Dire-Wolf Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So now that we know how the species unlocks are going to work with the legacy system I'm curious if anyone would have leveled characters differently had you known about it before hand? I certainly would have. I have a 50 Human Sith Warrior and a 36 Mirilian Jedi Consular. If I'd know how the species unlock was going to work with the legacy system I probably would have first leveled a Twi'lek Jedi (doesn't matter if it was a Knight or Consular) to 50, leveled a Sith Pureblood Inquisitor to 50 and then when the legacy system came out leveled a Twi'lek Sith Warrior and a Pureblood bounty hunter or something. It's a bit annoying that BioWare kept the whole legacy thing hush hush so we couldn't plan for future characters. Why it all had to remain a secret is beyond me.

I say that because the options will be purchasable and making credits, well I find it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwamper Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have 6 alts and I would've done nothing differently. Since races do not get bonuses, they are no more than costume options to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiiRahnedancer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 No. I made two of every class across two servers (one all Rep, one all Imp) so that I could see wich ACs I preferred and which species I liked. And to play around with all of the crew skills. I never intended to take them all up to 50 and expected that I'd be deleting more than half if I ever needed the extra slots when they get around to adding in new species or classes. I got one character on both servers up into the 30's to unlock Legacy and since then I've been playing around with the rest to see what suits me. I'll most likely keep the two that I have in the 30's and get them to 50 first. I'm deciding this week which of the others I'll keep and which will get the axe. I may only end up killing off one character since the only combination that I care about is a Twi'lek BH. My Merc isn't very far along and my Powertech is technically my "main" so the decision is easy if I want one on my Imp server. On the other hand my main on the Rep server is a Twi'lek so I'll be able to unlock the species quicker over there. And I did want a blue Twi'lek for my BH like the one I had in SWG. Hopefully unlocking a Rep Twi'lek will allow me to use those colorations on the Imp side and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkilledSeeker Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It was all hush hush because they didn't want to promise something unless they were 100% sure they would be able to deliver on it. They've revealed this now a month ahead of release so I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGriffon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 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.

Dayfax Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Eh, I might have been more tempted to level on the Imp side first because I find those races to be more vidually interesting. But I'm fine with how this was implemented. Granted, I don't have multiple, max level alts like some folks do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially, yes. Leveling any species to 50 unlocks that species for any future toon. AFAIK, there were no specifics around mechanics like deletion or transfers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jarjarloves Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 not at all. Is there anyone out there who didn't see this as being part of the legacy system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halorix Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If i read it correctly you can buy the unlocks through credits or something else ingame, so even if you don't level up a chiss you could still pay to unlock it and then make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's three months into the game- you may just have to spend a month playing a game that's intended to be played for years to get your new class/race combo you want. Doesn't seem like it's the biggest inconvenience ever to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like it's the biggest inconvenience ever to me. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGriffon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Lol! They could even make it a quest. Instead of finding a Flesh Raider baby on Tython, Jedis could find a Pureblood! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they could just pepper the worlds with alien baby spawns. Make em like Datacrons. There would be guides online showing you where you could find the specific baby you wanted, and people would be standing around spawn points on Voss and Dromund Kaas waiting for their baby to show up.

I could be wrong but i believe they said you could buy features that required Legacy levels with credits instead. However, the race unlocks are not tied to legacy levels. So i don't think you can buy them with credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwena Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Yes, I definitely would have leveled differently. My one level 50 is a human. If I had known this about the legacy system, I would have focused on leveling my Miraluka first, not the human! I have been hoping to make a Miraluka Sith since I first saw the beta, and really want to get started on an Inquisitor, but it looks like I will have to wait until I get my second level 50. Not a huge deal, but still rather irksome. Edited March 7, 2012 by Gwena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talahar Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nah, I don't see a problem with my leveling, since Species will be purchasable unlocks as well. I'll level the twi'lek inquisitor I have now to 50, purchase another one or two species for new alts. I think I'll manage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
