housing got decoration hooks :((

You're not getting it. Without the placement spots, there's no system.

I think this is disappointing

I'm so sorry to hear that you're disappointed. Is there anyone I can call for you? Do you need some time alone?

I actually don't think YOU get it. With placement slots, there's very limited freedom. Nobody needs to tell you where to put things in your house...that freedom should have been extended to housing.

as with everything in this game, nothing will please 100% of the people. We havn't even seen what the full effect will be nor how it will ultimately work, yet people already complaining about it.

As more often then not, people deserve to get what they ask for.

People wanted free form off rails space combat ->got GSF... people complained.
People wanted housing -> getting GSH...people complaining

Granted the people complaining were not necessarily the ones asking for it, nor where they getting 100% of what they asked for. But a large majority want this game to be SWG 3.0 with free form everything and even though thats not what this game is, nor how it works.

Want free form creature creation even though tools are not there and art needs to be created previously, also people will inevitably complain about clipping or other issues as a result of their free from creations.

In the end this will please a majority of the people that screamed for it, and will probably satisfy those that were somewhat against it originally. It will add crafting options (something people have also been screaming for) way to show off armors and trophies (something people have been asking for).

And you have that freedom with the current system.

why you keep defending this? most new mmos got housing with out hooks. maybe you like it easy like this. sure keep the hooks but atlest give ut the option to turn it off and do our thing

Why do you keep attacking this? You plainly don't grasp that without the placement points, there's no system at all.

I'm coming from the City of Heroes SuperGroup base creator/editor angle and I think this SWTOR housing system looks pretty awesome. You have to have some sort of parameters or boundaries, imo. This looks to me to be as much freedom as decorating a house as in The Sims, and that feels pretty unlimited, yet, there's similar "hooks" and restrictions there, aren't there? You can't put a TV on the roof or floor, or a sofa or table upside down or stuck on the wall, but it's never been a problem and never made me feel restricted, somehow. *shrug* jmho

That's flat out false.
