Semitsu Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Greetings, This is a simple suggestion for what to do with Legacy. Rather than merely leveling Legacy to get various things, have the experience points gained in Legacy convert to actual experience points another character can use. Example: I play a Jedi as my main. However, I'd rather be leveling my smuggler. Except... All my friends aren't leveling alts (other characters) of their own right now. I miss out on the content they are doing and my time with them if I level alts. Also, it risks frustrating friends or guild demands. Dark Age of Camelot had a system where for every level you earned you gained access to 1 free level after one character reached 50. For SWTOR I would suggest that experience points from Legacy convert to the equivalent experience points of the character being leveled. Example: I have 100,000 Legacy Experience Points, say. I log onto my Alt. Go to an appropriate machine, vendor or person and choose "Convert Legacy to Experience." Then my character gets as much exp as is appropriate for 1 level, half a level or whatever Legacy amount I have. To do this again I have to play my alt 1 full level. This is roughly the same as the Dark Age system and it makes tolerating leveling a second, third and forth character much more rewarding. Edited February 10, 2012 by Semitsu
captainmerkin Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Yes skip all the content for your other classes.
Maoxx Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Thats a little much. Besides leveling in this game is relatively fast. If you already have an idea of what your doing you can hit 50 in at least 2 -3 weeks. Probably even quicker than that if you were so inclined.
JimG Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Disagree. Not a fan of power-leveling. This is basically power-leveling for alts. Altaholics don't care about having to level other toons. For an altaholic, building a new character and watching them develop and learning how to play to the character's strengths and weaknesses along the way is fun. I'd much rather unlock new species, powers, etc. rather than be able to power-level alts.
EigerX Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 The main reason I level alts is to... you know, level them. The journey, not the destination. Experience the other storylines, etc. What I want for Legacy rewards? - Legacy storage which all have access to (regardless of imperial or republic) - Bound items sharable within your legacy - Commendations sharable. You could then pool those few planetary commendations you have for each character and actually get something for them - Crafting Materials freely usable by any crafter if they're stored in your Legacy Storage - Share companions. You wouldn't be able to increase their favor, I wouldn't think because dialogue choices for increasing favor is so closely tied to the original character's class, but would allow your low level alts to perhaps get a more ideal companion. - I'd really like a way to fast travel directly to your ship. This doesn't seem to be related to legacy, but any way I can get it would be great. I spend a lot of time running through space ports. And/Or a Mark/Recall travel ability and if it could work between planets, awesome. Of course I'd also like attacks, and heals, and utility abilities, but I don't see them giving too much of that kind of stuff as it'd upset the already precarious balance even more.
