Stronghold Rating system

[Cobylove]

I think perhaps in addition (or instead) of prestige in strongholds there should be a peer rating prompt for those visiting public listings. When they are about to leave they will be prompted to score the stronghold they are visiting using a scale from 1-10. This rating, from all peers, will be visible on the boards and can help dictate which stronghold they visit. In addition, every stronghold you visit will cost you a small fee (2k to 5k) and that money goes to the stronghold owner. This system will encourage players to coordinate and strategically place decorations in their stronghold rather than placing every decoration down everywhere just to get prestige.

It sounded good until you got to charging the visitors for visiting a stronghold. I own all the strongholds and I would never want anyone that visits my stronghold to have to pay a fee. I have always designed my stronghold with a theme in mind, even at the beginning. Edited January 10, 2019 by casirabit

I think it would be a nice idea, the system does need a revamp, so that those done solely with chairs and trophies aren't the ones that come up first. I don't really need anyone paying to visit, I think that would make people, not visit and the whole point to a lot of people is to get people in to see what they've done and share their ideas. Perhaps, they'll give the ability for a small gift to be given to the owner if they like it, a plant (you can never have too many plants) or something like that. Or if a stronghold gets a certain number of 'points' per month, the game sends them a monthly decoration reward.

I agree on the rating system to help determine who has nice strongholds vs the prestige system. That would be cool however I do not agree with a forced fee to visit a Stronghold.

 

I would never visit any stronghold who had a forced fee. If it was an optional donation and you could donate credits or decos, sure that's fine but never should be forced or required to pay.

I think a rating system would be nice, as well as a way to either leave gifts for visitors or let visitors leave them for you, but it's a hard NO on any fees to visit.

Count me with the 'charging a fee's not a good idea' crowd. I find an optional donation much more appealing whether it's in a deco, credits or even cartel coins though the latter would probably be abused somehow. As it is in games where there's a Foundry for player created content, I will happily donate to content I had fun with. Visiting a nicely designed stronghold and tossing the designer a little something especially if thier work's given me some ideas for my own strongholds isn't much different.

I would like these changes to the rating system:

 

* On the stronghold kiosks

-- Allow us to click any column and sort by it.

-- Change the 100% complete filter to a simple "Furnished" checkbox. When checked, it only shows us strongholds 75% complete or more. (Stop forcing people to get to 100% to make the cut.)

-- Add a Roleplay flag to strongholds and allow us to filter by it.

-- Add a way to filter for PVP-flagged strongholds.

-- Take away the percent completion column.

-- Add a column "RP" and a column "PVP".

 

* Give us a way to Favorite a stronghold, to make it sort to the top of the list.

 

* Give us a way to Request Key from the stronghold's owner, and for them to grant it while we're offline.

 

* When a stronghold is flagged to allow visitors from both factions, always allow visitors from both factions, not just the faction the owner is currently logged into.

 

* Give us a way to issue Legacy keys to our friends, instead of having to give them one key for each of our strongholds.
