  1. Congratz to all the winners !! Thanks again to PERC.

    Not exactly sure where my base is in the video, but it's on video 1

    and it's base #7 - I think around the 30 min mark.
  2. Thanks again to PERC for another great base challenge!!

    Just a quick question, how will the winners be announced?
  3. What a great challenge!! Good luck to all the competitors, and HUGE thanks to PERC for putting together another fantastic base challenge. I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone put together.

    Base Transfer

    Supergroup Transfers (Including bases)
    This is something we anticipated and are actively working on, but it likely won’t be ready for City of Heroes Freedom’s launch. We are committing to bringing you this service in the future and it won’t be just to the VIP server, it will be between any server. It will likely require the Supergroup’s Super Leader to actually execute the transfer.

    This was taken from a post by Positron dated 6-23-11. I guess sometimes people don't blow things out of proportion. All the same, nothing ever came of it obviously.

    Base Transfer

    I vaguely remember a mention about transferring bases to the VIP server just before

    it went live, but nothing ever happened with it.
  6. Fun time! Alot of good costumes. Congrats to all the other winners
  7. /signed

    Always in support of individual player housing everytime it comes up. Would like the

    option to choose any zone to live in.
  8. I know this has been requested before, and this is not a game changer, but I'd like to

    not pay base rent anymore. It's not alot, it's just inconvenient. If it can't be

    eliminated, then please make it possible to pay without having to go to Atlas every

    month.

    Thanks.
  9. Maybe I missed it, but when is the problem with base logos getting fixed?? The biohazard logo on everything is really annoying.
  10. Have you tried American Legion?? They have a costume contest on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Atlas. They are always in uniform, and seem to be pretty active. I'm sure if you show up to a CC, one of them can give you info on their group.
  11. I'd like to see sg bases made more relevant by adding a market interface, icon contact

    and have your sg portal work like the train system to tp you to any other zone with a

    portal. Base Love !!
  12. Thanks again for the great contest!! There were alot of really creative costumes.
  13. I like the idea of base builders getting together. I don't think a protest is the most constructive option available. A regular gathering on a regular basis for base related events would show players and devs alike that there are more players out there who are interested to see some improvement to the base system.

    If we, as a community can band together and show that we are a growing minority, and suggest to the developers how improving this system can gain and maintain the player base, we will start to see the improvements we have been so desperately waiting for.

    We have some incredibly talented builders who give tours and supergroups who sponsor base building contests. More of this would, in my opinion, be a more positive approach to the issue.

    Wish List for 21

    I'd like any one thing of existing art from anywhere in the game to be made available to

    the base editor. Just to show that someone still knows that there are bases in this

    game too.

    Double Doors

    No, it's not currently possible.
  16. BlueTurbo

    Bah, let me on!

    The same thing happens to me EVERY time there is an update. It gets really annoying, and there seems to be a different fix each time. One time it was delete some files, the next time it was I had to open "msconfig" and change some settings and re-start the computer. Once I had to start in safe mode then change a bunch of settings. Lucky for me support is good.

Why can't we just use the Blue Pillar in the Entry Room to go to any zone (red or blue side) which has a Base Portal in it and spawn at the Base Portal in that zone ... just like using the Trams and Ferries and Flyers?

    Inside your base, when you click on the Entry Portal, you'd simply get a list of zones (red or blue side) which have Base Portals in them. You'd only need Teleporter Pads and Beacons then for the Hazard Zones which DON'T have a Base Portal in them.

    Limiting the "necessary" beacons to just Hazard Zones like that would convert the Blue Side Beacons list to:
    • Boomtown
    • Crey's Folly
    • Dark Astoria
    • Eden
    • Perez Park
    • Striga Island
    • Terra Volta
    • The Hollows
    With everything else being accessible from the Entry Room Portal inside the base (and still needing the SG Badge to unlock access, like normal), it would be possible to reconfigure Telepads and Beacons such that each Telepad could only support 1 AUX (beacon) instead of 2 ... and still "need" fewer Telepads to access all of the Blueside zones.

    Redside would be even easier to deal with. Since there's a Base Portal in EVERY Red Zone, and no Hazard Zones on Redside, villain bases wouldn't even "need" a single Telepad at all ... until Paragon Studios decides to release some Hazard Zones for Redside.



    This is just one of those "simplify, simplify, simplify..." ideas I've had kicking around in the back of my head for quite some time now. I mean ... we've "merged" all the Trams and Ferries and Flyers together to make zone travel so (trivially) easy now, that you almost have to wonder why Base Travel has been overlooked in that process...?

    This is such a good idea it should have its own thread in the suggestion forum. I wonder if any of the developers have even considered adding this.
  18. I just picked up Chain Induction, and giggled the whole time this group of outcasts were shakin from the shocks.

    Email problems

    I was also having this problem, then last night I tried adding a space between Blue and Turbo (global @BlueTurbo) and it went thru. I don't recall having to add the space before, but it worked when I did last night.
  21. Is there anything new with the base committee?
  22. My first assumption is that the majority of the player base are a member of a group, hero or villain, and that group has a base. So, any changes to the base system will affect, in some way, the majority of players.

    Bases currently offers storage, crafting, transport and a central meeting place. Before bases, players would have to travel to different areas to accomplish what can now be done inside the base. By adding to the functionality of a base, I believe bases can again see the kind of traffic that was around when they were first introduced. Adding an interface to the market, tailor or trainers would be, in my opinion,the next logical step in bringing players back into their base.

    When players start spending more time in the base then they will care what it looks like, and possibly start to ask for some of the more decorative items to be added to the editor.
  23. I feel it would be nice to see a red name post here. To at least say hi, and good job.

    All the nicely worded lists and easy to do ideas don't mean a thing if they don't have the

    attention of someone who can bring it up in a meeting.

    Now u say this guy is crazy i say im perfectly sane but maybe misunderstood thiers not much more the devs can put on this engine thier running the game on, its time for upgrade wich in turn will produce growth then that produces evolvement....just my opion "i think thiers a way for them to make a new engine and transfer all of are active game data to that new engine...... example man going to the moon thier were those who did not believe and said it couldn't happend what im saying is anything is possible if u put the time and money and energy behind it....


    Thier must come a change to this game in order to insure its life span u must contiue to capture the mind of ur players and with that said its all based of imagination people with small minds think small people with big minds think big and thats the difference between walking on the moon or sitting in ur room getting fat smiles
    When does the wizard give you the tiger blood again?

    Winning !!
