I think he gave us the appropriate information in his post in the Base Manifesto Thread as well. He confirmed there are plans, and didn't start a Forum War between folks who want this and folks that want that. Or, folks arguing about how it is going to work when it eventually gets here.

I take comfort in the fact that he did say they have Big Plans. That means we are not forgotten.

If you are looking additions for your list, consider the following;

Spiral Staircases, that stack as easily as Safes.

Stair Sets that Stack Period.

More variety in Stairs Period.

If we have to continue Stacking;

More color choices for the Desks. Black would be awesome, and is widely used in Interior Decorating these days.

Give us a complete set of each color in use now, with Book Shelves to match. Now, we have book cases that only match one desk. With several different colors of desks, wouldn't it be reasonable to add Bookcases to match them?

I know, your Art department is with GR, but it don't take nothing to copy Items that exist, and change the color.

I'll keep dreaming.

I agree with you 100%.

Check out the "Base Manifesto" Thread a little further down the Forum, and you will read that the Devs have nothing new planned for Bases in the near future. As much as we all want it, it isn't coming anytime soon.

Agreed, I just started a Mind/Energy, and it's the best Solo Dom I've played. I have experimented with many of them, but this one just seems to be able to handle anything she fights. An all around good choice.

Coupled with the fact that Mind/Energy can completely render an AV helpless with the right Perma Build...

Go figure.

I'm looking to build this toon for Perma-Dom, to render an AV Helpless. I too plan on playing it PVE/SF, LRSF specifically. According to another Thread I've been reading here in the Dom Forum, the Mind/Energy Build is best in the Game for that. I don't want to kill the AV, but render it helpless, so that my team mates can catch a break on a bad pull. If we just so happen to have a very bad pull, and have more than 2 Heroes pouncing on us, I understand I'll have my work cut out for me to render multiple ones helpless.

I also understand that I've got to stay alive to be effective, so Soft-capping Defenses is always a good thing.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cost might not be a factor, as I have several 50's with Inf on them, and three private Enhancement tables with Crafted Procs/Rares/Uniques to sell or use.

Lol, you are one step ahead of me. I see it is posted.

Well, I created my Fire/Fire, and decided quite quickly that I didn't like it, lol. I have since started a Mind/Energy, since a couple peeps here said Mind/Anything is good. So far I'm loving that Combo.

Thanks for all the suggestions, and help.

Once I get a Perma-Build worked up in Mid's I may post it for further suggestions on how it can be improved.

I was aking which Combo's are best because two Members of my SG asked me. They don't care much for using the Forums, even though I have told them numerous times that there is a wealth of Info and Help here.

I'm looking at Grav/Energy because I already have one that is lvl 24, and would hate to have to start over myself. I also have an Earth/Earth I started after I16 but haven't played as much.

However, after reading your responses, I am looking at starting a Fire/Fire.

Thanks

This is the Dom I've been working on, and the Build I have in mind. Let me know what you think, and if there are any improvements I could make.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Was wondering, after all the changes, which Combo is best suited for Perma-Dom Build in PVE?

I know Fire/Psi was the King before, but which Combo works best now?

Thanks for the input.

If you are trying to work on a large raised platform, get one Floor Plate the height you want it, then stack other Floor Plates on it, spreading them out to cover the area you want to floor. It don't matter that they may be overlapping the area you want floored or each other. They will be deleted anyways. It give you a very large and very easy surface to stack on, and all you have to do is get the first one the right height, and slide the others out from there.


Saves alot of headaches with the safes, lamps etc.

Edited: (For Grammar, and to Add)

The Floor Plate being a Stacking surface is the largest in the Editor. Use it to set others for big projects. Makes life alot simpler.

Hi,

Please critique my Fort Build, I believe I have all he bases covered, but want to be sure.

Question:

Are the De-Buffs of the Psi Ranged Attacks effeective against AV's?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I've Solo TOT'd with toons of varying levels during this years Event, and have found that if I'm in the Zone that is appropriate for the level of the toon, it's fun. I've been on Teams with these same toons doing the Banners, GM's, Zombie Raids, and still had quite a bit of fun. Lowest was a lvl 8 Archery/Trick Arrow Corr. I also had success with a lvl 11 Claws/Ninj Stalker.

While Perma-Faceplanting would be a bad thing to happen in any Event, I haven't found that to be the case. Did I die some? Sure, but I survived much more than I died. If it's not a challenge why do it?

