PVPers get tons of attention, friend, compared to bases. JEven though base raids are gone, they have added other things, like tweaking archetypes, adding special PVP recipes and even adding a second build to each toon so that they can switch between PVP and Missions builds.

Okay then, friend. Make the case for us. Don't just leave a sentence denouncing me.

State your feelings and present the need for changes in your own way. This is your opportunity.

Well said, fellow Base Builder.

As to the rest, I may not have gone about stating the case in the way you would, but I believe you share the same frustrations but leave them unsaid.

Base Builders are a much bigger part of the population than you think.

And besides, I didn't suggest they make it an immediate Issue...I suggested it as a long term idea.

And even if they did, it doesn't mean that would be the only thing in said Issue update.

As Lady Arete said:
Truly...how many of us feel as though our voices go unheard? We are treated as though we are not worthy of answers, are we not?

I'll say this: The only way to be heard is to shout loud enough to be heard over the other groups that are yelling for things.

So long as we hold an "I would rather see content updates..." attitude, bases will never get the attention they need.

I'm not here suggesting a boycott or some sort of protest. I'm using the tool (forum) we get by paying to play the game to voice mine frustrations and to give a central location for other Base Builders to speak up.

No one says we have to each do it the same way. But as long as we speak up together, we have a greater chance of being heard.

Turbo is attempting to get things done in a different way, and I respect him for that. I really respect him for it. And I hope he attains success. I'll certainy be supporting him in the endeavor.

I'm certainly not trying to convince people to join me in a cause and support my method over his. I plan on trying every method I can, including supporting his way as well.

The more angles we come at this, the more volume there is on the topic, and sooner or later, it topic will have to be noticed.

Sooner or later, red names will have to speak up.

And also, I want to be clear. This is not a personal attack on any of the developers. As I've already said, we love this game and are loyal to it. But in all honesty, can anyone say the Devs show the same loyalty to the Base Building community in return?

Perhaps the Devs just have not made it a point of interest because the protest isn't loud enough.

I'm not suggesting a rebellion. I'm just saying that we, as Base Builders, need to put aside our fears that if we speak up, they'll take away things like they did to the Base Raiders. Call it fear, call it cautionary reluctance. Whatever.

But as paid subscribers, we have a right to voice any and all frustrations and make ourselves be heard.

As I said, this isn't an attack. It's an open and honest expression of how I feel, and it's a thread for others to voice how they also feel slighted in regard to base building.

The Developers understand this. I have been here since launch, as have many, many Base Builders. Heck, a thread I started is stickied at the top of this forum section because it is one of the hottest topics on the forums.

They will see this for what it is...the expression of frustration on the part of one or more Base Builders. And maybe...just maybe...the right Dev will say "You know what? Maybe we do need to give them more attention. Maybe I should bering it up at the next meeting."

You just never know.

I have a Geoforce 9400 GT 1 gigabyte card...and I tried lowering the settings...it looks like it's trying to fix the issue, but it is so transparent you can barely see the field.

Dear Devs...it's time to give us simple water, at least in single 1/4 tile squares.

If that's the cause, it's malfunctioning, because I didn't spam anything. It was hte first thing I searched for and place a bid on.

This is easy to fix. Stand next to the wall with your back to it. Roll your mouse wheel backward to see inside the wall and simply click on the item. Sometimes you might have to drag and drop it to another room.

Well shoot...I agree...but I figured asking for something that was recently actually in the game might get some sort of results.

And to your list, I would add Octogonal-shaped and round rooms, along with the ability to click and drag the corners of an object for 360 degree angles.
