Look in the DevTracker (shows posts by the BioWare team, Keith, Eric, and so on).

Right now, it looks like a "probably not." My goal was to do a stream this week showing off the new Stronghold, but I have been running into some issues with getting that on stream. (streaming issues, not Stronghold issues).

 

If I can get them resolved we may stream tomorrow, but most likely we won't. As some others have said, we really pulled back on our streaming schedule to focus in more on forum communication.

Can you at least post where the stronghold is and the prices please. I know there are rumors but an official statement would be nice.

I'm good with that move. Would be nice to have an "official" SWTOR stream where you guys are playing the game though

How about at least answering the questions people are asking about it? Price? Is the stronghold limit going to be raised?

I echo what others have said about hearing more about the cost and location of the new stronghold in the event that there isn't a stream. And pictures. Lots of pictures!

And, if you can't do a stream, maybe you could record a "Walkthrough" of the stronghold and upload it to the official youtube channel?

MAN, what A great question. Let me see if I can get you AN answer to that .

 

For starters, with 5.3 you can now have an additional Stronghold unlocked (up to a max of 6). Next, pricing:

• Stronghold unlock: 2,500 CC or 2,500,000 Credits
  
• Room 1 - Interior Expansion: 1,400 CC or 2,000,000 Credits
  
• Room 2 - Rooftop Garden: 800 CC or 975,000 Credits
  
• Room 3 - Deepwater Sanctuary (South): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits
  
• Room 4 - Deepwater Sanctuary (North): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits
  

 

There ya go!

OMG....I don't understand why you guys can't add the OPS or WZ dummies to the strongholds. We have a million decorations, BUT no practice dummies?? Come on MAN!

Hmm, that would come out to be... what, a weeks worth of Heroics/Dailies? Pretty good price for the newest (Well... only) Eternal Alliance outpost on *Insert Planet Name Here*

Manaan Stronghold confirmed:rak_02:

That's pretty cheap TBH. Additional question, will you guys be adding new Decorations themed around the new SH to the Basic Decoration Vendor?

Eric how about Guild Stronghold Cost? Also will Guilds ever be able to have multiple Strongholds unlocked? I'm sure guilds would love it especially with how the donate to guild options work within the stronghold system. We'd have some amazing strongholds as guilds to display!

Guilds are normally 3x the price of personal. I know we would like to have an additional one. We have Corscuant and then DK but if we are only allowed one I might talk to the guild leader (hehe my boyfriend) and depending on the design of the new one we might be moving p.

A 1 hour stream once a month would jeopardise the increased forum communication?

I don't buy this, not even for a second.

Wow, figured the SH would be extremely expensive, glad to see it's not that bad. I do always wonder who is in charge of the credits Vs cc when it comes to unlocking. It's never really worth using CC for most of the unlocks, like speeders or cargo bays. I rather spend 2m credits over 1.4k cc any day!

A single cartel pack goes for about 1.8-2.5 m depending on the pack, at least on my server and it generally costs 300cc iirc when there's no sale available, wouldn't make sense if the unlock for the stronghold would be around the same price? I think k a lot more people would be encouraged to unlock for cc as well, how wouldn't this benefit the lads at bw?

Maybe nobody cares, but I think it's worth looking into! Unless quite a few people actually unlock SH's for 2.5k cc instead of 2.5m credits, then my post is completely invalid.!!

What about the Conquest BONUS of the Strongholds?

Will conquest bonus change from 125% to 150% with the addition of the Sixth SH?

If they don't have an hour's (or half an hour's) worth of stuff to talk about every month, then is there really a point to have the live stream? I can't speak for everyone, but I myself don't see a point to viewing a live stream where they just fluff and "hur, hur, Kai Zaiken companion" for a lot of their stream time.

They did that last year during 4.x and honestly, most of the time during those streams was a waste of time since there wasn't much for them to talk about. And, the questions/concerns most people had (lack of new ops), the team wasn't even able to comment on.

While you can make an argument that a live stream is a good platform for Q&A about stuff that is important to us (class balance, QoL improvements, returning companions, where the story goes from here), in my opinion for this game, the forums are a better place for that since Eric or Keith or whoever, can take the time to research/think about their response instead of shooting from the hip with a response.

And, honestly coming from someone (me) who has had to put together work related live presentations , it isn't just the "1 hour" of the presentation. It takes a lot of time to prepare things. You need a script or really good outline, which has to be written. Prepare your video clips, screenshots, and PowerPoint presentation. You need to do at least one dry run. On top of that, you'd need to have your presentation content cleared with whoever is over Keith or whatever approving body or person, probably the same approving body or person who approved the road map. All of this takes time, time that they could otherwise spend improving the game.

Right now, it looks like a "probably not." My goal was to do a stream this week showing off the new Stronghold, but I have been running into some issues with getting that on stream. (streaming issues, not Stronghold issues).

How about a short spash page on the web site giving us some screen shots and features of the new stronghold then? You still do these right? Call it plan B because the streamer is borked.

THAT cannot be too hard to do, and would satisfy most curiosities.

Pictures Eric! We need a few pictures too.

Guild Stronghold cost looks to be 15,000,000 credits.

How many starship hooks does it have? Centerpiece hooks? Can we get some pictures in advance? Video walk through?
