lvl bump for Berserking please

Voluntary.

Have a new option at the Registrar's Office. In addition to: Pay rent, View Top 100, Search SG's... add "Take base tour for participating SG/VG's".

Much like the search SG function, you could select a participating SG or group of SG's.. allowing you a 1-24 hour key to visit their base. It could be added like a Netflix - the ability to have temporary keys to visit 1-3 bases, perhaps even a queu.

You'd still have to enter using the SG base portal door but instead of seeing only your base and alliances in the menu selection screen, you'd have a temporary listing of the SG bases you selected to visit for that hour/day. However, you presence in the base would be like that of a drone observer in an Arena match. You could not interact with the base, use their teleporters, etc... you'd only be an observer. This would eliminate hosting SG/VG's from being used for their teleporters or being griefed by players having strange events or harassing their SG-mates with combatant emotes such as batsmash.

For new people: it offers them a chance to see what recruiting groups have available, styles and function

For roleplayers: it allows more people the opportunity to visit more immersive environments - almost like visiting player-created zones

For base editors & SG Leaders: it allows us to share/exchange ideas without having to be on at the same time

Future Vet Reward - Your years spent in the City/Isles have earned you an incredible repoire with nearly every organization, hero and villain. Each day (24 hour recharge), you are able to summon a nearby entity to assist you and your team. (temp pet would be a random roll going off of the gladiator pets your character has already earned - you'd always get something different).

.. I don't know many people who use gladiators for Arena. This may be a fun way to recycle the concept of earning combat pets.

Supergoups could benefit from more tangible shared goals. In addition to having the Field Crafter accolade unlock a temporary crafting table for the player's character, I'd love to see a physical recipe book in SG/VG bases - one unlocked as anyone in the SG/VG contributes by collectively memorizing recipes.

Here's why:

Right now, it is a long road to unlock Field Crafter on one character. The only people I know who have it are other badgers or SG leaders. To help your supergroup, one has to either be on at the same time or dunk crafted/requested enhancements in the SG base for their friends. It may not seem like a lot of work.. but it really is a fair amount of personal time each time a friend wants to get an entirely new build (not set but entire build) of IO's. It almost feels like a job being the SG/VG crafter. I do enjoy helping others but if you have two hours to play and one hour is spent purchasing or trading salvage, crafting, and trading.. then it just became less appealing to be the designated crafter.

Not to mention that if your designated SG crafter might leave the SG or game entirely. It'd be nice to have a permanent, 24/7 option.

I would love it if SG/VG's had a badge progress bar that would allow everyone to have their individual craftings contribute to a base item. Perhaps a recipe book. Once unlocked, anyone from the SG/VG could create memorized recipes without waiting for time schedules, taking up space in enhancement tables. They'd still have to use their own salvage and influence/infamy. Individuals could still earn their own personal Field Craft item which could be cast anywhere.. just the SG would have unlocked a permanent in-base item that also provides 1/2 the crafting cost.

Plus, it wouldn't necessarily need new artwork. Remember IOP's? Items of Power. One was a huge floating book. Think of it as an earned upgrade to the base craft desk - a Tier 2 if you will.

It'd be nice to bring back IOP items in different ways, as new things for the group to unlock together in the same way Combat Logs, large energy generators, etc are unlocked.

Hot dog. As of last night, I'm all done with my villain dayjobs and badges as well. Nothing to do on Exotica now but eat candy canes and laze around Cap au's market.

Welcome to Virtue, Corundumite. I hope you enjoy everything this community has to offer, especially redside! Virtue is like my homestate of Texas; even the villains are mighty friendly!!! :P

We're probably the best server for villain teams so if you moved over Chronicold, one of our bonding rituals is the infamous redside Hamidon raiding. I hear from folks on other servers who visit just to get that notch on their belt.

We'll see you around. <leaves the obligatory shiny toaster>

Green is pretty joyful too. <wink wink> <grin>

Figured I'd sign up as a villain before I forget.. Stoopid Heroes! It's a Rikti Trap! We'll have to go in and take care of this before you all get your tights bunched up in yer booties.

