On the Champions Server, I noticed that there are a lot of Stalkers getting into the Hero base and even waltzing right up to the freakin helicopter in Bloody Bay that takes you to Skyway City. That was more than enough to get me concerned considering when I tried the same thing with the temp invisibility power that I got, I got waxed as soon as I got close to the villian base.

Hee, that Temp Stealth Suit is worthless. If an NPC Mob can see you 10 ft away, a PC Villian will have no problem. I stopped buying them. In fact, I want the villians to see me. I want to remind them that the hunters are also hunted. Since with my build I can't outright kill anyone (unless they stick around for a brawl, Kudos to all who do ) I take great pleasure in the chase. Sorry that it irritates some.

Shame on you heroes, we may be villains, but we're still human, most of us at least.

Please don't throw all of us heroes who don't participate in such activities you're describing in the same camp as the bullies and griefers.

As a player and a hero, I hold it to myself that the interior of the base and hospital are safe zones and I will not (heh, cannot either) touch a villian in there. That doesn't mean that I won't destroy the outer turrets or fight on your beach. I could get TP Foe and be a jerk, but it's not in my nature, much less my build, to do that.

If my bounty wants to sit in the base, that's fine with me, I can do other things and get bounty from Hotspots and other Villians. If the villian sits in the base, he's not getting any bounty, prestige for his SG, increasing his reputation, or helping to gain control of the sector. IMO he's just wasting alot of his time doing nothing when he could be leveling that or another character.

Water off my back, I've got bigger fish to fry.

You know Rasta, this persona of being a Crazy, Manic, Kill Everything-Psycho actually doesn't work in any organization, even evil ones. Do you really think that Arachnos would want an uncontrolable maniac doing his bidding? Or that other evil villians that may have their own moral code would want to team with a griefer? IMO, your reasoning that this is a RolePlaying excersize is just an excuse to act like a griefing "jerk".

Getting to the topic at hand, I think the solution to interlopers getting past the drones at the bases is to have them shoot the targets that they see. Give them an uber perception bonus and let them actually take out the base campers.

In SC, I've seen many a stalker jump into the hero base and AS a player, then either jump away scott free or finally get zapped by a drone. Hell, I've seen Quason actually run into the hero hospital, and come out again. That's Craaazy.

And for me, Base Camping is Boring. I'd rather get some bounty at a hotspot and fight the occasional villian there, rather camp the villian base, fight my Most Wanted, only to have him run back to the saftey of the drones. Not Fun

So a perception fix and better placements of the drones would probably solve the hospital ganking problem. Maybe forcefields to stop TP Foeing would be in order too.
