DTalyn Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 How do I remove a character from my Legacy? For example, I have a Legacy with my Sith character, but I don't want him to share with my Jedi character. So how do I separate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinBail Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You don't. Your legacy includes all characters on this server. You can turn off the legacy name from the character window, or delete the character, but you can't have more than one legacy on a server or a character that is outside your legacy.

Eillack Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Legacy is server wide on ALL characters. You do not remove legacy. It is permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svancara Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I used to think if you wanted characters in your Legacy you had to add them to the Family Tree, but this isn't the case. Allow me to jump on this topic and ask the question; what is the relevance of the Family Tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svancara Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It has no relevance. Or function. Or anything. I see, perhaps it was originally intended as a Legacy feature to be able to exchange items or unlocks but got scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLynkes Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I guess they may have planned for it to have some purpose eventually, but they never got around to implementing anything. It's effectively just for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I see, perhaps it was originally intended as a Legacy feature to be able to exchange items or unlocks but got scrapped. It's a cosmetic thing that's really pitched at people heavily into the roleplaying aspects of the game, even if they aren't into full RP. I've seen it described as allowing you to record among your characters their participation in a key feature of Star Wars storytelling, the myriad connections of family, friendship, rivalry, and so on among the various personalities. Of course, there are some sharp limitations, like a character being limited to two links of the ally/rival category, and a lack of effective handling of wide-and-deep family trees. And a few bugs in the layout engine on the diagram. But yes, I'd say it is something that got a seriously large amount of neglect after it was introduced.

Storm-Cutter Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 But yes, I'd say it is something that got a seriously large amount of neglect after it was introduced. Love that turn of phrase! It sounds kinda Irish - In a nice way. Family trees were for RP purposes- tho' it was rather limited. - Sith and Chiss have Twi'lek son? I can't remember if you can look at other people's legacy tree - but I sometimes wonder how everyone in my legacy gets the same in-game spam mails from people advertising rather dodgy websites to buy credits. There are benefits and limits to legacy, but no real disadvantages. - But you could have all your characters in different guilds with no penalty.

Kulyok Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If you want, you can toggle around the character's name and title and choose "do not display Legacy name". That pretty much takes care of the problem. Sure, your characters going to share a stronghold, and send credits to each other, but that's for convenience, not story.

Erevan_Kindelar Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 How do I remove a character from my Legacy? For example, I have a Legacy with my Sith character, but I don't want him to share with my Jedi character. So how do I separate them? The other option would be to transfer the Jedi to another server, which would then have a different legacy. But as the server transfer costs credits/cartel coins, deleting the Jedi and rolling a Jedi on another server would serve the same purpose.

JediQuaker Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Allow me to jump on this topic and ask the question; what is the relevance of the Family Tree? It's a social aspect intended to help with "immersion". It's probably of most interest to RP players. Other than that it has no more relevance than say, a dye pack. Ah okay, I guess I'll have to tolerate that filthy Jedi Well, I don't see the problem, it's not like they have to split perks between them. You must be a bit Rp'ish,. But I understand it - a filthy DS Sith Warrior is polluting my Legacy. Edited February 3, 2016 by JediQuaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they can hate each other however much you want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adric_the_Red Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) How do I make them rivals?It's one of the options that pops up when you drag one character onto the other in the Family Tree. Looks like an angry face, will be upper right of the various options. And it will say "Add as Rival" on it. Start your Tree by dragging your Sith to the circle at the center. Then drag your Jedi onto your Sith, and several icons will show up around it. Drop your Jedi on the one that says "Add as Rival", and the two will be rivals. Note that if you later decide to make an "older" character to be a "parent" of your Sith (or Jedi), you will have to completely delete your tree and start it again with the character you want as the "parent", so you can add the other as a "child" (either biological or adopted) and then continue from there.

JediQuaker Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 BTW, I started out trying to setup a family tree, but after 6 or 7 characters, it got a bit too convoluted. Now that I have 14 characters, there's no hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
