Dariuss Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Nice to have some specifics! The cooldown reduction on Heroic Moment is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How underwhelming Is that the most 'Iconic' class skill the Devs can come up with as a legacy unlock? Can't please everyone. I would say Stock Strike would have been cool, but maybe doing that with a lighsaber wasn't feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vydor_HC Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not trying to be a wet noodle here, but is the Legacy system really that exciting? I don't understand the interest in it. -shrugs- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the interest in it. -shrugs- small things amuse small minds I guess. Wait till its out 2 weeks and people will be crying for more content because the content they add with this is so shallow and lore breaking it will no longer be star wars.. They should actually just change the name to something else and release the I.P to some competent company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuunu Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Theres more to the system the stuff they talked about was only a portion. Granted most of the other stuff will come later. The legacy system is designed to be build on and even new character will be able to benefit as long as you have at least one lvl 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micadog Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You do understand that they intend these to be skill perks, on long timers, mostly just for their RP, right???? Yes, I do know that. It is just such an un-interesting skill to use in what I assume is your 'Heroic' moment every 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what legacy level my character is, I don't know where to find it either. I'm not being cynical here, I just don't get it.

Azzras Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yes, I do know that. It is just such an un-interesting skill to use in what I assume is your 'Heroic' moment every 20 minutes. And I read you can reduce that cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

propht Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 legacy system seems pretty useless and underwhelming from that hands on review, unless emoting is ur thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the interest in it. -shrugs- Besides the Unarmed combat unlocks (which sound cool at least on paper) I am disappointed with the Legacy system. But I guess it doesn't really matter since once I preorder GW2 on April 10th ensuring invite to every beta event I will be cancelling my SWTOR account.

JustCuz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So you need Legacy levels AND the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micadog Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Don't think so. The credit prices are a choice for players who only want to play one character. As I understand it, you get the legacy level and it's free or you can buy for that price if you don't want to work on legacy level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCuz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) From the arcticle it really, really sounds like all Legacy levels do is unlock the option to buy (with credits) things. Edited March 13, 2012 by JustCuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRydisx Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 because there isn't enough CC in game already? Wait..forgot its pve only..but most bosses are CC immune..so it really helps nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanupox Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 And the smugger ..gets a kick..lmao..this has turned out to be a useless feature I think you are reading it wrong. If you level a smuggler to 50, then all your other legacy characters get the Smuggler Kick as an option for themselves. Another stun, would be quite good.

Rezze Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So I have a question for you lore guys out there regarding the legacy system. In part of the trailer I saw characters being marked as another characters son or whatever. This is a legacy and your characters share a last name so it is supposed to be some sort of family right? How does that work with all these different species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCuz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 because there isn't enough CC in game already? Wait..forgot its pve only..but most bosses are CC immune..so it really helps nothing. You need your pet out, so really how often are any of these really going to be used in a "meaningful" way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
