Saito_Hiraga Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Something that SWTOR always needed is to motivate players to visit old planets again at times. Now with the new level sync system we may actually get to see people moving around old planets more often. So why not add some cool decorations to those planets' vendors as well so we can always bring some souvenirs back to our homes. Here's a list of what I have in mind: -TYTHON- Tython Commendations Vendor: -Training Padawan **those padawans lifting rocks with the force** -Jedi Defender (Male) **The jedi you see with the

Capella Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I really like this idea. I'd love to be able to get some reminders of old planets, and I think you've got some excellent ideas on your list! The Thranta Nest idea is definitely my favorite and I need one. I'm a huge Alderaan fan, so some things I think should be added: -banners and flags for the Houses that don't already have banners in the CM (so House Baliss, Cortess, Organa*, Panteer, Teraal) -NPCs from each of the Houses (perhaps 4 for each: one male and female in their combat uniforms, like a guard, and one male and female in House livery like a noble) -those beautiful book reading statues that you see in some of the palaces -you got the thranta, but what about other animals of the kind we see ranging the planet, like vorn tigers? A tame vorn tiger would be cool. -those long outdoor reflecting pools with fountains you see in Organa courtyards *seriously, how did we not get an Organa banner when we got them for Alde/Rist/Thul/Ulgo?

Kulyok Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah. I have like 5000 basic commendations across my chars and no idea what to do with any of them. I got more than enough legacy-based suits and weapons. Buying decorations would be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollexx Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 they don't do it, because they would lose those objects to put them in their packages "cartel market" and charge you money., but i need to say: I support this idea because it would be a great find another use for basic commemorations, and using new heroic (the new system) for certain materials (as in Ziost) and complement the purchase of decorations, of course not it's cheap, you need to do 3 or 4 on a planet heroic (each planet of different materials [as in Ziost]) or even very nice decorations needed ultimates or elite commemorations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monumenta Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 more decos would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeKoCZ Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Why not. If there's the problem of them conflicting with the plans for the cm, just overprice them by 200 or 300 per deco and you're good to go. Which means that whatever you do you can only afford around 10 of them in total from across all planets with a single character (With the current limit at 1k) and unless you have more than 1 character with around 1k comm, you can't just go and buy 99x copies of each. Everybody would be happy, but we all know they will most likely never make it. The assets are all ingame already, so that's not the problem. Problem is, with the expansion just around the corner they're gonna bother only with post 4.0 stuff, everything pre 4.0 not related to the expansion won't be touched for the most part.

Saito_Hiraga Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Everybody would be happy, but we all know they will most likely never make it. The assets are all ingame already That's no obstacle, with the proper 3D Modeling techniques you can easily extract any object from a map in game and convert it to a single object decoration. I know, my career is about this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCobalt Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 A great Idea. Of every thing, person, animal and "Whatever that is", think..only a very small fraction is available however there's always going to people that would want it. Isnt that what Strongholds are really for. More Jedi/Sith decorations. more civilian and soldier guards especially the Canon Favorites (Gamorrians, others) and unique persons we meet through out the missions. I've spent weeks and weeks on single planets to get Reputation items but there's really only a few on any planet even IF it offers any at all. More Decorations Personnel/Decorations(because you already have them). Easier to get and some Functionality to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nempo Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The thranta nest already exists, though the thranta is only like a 3rd of the size that hovers over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capella Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I still love the idea of making these decos available on vendors. Let's use common data crystals to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraejis Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm for this completely. Sometimes I visit others' strongholds to get some ideas but most of what I see are just the same objects over and over in random places, as if just trying to raise the prestige. There's usually no sense of decoration and more of just a storage place or salvage yard. If more themed decorations were introduced and a bit easier to acquire than tons of credits and the hope of getting something good from a CM pack, I think there would be a lot more thought put into this part of the game. Sure the most awesome decorations should be rare or have a high cost but some should be casually available. Just simple things like tables, chairs, beds, lights and maybe even some little decor items paintings or other artwork. All of this themed of course. Themes could include Alderaanian, Corellian, Balmoran, Tatooine, Voss, Ziost, Manaan, Zakuul, etc. There's just not enough of each specific theme to actually do something with. Maybe going beyond planet themes could be spacer and class themes. I mean most of what there is on the CM is a Nar Shaddaa casino theme with some smidgens of others and nothing being usable to completely decorate. Gating them behind reputation and crystals sounds fine to me. Not to take away from the CM, those larger items or rarer items could be bought from there, like those large Alderaanian statues or fountains, Voss meditation circle stones, etc..

Xina_LA Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is a fantastic idea. Adding more decos to vendors, gated behind the least popular reputation factions, would encourage people to go back and explore that content. The more people play, the more subscriptions. The Cartel Market isn't the only way to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capella Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Still supporting this idea and I think it's a waste that we haven't gotten any of this. I kind of wish the defeating the Star Fortresses had given us a shot at this - once we defeat the Star Fortress over a specific planet we get access to a "resistance leader" vendor who provides us with Alliance War Assets from that planet - and that's how we get decos, armor, mini-pets, mounts, etc. Because we've proven ourselves to be a friend of the planet.
