Infernixx Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I saw Secondary White on sale for almost 500k last week. Is that a craftable item? No. It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) The engine doesn't need to support merging objects at all. Infact free placement works just fine in The Repopulation, which uses the Hero Engine. We don't need Bioware to create a vast amount of assets for it to work or for them to do anything special for it. Even if you can see through one side of an object that is fine, some people used that in SWG to create one way view booths in Cantinas and such. We will work with what we have and create more and more interesting things as Bioware add more regular objects over time. THIS IS A CUT UP HERO ENGINE with Bioware's own code. It isnt even the "hero" engine anymore. The repopulation has it. Doesn't mean this engine can or should. Plus we are not considering Bioware's own design principles. They may have very good reason for using large hook areas instead. Edited July 2, 2014 by Arkerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharbison Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) From the twitch stream; Strongholds are attached to planet chat. So if your stronghold is on Tatooine, you will see that planet chat while in your stronghold.you travel to and from any of your Strongholds from ANYWHERE using stronghold UIYou can 'public list' your stronghold which means strangers can visit your stronghold if you're onlineGTN terminal will be available to place in your stronghold. Other kiosks too, but they didn't specifically say which onesYou will retroactively receive trophies from Nim/HM/SM you have already completed to place in your strongholdThe only way to display armor sets is to equip those sets on your companions who can be displayedGuilds can have their own strongholds/headquarters Edited July 2, 2014 by tharbison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernixx Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Man, I really like the level of customization in who you let in and actually having your place be Publicly accessible. Oh awesome, a home-based GTN kiosk... Edited July 2, 2014 by Infernixx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 So.... the hooks can be re sized and the configurations changed to fit what you want to do. But they can't be randomly moved from what I can see. It looks like this customization will allow for an open placement of things. However, it is hardly free form. You can't put mounts on ceilings etc. And you have to place a items on a hook. But since hooks seem to be wall to wall covering every wall too, I don't think it will be much of an issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not a fan of hooks, but the system they've developed seems rather robust. I'm glad I saw the live stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Ah... but I just noticed something that is very cool. The hooks have offsets, so you can move items up, down, left and right from the center of the hook. So... again not free form, but customization is very robust.

LordArtemis Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 IMO hooks is a complete fail. I had hoped to see some kind of combination of hooks and free placement, or at least that it would not be like the system in LotRO, which is what they directly indicated. Naturally that is not the case. It is almost exactly like LotRO with respect to placement of items. Well, this is the second major disappointment for me. Personally I will not pay for my next 30 day, and take a peek at it when it comes out, but it's likely this is it for me. It's really too bad. I wish them all the success in the world.

LordArtemis Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Are you watching the livestream? If not you should, or watch a replay. It looks very good IMO. To me it didn't look really good at all. The ONLY thing that really interested me with housing was free placement, it was the only reason I returned to the game. I'm not saying it's a horrible design, or a fail for everyone.....just for me. Which of course means next to nothing naturally. Just like with GSF I think they made a limiting choice that will limit the overall appeal of the feature. Compared to other new games on the market this is subpar IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Perhaps I am looking at this wrong. Since GSF was a disappointment for me I decided to simply not waste my time (my opinion naturally) with the feature. I could simply do the same thing for this. After all, it does provide legacy storage and perhaps a personal GTN kiosk, so it might have some use for me. I could simply look at it for what it is in my eyes....a legacy storage and GTN convenience feature. To me it is not housing. But perhaps I might be ok with that. I just have to think about it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
