  1. Since the patch I have been having issues with clipping on the cranium sliders too. Particularly in the first slider of "Cranium". The head/hair pieces are not scaling to match.

    So yea, no body really likes these "nostalgia" posts except the person writing it and maybe a few people who wont even read it and I really hate being a braggart like DracX, (you soo know you are), but I do have many fond memories of this world.
    From only playing solo till lvl 20 because I thought people would steal stuff from me, to soloing through my 20s in Dark Astoria using only hover and snipe I didn't interact much with other people in the start way back in 04. It was a real long journey leveling, (It took me 1100 hours to get to 50), since I just soloed and was a blaster but I loved it.
    I remember getting Thunderous Blast, (The electric blaster nuke), and running around only using that. I spent soo much time in Brickstown hitting aim build up then TB and running and waiting. Then I moved on to the freakshow land or Carnie town in Creys Folly. Soo many hours spent nuking mass groups there. That was way before they limited the amount of guys you could hit with one shot. As seen here and here .
    I remember joining the Hamidon Death Squad. My beloved little friends, Retro (Bio-Infection, David-Infection, lol), Pickle, MonkeyButt, Whomping Willow, (Sillyweed), Armored Assassin, Darke Exile, yes Qui-Jon even though he dosent mention me ever even though I was the first to show him the "ninja mission"! I wasnt in the HDS on the first raid I went to but it was the first sucessful raid on Liberty. Here is a pic after we won . And a better group photo, are you in it? Then Joining HDS , Im floating on the left there, or here Im the one spazzing in the air on the left there.
    I remember being fully stocked on ALL Hamidon Origin enhancments and feeling like a God. Sniping from 400 yards with one shot kills. I remember finding the Chimeran mission when everyone was doing Freaks. The "Ninja" mission we called it. They used caltrops so I decided to use Phase shift which still at that point drew agro, to herd them, then quickly unphase and hope not to die before using Thunderous Blast. I would use this to help lots of friends but one day I showed Qui-Jon and he was like, "Why don't I just blast them after you gather them"? The rest is history..Till they took off the agro from Phase shift although the fruit farming may have had something to do with that.
    I have so many other great memories like joining the Smurf Infection SG with Thuggette Smurf till they made me change her name.. To the first time dance emotes where introduced and the boombox, lol, the dance parties.
    Anyways I'm sure you havent read all this cause you're bored and dont care but I just want to say hi and thank you to all the people I mentioned above as well as Kimi Hisakawa, LL Cool Smurf, Rage Kain, Atomicity, Knight Anubis, My dear Pickle, FrigginTaser, QueenImps alot, lol, Sillyweed, Everyone, God I feel like I'm accepting an Oscar...OK I'll stop.

    Oooh, There's me flexing in those old HDS ones. THat feels like AGES ago!

  3. Base Repricing
    1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?
    Greatly! The few SGs I participate in consist primarily of just a few players with many alts. Saving for any sizeable or fully equipped base in the past has been a real challenge, and the new price structure makes our goals seem far more attainable.

    2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?
    Absolutely! I need the moneys!

    3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?
    I'd estimate 10 hours or so, if things go the way I'd like.

    4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?
    The positive is I feel revitalized about the base architecture process, it's nice to have a whole new range of things become possible, when the were so impossible before. The only negative I can see is the timesink in refbuilding what I already had.

    5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?
    Short term, greater bulding opportunities. Long term. perhaps consider base raids etc. Something I never would have considered doing before.

    Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
    1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?
    The salvage racks are small. Also, now there is a conflict of interests when choosing to deposit salvage to the SG. Do you save it for yourself? Sell it for profit? Contribute to building? It will also be a huge burden on the architect to chip in more salvage and inf than ever before.

    2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?
    None at all. If there is a grand plan that will make it apparent why this was even considered, please do share.

    3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?
    Not exceedingly long.

    4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?
    A lack of willingness to deposit the salvage for base use. Especially since all the added consumption from base crafting will cause certain items to be very profitable on the market.

    5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?
    It's very tempting to take out that hamidon goo and sell it for lots of influence. Taking out base salvage before didn't yield large rewards, so there was no incentive to do it.
