The Amazing Vanishing Legacy Mark

I know it's not the biggest issue at the moment, but it is getting VERY annoying.

Issue:
Whenever I go through a zone-line, use an aetherite, or enter into a cut-scene, my Legacy tattoo toggles itself off.

For now I've set up a macro for /lmark, but is this a common issue? And will it be fixed at any point?

Notes:
The mark doesn't seem to be toggling itself off, exactly. More like it turns invisible. My macro requires me toggling it off and back on again to make it visible.

Thank you for sharing that command, you have no idea how long I have been searching for a reason why mine was not showing up in game nor did any game options mention it.

Still curious how you knew that command existed.

Either way thank you for sharing.

/lmark

omg thank you for this. I kept thinking it was some sort of bug and my tattoo was just gone! Didn't realize that we have to type the hidden "l"

No problem, guys. I was in beta since the beginning so when our characters got initially brought in from 1.0 i KNEW i should have the mark. When I logged into live for the first time and didn't have the mark I was gutted, and immediately went internet searching to see if I would find out what happened. I found the /lmark command buried in a beta thread for people complaining that they didn't want to see it (strange people).

As I've mentioned previously, I cannot get the legacy mark to STAY on, though. STILL it is turning itself off in loadscreens, cutscenes, and teleports. I believe it may be linked to the fact that my character is also not getting any of the 1.0 storyline scenes I'm meant to be getting; all I'm getting is the 2.0 new character stuff.
To be honest because of this I'm very reluctant to play and so I've been wasting my free game-time doing nothing productive, because I don't want to miss the proper storyline!
I know the server issues are really the number 1 priority right now, but I know alot of people from 1.0 who should be getting the 1.0 scenes, but aren't and only have one 1.0 character so they don't want to play; it'd be nice to get an eta on if the glitch will be fixed, and HOW.

Same here.

As far as I am aware, ALL 1.0 characters are supposed to get the cutscene where they teleport in and walk back to town yes? And all of them are supposed to have the Legacy Tattoo marking them as a survivor, and NPCs should be treating all 1.0 characters as if they remember them somehow or something like that, yes? If someone could answer this definitely, I'd appreciate it.


My character has the same problem. Got the ordinary Intro for a 2.0 character. Tattoo keeps vanishing off of her. I can turn it on and off via legacy mark or by removing my helm via the character screen, and it will now stay on in that zone...but once I zone, it vanishes.

Really hoping they fix this. I want to experience the 1.0 storyline. And I am bloody tired of my tattoo vanishing. :(

Yes, and I believe there is a unique opening to the game as well. For example, when you're asked to register at the adventurers guild you'll get the dialog, "Oh, your name is already in here...how strange." (or some variation thereof). I've actually stopped playing through the main story-line, because I'm missing out on these dialogs; it's not like I can just play again to see them, my one 1.0 char is my only chance. =(

Found this thread in a search, I am having the exact same problem as the OP. :( My Legacy mark vanishes whenever I zone, and I have to use the /lmark command twice to get it visible again, as apparently it doesn't turn itself off, it just becomes invisible. :confused:

It is especially annoying now that "swimsuit season" is upon us! Any word on a fix for this? I like the legacy tattoo but given how often I zone, keeping it visible is too much of a chore.
