As in "creativity" you mean the abominations of a home many people in WS build? Star Wars is maybe the most "heavy" and iconic IP out there, not a lollipop kindergarten like WS. There must be some constrains in place so that players may build their strongholds cohesive to the lore and the Star Wars universe.
I believe that TOR housing is pretty good implemented. Of course there is room for improvement and it will be so.
Got all my strongholds fully unlocked. I was planning on decorating, but darn Makeb conquest is in the way... spent a lots of credits /grin. Initially I did not want to unlock fully Tatooine and Coruscant, but.... curiosity won....
Working on crafting so I can unlock my ships. There are 2 hooks on Tatooine that you can place ships.
any idea when it will be "released" for the majority of players?
OR you could read the danged thread, use Azaran's referral, get 7 days Subscriber which unlocks Galactic Strongholds and stop crying about "majority" of "unpaying" players.
LOL yeah, that's a clever trick.
Of course it only works if they haven't used a referral before, so he may still be out of luck.

Considering that the only decorations in my Strongolds are legacy sorage and mailboxes... and couple of droids.
Crafting is going to take considerable amount of time and we craft right now for guildship, so we can get some stuff.
Oh well.... I guess I have lots of time to work on all of them...

Hmm, I think we've contracted the same interior decorator... that sounds a lot like what my Strongholds look like. With the exception of my Sorceror who indulged in some luxury and got the Luxury Decorations pack (at the expense of my Shadow not unlocking his balcony for now >.> )

Never played Wildstar but I played SWG so I understand what you mean.
******************************** SWG pre cu - never forgotten.
I recently returned out of sheer boredom (hey, it's free, why not?), and am having the most fun with an MMO I've had in YEARS. I even subscribed, and feel like it's completely worth it.
My main complaint with it was the awful performance on my machine (i7, 660ti... I felt like it should play better). HOWEVER, since the Galactic Strongholds patch, I have had an enormous boost in performance, and couldn't be more pleased. I can't seem to find anything in the patch notes about optimization, but it's really night and day. I am running on ultra settings now, with constant 60fps with Vsync and triple buffering enabled. It's smooth as glass now, can't figure why they wouldn't have advertised that.
Recently returned as well, just a few days ago actually and having a blast.
Haven't subscribed yet but plan to do so soon. Even at early levels there's noticeable improvements. Think I'll stick for a while and I'll sub as soon as I settle for a class to level up.
Got it narrowed down to Trooper and Sith Warrior but having trouble picking between those...

Do both...
When you sub, play one until you run out of rest exp and then switch to other.... thought now we have exp buffs, so it's not as important, but I enjoyed a change. Try playing light side Imp and dark side Rep... it was always the most fun for me.

and I never noticed this little detailed on my smuggler ship
In docking bay I placed Fury... but I start to think about getting Trooper's ship... not sure yet.. Fury sort of does not look good there, maybe Phantom will be better....
And do not try to jump from Cliff balcony... I splatted.... bad.... same goes for nar Shaddaa.
Nar Shaddaa - still working on how to place it.. not happy yet...
Dumped some decorations for now, until I will get something better
My party place in Nar Shaddaa with working Jukebox and Twi'lel dancers.. have both males and females.
Staircases will be a challenge, for now just achievements
And do not try to jump from Cliff balcony... I splatted.... bad.... same goes for nar Shaddaa.

No way. Everyone should do that at least once. It's like an initiation.
And damn those places look great. I need to dig into my stash of old Op mats and actually craft my ships.
Especially after I accidentally crafted an army of invasion forces. *curses for missing that was a stupid x instead of an infinity sign*

I'm just glad to see EA sticking with this title for the long haul instead of abandoning it like they did with WAR when it had a less than stellar first year.
Btw... the first Planet conquest on Makeb was won on my server by The Army of Light... congratulation Reps.
So..... are we Imps too lazy or party too much or just too decadent to win with Reps?,,,,,, Let's do better NEXT TIME.
The Next conquest launches in 14 hours or so......
On my server the Empire won a smashing victory.
Alderaan's dominated by "Spark of Insanity" - a Republic guild. Followed by the Imperial Wolves.
Makeb fell to "PC Gamer Mint Imperials" - The name says it all.
And finally...
Voss got conquered by "Drop it Like it's Hoth" - Another Imperial guild. The vast majority of the guilds that made the top ten are also Imperial ones.

I may not play anymore but I am glad to see it still going and I hope it keeps going for a long time. I did enjoy it when I did play and who knows, maybe I'll return one day, but right now there's this little thing that keeps me from it called life.
Happy hunting and may you blasters never malfunction or lightsabers go dark.
barely have anything in my nar shaddaa one yet. also still need to unlock a couple rooms but in no hurry when i cant even fill the others yet.
ive also found the last boss in the new flashpoint to be pretty tough, espicially if you dont have people in the group that understand if they have the agro and need to move the boss to the fire despite being constantly told ><

Hmm, for some reason Google lied to me when I double checked my facts. Spark of Insanity is an Imperial guild too, just like I suspected.
So the Imps did go three for three on our server. Guess that's why it's called The Red Eclipse. :P
