What would really be nice is a second starship hook underwater so we can place the Fix Up Starfighter or Derelict Spacecraft decos as shipwrecks.
-
I have to agree with everybody else regarding the hook layout. Its an absolute mess and what really irks me is the lack of large hooks with little green ones inside the building, especially at the large room upstairs and the deep water sanctuaries. I actually wanted to make a medical laboratory in one of those rooms and got the medical ceiling lights for it, as well as the various medical tanks. But alas its nearly impossible so it looks like I will place that in my Nar Shadaa Stronghold as well.
Another thing not mentioned is there is only one Starship Hook. It would have been nice if there was another Starship Hook underwater, outside the Deep Water Sanctuary. I was planning to place either the "Fix Up Starfighter" or the "Derelict Spacecraft" deco so it would have looked like a sunken wreck starship. But alas that ain't happening unless the Devs are kind enough to make adjustments.
Nonetheless, while decorating this stronghold will be difficult due to the bad hook placement, I will still be getting it. I doubt I can ever decorate it 100% due to the large placement requirement, but I will at least make it pretty.

Congrats to all the winners and thank you Quintain for organizing this. I think the contest was okay but my biggest disappointment was this.
Well, I just watched the video and I'm a bit disappointed in how little of each stronghold actually got shown, especially mine.That said, I wish all luck on winning.
Whether I win or not, I will be making a proper video of my stronghold to show the entire place since there is literally so much to my Yavin 4. I will likely be making that video on this next weekend and getting it ready to be uploaded some time next week.
The highlights were way too short and people only got to see a fraction of my Yavin 4 stronghold as well (and not my best room, imo). I'm a bit surprise the barracks at the basement (which I thought was cozy), the office, the area with all the spacecraft and tents (with each tent being decorated...I wonder if this was missed), the fight with invading monsters (and debris surrounding it) or the "Church of Kephess" was not featured in the highlights, but instead a room that didn't take much effort on my part to decorate.
I've made some revisions to incorporate a couple of new decos from the recent pack just tonight so I guess its best to really upload strongholds in TOR Decorating so people can really see it (its also publicly listed for both factions). Now if only I can be satisfied as "complete" so I can get around on doing that...
I do agree with the suggestion that multiple screenshots with comments would have been better.
I just had a thought about how to vastly improve your 'finalists' video.Instead of just taking 1 or 2 highlights and video recording that, you should take like 12-16 screen captures, 1 or 2 for each room, depending on the sizes, so that the entire layouts can be seen. This way, each participant's entire entry can be shown. This also allows you to further define what all you liked, disliked, and were indifferent to. It would also give that entry owner some feedback that they can either take or leave.
Once you have all the screen captures, you can turn those into a video-slide-show and add in your commentary.
Anyways, just some thoughts about your review video that may or may not help you in future contests.

Absolutely! Stories and strongholds are what keep me playing. Strongholds alone motivated me to continue playing in-between KotFE and KotET. I feel that there are a lot of small QoL improvements that would please stronghold players, many of which have been mentioned. The fence thing is big, it would be wonderful if we could receive small items like that in multiple. Even just two would be a big help.
More personnel, more rugs, more environment/plants, more obtainable art, more beds! Preferably beds that will match the upcoming SHs.
Also, fewer centerpieces OR more centerpiece hooks?
I really love strongholds in SWTOR, so thanks to those of you who work on it! We appreciate it.
(Also the new event decos are seriously wonderful)
QFE! I totally agree with this one and feel I'm in the same boat. They should also add more Centerpiece and Starship Hooks on the existing strongholds, or at the very least Yavin 4 since there is still plenty of room. We simply have too many decos that are Centerpiece and Starship you pretty much have to make sacrificial choices on which to keep if more cool decos are available. For example, the upcoming pack has FIVE Centerpiece Hook decos, some can probably be large, and one Starship Hook deco that, based on the existing in-game asset, can probably fit a Centerpiece Hook.
-
I too would like a Commemorative Statue of Torian Cadera. He is the only returning companion in KoTFE that has no statue. I dunno why but given there is a new pack coming near the end of the month, maybe the Devs can still add it at the last minute?
-
Sadly it looks like this table is a Centerpiece (based on the preview). Hopefully they would change this to Large because if it remains as it is, the only place where you can place this indoors is in Yavin 4, which is a Sith planet. So if you are a hard core roleplaying Jedi...I dunno...
