Uber_the_Goober Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So, a pushback, but for good reason? The feature list looks fun. My question - when guilds "conquer" planets, is this a strictly PvE thing? Or are you actually taking over enemy bases, with the inevitable PvP that comes with that?

DarthTHC Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 A push-back combined with some interesting features we haven't heard about and others we asked for? Plus an additional round of thank-you's for subscribers? Um... OK. Here, have some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudenfusz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Can I only place the companions of my character or any companion of my legacy in my stronghold? Also, will we get the option to show just armour also, without anyone has to wear them in our strongholds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never_Hesitate Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The pushback is a bit sad but the announced additional features are more than enough to justify it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question - when guilds "conquer" planets, is this a strictly PvE thing? Or are you actually taking over enemy bases, with the inevitable PvP that comes with that? Conquering a planet is done through completion of Conquest Events, which are PvE Missions. Also, I know this is big news so I am going to be sticking around in the thread answering questions as I can. We probably aren't going to talk too much about the details of each feature yet but I will answer what I can -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Eric, what are the differences between a Luxury Sky Palace vs. a Sprawling Sky Palace, can you elaborate any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danaketh Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Actually, yes. I'll wait. As long as this is to provide us with few more features and deliver content less broken (or even perfectly working), I'll gladly wait a bit longer. Right now I'm really insterested to see this all in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjonxb Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the update and transparency. Very excited about some of the new features and if they need to bake a little more to have a more integrated experience I won't complain. One question though. 2.8 was called the "biggest update to date" is this still the case with this no longer being part of that patch? I would expect that it no longer is but just curious.

Great question! 2.8 will no longer be the "biggest update to date" as we will be shifting Galactic Strongholds out of it. 2.8 will still be great though, we will have more details about it, and the rest of our plan in Bruce's updated Roadmap. We will have that to you guys in the next few weeks! -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARTHJAKA Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Erik could you tell us what can we expect in 2.8 then? I know Manaan is coming at one point so I'm asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apophis_ Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I'm good with that, new features are amazing! I'm especially excited with Tatooine Homestead But I hope those Strongholds are for the whole Legacy, not specific characters. I play too many alts to take care of too many houses...

phat_maban Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you very much for the transparency Looking forward to this update looks like some very cool things in there like the conquest events I for one don't mind waiting for a polished product.

Uber_the_Goober Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Conquering a planet is done through completion of Conquest Events, which are PvE Missions. <snip> Well, yeah, all missions that don't directly involve warzones are "PvE" missions. But I mean, will they be some type of instanced PvE, or will they be held in such a way that the opposing faction might have a chance to "stop" your guild conquering the planet? Like, a mission that happens on the planet itself, and is involved and long enough that the opposing faction could mount some sort of resistance? Or will it have absolutely no cross-faction impact whatsoever (a pub guild and imp guild could both "control" the planet simultaneously) Still looks cool, I'm just curious about this part - because it hints at a backdoor to world pvp. And I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Post EricMusco Posted April 23, 2014 Author Dev Post Share Posted April 23, 2014 So does this mean if we are subscribers by both dates we get two palaces one with 5 rooms and one with 3 rooms or one palace with 8 rooms? What this means is that if you are a subscriber on both dates, you will have one Palace with 5 rooms unlocked. It isn't a "stacking" type of thing. June is a basically a smaller version of the May promotion. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOrb Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Never mind answered above me . Well it all sounds great and by the sounds of it , might actually make me join a guild , heaven forbid and I never thought I would. I'm still going to be my own person but I'm great at helping people. My main 2 friends will have priority though and I will ask them if they are willing to join up with me. Sounds great cheeky monkey lizards , keep it up. Cheers, BadOrb. Edited April 23, 2014 by BadOrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LtGeneralGezlin Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 "Vehicles, Mounts, Pets, and Companion Characters can be placed as decorations in Strongholds" Awesome! I just hope I can talk to my Companions in my strongholds. That would be a nice thing. Especially when I'm recording the Companion stories!

AngelFluttershy Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Do only guilds who are in the #1 spot of planet conquering get the bonus, or do the second and third runners up also receive a lesser bonus? Also, do these bonuses affect other in-game qualities or are they just more of what guild bonuses already consist of (e.g. XP and Reputation bonus)?

justgladtobeme Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Is Nightmare Dread Palace still slated to release on June 10th? Any mention of 2.8 seemed to fall off the list of planned updates. Edited April 23, 2014 by justgladtobeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
