Machine-Elf Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh expect them not to come any time soon. Why would they spend time developing dangling carrots for players when they can spend time developing PURCHASEABLE dangling carrots. (Buy this speeder unlock!)

Why would they spend time developing dangling carrots for players when they can spend time developing PURCHASEABLE dangling carrots. (Buy this speeder unlock!) Who wants dangling carrots? Besides many people I know actually end up purchasing legacy stuff with cartel coins! So why not keep it the way it is? Either you spend lots of in-game time and ingame credits or you pay real cash. Imagine how helpful a Legacy wide Valor/Social unlock would be for many players. It took me a year to reach Valor 90 on my main and now I had to change sides due to... "social issues" i had on my server and I got invited into a rather prestigeous guild. And this year I won't have so much time to grind with the MIRROR CLASS (so doing exactly the same thing as I did last year - just on a different side). :'( I went flying with my wishes again...

The whole purpose of the legacy system is to provide perks which reward players' investment of time into the game. If you make said perks purchasable with cash you make the whole system redundant, and it may as well be done away with entirely. Honestly, I think it's already been made redundant, and I predict four more patches before the developers themselves concede to the veracity of this fact.

By not removing it, those that dont want to spend real coin, can get the same through game play. Therefore its not redundant. Just the lesse traveled path.

Why is it p2w you still to play the relevant content to gain the mechanically useful unlocks - comp affection mainly so it's more like play2win which shouldn't be a problem.

gibmachine Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) On latest livestream, Schubert said that legacy propably needs some revamping but that's not something that's happening anytime soon so yeah, don't hold your breath.

FeelFlow Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 After the cartel market's introduction, the legacy system doesn't make sense. It's designed to reward those who play lots with their main or alts and is a classic time sink MMO device in order to help drive subscriptions. To be honest, it would make more sense at this point for the legacy perks to be cartel market only. If you're a sub you can use your monthly cc allowance towards it.

Eraus Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 With all what happened this year at BioWare Austin and the game, we as the fans should stop searching for quotes that were said before the transition and the layoffs. Nothing said is set in stone, threads like this are the reason we don't get so much information from the Devs. Currently they say only things that are already in development or finished. They are almost scared to say what they have planed for the future, because if they can't for some reason deliver the wrath of the forums and the internet is let loose on them. The team and the game has changed, it's time to stop dwell in the past and look into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklordpotter Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Companion affection=bolstered stats and abilities=pay2win Which you have to play to unlock you cannot unlock the comp abilities without playing at least one class to the end of act two no matter how many cartel coins you use.

Excuse me while I flee screaming........ Right ok better now. Legacy perks should be unlocked by playing the game and achieving certain things in it (end Chapter 2, chapter 3, LS V etc...). TBH I'm not overjoyed that they offer CC unlocks as it is for legacy but if they start offering beneficial legacy unlocks only through the CM we are heading down an awfully slippery slope.
