SWTOR stream reveals the secrets of galactic housing
Star Wars: The Old Republic has been touting its next expansion, Galactic Strongholds, for months, but the studio hadn't revealed how decorating will work. During the latest livestream, all that changed. Decorators, prepare yourself; it's better than you might think. We've compiled a list of the highlights: Guilds will have both a capital ship and a headquarters. Sitting, lying down, and leaning are not tied to a specific item; they're slash commands. Multiple groups of people (up to 70 on the livestream) can visit your stronghold. You can place jukeboxes (four were shown) in your stronghold for ambient music. Your stronghold can be decorated only by you. Guild headquarters and ships can be decorated by different people within the guild. You can place your starship (among other large vehicles) on the landing pad. There's no rent or maintenance for upkeep. Strongholds can be bought with both credits and Cartel Coins. Dueling is an uncertain possibility. NPCs can be placed in multiple spots around the stronghold. The legacy bank is an item. Twi'lek NPC table-dancing has been confirmed! If you have an hour, the whole livestream is available after the break; otherwise, stay tuned next Tuesday for the Hyperspace Beacon's impressions and detailed breakdown of the SWTOR livestream.
SWTOR's housing, decor acquisition explained
BioWare is revealing more of its Star Wars: The Old Republic Galactic Strongholds content today via a new dev diary. The piece details everything from decorating hooks to the decorations themselves, which will be available as loot drops or from crew skills, reputation/PvP grinds, or the game's cash shop. Unlike previous unlocks, decor is available across your entire Legacy by default. Crafters have some part to play in the process, too, as BioWare says that tradeskillers "of all levels will provide the components required to obtain these decorations."
