Any chance we could get a new "Legacy-mark" for the pre-Heavensward Event? =D

I dunno about a legacy type tattoo for players going into Heavensward. I mean you're just getting more game to play, we had a meteor land on our heads.

[Mardel]

What bothers me the most is... I cannot use legacy barding on my new chocobo >_>

Sure I can use my legacy chocobo, but come on SE at least give me the RP option to believe the chocobo companion I bring out is my old Legacy bird. (I don't even RP but still muh feels.)

I forgot I even had a legacy tattoo. It would be cool if the 2.0 players got something before 3.0 hits but I don't think the move is going to be as life/game changing as 1.0 - 2.0 was. I don't even remember that I have that tattoo half of the time. The thing I was most salty about was the introduction of a goobbue mount in 2.0. The goobbue mount in 1.0 was ungainly, you had to change the camera angle around all the time and even then it was still a pain to ride and see where you were going. Honestly they could give away all the legacy items I don't care, da discounted sub though,

[Canadane]

The Goobbue mount wasn't ever legacy-only. It was a limited event item available during 1.0. It's completely unrelated to the legacy campaign.

I accidentally wasted a fantasia trying to figure out how to get rid of my legacy tattoo. Click the wrong button to exit after I couldn't find how to get rid of it.

And being on a non-legacy server, no one else seemed to know what it was. I eventually found out how to turn it off.

Anyways, blah blah blah legacy players are special snowflakes, Heavensward isn't a remake of a failed game, but it'd be nice to see something additional for being a pre-Heavensward thing. Lore-wise, Midgardsormr could decide to brand you with something.

In the end, it's just another thing I'd have to figure out how to turn off.

/lmark off

Not true, my 1.0 Character doesn't have the mark.

Is the character really from 1.0?
If yes, then:
/lmark off
/lmark on

And unequip the body gear, so you can see it

I'll say this,


I supported a horrible game that a lot of people abandoned, and supported about a year of paying for the game when the game honestly wasn't even a fraction as good as it is now. even when yoshi-p made it tolerable, it wasn't worth paying, but 1.0 legacy players supported and believed in him, without any clue who the hell he was.

so no i don't support new tattoos, its not a big deal but i'm pretty proud of that legacy tattoo, and my choco

and the 10 bucks a month


1.0 players are ride and die players.

I'm not even a legacy player, and I agree with him.

We don't need anything, we already have veteran bonuses. Don't crap on the 1.0 riders so you can have your gold star for doing nothing but playing the game. I mean...they didn't do anything either, but seriously, we don't need anything.

[Tiggy]

OP Clearly missed the point of the tattoo to begin with. It's for those who stuck with the game when it was failing horrifically. Not as a veteran reward.

I personally wish the legacy mark applied to characters made on your account, rather than JUST imported characters. I have a legacy mark on two characters but neither is my main since I didn't really want to play on a JP data center at launch.
But that's just me.
The game could use more one-time events though, tbh. Those always attract a lot of attention and are good about giving players something to feel special about. Maybe not something like the legacy tattoo, but maybe a face paint option like the bat one from halloween, or a special scar option. Y'know, the kind of thing we get already, just special for participating early.

Yeah I'm with ya here. My original main was a lalafell, and I wanted to play a Roe, on a NA server . . . and I hadn't even checked my lalafell for the tatoo until recently actually. It would be nice if it applied the tatoo to all of our characters. Maybe in this way, people can see that it's not just people getting rewarded for being loyal to the game, but it's also incorporated into the lore, for good reason.

Even though people don't see my Legacy status, those that are still playing their original characters deserve it, and I wouldn't want to trifle that.

...all that said, I do remember Yoshi mentioning something about wanting the transition to Heavensward be about as big/significant as Bahamut's appearance was at the end of 1.x. Not sure where exactly (can't be bothered to keep track of all the events), but he definitely said something along that line - then again... /point <signature> ...so, who knows what happened to that. I do agree that an item or some such would be nice - for people who actually have been along the ride since launch. That's the only way I see it make sense the same way as the Legacy concept does (which is, yes, I know, different; but the core idea feels about the same, I think).

And uh, excuse you, but whoever said "idiocy"? I hope you'll never again get to enjoy something that was made possible, even if only in the tiniest fraction of the whole, by such "idiots" - try as you want to downplay it, the way the team/company made their respect known speaks volumes.

Don't expect a big primal showin up destroying the realm and the servers get shut down for months until a new FF XIV is ready.
