has 8 level 50 characters and a billion credits, but you can't design a system around crazy hardcore players like that (which is how the Legacy system currently feels to me).
Bioware may be thinking of the Legacy system as something that players will like to cherry pick just a few perks from and leave it at that, but that's not how it will play. There is a psychological effect when there is a bonus available to a player. It doesn't make sense to level a character without the benefit of that bonus. Any part of the game that is a bit slow or tedious becomes so much worse when you are constantly thinking "if I had perk X, this would be going faster." Running around on Taris without a speeder will be inconceivable once the perk is available to get a speeder earlier. Grinding out side-missions that you have done several times already will be inconceivable once perks are available to increase XP gain in other areas. Players are going to feel that many of those perks are MANDATORY to play an alt, because it just doesn't make sense to play without them.
So what does that mean? Those of us without enough credits will feel obligated to grind for credits before we can play our alts. And I know a lot of people find that grind so awful and tedious, it may be enough to say "I can't take this game anymore" and just quit. This is the effect the Legacy system has in its current state.
I think you're doing a LOT of projecting here. If I don't need a perk I'm not going to go through a huge amount of hassle to get it. There's lots of other things I could do with my time.
-
They're not going to ban speeders on the fleet. People would raise a fury.
-
OMG you mean I can't buy everything instantly because it doesn't come cheap? WTH BW???
Seriously people, obtaining credits in this game is ridiculously easy, can make a million in a matter of hours, and who the hell says you've to get everything immediately, finally, something that will take some time to complete, kudos BW, kudos.
Agreed. Play smart and any of this can be had without much trouble.
-
Every question asked, no matter where it's asked, gets referred to this post... Where there is NO answers! Well done BW, were in the dark again, the light switch is bugged and someone has stolen the bulb!:(
Or you could just read the thread since whatever you want to know has likely already been answered here.
-
Being evasive about class quests is understandable since the writers would want to keep that under wraps most of all. And his tweet is a normal "What do you want more of?"
-
The only game that can sink WoW is Wow. They're going to have to pretty much screw WoW up enough that a lot of people drop it for it to stop being #1. I don't see that happening.
And BW would be dumb to pour their energy into that anyway. There's plenty of money to be made being the #2 game in the world. Besides, the only people who *really* care about "taking down WoW" and fan zealots who link their personal sense of self worth to the popularity of what they like. That's a silly way to think and we're all better off ignoring such people.

SIGH again...
There are 2 sides to the conflict in SWTOR, so is 4 per side "moderate"?
Before you answer.. 4 per side plus 1 more slot for a "new" species"? So is 9 "moderate"?
.
Yes, on both. Do four on each side on one server and then start nine one a new one. Easy.
-
Everything in moderation. It's as true for alts as anything else in life.
-
Sorry man, there are reasons to do dailies and just like every other MMO there are raids/fp/pvp. It's just that people like to show off their gear and "hang out". Log in to any mmo out there and you will find a popular hang out. It's just how it is, no game design can break away the communities desire to congregate all in one place.
I'd be happy if people would just stop hanging in front of the mailbox. Get you mail and go and stop parking your car on top of the mailbox already, you jerks!
-
From a FACTUAL standpoint you're correct in the fact that I don't HAVE to move them.
An acknowledgement of what I was saying being true was all I wanted.
That said, I'd hardly consider myself a devil's advocate. Others have explained very well just why Bioware is really being pretty reasonable in this situation. I just happen to agree with them.

Transferring is NOT a choice. This is an MMORPG. That second "M" stands for multiplayer. I have room on my destination server for ONE of my Jekk Jekk Tarr toons. The others will still need a new home. They can't stay on JJT. Like all servers being given an "option" to leave, most active players are going to take that option. Now the friends and guild I have on that server are getting movied and if I want to keep playing with them I need to move too.
Just because you choose to only have four toons doesn't mean I have to. Don't try to force your ideals on me and I won't try to force my ideals on you.
See, that's where you are wrong. They *can* stay on JJT. You just don't WANT to keep them there. What you want and what is impossible are very different things. Which has always been one of my points.
-
Zero, as I expected.
-
Transferring isn't really a choice. You transfer, or you end up on a barren server with no one to play with. This is server consolidation, packaged in a way that won't cause the media outlets to proclaim the game's demise.
You're taking having a choice to mean "having a choice you like." I'm talking in the Sarte sense of choice.
-
i have 24 and had to leve 8 behind they alow you to create 40 char so they should have alowed to transfer to diferend server for the leftovers
24? Yeah, I'm going to call that excessive. But in any case, transferring is a choice and if you decided to go that way then the lose is the price of things.
-
Well, I'm annoyed. I have a destination for my original server. And I already have a full roster there. (Jekk Jekk Tarr to Harbinger)
When I saw JJT going dark early on I rolled new toons on Harbinger and began playing there.... Now, without a minimum of 12 character slots - I can't transfer my toons without deleting some of them.
So. Annoyed.
It's not BW's fault you rolled a dozen characters. It's a choice you made and, honestly, that seems excessive to me. I have four characters and don't plan on another until I've gotten at least one more to 50. One thing at a time and all...
-
Coming up on a new transfer announcement, no doubt. Predictions?
I'm thinking its gonna be big like last Wednesday.
Why waste time with predictions? Most of them will turn out to be wrong in some form and some people will just end up taking them as if they were facts and working themselves into even more of a froth.
A time happens at its appointed time and not a moment before.
-
I can see not wanting to people making placeholder alts as a reason to keep some details of the situation under wraps.
Personally, I don't mind the wait. A lot of other people aren't needed for PvE.
-
There seems to be a mentality on the TOR team that the customer is not always right and that forging ahead is better than going slow and finding the right answer. If you look at the Legacy system this is a great example. I wish someone at BW would just say, "wait, let's think about this and maybe even poll the players". (Note by poll the players I mean in game, not via the forums) Instead they seem to take the approach that they are right regardless of the legitimate problems their solutions might create.
The customer isn't always right. Often the opposite. Anyone who's worked retail can attest to that.
