Producer Letter – Galactic Strongholds

I vote yes to this or a fleet channel in our strongholds. I do believe they will probably do this , it makes sense.

Cheers,

BadOrb.

And just to be contrary, my characters all hate one another and would never live together. This is why I'm especially glad that the Tat Homestead got added. This leaves only my SW without a place of his own, and screw him, he's a bastard and a half.

Also, Developers, thank you for making companions in Strongholds an OPTION and not mandatory. I don't want to see most of my companions in my home. They can sleep on the ship.

One feature that if it isn there for the current idea for the guild ships that I would love to see...

Guild stores. Basically a place that people could donate items and set a credit price. Instead of the credits going to the person the credits go into the guild bank (or maybe even give options like percents).

I actually think a combination (think tauntaun) where operations drop tokens that can reduce the cost. Additionally
where you may have lots of memebers that may not raid, who can still contribute credits, and those that do raid also can contribute by gaining tokens.

tokens could also be purchased via comms giving those in a guild that may pug into ops still have ability to gain tokens without having to win rolls to gain tokens.

Outright rewards might be a bit of a stretch as not every guild is running NM operations, nor making regular progress on HMs

To all those who are making this possible at Bioware, thank you. The transparency and communication is much appreciated! Although I am disappointed in a pushback, I completely understand and am grateful that at least you are explaining why. The extra features look great, keep up the good work. I'd rather you take the time you need and get it right (bug-free) than have problems from the get go. Looking forward to decorating the stronghold.

P.S. Keep up the newsletters like this, it helps us feel informed.

Perhaps crib an idea from that 'other' game and have the Guild Bank generate 1% of our total income from quest completions? It wouldn't be much, but it'd add up over time.

Very very cool.

•Provide powerful buffs to Guild members from orbit

This scares me..... Please tell me this "powerful buff" will not make its way into pvp.

I would love that aswell.
But ignoring any funding to the guild bank portion.
There are often times that I post in guild chat offering to sell certain items for well below what I could get on the gtn because it would be going to a guildy (i run the guild) things like cartel items, major experience boosts, etc.

Obviously there is the possibility of abuse but no more then an open guild bank.

I can already imagine the lengthy list of required RNG operations boss quest drops required to purchase one.
