zElmTree Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) So coming in the future is this thing called Galactic Reputation. Basically the more side quests you do involving a faction (republic, empire, gree, voss...etc) , the more reputation you build which in turn earns you titles ( Newcomer, Hero, Legend, etc...). What is interesting is that in the notes, they said that the Galactic Reputation will tie with your character's Legacy. Currently my Legacy lvl is 41 and I am positive there are people that are higher than me. My question is, will all the work we have done for our Legacy in reaching our levels already count toward this new system? In other words, will we already have these titles unlocked? I am guessing Legacy lvl 25 is "Legend" status so would people who are 25 and above already have unlocked all of the titles? Is that going to be the case or are we going to have to start off as Newcomers and work our way up again to get Legend status? Then the question arises for people with max legacy....how will it work for them if they really have no where left to lvl it to?

AboB Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I would support a fresh start for everyone on this one. Sounds like a great community equalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugattiboy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) everyone starts at zero Yeah, I'm pretty sure that would tank the game, but as EA has proven time and time again, nothing is beneath them.

Kualan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Reputation levels are separate to Legacy levels. Everyone will start at zero. The only connection is that reputation levels will be Legacywide, as Legacy levels are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVitrial Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You mean if I am exalted with a faction, all my alts will also be exalted with that faction? Correct. Though I kinda doubt a republic alt could be exalted with the Imperial Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradLionhart Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Correct. Though I kinda doubt a republic alt could be exalted with the Imperial Guard. This game just looked better. In fact, it is something WoW cannot do. You have to grind rep with all of your alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume BioWare let us grind quite long for it, because we just have to do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slafko Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I expect some reputation tracks to be legacy-bound and others single character only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draekos Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm legacy 50 and am fine with a new bar to fill. In fact I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobstah_rofls Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 In fact, it is something WoW cannot do. You have to grind rep with all of your alts. So this is a WoW thing? Other than more grinding, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alavastre Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm legacy 50 and am fine with a new bar to fill. In fact I'm looking forward to it. That's pretty much the point isn't it? To expand the existing game, give players another bar to fill that have filled them all. Not complaining, but that was exactly why they are implementing rep. I think it's long over due.

Kellorion Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'd prefer if your alts, or whomever didnt do the work, to gain rep, gained half the rep your grinder had. Like your granddad was awesome, so your in, but but you still gotta work hard to where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zElmTree Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Any ideas how many levels this new bar will be? Maybe 50 lvls? A new title every ten levels, but lvld faster than our legacy bar I'd assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like your granddad was awesome, so your in, but but you still gotta work hard to where he is. Yes that's what I thought Legacy should be. More about inheritance. Sort of like how the son of both jedis will inherit the stats of his parents, making him stronger and have higher stats. That's a better way to boost stats than datacrons.

Altyrell Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Obviously the Gree one will be at Zero. But I wonder if the Reputation for the Republic, Empire, Voss things and any other Organization that you can gain Reputation with, if they will be Flat Zero or if it will be Retroactive. I could also see, down the line, Worlds having various Reputation Organizations or whatever you'd want to call them. For example, the Twi'lek Village on Tython or the Houses on Alderaan. Also, I would love if the Reputation System would eventually eliminate/replace the Commendation System.

It is not intuitive. Reputation system won't ever be outdated. I felt like a huge roleplay part of Skyrim was taken out when they took out npc disposition. Reputation system is intuitive and has huge story and roleplay potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitas Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Seeing as by now say on Voss, most of the missions would've all been done by players as well as on any other world, apart from heroics. Hopefully all the missions which you've already completed will contribute towards your reputation count. Edited January 19, 2013 by Vitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Victus Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 My primary concern about this is what exactly are the benefits to grinding this rep. So far all they are teasing us with is new titles. Will there be reputation based vendors that will sell unique items to players depending on reputation with the faction?

Obviously the Gree Enclave won't but the Voss, or the Imperial Guard on Belsavis, etc will be Retroactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelDranoel Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Should be retroactive. Why in the world does someone like me who has been here since launch and actually plays for the stories should have the same rep as some player who unsubbbed a long time ago or a new player. Legacy is normally retroactive. 1)When they first released it, everything I had unlocked before the legacy update showed in my legacy. Like my Twi'lek species unlock and my companion presence unlocks. 2) In the test server, my legacy there has all my live server unlocks even though only one of my 50's is there. The second they put it in the PTS is when I will find out since my legacy is already there. Edited January 19, 2013 by SentinelDranoel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all the missions which you've already completed will contribute towards your reputation count. I expect the next daily area to be on Voss for this reason. Section X dailies will probably give Imperial Guard rep, the new Gree event dailies give Gree rep, and the Space dailies I assume will give First Imperial Fleet rep. Ps. I hope its a fresh start for all. I'd dislike it if I'd be exalted with everything right away. Edited January 19, 2013 by LordExozone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanctioned Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) •Galactic Reputation is tied to your character’s Legacy, so enjoy earned Reputation Points and ranks across all characters in your Legacy! Wow way to fail basic reading comprehension; but I guess that's the norm nowadays. They couldn't spell it out any easier and people still misunderstand and hear only what they want to hear. Galactic Reputation points and progression is tied to all your Legacy characters. it has nothing else to do with Legacy or Legacy level, so far.
