Not sure about that, at least make subbed strongholds being accessible

Interesting

Nice, hopefully with decent cooldowns

Would have been very nice, along being able to sell decorated strongholds on the GTN

Could have been very much welcome as some could really use other's help (ex.: Jack and Eric) to do so especially since you can't rent it.

Lighting can affect the room in some ways but not completely as the room already have natural lightning. So you can’t make a room pitch black for example.
You cannot dye decorations
Would have expected that for a 2014 system

Good stuff, still not as good as GTN and maibox on iDatapads.
And I might be wrong still seems to me we won't be able to organize our stuff in cabinets or chests.

Fleet chat has to be in a different channel so players can select which one they want

This system is more cumbersome than free placement also watch during the vid how they struggled to move the items in the right direction. Note that Jack admitted to have decorated one of the rooms hundred times, still he can't do it right the first time...

Good

Knew it was way too much to ask


All in all could have been nice with the hook system topped by a free placement advanced mode.
Look how he can't even place two chair close to a table in the vid and he can only put large items like 3 feets off the hook.

To me it's clear you'd rather have players leave the game than eventually have messy interiors.
Very sad.

Sorry to be blunt but Jack isn't that much better than you, at least from what we saw in the vids.
Or is it because the hook system is too limited?

Can we expect screenshots from your Strongholds, neatly decorated and resembling the Hanging Gardens?

Why should I? I'm satisfied with what I've seen thus far.

In fact, I'm far more worried than some decorations I'm looking forward to may not make the cut initially, when GSH is first released.

Why don't you test it yourself before you cast judgement.

Well you asked for nice examples, such things need the right tools

Bout the items don't worry, I would be more concerned to know for how much they'll come in the CM now.

That being said a few hints to show where to find some nice stuff in a now extinct galaxy

But then they have to put off complaining. That's simply not an option.

Yeah yeah, same thing happened with the tunnel shooter, I don't see the Biodrones of that time around anymore.

Anyway here's some fun stuff for your eyes: Fett's Vette Another great one clicky.

BTW just you know the author of these vids worked on SWTOR

Meh, the tunnel shooter went practically unsupported. If they continued to release additional levels and new mechanics, it would have been just fine.

That video was ...special. Nice use of the SWG emotes and pretty good VA, but I really can't stand the music. Well, it's sort of music... I don't really see how it was relevant though.
