fatninja Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 About 3 weeks ago, my guild conquered Hoth and last conquest we conquered cz-198. After we conquered cz-198, I went to Hoth and realized we no longer own it. I was then told by a CSR that we only own a planet for 1 week even if it doesn't pop back up to be conquered again. If this is true then this system is completely stupid. This makes all the rewards for conquest even more useless then it already is. We conquer a planet then in the next conquest we really don't get to enjoy it because we have to start conquering the next planet. Why can't we just own it til the next conquest for that planet? It would actually raise the stakes. At first I liked this conquering system but after learning this I don't even care about getting conquest points anymore. Anyone else agree?

PLynkes Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I never cared about them in the first place. Unpleasant grind for very little reward. Not my cup of tea. It's simply an incentive system to get you to do boring stuff you wouldn't normally do. Rather than new content, it is a way to make you play old content again and again. That's fine, it does seem to have invigorated a lot of people, brought guilds together and got them working towards a common goal. I'm not dead against the concept or anything. But it's not for me. For me it's too grindy and the rewards just aren't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zufr Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The information you received was wrong. You control a planet until another guild conquers it. Obviously, it can only be conquered by another guild when it comes up in the weekly list. The reason your guild does not control Hoth is because there was a problem which affected the week one conquests. A hotfix patch was needed during week 2, which required the servers to be reset. When the servers were reset, they 'forgot' the conquests, and went back to the default 'no guild controls this planet' Bioware have since fixed the main issue, so a server restart should not cause the same issue in the future. However, the week one winners were not restored to their planets. As of right now, this affects the guilds that won Hoth and Ilum in week 1 (Voss was up for conquest again in week 3, and has a new controller anyway). As evidence, go to Corellia or Balmorra right now, and you'll see that the guilds that won those planets, nearly two weeks ago, are still named there. CZ-198 is a separate issue. At launch there was no title associated with conquering CZ-198. We don't yet know if this is an oversight or intentional. A thread drawing attention to this did receive a dev reply saying that they were looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all planets are conquested at the same rate, which means that one guild would end up holding their planet for only one week, and others would end up holding it for a month or so. It also would mean that a single guild could control multiple planets. Neither situation would be ideal. One week makes the most sense and is the most fair. The information you received was wrong.

Zoom_VI Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Might want to recheck your facts. Balmorra says "No guild controls this sector". I believe your guildship has to be in orbit for it to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsKNives Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I believe your guildship has to be in orbit for it to say that. You don't need your ship in orbit to invade a planet, nor do you need it to be in orbit to use the Orbital Strike. Why would it need to be in orbit just to show your name on the board?

fatninja Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was directly told by a CSR that conquered planets only last 1 week. Can someone else confirm or deny this? Would love comment by a dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