My problem with the Events is the repitition. This is why I'm not much of a Farmer. After the 3rd or 4th run of the same Mish, I'm like Okay time to go do something else, I'm bored. After the 6th or 7th time I do something on a toon in an event, I'm bored.

Yeah, the Undo Button is something I've always wanted. It would be an immense improvement.

I usually use some form of the desks myself. I have a Tech Base, so never experimented with the Arcane Rubble you mention. Which desk I use depends on the project, and how I want it to look.

Well, at least he said his is working on some Base stuff, and they have big plans for Bases waiting in the wings.

At least that tells us there are plans.

Thanks Fire-Away.

It seems the idea is there, but the time isn't. Which means they plan to get around to it eventually. As you said, no telling when eventually will be.

It struck me that their answers to the SG/VG Side Switching was going to be an involved process. One where players will have options. There is no telling how that could affect SG's/VG's that presently exist as far as Roster Counts, Activity, etc...

I am glad they are doing more work with Reflective, and Shadow effects, and building it into the game. New artwork for Praetoria sounds intriguing.

Guess we'll just have to keep working with the tools we got, and hope eventually gets here...eventually.

Thanks again to you and Cende, and any other Base Builders folks who attended.

Edited for spelling, and to add:

From what you've said, it sounds like some plans are at least already in the works, but behind the scenes of the Current Plan. Being worked on in spare time by some. We'll just have to see. I wouldn't say the door is 100% closed either.

I look forward to GR though!

Glad to know Cende and Fire-Away are there. Hopefully others are as well. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hi,

We are planning a Hamidon Raid, Villain Side for this coming Saturday; 10/24/09. I will post more specifics as we get this together, but all who are interested please let me know in this thread. The time is not yet set, I will try to post that tomorrow night, by 8:00PM EDT.

We would love to have a good turn out for this, and plan on doing Monster Island in the near future too.

All are welcome.

Furies End,

Black-Strike

I like that you say you like your Bases well lit, but use the Fortress of Solitude, and the Bat Cave for examples of Hero Home Bases.

You do realize the Bat Cave is a gloomy, shadowy, dark place? Bats live in there with Bat Man. Bright light sends Bats into a frenzy.

The Fortress of Solitude wasn't well lit either. It was lit only by the suns rays being deflected thought the facets of the crystals that formed it's wall, and by some of the crystals that actually gave off light of their own. Sounds kind of shadowy, in a multi-colored kind of way.

Anyhow,

I run a SG that has a full Base, and dimmed the lights to the lowest settings. I used the Lighting items to add light to accent each room. It is neither gloomy, or dark, but kind of realistic looking.

I also have a Solo Base, That I call my Home. It is lit the same way.

But to each his own.

Sounds like you need to build you a Solo Base. It takes alot of playing and time, but it is extremely do-able, and rewarding.

Hi folks.

There have been threads in the past where folks have asked for a whole new Base Editor.

To try to draw Dev interest, I guess we might want to state how we would like it function.

(Again)

My ideas are as follows;

Give us an empty squared grid, like we get now, but give us Wall placement control so we can build our own rooms. Whatever size, whatever door size we want. Have it where we have to specify the Function of the room for Item placement. (Tag the room "Control" to be able to place Control items, etc...) It would be nice to be able to click and drag sections of rooms, and "Tag" them to hold different items, or perform different Functions.

Give us elevation features on flooring sections that can be placed where we want them. Double sided. So that we can create thin floors at whatever elevation we want.

Give us Elevation Control of all Items. So that we can position them where we want them.

Give us Angle Control of Items, so that they don't rotate on 90 degrees.

Give us more control of the lighting. The Lighting Items should be adjustible, in lumens and color.

Give us active Water effects.

Please contribute anything you would like to see in a new Base Editor to this thread. I know we are beating the same drum we have beat for years but, hey...we gotta keep trying.

Note: I know all of my suggestions are going to take alot of Code changing, and re-programing. They have said that the Base Editor needed to be re-worked, so that is what this thread is about.

Thanks

Well, LoTG's are reasonable, on the market. I have many stored in Enhancement tables in my base. Sadly I use them on my toons. If you are looking to make a fortune, then you should seek advice at the Market Forum.

The Marketeers will be happy to add you to their numbers.

So it's every ten seconds? Interesting, I was sure someone told me 60 seconds. Ah well, now I know, lol.
