myrdinn Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If implemented, might also apply only to new datacrons. (this is a possibility that occurred to me, but no one else has stated it, so...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratajack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If implemented, might also apply only to new datacrons. (this is a possibility that occurred to me, but no one else has stated it, so...) Very true. As I said, it seems that many read Eric's post and have interpreted it as a promise that legacy datacrons WILL be implemented with the xpac, that those legacy datarons WILL include the stat bonuses and that those legacy datacrons WILL be retroactively applied. None of that was explicitly stated or even implied, but many will be here crying about LIES and BROKEN PROMISES if legacy datacrons are not implemented or they are not implemented in that manner.

Jesira Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) 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 omg YAASSSS!!! I know this will be asking too much, but is it possible at some point if there would be a way to track which datacron's we have & don't have after this? I can't even remember which ones I do and don't have across all my characters anymore as I've taken big breaks from the game on and off since launch, so I'm sure there has to be other players in that position as well lol.

You already roughly have that: in the planet information there is a spot for "number of discovered" out of "number of possible to discover datacrons" for a planet.

Rankyn Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) My guess is that they're only considering this because they plan to remove the obsolete stat bonuses from them and thus turning them into little more than a codex entry and achievement. Since there would no longer be stats involved, there's really no reason not to make them Legacy-wide same as any other 'checklist style' achievement.

PetFish Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Ah well, I knew this day would come eventually. I'm interested to know the details of what actually is going to happen since the OP isn't specific. It could just be Codex entries. No point getting excited or stressed until there's more info.

Ratajack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Well that doesn't sound cool at all! Why not? If they remove the stat bonuses from the datacrons and just make them equivalent to lore objects, would that be a problem? If so, why?

Aries_cz Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Whatever you're on, can I have some please? How does one pass on enjoyment? But seriously, most Datacrons, assuming you know where they are, are primitive to get and if you have some basics on how to jump in the game, when to turn off sprint, when yo use short jumps, when to use running jumps, etc. I have been clooecting crons all over again on my most recent character, and I got most of them on first or second try.

I mean once I've gotten to level 65 once why should I need to do it again and again and again? Gear drops too? I mean once I've done a FP or OP and got a piece of gear may as well give it too all my characters right? Same thing far as I can tell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadtechSavant Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Ok, not complaining but would have liked them just a little easier to get without all the jumping. As it stands now I am sure many will like this but wont affect me as I really bad at the jumping so still wont bother with them. It is nice though that you have looked at players wants for this and acted on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a very positive thing for most players. All I ask is that the Legacy Unlock is retroactive based on achievements (so we don't have to get them all over again on one toon to unlock the ability) and that you have to wait until vl 50 - 60 to unlock them on a toon. A Legacy 50 requirement would also be nice. For example: I would gladly pay 200cc on each toon to unlock them at lvl 60. We can't have lvl 1 toons unlocking it and then jumping into PVP at lvl 10 with a clear advantage from the stat and endurance boost though. That is why I suggest at least a lvl 50 requirement, 60 is even better. Edited August 11, 2015 by DarthVengeant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
