ninjonxb Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good catch Ninjonxb, Subscriber Early Access to Galactic Strongholds is coming as a part of 2.8. As you can see the decision has been made to move the 2.8 date out two weeks from its original target. We wanted some more time to work on that sweet, sweet player stronghold content. -eric Thanks for the clarification. Completely understandable pushing a patch, just wanted to double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I ask is this the main feature of 2.8 or are we getting other big features such as operations? I imagine you'll release more info on that at a later date, but I'm just curious.

ninjonxb Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Guild capital ships? Legacy bank? Too technically difficult, my ewok! This looks fantastic! Is it me, or does the inclusion of the Trooper stuff maybe mean we might be able to replay our class stories? I am wondering if there will be things in the house that link back to your class story.

LtGeneralGezlin Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I noticed that too. It would be amazing if we got to re-view our old cutscenes as 'memories' invoked by clicking trophies in our Stronghold. I would love it, I could rerecord stuff I lost. (Especially after losing half my Consular videos last week.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oofalong Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 In the fine print it says: Guild Flagships and Legacy Stronghold Storage will be available to players as part of the official launch of Galactic Strongholds. The Official Launch is not till August of 2014. Eric or Tait can you clarify that Guild Ships and Legacy Storage will not be coming in 2.8, but rather with the free-to-play launch of the expansion?

Although a feature like this would certainly be pretty awesome, it is not what "trophies" will do in your Stronghold. The video was more to imply that you can earn awesome rewards for your house by killing things -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raansu Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 So are people going to be able to access fleet chat from their homes? Cuz really I see the majority never actually hanging out in their homes and still spending most of their time on the fleet since that is where all the recruiting for op runs and stuff goes on.

OwnerJord Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Any chance of a home on Tython? Or will they most likely start on Coruscant/Dromund Kaas? Edited March 19, 2014 by OwnerJord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannsider Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) This looks great and it has so much potential! It could even fix the useless crafting side of the game I just hope it has a great EQ2 style "put it wherever you want" system rather that a jigsaw based system like some lesser housing systems have... would still be fun but limited Edited March 19, 2014 by bannsider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good question. I assumed "home worlds" meant all the starter planets. Is it just capital planets, instead? So far, from what I can tell, it starts off with DK/Coruscant and you can buy a place on Nar Shaddaa. The fact that we can do that on other worlds gives me hope that they'll give us options to buy more places on other worlds as the game progresses.
