Taovhal Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 A possible alternative we implement something like this for example, Say you get trooper bound chest piece, simple solution would be the capability of mailing that to your bounty hunter and exchanging it for the bounty hunter equivalent. Same with a trooper bound level 14 rifle, exchange for the bounty hunter level 14 pistol. Yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shingara Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 wierdly the lvl 14 stuff is incredibly powerful, doesnt look like it but they are, they can easily last you till lvl 30 without swapping out even when upgrades become available because the gains are so small thus allowing you to throw that gear into cash, that in turn allows you to not push your mains money into an alt as the alt can gain there own legacy perks.

You're right but you have Comms to spend on gear. You're not forced to buy any gear while leveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiranK Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The point of inheritance/birthright gear? To make you laugh at Bioware's incompetence, of course. Much like everything else they put in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaFUohYeahhh Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah. I just spent 24 commendations and randomed this junk I out leveled quite a while ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Gear taht serves you for only five levels and costs weeks of commendation farming? No thank you! It was always suggested that it should scale with level but they don't care anymore. Legacy gear is so nasty in most cases nobody wears it. Sith warrior and Smuggler being exceptions.

Logisitcs Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The worst thing implemented by far. I remember they were praising this garbage, my how they made **** seem like gold. This needs to be scrapped and redone, make it scale with level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaron Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Good idea, incredibly crappy implementation - they should've done it like Aion did their "Daeva" set, where you can transform each piece into a different piece of the same type by turning in the item and paying a fee. Example: I choose to use the basic "Inheritance Gloves Construction Kit" to pick gloves for my Trooper, a while later it gets outleveled, but I also have a level 14 Jedi Sentinel that could use gloves of that level - so my Trooper takes his gloves back to the vendor where he originally got them in exchange for the kit, and turns them in along with a small fee to remodel them into Sentinel gloves - and then mails them to the Sentinel. It would actually put the "Inheritance" part in the item, instead of making it just another item that happens to get sent to an alt. Not to mention it would make finding the items much more special, and maybe even convince some people that it's worth using the ridiculous amount of daily commendations to acquire one of the pieces to complete the set. It's all pointless at this point, since Bioware isn't going to look back and change anything about these items - they'll always be the rather useless junk that they are now. A shame.

Cernow Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) I've levelled lots of alts and I have never once used any of the Birthright gear, it's worthless junk because you outlevel it so rapidly and can't mod it. There's much better gear to be had from other sources (particularly since it is aimed at players who are levelling alts, not at first timers). I've bought one or two of the custom orange Legacy armour pieces where I wanted the particular appearance, but no whole sets because they are hugely overpriced. Hugely. The whole Birthright/Legacy gear system misses the mark by such a wide margin Bioware should be embarassed they've left it in the game in this state. It needs a total rethink. The Birthright gear needs to either scale with level or be mod-able. The orange legacy shells need their prices brought into line with other adaptable legacy bound gear in the game (Gree, Section X etc)..

jgoldsack Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've used it on 3 different alts. Actually I have used the SAME set on 3 different alts, different classes. The trick is, you have to go back and trade it in to the vendor before the timer runs out (2 hours) and keep doing that until you no longer need the items. A pain in the ***, but I got use out of em. But ideally, you should be able to freely exchange them for any class, hell, make the stats "adaptive", so if I put it on a inq/cons, I get willpower. I put it on a trooper/BH, I get Aim, warrior/knight I get str, smuggler/op I get cunning. The other stats remain the same, the only thing that changes is the primary stat. Shouldn't have been that hard to do, and makes them more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorcist Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah, who approved this monstrosity idea to go live anyway? What a waste of time and resources! "Oh, lets just do any idea we know the players will like. We are talented designers and developers. We KNOW shizzle akazizle!" Pift, yeah... right...

Omniov Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I can't believe I just got this legacy crap two times in a row from 24 comm boxes. was the designer out of his mind? giving the player this utterly useless item for a few hours of heroics? why do they put such a nonsense in most expensive comm box? the box might just as well be empty.. would be better to just do the boring daily, at least I'd be sure to get credits and not some ill-mind creation :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckly Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 ya that sucks when the legacy gear drops from the 24 comm boxes doesn't happen to often for me but it does happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshmael Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I dont get the point .. if you play some alts, and do slicing for some time, you have a complete set for every class =) I have just sold ~45 Items to the vendor 2 weeks ago. For the lvl its just nice armor to use. If you dont have it just use ne random crap that drops while leveling. There is no need in getting blue or better gear while leveling because you can rush through the levels in no time (especcially in the last 4 Weeks), and there are on the same level 3 fights in all class storys that are hard to manage (only if your heromoment isnt a bulk of 4+ skills).

JimG Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah, you guys don't get the point of this legacy gear at all. When leveling your character, you are given inheritance/birthright legacy gear at certain points as a little bonus for alts. You can also buy it off the daily comm vendors but that would be a waste. It also shows up as a random drop sometimes. It's good for about 5 levels or so on an alt. It's not meant to be something that you can just gear up alts and never have to replace gear for 30 or 40 levels. Everyone wants more gear bound to legacy.....more use for legacy gear, etc.....but that would make no sense from a game standpoint. Why would they want to further destroy the market for pre-50 crafting of gear, mods, etc? Why would they want to create less of a market for the Cartel stuff? Yeah, I'm sure some people would love to be given an entire set of gear that they never have to mod or replace for 50 levels. That's not realistic. The inheritance/birthright gear is nothing but a minor bonus for your alts that you earn along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaron Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 When I use it, that's pretty much what I do, Jim. Usually it's not worth the bother though, and I'll just stick with a matching moddable set - which I'll keep updated through a combination of my Cybertech alt and commendation vendors.

Uvirith Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ehm, legacy gear DOES level with the character. I have a legacy Mainhandsaber. It always has better stats than a similar saber with onlevel green Hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desolaytore Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm gonna go ahead and bump this thread. Legacy sets have been needing a fix for awhile now. Also would be cool if they added a new set soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 This may have already been said, and I may not be entirely accurate here, but this is what I know about Legacy gear... Inheritance level 14-16 legacy gear is purchased with Inheritance item construction kits. They are equal to blue quality approximately for that level range. Birthright level 29-33 legacy gear is purchased with Birthright item construction kits. They are also equal to about blues for that level range, and therefore are even less useful IMO. Renowned is orange adaptable armor as far as I understand, purchased with credits but requires legacy level 10. Exalted is also orange adaptable armor purchased with credits and requires legacy level 20 As far as I know Renowned and Exalted Legacy gear does not have a level requirement, and you can equip mods that are bound to you into this armor and mail it to alts.

Hizoka Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 No, but that's how it was expected to work, and how people quite obviously want it to work. no its how lazy people wanted it to work... it works exactly how EAware wants it to work right now.

ObiJuanShenobi Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Change Birthright and Inheritance Legacy Gear to be modable (orange) and make it BoP to keep the rarity factor. ...Just like the exalted peices.

discbox Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) It's just another half-baked stupid idea. But it drops from storage boxes like decent gear. BioWare thinks this crap has any use for players, but it doesn't. Anyways, they don't remove them from storage boxes, so we still can draw a blank by open them and get this useless gear.
