housing got decoration hooks :((

You gave feedback many many many posts ago. All you have been doing since is doubling down on complaining. A great way to vent frustrations, but ineffective in getting your personal needs met.

Either make peace with it, or play what gives you what you want. They are not going to go back and re-engineer the hooking system for the players who want to condemn their system BEFORE said players even play test it.

Most skeptical players about upcoming housing, myself included, have seen the demos they has presented and like what we see, even with the hooks. Perfect? NOPE... there is not such thing with an MMO. Playing an MMO is an exercise in personal compromise because there simply is no perfect MMO that is everything to everyone.

Sure one might have a vase on it. But what if I don't like the table that has the vase and I want to use it with another table that doesn't have that vase? What if I want to put a lamp on the other side of the desk? What if I want to move the vase to another part of the desk? I can't do any of these things. I am completely dependent on Bioware to create a desk I like with everything on it that I would like in the positions I would like.

Yeah, it sucks that you can't get everything that you want. I can only hope that you can somehow find a way to survive.

I would just like to hear from Bioware as to why we can't do any offsets on the Z axis and why the limit on off sets is in place and if the limit is open to being changed.

I'm not asking them to scrap the current system, I want them to improve it.

I understand the reason for hooks. It makes things easier for beginners or those that just don't want really fine controls. However it is very limiting for some of us. As I've seen you are restricted to certain regions. Yes I watched the whole twitch video. If you want your couch right between 2 floor region you are out of luck.

I'm not say people should be placing couches on the ceiling. The way DCOU does it is after you unlock free placement is cool. Basically everything is divided in to 3 type of placement: Floor, Wall, and Ceiling. So you don't have things floating in space, however that wouldn't be a bad fourth category for SWTOR for certain droids and such.

I suggest have the hook system as an option but let people turn it off and have free placement.

Because you can't suspend items in the air. Because it isn't Free Placement. Because the system doesn't work that way.

Doesn't the Sims use a hook system, and isn't it like...the best housing game ever made?

I will agree that no tiny hooks on tables suck, it seems like something that could be done, but it would take a bit of work to code the hooks onto all the tables. Not sure how difficult it is to code in the hooks onto things, but if it isn't that difficult, it should be implemented later (I assume GSH is still going to be worked on after release).
Heck, I am even willing to wait on getting my Corellia stronghold if we would get tables with smallest hooks possible on them.

I personally like the current system, minus this tiny gripe. Free placement is just a can of worms with people going "LOL I CAN HAZ COUCH ON A WALL"

I pointed that out already but it was pretty much ignored.
And I find it a bit silly that people are upset, even angry, that they can't build T-rex sculptures out of furniture or have a table floating in mid air with chairs as wings.

You'll be able to decorate your home the way you would decorate any real home. By putting the paintings on the walls instead of on the ceiling or the bed on the ground instead of on the wall.

they just want the ability to put lamps on tables..and then complain when things clip/float due to not having any real collision detection and preventing clipping.
