I assume this feature also includes ways for guilds to conquer planets by PvP methods?

No, they've stated that the Conquering process will be accomplished via PVE Weekly quests that give points.

There will be a Leader Board and the Guilds with the highest points will Conquer the planet.

They haven't said what planets or how long the 'conquest' will last, though I assume it'll be a week-long thing, resetting with each Tuesday.

For what it's worth, the earliest discussions hinted at the idea of Guild vs Guild PVP between Guild Ships.

If I may play devils advocate, the "conquest" sounds similar to taking and holding buildings in TESO or any other strategic game since Risk(board game) really. I'm glad they're taking the time to do it right instead of piecemeal. Piecemeal never works very well.

Yeah i missed that when i read through the tracker...and well then sadly these additional features are completly irrelevant to me. Including guild vs guild space battles...i can only hope they implement guild wars on ground at the same time...

Yes more info on Manaan please. This is off topic, is there another thread you are refering to?

I actually have 3 questions about the "Transport entire groups to your personal coordinates instantaneously" line.

First, will this transport only the other members in your party, as in the 4 man group, or will it affect everyone in the group up to the 24 man limit?

Second, will there be any safeguards in place to stop someone who is, lets say, pvping someone 1 on 1 in the world from just having the rest of his group tp to him to save him?

Third, will this process be just transport people, or will we get a pop-up? This last one is mainly just to stop people trolling.

Thank you.

This is so exciting. A little push back to iron things out as well as new things to come is welcomed. Great job guys.

Sad part is. Nothing they do with Strongholds can hold a candle to Wildstar housing.
