Hierodule Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm not clear on why you want to conquer a planet. I guess you get mats for your guild to help decorate the ship. But is there anything else for after the conquest has happened? Like you get this flyby and the flyby helps you overcome the buff on the Jedi Commander on Alderan (say) but since you don't get the flyby until after the week is over, why do you want it afterwards? And if you conquer a *whole planet* why are there notices for guilds "controlling this sector"? Will they all have the same control? Is there a way to take sectors back? I have not seen any explanations of the expectations of post-conquest action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hierodule Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Oh, I've read the dulfy stuff. I"m just questioning how it makes sense: 1) a guild conquers a whole planet makes sense. But why do I want to kill commanders on the planet I just conquered when a new event comes out the following week 2) a guild conquers a whole planet: then why are sectors designated as being controlled by one guild or another (why do it by "sectors" at all? 3) should I be assuming that the next week will be the same event and we can try to take Alderan back from whomever has it? If you can quote me where dulfy explains this I'll apologize profusely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewski Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 To drive your enemies before you and hear the lamentations of their women. Slow down there Conan. Don't forget, we want the lamentations from the men too. We are equal opportunity conquerors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calsetes Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 OP has some good questions. 1. When you take over a planet, you're essentially ensuring that everyone on your side of the faction line sees your guild name and knows that if you want a guild to join, they'd be a good choice. If you're not of that faction, then you know there's a hell of an enemy guild out there you should be wary of. 2. When you get these bonuses, like being able to take out the named commander of a force 6 hours before anyone else, that's a boost to help you keep control of the planet. Why do you want to keep control of the planet? Pretty sure there's special vendors for the controllers and, as mentioned above, the free advertising aspect of it. 3. E-peen. When the first two fail, it's all about the e-peen. People tend to think it means something because you did something in a game. It's nice, but it's just what it is - you were amazing at something in a game. Don't get cocky, kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m unclear as to how long a planet is conquered. I guess it stays conquered until the event that involves the planet rolls around again. I had assumed planets would be conquered ONLY for the week following the event. Still not sure why they report conquest on a per-sector basis, if it will always be the same. Maybe this is odd to me because im on a RP server, so my guild does not do open world pvp all over the place *except* for this event. If a guild is into open world pvp in general, I can see the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! This has really brought our guild closer together, working for a common goal. It also encourages trying things your guild may not have tried before, which can only be good for the game. When you own a planet, you have a significant advantage in the next round and in anything you do there.

Brewski Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Since when do people in an MMO need a reason beyond bragging rights? It's a game, and a new type of leaderboard. The purpose of conquering a planet is to enjoy the game and be able to brag about your exploits by having your guild name in bright lights until you get knocked off the mountain.

If a guild is into open world pvp in general, I can see the interest. Maybe they'll eventually break the system up so it's not one guild per planet, and instead have it split like multiple guilds of the same faction owning different sectors, or the top two guilds from each side controls different sectors on the planet. I'm not sure how it worked on PTS, but I can see them only adding more planets, and not "rotating them out." I mean, even spots like Taris have the "no guild controls this sector" notifications, and that's a faction-specific planet. Would an Imp guild be able to "own" the Rep-based Taris and vice-versa? Or would an Imp guild "own" Imp-Taris and a Rep guild own Rep-Taris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hierodule Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 ok, i get it now. Every conquest event has planets that overlap. Odds are the next event will be one that includes alderan, makeb, or voss And actually, since its probably not "total galactic war" in week 2 (that would be crazy), and relics of the gree isn't coming back next week, i'm guessing its either Trade Emporium (uses Voss and Makeb) or possibly the Death Mark (which includes Makeb and a bunch of other planets, including Black Hole which nobody does anymore. I guess we find out if my theory is right tomorrow, or its already disproved because the schedule is published somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
