PavSalco Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 and the Rishi camp-fests. Wait until someone uncovers them, come with your alts, profit! That's what I did. Those datacrons last for several minutes if not hours. When I heard someone uncovered them, I came with three different alts to that place and was still able to click them.

WickerManSixOOne Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks Eric, this sounds great. Long-time players like us will always be concerned about the simplification of stats but this will save us a whole lot of trouble in our compulsive min-maxing.

When I heard someone uncovered them, I came with three different alts to that place and was still able to click them. They can stay for hours as long as people keep picking them. We did it one day in our guild, another guild joined in, then people kept hopping on alts, bringing their opposite-factions characters and everything. The party lasted for a day, still saw them opened with last few players picking them next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakisback Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I know a lot of people want this so that's cool and all. I personally would rather have an excuse to go out into the open world on all of my toons to get them- and not just on one or two of them. Having done them on 9 toons will be meaningless now, but I'm more concerned with people just getting the datacrons once and never again. I'd rather it be a constant thing that people have to go out into the open world on new toons for, but I'm sure I'm in the minority there. Sadly, most people will choose convenience, say "I don't have time to..." etc. Edited August 11, 2015 by Kakisback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savej Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 In b4 Ratajack and his pet fish hijack the thread with their datacron entitlement litanies. But seriously, marvelous news. I'm actually going to bother getting them now! I think he blew up a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceWelder Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Legacy wide ... Wow. that means Imp only datacron stats would upgrade Repubs and vice versa. hell, do that and it almost becomes mandatory to get the datacrons if you PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakisback Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) mandatory to get the datacrons if you PVP. Laziness should be punished. Edited August 11, 2015 by Kakisback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacri Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Lol even if it doesnt make it for 4.0, will probably be on 4.1? Sounds cool to me eitherway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_YourUncle Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hey folks! I wanted to pass on a little tidbit that I heard this morning. We are very actively looking to put Legacy-wide Datacrons into Knights of the Fallen Empire! We know this has been widely requested for many years and so the Design team is working as we speak to get it in. As always, this is not a guarantee that it will make it in, but the team is hard at work to make it happen . -eric In the post you say its not a guarantee when the title states it as a fact. In 2 months if they are not implemented as legacy wide for whatever reason we are going to have so many threads about lies, etc. Just saying.

Clarian Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Will this be retroactive for all the datacrons that we have already gotten? That's what I'd like to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pietrastor Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Legacy wide ... Wow. that means Imp only datacron stats would upgrade Repubs and vice versa. hell, do that and it almost becomes mandatory to get the datacrons if you PVP. All depends how they do the numbers. If it ends up being 200+ Mastery gain, then deffo worth it (at least at level 65). But if it's just 100 total or less, then not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkina Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 On topic, this is good news and thanks for sharing. Off topic, I cannot BELIEVE that this is the first yellow post after Gamescom.

It's not a guarantee to make it in on the release of the xpac, but a guarantee they are working to make it legacy wide, two different things.

Exactly beside the point lol. But yeah we'll have a lot of that too. Save that response for the impending threads post expac release should it not be implemented.

phryan Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Link to Datacron Master decoration, if you have achievement and click it fills in any missing Datacrons. Players would still need to run through the Datacrons at least once but wouldn't need to on alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torvai Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 How I'd love to go into every thread that asked for this since launch and necro it with this statement, with the note "told ya".

MillionsKNives Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So, lets begin. I'd like social points applying to all my characters please - I've done the social stuff once, so all characters please. Valor, why should I have to grind myself to 100 on each character? I've done it once so I'd like valor 100 on each character as well. Sounds good to me. Valor does nothing but unlock Battlemaster sets and non-ranked War Hero, and maybe a couple other items. Social is pretty much the same. I'm all for it. Make it happen BioWare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikinai Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just a Note: This is not the first yellow post in 6 days, but it might be the first one that you think is important. If you would have noticed the dev tracker they have posted: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8375391#edit8375391 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8375132#edit8375132 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8375132#edit8375132 Of course if you are looking for something relating to the expansion that would be different but you stated first post in six days which is not entirely correct.
