I was happy with my redesigned base. Then I came here. Now I shall creep away in shame at my cheap and sopmewhat shabby effort

True, but then again who uses 'pistols' nowadays? Surely 'Dual AK-47' is more apt for the time period?

Tbh I like this idea. I hardly ever PvP because my main is built for PvE and I don't want to change that. Yes I could create a multi-build but the enhancements for it are going to be damned expensive and I am still slotting my PvE build anyway.

Being able to create a PvP character that can only move in PvP zones, has all powers available and free enhancements would create the balance that the devs are looking for. If that were to happen then the people with characters slotted to high heaven with billions of inf worth of enhancements would be on a more level playing field for people like me who still have mostly SO's slotted.

Make the characters level free (i.e. start at lvl 50 or just don't have a level) and then it would be true PvP relying on skill as opposed to BvB where a lot of the time people win purely based on the slotting of their build.

I love the new base pricings - I now have that big base I have always wanted (I still wont use it much but that's not the point!) and I have the Dual Build I need for soloing where I can leave out some powers that are kinda pointless when playing with oneself...

It is safer to do that I agree but it is so annoying when you are expanding to a bigger base trying to put new, bigger rooms in and move everything about while still keeping everything connected together. Thursday night was the CoX Base equivalent of a Rubix Cube lol

I would like to be able to move and delete rooms indiscriminately without the base editor refusing to allow something because it would 'break the continuity of the base'. Surely in editing mode it should allow a lack of continuity - as long as it workd when you click Exit??

Also true Praf - I sometimes do die intentionally either when things are looking bad - or just for the sheer fun of it - it can make a really good looking part of the fire tanks attack chain

How do you get Pocket D beacon?

I think I might go sapper hunting before work tomorrow and leave her in their mesmerising hands thanks again guys

Cool thanks guys - much as I would prefer to get it 'honestly?' it would take years and that is just kinda silly

I put the +stealth IO in Sprint - so if I want it on it doesnt use huge amounts of End and I run a tadge faster

Hi Guys

After much fun milking a cluster of Master Illusionists for their pets and getting the Archmage accolade I noticed I was 19000000 damage into the 100000000 damange badge. Bearing in mind it too me the best part of 30 months to get 19000000 dmg what is the best (quickest) way of getting the rmaining 81000000 needed for the badge??? As much as I love the badge list feature that shows progress I think in this case ignorance was bliss

Same goes for the hold ones too really - as a lvl 50 fire tank what is best was of doing these with minimal death?

Have you:
Re-built your base yet? Yes - it is now HUGE but empty as there is only me in it and I don't need much stuff. Only contains Turbine Generator giving me over 4000 surplus energy, Supercomputer, Medbay and 10 Teleporters to everywhere

Made a Captain America Clone yet? No - am struggling to play new alts at the moment sadly!

Converted your salvage to brainstorms yet? Yes - thought my finger was going to fall off - why not have a 'convert All salvage' button??

Lost a crafted item behind a base wall yet? Yes - so damned annoying!

Petitioned a Captain America Clone yet? Lol no

Converted your brainstorms to salvage yet? Yes - got the 4th crafting badge for it too

Earnt a merit yet? Yes - did Sister Psyche - then swapped them for really poor recipes

Done a boring TF just for the merits yet? No - did Sis Pysche for TF Commander Accolade

Done a dual build yet? Yes but feel gutted I will need to enhance her again

Done a respec yet? Not yet...

Realised you should have done the dual build after the respec yet? No

Decide to not play a character just for the day job yet? I tried and resisted for 30 mins - I love my tanker too much

Oh yeah - I have to agree with the illustrious Mr _Badger - Plasma shield really would benefit you early on with the Hold/Sleep protection it gives - especially against CoT etc

Combat jumping is a good choice as it give you immob resistance outside of burn as well as a small amount of defense.
I'd recommend the fighting pool if you team, for soloing its less important - I'd take if though.

Why not take Rise of the Phoenix? I thought it would be useful to self rez and get on with the fight?

Most people prefer to choose powers that help them survive in the first place. If you go with Acro and Tough it's a tight build so this usually gets dropped.

I love RotP - nobody intends dying, but for those occasions when you do invariably it is at the hands of several enemies who then loiter around your carcass. RotP has a good size blast and stun which will either kill off a few enemies or leave them stunned and staggering while you reboot your shields. Currently iirc mine is slotted with 2 Dmg, 2 Heal and 2 EndMod bu8t I am starting to slot it with the Purple Stun set when I get chance for the bonuses

Flash ftw

lmao thanks

Thanks Kin I can never remember how to do this. However... to turn auto-jump off???

I thought traditionally Valkyries were er... 'larger' ladies... Does this mean we get to have chubby heroes to accommodate the valkyrie theme??

While I appreciate the irritation of some players - I love the changes. With just lil ole me in my SG I have tonight got meself a big-a$$ base with HUGE rooms to run round in cos I can finally afford it. I have no need for worktables or storage because there is only me there so I am gloriously rent free

Although I did find modifying a small base into a big one to be somewhat taxing because of the need to permanently keep all the base 'attached'. Would be much better if you could rejiggle all your rooms and as long as the base 'works' when you are done then all is well with the world!

I only collect badges on Golden - purely because she was my first char and I love badges - combines with the act that I dont play enough or have the patience to collect them all on my other alts. It did sadden me to log in with Goldie who 99% of the time logs out in Wentworths to find she had no time earned towards the badge, yet logged on some of my unused alts to find they had a badge for doing nothing.

I have to agree with Sal - badges are often 'I want it now' rather than 'I will patiently earn it over the course of a year'

Hi Guys

Once again I find myself with a little free time on Thursday morning this time. Anyone fancy running Sister Psyche TF - 5 people minimum needed and shouldn't take much longer than 2-3 hours

We'll see - am sure we can get something scheduled in when you're free

He he he I am tentatively thinking Friday morning... or maybe Friday afternoon - Synapse was good fun and I am sure we could breeze through Sis Psy - only abt 4 'Defeat All' - the rest could be ghosted to the boss...

Cool ta
