PA HALL Item countis number 1 definately... I have (Tatooine)3 floors, 9 rooms, 2 halls, a huge lobby, and of course the balcony that I would love to put a few tables and chairs on.. or some solar generators like the Darklighter residence (Personally I think the generic hall balcony looks like a Landing Pad) But I only have 2 rooms decorated (Quite well actually) and am hitting the cap.
If anyone wants to visit my PA hall is at -2000, -6800 Mos Bahamut, Tattoine, Sunrunner. I have a Squad size meeting room (Seats about 15 with a lovely overheadholoprojector that I constructed myself) and a Guild size meeting room (Seats about 50).
PA HALL Lot Size is number 2 on my list...I had to give up my crafting profession because I couldn't run my own harvestors...
Guildchat stability would be number 3.. no need to explain.
#4 automated guild dues would be nice for those that charge them.. my guild runs solely on donation though...
#5 TITLES and positions!!! I'd like to be able to be able to set everyone's title to their faction rank (if you didn't know you can use /guildstatus on someone to see thier guild title)
=========================================
And now for a few comments
the ability to Sponsor/accept anyone from anywhere would be nice but I could see much abuse with this.. like a new guild leader running around inviting everyone he see's.. so maybe not this feature..
better sorting of the guild terminal.. someone suggested the same interface as the new friends list and I would have to agree...
=========================================
Fight With Honor on Lowca leader here
1) PA HALL takes too many LOTS
2) Guild Chat fails all the time.
3) The Terminal is hard to use
4) Guild Bank is needed
5) Better way to place objects in the guild Hall
I have to agree with the storage issue as well. If I had 9 lots worth of houses and such, I could store a whole lot more than just 250 items. Even with my deposit box, space gets tight when you need to stock pile all those resources that I am pulling out of my one harvestor. I have a guild member that donated 2 of their lots for a small house as a resource center to store all our resources. It helps a little, but not enough.
When I first placed my hall I was not aware of storage being at only 250, and I was planning on living in it along with 3 or 4 other guild members in the basement rooms. But after I found out about the storage capacity, I realized there is no way that we can 'share' the hall as a living quarters. The hall is twice as big at least of a large house, but has the same capacity? In my opinion the capacity should therefore be at 500 items. The lot/storage capacity ratio is just not very good. And with only 1 lot remaining I have no choice but to live in the hall, unless I can kife 2 lots from another member to let me live in a quaint little corellian house.
If the capacity was more than the 250 then I as well wouldn't mind the halls remaining at 9 lots. But it still is frustrating because the hall is pretty much all you can contribute to your lovely PA.
#3 - Placing items in the upstairs open area would be great to see as well. I have a great fountain that would be perfect for up there. But I can't place it, nor any other item for that matter. But, I hear that is being resolved? On the testing center?
#4 - I would deffinately like to see commands given to objects so that you can raise them and lower them. ( a 'z' axis basically ) I have several items that are things that you would find on a table or desk. A set of engraved ink pens looks kinda silly on the floor, don't you think? The only way is to stand on the stairs at the appoximate height of a table, drop the item and then move it over to the position on the table where you want it. And half the time it's still hovering an inch above or below the desk/table, and you have to try again. This gets really painful and time consuming as you start placing several items like this. And that pretty much leaves items on desks/tables on the second floor out of the picture.
#5 - An idea that smaller PA's could have, (unless this has already been taken into consideration, please forgive me, because I am anaware if it has), is to provide optional Guild terminals in the large houses. I think it would be great to have a Tatooine large house double as a guild hall. Sure, you can't place any of those large fountains in it, but it would be more beneficial to the member that places it because it would only take up 6 lots and they would still have 4 to work with. Same storage capacity but with more lots available.
I sure hope these get read and taken into consideration. Keep up the good work.
1. I would like a few extra lots myself. I currently use the big room in the basement as my home and I know I'll be using a lot of the storage there alone. Maybe allow multiple people to share lots? I know there can be a problem if a member quits or something but there could easily be a solution I can't think of
2. Guild Chat needs to be fixed. this is crucial.
3. Rank names not allowed? That caused a lot of problems. We were a pirate guild and the leader couldn't be assigned the rank Captain? **edit**. I had to go by Cap'n
4. in the Ctrl-P tab there should be a guild tab so you can see who's on in your guild without having to add them to your friends list
5. something needs to be done about guild dues
What I would like to see is PA halls built specifically for certain numbers of members. Cuurently, we have but one size, and is very expensive to buy nad maintain. So PA's need either rich members or large number of members. Let's see PA halls for guilds that are small medium and large, and scale it similar to jouses, except they would havea member cap.
While I really like my PA, I have often thought of creating a smaller, allied guild with a specific fuction. With one style of PA hall, which is out of my financial range, that will have to remain unfulfilled.
FWIW, My PA booted the defunct leader a long time ago and had lived under the leadership of "Null' for some time, However, Null's time has finally come to step down.
Using the Allegiance switch, My character was finally voted into the vaulted position of Guild Leader...
How well it's working... well... I'm not ready to go booting myself out of the position to try it..
1. Please Please Please fix guild chat!
2. Automated Dues would be wonderful!
3. PA hall storage
4. Why don't you add guildchat into the spatial window automatically when a player joins a guild? Guild Chat is useless without this feature. So the first thing I do EVERY time I add a member is to walk them through modifying the spatial tab. I have yet to hear of anyone not wanting this feature once they found out about it. If you make it the default they can still manually remove it if they wish.
5. Displayed Ranks, either over the head of the character (preferably) or in the examine window.
