TheIronMonkey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you really want to push forward the benefits of Legacy, more items should bind to legacy instead of the one character. I roll 6 character right now, at different levels and crafting levels as well. I want more of what I find and/or make while playing to bind to my Legacy, so i can share it between my toons. They are all me, so why does it make much difference which of the characters found it or made it? This was the main reason I rolled so many characters, to have unique crew skills and help each other out. Now turns out many of the top items bind on pickup, so after I collect the materials and produce it I can only use it on that one character. Why? A schematic that produces something that binds on pickup makes no sense. So you make it once or twice and that is it?? What is the point? At least if it binds to Legacy you can use it a few more times. Also, here is a new concept : Bind to Guild? :-) Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicfear Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Bind to guild is an interesting concept... and I say yes to more bind on legacy loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButeoRegalis Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ...or provide some way of changing an item from bound to legacy-bound. Based on item level and steepen the curve at the high end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIronMonkey Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Could be a Legacy perk : when you get a certain level, you can buy the power to convert items from "Bound" to "Legacy Bound". That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The current system already allows us to grind gear for our alts and send them over throgh legacy armor. It's great. I'd like to get legacy lightsaber hilts so i can transfer my rare crystals. I have three white crystals on my Sith but I am not using them since every Sith should use red... I'd love to send them to my Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminminU Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I agree, more bound to legacy gear is needed, especially moddable items. I'd like to see a few different sets of mandalorian armor available to be bought only by a level 50 BH, but can be traded to other characters in legacy.

Myeh-Myeh Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think things should bind to legacy instead of character too, even if we'd have to buy it as a perk. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esproc Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bind to Legacy, Yes. Bind to Guild, No. A Legacy is a persons characters and of the same "family". A Guild is a group of people that can all have their own personal Legacies and should not have Legacy artifacts changing hands. If you do that, then all Legacy artifacts should be able to be traded at will or 'sold' on the GTN to anyone, making Legacy a joke and worthless.

Petnil Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 No, just no. While it might be nice for my new alt to get full columi when he dinged lv50 i just dont think it´s realistic, or even "fair" Maybe fair isn´t the right word, i earned the gear so why wouldn´t it be fair, but it just feels wrong to get end or close to end gear that easy. i would support legacyarmor to increase in lv as your alt would lv. Like heirloom in WoW. I just think bind on legacy on endgame gear is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petnil Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 adding a few craftet items would be ok. but bossloot and commendation gear should remain bop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIronMonkey Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just a minor note, I said "more of everything", NOT everything. I think one of my main rewards from legacy is been able to help alts develop (1 - 49) easier by sharing items and powers I already played many hours to gain. I understand not everything can be passed around, I would just hope MORE should be assigned to BoL instead of BoP. I think it would add value to the Legacy system. But of course najor boss drops etc should remain controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessnjam Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 /signed I agree! Schems are a good idea. But it would be nice to also bind to legacy awesome crafts items, as listed in the thread previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastaKorgy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you really want to push forward the benefits of Legacy, more items should bind to legacy instead of the one character. I totally agree, I want much more of my gear to bind to my legacy. It is completely silly to make most gear bind to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastaKorgy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 adding a few craftet items would be ok. but bossloot and commendation gear should remain bop. I disagree, I want some boss loot to bind on legacy too. So that it makes it a bit easier to play this game, but more importantly funner to play too.

Master-Nala Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Agreed. Most gear should be bind to legacy. It would encourage folks to play the role needed if their main isn't ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Nala Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Bind to legacy?? Absolutely not.. Do we really have to make this game any easier than it already is?? Where do you see 'easier' in this? Convenient, yes. Easy? How? Because you don't have to individually grind gear on each alt? That's not a question of difficulty.

Lunafox Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have 8 'main' toons, and 4 I tool around with on my legacy...so I definately agree that binding to legacy is the way to go. Especially now with the cartel packs...it would be nice to be able to shift things around for those who indulge in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIronMonkey Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Been a while since I started this thread, and the need gets bigger and bigger. By now I have 6 L50s, a L37 and a L22. Every single class. Since BW insist on using random drops and skills on the stuff you earn (what the heck is a BH going to do with willpower stuff??) more of it should bind to legacy. That way at least you get some use out of it. Otherwise is all vendor food. I already outfit my lower toons with crafted items from my higher toons, so the issue of outfitting lower chars is irrelevant. Level and class already reduce my possibilities enough that even with crafting at 400 on EVERY single crafting skill, I sometimes depend on the drops for the new toons, which works fine. I just hate buying the packs, you get random stuff, and if you get really lucky you might be able to use it. At least binding to legacy you get more chances to use it somewhere.
