Sebastynn Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 with 1.2 releasing soon(ish). I would like to see Social Points shared across your legacy. obtaining SP for a casual player is difficult. pooling them across 8 characters would make things much more manageable. I can't imagine the grind of hitting social 10+ on 8 toons when getting a static group for anything other than flashpoints and the occasional heroic is near impossible. Please, devs. Make Social Points follow the same sort of form as Legacy XP does. all toons on the server.
Daedricon Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Honestly I don't see why this isn't a good idea, why would I have to grind another 10 social levels on another character. Getting high social doesn't make the game easier, you don't get better armor just unique moddable gear, and you don't level faster. Now that 1.2 launched social points now are almost apart of your Legacy. Some legacy unlockables have a social requirement, don't see why they didn't do this already. Even if your a level 10 with Social X your able to get the decorative orange gear but you need the credits to purchase it as well as the level if there is one. I wish they would merge them, would help out the people that RP in the game. Also its harder to get groups as a low level these days. Low level area populations are decreasing more and more lately. I had to spam general chat all half of yesterday just to do two heroics on Dromund Kaas and i still need to finish 3 more.
Dan_McMan Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 This would be hugely appreciated. As has been mentioned, your Social level doesn't make the game easier or make you level faster, it just allows you access to some custom gear. As has also been mentioned elsewhere, gaining Social levels takes a LOT of time, it is extreamly tedious, and doesn't really reflect how social the player is. Running Esseles over and over without chatting isn't socializing, but that's what it takes to gain social levels.
HeavensAgent Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 No thank you. They should simply make social points more readily available in group content. Like they're already doing.
Aethyriel Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 They should give you Social Points for playing in a grp and not just conversations. How often has someone helped someone, done a H2 or H4 together, cleared a FP or raid, all social acitivities and got absolutely no SP at all? It just doesn't make sense and to have your personal story altered by another player in a stroy driven mmo is not ideal (reason I never grpd for instanced quests with conversations because.. no dear Darthkillajedimasterlolwutskyvader" I do NOT wish to slaughter the orphans and eat their bunnies. I'm not even social level 2 and I can't even count the times I've helped random people with world/class story quests (I've probably killed the final boss on Voss like 50 times by now and I only have 4 lv 50 chars). It's a broken system.
Sebastynn Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Aye. the Social Points now simply unlock emotes. So they have tied to your legacy, just not in the way that I had hoped. any word on this devs? Honestly I don't see why this isn't a good idea, why would I have to grind another 10 social levels on another character. Getting high social doesn't make the game easier, you don't get better armor just unique moddable gear, and you don't level faster. Now that 1.2 launched social points now are almost apart of your Legacy. Some legacy unlockables have a social requirement, don't see why they didn't do this already. QFT
Xavon_Wrentaile Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 +1 I am already sick of running Esseles for my main, I don't want to have to do it for all my alts.
Evanezar Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Do not do this... not everyone should have social X except for the crazies spamming Black Talon and Esseles and the husband/wife pairs that quest together. Having the title "Big Time" is unique and don't just give it away. If you have 8 toons and you have to get social x on all of them be my guest.
