DarthDymond Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Very nice, although I feel like we already had a fair sense of what the Sky Palace was going to be like even before this. I know it makes sense to pace the rate at which you release promotional bits for the new expansion, especially now that it's been pushed out a bit, but I'm really curious about what the DK Stronghold is going to look like. That's the only one I really have no sense of. [/beingimpatient] Edited April 30, 2014 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderMid Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What was the point to this video? I get you are trying to hype the expansion but some information would be nice if you are going to do these videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermium Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm really looking forward to it, I'm subbed already. But I can't load a video on your video player at all, video loads just fine on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimG Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Starting here... All I could hear was CM to be honest. Will wait and see I guess. People hear what they want to hear. They've already announced that we'll be able to add stuff to strongholds through a combination of CM, in-game rewards, rep vendors, etc. The room unlocks have a credit cost tied to them.

Nickious Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Looks nice but could have used a bit more information. The carbonite 'decorations' were nice tho. Also these places look massive. Edited April 30, 2014 by Nickious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odonoghuet Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Might be tired and reading too much into it, but did that just say something akin to 'this is the dual faction planet for strongholds' implying either it was recorded before Tatooine was added to the release or the homesteads may be in the faction cities. Also kind of disheartened if the future of Strongholds and guildships seems to still appear as some huge structure from the outside but then if bought at the most basic level might be tiny on the inside. I get that as a subscriber for may 4th we get the basic +5 rooms, so the video is probably accurate to the scope of what we will get but when we own little one rooms of Coruscant and enter it through what appears are the doors of a mansion, or the basic guild ship is a large hall and transport deck, the only rooms in our Harbinger class destroyer, it risks a disconnect.

Probably it was recorded, or the text was written, before Tatooine was announced. More amusingly I swear he said "Nar Shaddaa, known as the smoker's moon..."

ghoul_drool Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Seems to me that they already answered that one... Not to the fullest. There's two possibilities here. Let's go over them. Option 1: You unlock the Nar Shaddaa through your Legacy with credits or cartel coins. Now every character in my Legacy can open their own Stronghold on Nar Shaddaa that each character can customize as they see fit, with decorations that can be claimed (like collections) that are also unlocked Legacy wide. This way, my Bounty Hunter can make a bar/club out of it, yet my agent's stronghold can be totally different, more like a secret base. Option two: You unlock the Nar Shaddaa through your Legacy with credits or cartel coins. You can then decorate it with items, trophies and furniture that you unlock Legacy wide. However, you can only do this ONCE. So each character from your Legacy will walk into the same Nar Shaddaa palace, as you, the player, decorated it, regardless of class. This holds true for every stronghold that you, the player, unlock. They're a shared instance that can be decorated once but will be accessible to all characters on your Legacy. Option 1 is what I hope. Option 2 is what I dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLynkes Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I think you need to prepare yourself for disappointment then. 'Legacy wide, not character specific' seems pretty clear to me. If you can see ambiguity in those words I fear it is entirely the product of wishful thinking. Edited May 1, 2014 by PLynkes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikius Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Very nice, although I feel like we already had a fair sense of what the Sky Palace was going to be like even before this. I know it makes sense to pace the rate at which you release promotional bits for the new expansion, especially now that it's been pushed out a bit, but I'm really curious about what the DK Stronghold is going to look like. That's the only one I really have no sense of. [/beingimpatient] So can we dock our ships in it for safe keeping or will this palace replace our ships?

Prynceton Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ridiculous video with no more information then we already know, and stupid shirt, I HATE EA, pity Bioware is owned by them. No wonder they are rated one of the top worst companies recently for customer service and to work for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKatarn Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So, other than furniture and decorations... can I also place NPCs in the strongholds? Because the video suggests this to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can see ambiguity in those words I fear it is entirely the product of wishful thinking. I'm not agreeing, as of yet. Character specific can also mean the decorations. If I defeat the Dread Masters on my main all characters in my legacy can use the resulting trophy. That's legacy wide, not character specific. It was never said, specifically, that Strongholds could NOT be individualised per character... just that they were legacy wide. Like a Legacy wide character perk to unlock. If you have a quote that's more specific, I'd like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say yes. Early videos showed NPC guards at the door inside the Stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeadmiral Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi, I've a question: do I need to login May 11th to receive the Sky Palace? Or do I just need to be a subscriber, and so can I receive the Palace one or two days later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
