Reno_Tarshil Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Alright so when Wildstar launches and swtor finally has housing. You can compare the features from each one. I can tell just by the way they are talking freeform movement of everything at your housing plot won't be in. Unless you can have a ferris wheel at your stronghold in swtor they are lacking already lol Yeah because having a ferris wheel in an apartment is such a necessary thing.

SaberBladeUK Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have a question about the cost of unlocking other housing locations. We know that capital worlds, Tatooine and Nar Shaddaa will having housing and that Nar Shaddaa would cost 4 million credits to unlock normally. Does this mean all houses will have five additional rooms and can be fully unlocked for 4 million, or will different locations have different number of rooms and different costs per room?

Those are the sorts of gritty details that they haven't gotten around to releasing yet. Expect to see more as we get closer to Early Access, but honestly, I wonder if even 'they' know how many rooms each Stronghold will have. On a side note, I'm increasingly excited with the idea of the Tattooine Stronghold. Mandalorian in design, perhaps? Sandperson cave system? Underground bunker? Something up in the stone spires in the desert? Add in some giant worms in the distance and we can have ourselves some Dune RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanis Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Will conquering a planet be faction specific (1 guild of each faction) or will only 1 guild from both factions be able to conquer the planet? If its the second we might see some world pvp to prevent enemy faction from completing quests (unless the quests are instantiated ) I think they won´t be instanced, I am interested in what buffs those Guild Capitalships can give you. I believe they will mark Areas of a planet with those little assets you need to obtain, beeing the same for imps an reps making them contestpoints. You get points for killing Enemies aka Players and taking objectives, would be the most logical in my oppinion. Whoever hast the most as of Id Resettime gains the planet and some buff, 5% on all stats or something like that and a tittle with a nice ring to it: "Conquerer of Alderaan", "Protector of Tython" and so forth. But what I most want is an ability for guildleaders on a very long cool down to call in support from my capitalship. Something like the Scene in a War Movie were you stand infront of a horde of enemies storming you from all sides and you call in a Nuke on your own position, devastating everything. Guildmembers should receive smaller versions, they don´t get to fire that awesome A - Class nuke but they can call in a bomber squadron or somethin like that:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOrb Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah because having a ferris wheel in an apartment is such a necessary thing. Haven't you heard it's the new L33T thing to have , look at my ferris wheel and all bow down to me. Sir Copperfield wants to be the first to own one. No seriously though can the person going on about Wildstar just stop posting off topic please. If we want to play a dragons lair / banjokazooie MMO then we will do so , not from your stupid rants about it. Cheers, BadOrb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoUniverseBC Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Very excited about this. I'm glad you moved it back Bioware you made a good choice. I'm just hoping 2.8 isn't just NiM DP and the new GSF stuff. At least I hope the second part of the Forged alliances arc is in there as well. I'd imagine 3.0 and the RoTHC expansion won't be delayed as 2.9 comes out in August leaving time for 3.0 in November/December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I will note how interesting it is that the next few expansions will be coming out in the fall and winter, right when that 'other' game is coming out with its latest expansion. I love me some competition in the MMO market. Customers always benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loztchild Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It would be nice and much appreciated if we can have a Live Guild Leaderboards in game for every Server.Maybe have a PVP and PVE (Operations/Flashpoint) Leaderboards aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projawa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does this mean that the Makeb sized expansion due this year is also being pushed back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justbee Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 1st Thx for that information but....well.... 2nd. I understand that u try to inform ur players, a pushback is bad timed. on my server t3-m4 more and more guilds break ppl leaving for other games like eso or ros. games with more and new content. the new features sounds good and they sound like real pve content, but i fear its a little to late. the most players want pve content, but the last op came out 10/2013. now there is nim mode, content fopr 2-% of all players and 2 new tac flashpoints which no raiding player visit that often cuz u only get crap comms and crap gear. the most pve players have no new useful content and thats a prob. u did the same mistake again. i suggest a new small op like toborros yard soon or a nim mode on tobo little easier than df nim. and i suggest hyping with stronghold information to bind ur players and maybe fish some old players back into boat.

Infernixx Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does this mean that the Makeb sized expansion due this year is also being pushed back? Unlikely. They have said repeatedly that they have multiple teams working on different things. What happens with one team's efforts does not effect the other teams' efforts. And, logically speaking, I can't see how patch content could possibly effect a new expansion's release. Unless they come out and say that the level-increase expansion is being delayed, assume that it's going to be getting here in late fall, early winter.

Duniss Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well whit all new stuff housing is looking much better now. Waiting for next roadmap to get info are we getting lvl cap increase this year (mostlikely no not much time to do second expansion this year when stronholds coming on august) I was on a fence whit wildstar now I can try it out and come back to stronholds.

Renea Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The delay does not bother me, especially if it yields a better system. Better to get it built well in the beginning. Especially considering how LOTRO has been unable to do any kind of meaningful upgrade despite wanting to for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maintain my hopes until they give caution that the end-of-year expansion might not make it out in time. Until then, I'll simply assume that things are on track for that expansion.

btmart Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Has it been mentioned if we are going to be able to place things like Crew Skill vendors and item modification stations, as well as all the other things we have access to on our ship if we unlock them into Strongholds/Guild ships? I'm seriously hoping so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glzmo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Great question! 2.8 will no longer be the "biggest update to date" as we will be shifting Galactic Strongholds out of it. 2.8 will still be great though, we will have more details about it, and the rest of our plan in Bruce's updated Roadmap. We will have that to you guys in the next few weeks! -eric You say "it will still be great". Does that mean the sorely awaited chat bubbles will finally be added to the game in game update 2.8? If it's "great" it can only mean that, right? At least in my mind. Edited April 23, 2014 by Glzmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's good to see things pushed back for the sake of quality and features. Hopefully it'll give the developers enough time to also implement chat bubbles in time for the expansion so we can actually socialize and follow conversations in strongholds, guild ships and everywhere else properly in the 3D space. They haven't mentioned chat bubbles at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
