I'm not saying it's a horrible design, or a fail for everyone.....just for me. Which of course means next to nothing naturally. Just like with GSF I think they made a limiting choice that will limit the overall appeal of the feature.

Compared to other new games on the market this is subpar IMO.
i agree :;(

Yup. It is right around the corner. Hmm... should be interesting. I almost hate jumping on the PTS to see it as some of the shiny wears off.

Heh.

You know me well enough by now to know that I do not make kneejerk decisions Andryah. But I am also not a spring chicken....when I see something I will not likely enjoy, I am usually correct in that assumption.

I gave GSF a similar chance though I knew I would find it feel short of my personal expectations. I was correct in those assumptions, and I doubt this will be any different.

That does not mean I wish for the feature, or the game as a whole to fail as a result. I personally hope I am in the minority and this feature draws in large groups of players.

I just feel, like before, that is very unlikely. This was not a good decision IMO. Not by a long shot.

It's not that easy. How many times does it need to be said before it sinks in?

I like it. Not a totally free to place system, yet very close to it. A whole heck of a lot better than what I expected them to do with it to be honest. I love that my guild can buy a guild stronghold and I can give people access to modify it. I was a little displeased about the answer to the question of interaction with items inside the stronghold. The answer of...."you will be able to interact with some of the items" was a little bit of a let down. I was really hoping you click on a chair and sit down or click on a bed to lay down. However, it seems they will be like your ship where you can use / commands to sit and lay down. Overall, Im pleased. I didnt expect nearly this much capability to modify the stronghold.

I hope many more disagree. Hopefully I am part of a very small minority.

Ah but by creating such assumptions you are creating a bias. The human brain has a effect known as confirmation Bias. The brain does not want to have its views challenged, and twists what it sees to conform to already held beliefs even in the face of overwhelming counter evidence.

By establishing your assumptions your brain will, regardless of whether you consciously want to or not, twist your experience to match the already held assumption.
