ScarletBlaze Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If she uses it I will, but I would like to see if she's into it first. There are Escrow that can be purchased but note you need to have the credits in escrow to be able to use it: 600k---240 cartel coins 150k- 80 cartel coins 50k- 40 cartel coins This is under the consumable tab in the cartel shop.

JimG Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Gotta say that I'm impressed with the bonus coins and access features for subs...and the fact that a lot of this player housing stuff can be obtained through credits and crafting. Seems like they may finally be striking the right balance between adding some cosmetic features through the CM but not pushing every aspect of a new feature through the CM. However, I am more than a little disappointed that BW continuously brushed aside all calls for player housing ("you already have player ships...we consider that you're housing"), legacy banks ("they are too hard to program"), and guild capital ships ("that's way down on our priority list") and then these all miraculously pop up out of nowhere. The amount of effort spent on the forums constantly suggesting these things, asking why BW can't or won't do them, ranting about them, crying about not having them, etc. was pretty substantial. Most of that could have easily been avoided. Not sure why they would take this kind of approach with their customers. Maybe there's some research out there for MMO games that shows that customers will like you better if you claim you can't deliver on stuff and then introduce it out of the blue instead of telling the customers that it is in the works and then delivering on it. The whole new species thing has been getting the "we're looking into" brush-off since the Cathar came out and sold like hotcakes. I hope this means that any day now an announcement about a new species is going to pop up out of the blue....because the dev comments have suggested that they haven't even begun working on a new species other than discussing options. So hopefully they are well down that path as well and just being secretive for some sort of surprise announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By downplaying the chances of these things happening, they can surprise the crap out of us in a good way. And if they'd played 'up' the chance of these things happening..and something had gone wrong and they couldn't deliver, then riots would ensue and people would quit the game in despair and fury. Better to be cautious about what you can do until you're sure you can deliver. That's just business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're curious, go check out Amazon's time cards. They're regularly on sale and you can get a good deal on a subscription even cheaper than $15 a month.

RSKeogh Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just when I started to get slightly bored of the current content you release this all I can say is Bioware you have outdone yourself. I can't wait to give my trooper a apartment of coruscant where he can relax after a tough mission. And guild ships just blew my mind. Thank you so much bioware. I think I'll be keeping my sub going for a long time. Keep up the amazing work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelersWay Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Excellent that they are adding the Guild Capitol ships finally. A welcome addition. I also like the Legacy storage - as long as I don't need a "stronghold" to access it. The rest of the junk ... meh. Amazing they can waste that much effort on housing, but can't spend anything on extending class stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryluk_Shouja Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I wonder how many players would buy a home on Alderaan if they became available? Poor investment option. You know that planet's history in a mere few thousand years. I wouldn't touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And better for them to be non-committal about these things. If they say they want to do it, it becomes a "promise." Then, if something goes wrong in development and they can't do it, they "broke their promise," are "incompetent," or it's just a slap in the face. There's a reason why we don't get to know what they think would be cool to do. Just look around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilikaa Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 While this "expansion" will be mostly unused by me, I am still surprised to see what BW is doing with it. This gives me hope that they will actually continue class stories in the future. The players want them and if BW can waste the resources on all this housing crap then they sure as hell can get the resources together to do class stories. Too expensive my arse. If they can go to this kind of level to deliever housing then they can deliver stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which also means, content that was released, at release, already had the direction of faction-based stories following the end of the class-based ones. The decision is as old as the game.

Nmyownworld Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) The player Strongholds look very nice! I'm intrigued. I've been indifferent to player housing. This is my first MMO. I have no reference point about player housing. I was thrilled (still am) when my characters get their ship. Their ships have been their "housing." The video has me curious about the Stronghold. I'm looking forward to them. I'm excited about the Legacy Stronghold Storage. Hopefully, it will have multiple tabs, like the Cargo Bay. Someplace to keep, and access, crafted, Legacy, or unbound items by all the characters on my legacy. That would be so sweet! And, crafting things for Strongholds. I like it! I can't think of an Imp planet other than Dromund Kaas where I'd like a Stronghold. I think a Stronghold on Republic Taris could be fun. Homesteading in the bombed out wreckage. Taking shots at Rakghouls, because I've only killed a few thousands of them, so far. Finding interesting things in the surrounding lands to decorate the Stronghold. Rakghoul skulls. Pottery. Rakghoul pelts. Old statues and artwork. Stuffed Rakghouls in fearsome poses. Maybe some flowers by the front entrance, for a spot of color. Lol.

There will be a much larger expansion coming later this year, closer to December and that one will likely cost you some money to get, even as a subscriber.