Optional - [X] Yes! I am willing to lead a squadron if asked.

Wish they'd open it soon. I have it on good authority that there's better booze in their lodge bar.

Beep beep.

Sowwy. Too lazy to update my siggy.

Almost forgot the screenies!!! =) I didn't get many.. too busy typing "Pew pew pew!"

An overhead of the early formation of teams. That's me, center dot five rows from the second parking space...

From my perch, I noticed drums in the distance. We pretty much occupied the whole darn street.. =P Scuttled over and got a shot of the Drums of War!

A good clean shot of one of our first ships.

As opposed to a messy, fuzzy, awkward shot of a different ship!

We had our targeters on a conference call with one another so they were able to count up the tallies between them per zone. At some point, I sent an email from my villain self to my hero self. 28! Take that! &lt;grins&gt; I look forward to tomorrow night and seeing heroes match that. Let's put it this way, if our heroes hit 29 with or without challenges, as a server we will beat our last years run of 41 total ships. Never forget, unity in all things. &lt;salute&gt;

This game sucks. I should have made a tickle the poster above you deal to help pass the days until showtime. :P

&lt;grins&gt; You're worse at this game than you are at PvP, Cap.

OK, what do you want to take away from? :P

I'm having difficulties with my other log-in. &lt; Ara

Spice! Would love to have you. I'll list you villainside when I can get my other forum name to work. Most likely will need you to pick up people hero-side as well. Planning estimates are always low as we've always had more bodies on mini-events such as this than anticipated. Even when we ballpark high, it's still higher than that at the end. The only thing that bites is we always have more "lft - sorry, I don't like to star" than folks willing to take the star and quickly fill. At any rate, woot! We have you in our clutches now.. muahahaha.

Knight! Technically, the way the game works, you're the hottie being healed :P The play it in forum games. So like they'll list 7 people and each poster has to add one point to a name by subtracting a point from another until there is only one name left with any equity. I gave you ten points to pick at Xero because he luvsss eet.

We should start a fresh game now...

What event would you like to see next? Add a point to the one you prefer and subtract a point from the one you'd rather nap through. All events start at 5 points.

I even listen to songs when I'm bored and chillaxing in The D yo, jo bronny.

I hate the background noise in the D, and even though I have in-game music turned off, I can't seem to tune out the background beat in the D without just muting the game.

Eh. Maybe try something like this if it helps?

have stopped and written down the song to download the song for later.

Writing and downloading takes too much of my egotistical "me" time when playing villainside. Though I will alt-tab and youTube if it's an exceptional bio. Or.. if it' some super freaky were-angel.

The Angry Angels and Jaded Angels guildportal sites will be cancelled soon so that we can move to a new, combined, sleeker, ultra-nifty supersite. We currently have several videos from friends, members, and our official SG/VG video director - Ravenlore. Just wanted to provide the direct links to her most popular videos. Not all of her work is SG-related but every one makes me grin like mad. Her comedy pieces crack me up. I'm sure she left an impression that Halloween night. =)

Ravenlore:

Fall of an Angel
Return of an Angel

Ashes to Ashes (Won: Best Villain Video/w00t Radio contest)
How to Win a Costume Contest - 101 (Satire)

Whatever. All that room and your beloved sister doesn't even get her -own- room...

Also, lies and fabrications. "Seats 1000+". You never ever ever ever let me sit on the furniture. No one sits there. No one. How did you count? Huh?

I hate you... &lt;runs into teleport bay 42 and slams the air vac door shut&gt;.

&lt;muffled, distant cry&gt; I .. hate.. you...

This would only cap super-awesomesauce levels if you let us all play at your house.

&lt;gasp&gt; It's never a big deal from me.. is it because I drink at the D all day? &lt;winks&gt;

Babe, you make the best videos. Sometimes I watch them instead of running TF missions. My team doesn't notice and pocket D drinktinis make the colors stand out..