-
I love the decos but man! 5 Centerpiece decos in one pack???? And even that damaged starfighter, why does it need to be a Starship Hook? That particular ship (seen in Rishi cutscene when you go to the slaver's camp) isn't really that big compared to an Alliance Fighter so that should be the one that is Centerpiece!
I hope these hook sizes aren't final, or maybe they should really add more Centerpiece and Starship Hooks on existing strongholds (especially Yavin 4 that has plenty of space left).
-
I have two nicely decorated strongholds but given the criteria, "something I might find in-game somewhere", I would like to enter one for now. Its an Imperial base with dioramas all over the place.
Queetz's Lair of Shadows at Yavin 4
My Nar Shadaa stronghold, Quazei's Republic Sanctuary, has a bit of sectional themes on it (i.e. Jedi Room, Zakuulan Room, Czerka Room, etc) so perhaps it can be entered in a future contest if this initiative gains traction.
-
I saw the post above and even chatted with some players in-game that was running their agents. Those in-game say their agents were able to progress so I took a leap of faith and completed Chapter X with my Sniper. Like ShadowzGreymoon, I also heard the click and the rewards being rewarded. As a matter of fact, the rewards screen was briefly shown in my screen before the cutscene moved towards Chapter XI. I claimed the rewards and got creditted with the appropriate affection. My companion screen also reflects my character's actions from Chapter X when I examine Kaliyo's.
-
I tried numerous suggestions to work around this bug but my Agent simply cannot get out of the loop.
Reset phase
Press "Play" from Fleet
Delete all mails
I do not want to reset the entire mission as its not fun to repeat.
One thing I did notice is when I successfuly did the mission with my Sage last night, when I entered the War Room the cutscene was automatic. This wasn't the case for my Agent who had to click Lana for the cutscene to appear even when done the first time.
I really hope they fix this bug soon, as this is really frustrating and I really want to move forward with my Agent, including accessing all his companions and doing the Blizz mission.
-
No, resetting the mission will not fix it. I tried, re-ran the mission, and still stuck. I've done all the convo's, got the "to be continued" screen, and even have the mission for next chapter that says not available yet. <shrug>
I finished it on another toon so not a big deal to me right now.
A lot of people suggest solutions here and there but there are many factors as to why they could have worked. One being is if your agent is instant level 60, it won't have any problems.
My agent is stuck but I did this mission with my Sage last nite and it was successful. The main different it seems is when I entered the War Room in my Sage, the cutscene was automatic. For the Agent, I had to click on Lana. So I think if this bug is fixed, the cutscene should be automatic without needing to click Lana.
If you try to reset, wait for hours and relog, reset the mission and so on with your agent, at the end of the day unless you get that automatic cutscene when you enter the War Room, consider your agent bugged with the Groundhog Day loop and the only hope is wait for the patch fix to come.
-
Thanks so much Snakesoul. Its very enlightening to see and I think if the Devs mentioned this earlier, it would have solved a lot of confusion. Given that this deco is best seen when animated, maybe they can add the animations later, similar to how we have it on the Massively Air Turret deco.

I had the same issue and posted about it here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=873323
Mine after trying 5 times in a row and logging out for a few hours then back in it worked. I got all kinds of repeat mail from npc's and checked it all and deleted it before my final attempt that worked.
I did exactly what you did, checked off and deleted the mail, waited for over a day and so on, and it still does not work. So there needs to be more details, otherwise maybe your success was just a fluke.
1) Creation
Was your character created at launch?
After launch but before F2P?
Or after F2P but before KOTFE?
Or after KOTFE? A regular or instant 60?
2) Character Details
Is the character male or female?
Did the character romance Kaliyo or not?
Did the character romance Theron, Lana or Koth?
3) Mission Details
Did the character blow up the building?
If so, did Koth leave you or not?
Did you start the mission before the 4.1b patch or after?
So as you can see, there could be many factors, and until Bioware announces a fix or more players confirm that their characters are fixed, safe to say the bug remains.
I've been playing this game for many years, since launch with an almost non-stop subscription and this is the most frustrating bug I've experienced. Even the various Ops bug, mission bugs and so on isn't as frustrating simply because there are work arounds and solutions. Its just so frustrating when you've invested so much in a game for it to have something this gamebreaking with no acknowledgement or solution in sight.
