OddballEasyEight Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Not to be picky here, but won't guild ships be released when strongholds is released? And won't those guild ships work as guild halls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallonee Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Not to be picky here, but won't guild ships be released when strongholds is released? And won't those guild ships work as guild halls? Pretty much this. I thought that was the point of guild ships? Although, if you wanted to gather all your guildmates in your stronghold, I suppose that would work as well.

TheBBP Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Some of us have small guilds with small funds. For a while we might have to run out of the stronghold that I got for free for subscribing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can already invite people to your own ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulyok Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think people would still use fleet for meetings, unless it's RP and/or the guild is really large. After all, LFGs for ops are only available via fleet chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceCorporalDan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'd imagine so. And for other events like parties and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximusRex Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If there is some kind of permission system, like LOTRO has with their housing, where you can allow certain people to access your place while you aren't there, it certainly can be a pretty viable alternative in the short run.

jedip_enguin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Better question, what do you need a guild hall for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Well you can already invite people to your own ship.. Well, if your guild is larger then 4 people, personal ships are useless for that since you can only have 3 people on your ship (normal group size of yourself and 3 others) and if you get punted offline, everyone gets booted off your ship as well.

TheBBP Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Better question, what do you need a guild hall for? Not sure if you are trolling. In case that you are not, generally guild halls are used as a personal place for the guild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienEyeTX Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 But, your other guildmates can enter the capital ship whenever they want to. To meet at your stronghold, I imagine you will need to be there and probably grouped with them. Probably better for an officers' meeting or something.

To meet at your stronghold, I imagine you will need to be there and probably grouped with them. Probably better for an officers' meeting or something. The ultimate goal is to get the ship of course. But in the time being, we are a small guild with small guild funds. If they are putting the value of a 4 or 5 room Nar Shaddaa Stronghold in the millions of credits, I cannot imagine that we will be ready to buy a guild ship. This is why I wonder about Strongholds.

ScarletBlaze Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Some of us have small guilds with small funds. For a while we might have to run out of the stronghold that I got for free for subscribing lol. We have a small guild but what we do to raise funds is the armor that is placed in our banks after a month and no one has taken it , we put it on the gtn and that money goes into the bank. We have been doing that since the beginning and have been able to acquire 4 bank tabs but we are holding off on any more tabs until after the guild ship is purchased.

delobo Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 What we do know is this... There *are* going to be Guild Strongholds along with the Flagship. This was mentioned in the livestream on July 2nd. That Guilds will be able to rename the Guild Stronghold while there will be a menu of selectable names for the individual strongholds. That travel to and from the Stronghold, for either the individual or guild version is going to be fast and convenient. To travel to a stronghold is simply a click on a menu from anywhere in the galaxy and leaving will either take you to your previous location, the current planet, your personal starship, or the fleet. So even guilds using a personal stronghold for their guild will have convenient and easy access to fleet and their personal starships from the stronghold. And the guild will be able to all meet at the stronghold quickly by simply selecting it from their menu. Again, this would be the case for individual strongholds. There are 5 levels of access to the Stronghold... The Gold Key (Your key as the owner, full edit, and invite capabilities)The Silver Key (A level of access that allows the player to enter your stronghold while you are gone as well as give keys to others). *Perhaps given to your guild officers* The Bronze Key (A level of access that allows the player to enter your stronghold while you are gone but they can't grant any other access) *Perhaps given to guild members*Personal Invite ( grants access to a player but only if you are on line). *Perhaps Given to guild recruits*Lastly there is the Public listing which grants access to the public but only when you are online. I think this makes having an individual stronghold and using it for your guild a very viable option. So for those small guilds who have GMs with active subscriptions as of yesterday, and qualified for the promotion... you will be able to use your free Nar-Shadaa Apartment for your guild while you work up the funds for your flagship if you choose. Your guild would have convenient access to and from the stronghold as well you have a degree of access control that makes it so you don't have be online for someone to use it, you can allow your officers to invite others so you aren't a dependency/bottleneck. The Stronghold is also a sleepzone so those that can, will gain rested bonus while in the stronghold. Hope this info helps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
