Architect Archive

I would like to see this added, seems easy enough to do, they added custom armor, why not custom furniture??? Not saying we should get a whole flora pattern but basic colors would be nice, I mean we should be able to make the basic couchs and loveseats black, or red, or blue,. or white..... Give us some options folks.....

On the back end of this statment I would also like to add my two cents about Architects and making usable house containers..... I know the Devs think well that would let people hold unlimited items, or at least much more than we intended.....

I would suggest something like this it adds realism, at the same time make furniture more than just show pecies, yet is still balanced enough to make everything work out fine......

1 - Cabinets <sc> Can hold Factory Crates, and Generic Items (say it takes up 10 item slots for the house, but holds 30 of these types of items)

2 - Armorre's <sc> Can hold clothing only (takes up 5 item slots for the house but holds 20 units of clothing)

3 - Tool Chests Can hold Crafting Tools, Crafting Stations, Survey Devices, and Repair Tools (takes up1 house item slot, can hold 10 tools)

4 - Crafted Chests can hold any item, but at only a 2:1 ratio, meaning make it cost like 10 item slots in the house and can store 20 items.

This seems to be a fair system, makes the use of furniture more practical, and frees up house item slots so that more people can decorate in general with other types of furniture.

The other alternitive to the above would be to add furniture item slots to each size house, like small houses get 30 furniture slots plus their standard item slots per the lot size. This would allow people to decorate also, without fear of running out of room for their hard earn looted, or paid for items..... Of course you will have the option of using more furniture than the provided furniture lots, but if you exceed the furniture slots at that time it starts to take away from total number of items the house can hold.....

I personal think that either of these methods would greatly improve the over realism of the game, give more people a chance to furnish their houses the way they want too, while allowing Architects the venue of crafting something that will make them more profit than just crafting buildings for hugh amounts of time and resourses, while earning only the min...... of profit.....

As with anything this is just my thoughts, please feel free to offer yours, I would like to hear them, prehaps come up with something I hadn't thought of...... Peace all see you server side.......

I like most of your points, in fact I love most of them, and was recently thinking up a something like that, but i basically want to hold ALOT MORE in my residence because thats how it *REALLY* is having a 150 item limit in a medium house is retarded, i have nearly 200 items within reach of me in any givin room inside of my current house, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be like that in SWG...

I LOVE CLUTTER

Very good suggestions... I really with we could hue furniture and some of it would actually have a function.

More good ideas from people who want improvment.

Bad news is they nerfed everything (including house items) because the database is broken.
Beta failed and they were looking at many months more dev time. They couldnt do that because
EQ2 and the likes there of are coming out soon. Until they completly remove the database engine
and replace it with a more powerful one, You are not going to see any additions, only nerfs and reductions.

I am not just being a negative nelly here.. Think about it, its makes perfect sence.