-
I went to a publicly listed Tatooine Stronghold yesterday and saw a Dreadful Throne covered in sand. I think it was pretty cool. So the environmental effects to some civic decos are not just limited to Yavin.
-
I've been thinking about this and it maybe possible that there would be no more future Strongholds. If you go to fleet where the Stronghold directories are, there is only space for four Stronghold directories, Coruscant (or Dromund Kass if Imperial), Nar Shadaa, Tatooine and Yavin. So if they were to add another one, where would it go?
-
Yeah, its very frustrating as a little acknowledgement goes a long way for some kind of reassurance. My Agent is my first character when I started playing SWTOR at launch. I don't really want to abandon him given the history and all.
-
Correct she is an agent, however when I logged back into the game several hours later I tried it again and it finally worked.
I encountered this bug on February 20th and logged in today after seeing this post to see if its fixed. But nope, still stuck on the loop. I filed a customer service ticket on Feb 20 and got a response to submit a bug report. So after seeing this bug is still happening, I then submitted a bug report. I don't know how much difference this would make, but its very frustrating especially if the Agent is your main, and this being the "Agent's chapter" for KOTFE!
-
I just finished Chapter 10 a few mintues ago on my Imperial Agent Sniper and it won't complete. Chapter 11 - Coming Soon is showing and I got the three emails. Chapter 10 still says "Go to the War Room" so I did. I clicked on Lana, got the cutscenes again, rewatched and still does not complete. But I still got three duplicate emails so now I have six.
I sent it a ticket but I hope this bug will be fixed and those that have this mission pending will have this resolved before Chapter 11 goes live. I will hold off on my other characters for now.
-
I hope Elara does return in Chapter 11. She's my favourite companion in the game and I miss her a lot.
-
I support this. At the very least, please give us a day / night toggle even if its just for the Tatooine Stronghold. I really want to get one but I don't like the dusk lighting. I understand they want to emulate that iconic scene in the movie where Luke Skywalker was looking at the twin sunsets but the daylight setting of Tatooine in the rest of the game is one of the best lighting conditions out there. Its no surprise why they recommend taking screenshots in the Tatooine daylight when submitting outfits in TOR Fashion.
-
This is very good news and should help a lot. I hope these aren't the only QoL improvements that are coming though.
I wouldn't mind more hooks on Yavin as well, maybe even squeeze in a couple more Centerpiece Hooks and (maybe even an additional starship hook somewhere) given the sheer amount of very large decos we've been getting. Plus more layout options for the starship hooks in the Tatooine outside landing pad and the one by the Yavin observation tower.
-
Bioware seems to be listening, which is very much appreciated. Check out one of the new decos from today's pack...
I look forward to getting a few of these soon.
-
What I'm asking is that at least these two models be included, and their Imperial equivalents of course. I'd love for them to be put on a large hook, then we can have more! But I realistically consider them fitting on a centerpiece hook best.
You've shown that you can add these into the game, with the variation of the Liberator in the Odessen base and especially with the Koth Shuttle, a decoration I adore.
Please consider adding these to the decoration lists.
It looks like we got our wish! Check out one of the latest decos from the latest pack....
It is using a centerpiece hook and although I haven't seen it in game yet, it is likely the one from the Odessen base.
I'm so stoked and got some cool ideas on placing a few of these beauties in my Strongholds. I hope we get more properly sized starfighters and shuttles as decos using centerpiece hooks. There are still quite a few of them out there.
Thank you so much for listening Bioware! Very much appreciated.
-
- A single Imperial shuttle for use on a centerpiece hook.
- A single Republic shuttle for use on a centerpiece hook.
- A single neutral faction shuttle for use on a centerpiece hook. (Merc, civilian, etc.)
- A mixed assortment of shuttles from various factions for use on a starship hook. (Republic, Imperial, merc, etc.)
To add to this, can you please offer these ships as decorations as well?
Premium Galactic Starfighter ships
They should all fit in a centerpiece hook with the exception of the VX-9 Redeemer Gunship which is huge, hence should be on a starship hook. Assets are found all over the game, especially on Rishi.
Perhaps a Galactic Starfighter Decoration Bundle to be offered as direct purchase on the Cartel Market...
- A single Imperial shuttle for use on a centerpiece hook.

Maybe you should just leave it and consider it a "feature". I dress up the male companions that I include in my stronghold for decoration purposes for "pool party" attire anyway...
