Cities And Housing Archive

In a guildhall somewhere, i think it was either on Tatooine or Corellia, there is a room with a merchant trainer in it, that has a background music that plays in Jabba's Throne Room (In the movies). So background music is already ingame and shouldn't be so hard to have added into the house options.

A thing i've always wanted to adjust is the ability to change the light level in the house, to have it really cave dark with a pair of candles lighting it up or really bright like "The Ranch" on tatooine, that house has an incredibly nice feel to it due that the light in it isn't yellow like most tatooine houses...

And something more that would be cool would be to stop living in boxes and move it up a notch and add gardens or give us permission to add stuff to our balconies add a fence/wall to our houses... Making them more cosey

Dunno if any of these ideas have already been mentioned, didn't have time to look through all the replies...
Will do it later though...

Thanks for reading

• make each house able to hold 5 factory 'modules' (the equiv of a factory like we have now, but limit output hopper to just factory crates and input hopper to just resource stacks, factory crates and the small list of looted components that are used in factory runs) ... also make it where each factory module you install to a house adds to the maintance and power requirement of the house it's self ... and removes 5 items from the max storage the house can have (the items in factory have their own storage limit that is seperate from the house) ... then also have a second terminal in the house for accessing the factorys (that appears when the first module is installed) ... (possibly increase the module limit on each house depending on the size of the structure ... guild hall can hold 15 .. etc) ...


• delivery/mail service. have an option when you purchase something you can pay an extra fee and have it delivered to your house (from the bazaar terminal etc, the seller sets the delivery fee and the option to have an item deliverable) have a set limit of say 25 items that can be 'holding' for pickup at the house ... and have a timer on them like merchants/bazaars have to keep it from being used as storage ... also allow someone to send an item directly to a person (that is on their friends list to avoid griefing possiblities) for a set 'delivery' fee .. and it will go into the 'mailbox' of the house ...


• link the saftey deposit box to the house where a person has declared their residence in ...


• gaming tables that actually work, and can be placed in a house ... (add to the house fee per table that is in it... owner of house receives the additional income that is made from the tables) have credits and/or items given as rewards...


• more options on house layout, there are several structures in the game now that are a LOT better then the current ones we are able to use, make them as options. also add a more specific one for merchants etc besides just the tent,

the list could go on... but there are a few things.

I really like the ideas -Devil- posted. I forgot to mention in my other post that a BIG thing I would like to see is being able to decorate the decks and outside levels of my buildings. The guild halls have a giant outside room but you can't put anything interesting in it so all that space goes to waste. I would almost rather have it be an indoor room than an outdoor room I can't decorate. I also REALLY like the idea of having a delivery box. That way you can make special orders from crafters and have them deliver it to you. One thing I would like to add to Guild halls that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet would be tournement terminals. Something that people could enter thier names in and then ahve a PVP tournement that the terminal keeps track of! I think guild halls need to have stuff that acutally bring the members into it. What use is a guild hall if members have no reason to enter it? Most of them don't care about the guild terminal, they need some reason to go in!! We need to make the guild halls more interesting to members, but perhaps this is somethign I should post on the Guild forums

• All houses (except tatooine houses) had the ability, by arcitects to remodel the floor and walls of a house once the house is up. The walls can only be changed certain colors (naboo have more color options), and the floor can be changed with different patterns and colors. ~No tat houses because they're made out of sand and mud~


• If artitects had the ability to 'redesign' houses, as in put walls in where they want and stuff. That would add great diversity to houses. Add a limit to the number of walls put in, and make a min area so you can't make tight spaces. Make no walls, just huge empty room.


• Ability to have a faction flag hang outside your house, rebel, imperial or other. It would cost FP Daily, like 10 FP/Day. It'd add a great feel to cities. Maybe require the houses to be in a declared city.


• Ability to tilt items (as previously said) or place horizontally or vertically


• New Item: Jukebox-(From TC), except I heard it onlyheard in one room instead of the entire house. Solution: Require speakers to be put in every other room, then connect it to the jukebox...then rock on!


• Make it easier to make colored signs, make a color template and stuff...without having to do the <F#blah blah type thingie


• Be able to place items outside on the balconies




• To do it, I'd make the balcony technically part of the house. Its see through, you see the environment, except maybe not "live", you can't see players/creatures. So since its part of the house, items should be able to be placed on there. IF you're outside the house, looking at the balcony it'd look empty, but standing inside the balcony you'd see the placed items...make sense?

I think thats it, they'd be great changes if half of em went live

As I said before, i've been running a guild for over 4 months now and have come across many structures. Our guild has moved from tatooine, to lok, to corellia, back to tatooine, and now back to corellia (Crazy, isn't it?). Anyway, I must say that I like everything theses posts are saying, I really like the last one I just quoted. Although I don't think it should cost daly faction points for a flag, perhaps just one payment to buy it. Daly payments would end up costing a lot over time and in the end would not be worth it and few people would keep them up. Other than that it looks great, keep up the good work!

I think that I've read that they're gonna add jukeboxes that will be playin music, like a part of the player event perks.

I'd like to see more things that's moving and are interactive. In the mojority of most players houses there's some form of aquarium. Would be mighty cool to have a fishtank, It's ok if they use the textures and stuff from the fishes swimmin around in the rivers and lakes. Another thing would be birds in those nemoidian bird-cages

Yeah, but the jukeboxes only last eight hours. Not even worth the effort. And it only plays in one room.
Leave it to the Devs to take something really cool and turn it into something crappy.
