...."The challenge is making the items I want - out of items that were never intended to become - what they are now"

Would my base look as awesome as it does now,if I had real floors to use? Real walls to use? Probably not. I have walls made from the hanging lamps,and I have to say....in my opinion....they look very cool!"

I like the way you think Pyber

Yes AA,I also had problems following the post,looks as if the whole post was somehow duplicated.
I also realized the poster is new to the forums.....so in that aspect..."Welcome"

In light of all that,I was attempting to direct she/he to the many,many posts here that help new folks learn to stack things...like beacons away from walls

As well as informing that there are....[settable SG Rank permissions on each storage bin]...why a few of the requests will never happen....[portals to WW/PvP zones]

My main goal however was to direct him to the many great posts that..[inform,teach,show]... new folks how to create a fabulous and one of a kind base.

Yes,base development is at times a PITA.
I believe all "Base Builders" have hopes of some well deserved love from the Dev's. Perhaps in the future that will happen.

I also truly hope they figure out what a wonderful and popular side game "Base Building" has become.I do not believe they realize how large the Base population has become.

I also offer any assistance the poster may need with learning how to stack and float items.
I am always willing to make a "Base Building Helper" on any server.I have done this many times to help folks learn the "tricks" I also know many others on the forums have done the same.

All I can say.....good luck on this thread.There have been many relating to the same you are asking.Some items you ask for will never happen,such as mission teleport.You get this power by purchasing an add on pack,so...I cannot see them giving it away as many people have paid extra money for it.

The "Mission Computer" was originally intended for a specific mission to acquire "Items of Power" It was on-line for ....oh.... perhaps 4 months.Shut down because of exploitations and bugs.

Some items are already available.Med rez ring will heal you 45% once you earn the badge for the med aux.All storage bins have a permission to take/add that can be set to the desired rank.

The PvP zones do not have portals because of the propensity for exploitation.Nor will you see a WW connection in the base for the same reason.And there is a beacon to Pocket D.

Now,as for placing items on top of other items,it's possible,very,very possible.
I would suggest you look over the main thread topics here in the "Base" section,there are many video's that show you step by step how to float/stack/hang items in the base.

My son once said to me I should get Sims,he said I could build whatever I wanted with proper tools provided.
My reply to him was...."The challenge is making the items I want - out of items that were never intended to become - what they are now"
I guess the point I was attempting to make is...would it be the challenge that it is today?
Would my base look as awesome as it does now,if I had real floors to use? Real walls to use? Probably not. I have walls made from the hanging lamps,and I have to say..in my opinion they look very cool!

So..Good Luck to you in your base building. Be creative! Use your imagination! Experiment! Be patient! Your Base will be one of a kind,not a cookie cutter model! That is something to be proud of!

Yes,I too have noticed this.Looks like I am just standing there.Not a nice look when teamed with others."Hey,you gonna just stand there.You AFK or something"?Hope the fix comes in for this.
Also a new bug came in with the last patch.Notice anything strange with the team window?Seems names of team members are blacked out.Even when all members quit the team,there is a black box with no name and the leader star next to it!

A completely different Video.Has nothing to do with I16.You see, D-R writes and produces.Click on the links in her Sig,read her stories,watch her Video creations.Awesome Sauce.

* Are objectives clear when the Event is running?
Only after Ghost Falcon explained what we needed to do.

* Are rewards being handed out correctly?
Never received a temp power for the zone event,but I am glad to see the ToT mobs dropping rewards,hopefully this will ensure people cleaning up their messes.

* Are there any problems with the event occurring in any City Zone? (Note: The event will only be present In Paragon City or the Rogue Isles City Zones, and not in any PvP Zones, Hazard Zones, Trial Zones or Co-Op Zones)
None that I could see.

* Are there any graphical effect bugs?
Again none that I could see.

* Do banner icons appear correctly on the MiniMap when the event is running?
Yes,I like the way you implemented them on the MiniMap.

* Do waypoints correctly appear when the event is running? (Note: Navigation waypoints of active Missions orient players to the Halloween Event objectives when a player’s character is near one, and should disappear when they leave the area.)
Yes,had a bank mission up and this all seemed to be working fine.

* Are enemy NPCs appearing at the appropriate level? (i.e. a Level 50 should be able to fight side-by-side with a Level 5 character).
No problem that I could see,seemed to be working.

* Are all badges awarded correctly?
Now,this I did have a problem with.I was at a banner with just a few others not on my team.Perhaps a total of 5 people were at this banner.I was using my lvl 50 scrapper,doing plenty of damage but did not get the badge.I did eventually get the badge however in the next zone event.

All in all,I love this new event.
I know some are not happy with the way you have to hunt down the GM,but to me it was like a classic Halloween Scavenger Hunt.(I hope I am not the ONLY one to remember those) Kudos for that idea.
Although I do like the idea of a massive comet/lightning strike leading to the GM.Not sure how easy that would be to implement.And perhaps more hit points,seems he went down to fast for many to reach the area.
I never received any of the temp powers although I did get all badges including the accolade.
The timers could be extended perhaps,as some noted they are on the short side.
Love the look on the new badges,took me a few minutes to figure out which one I needed,but was able to figure it out by looking at my badges and compare them with the navigation waypoint marker info.They are color coded,perhaps some did not notice this as I did.

Looking forward to this years event. Kudos to all involved and thanks to the Dev's and GM's that assisted us today.

These event tests have always been just a few hours.Seems it is actually 2 hours more than it has been in the past(6 hours-compared to 4-hours)
I also seem to remember that there was a second day of testing in the past years,you know,work out the bugs found in the first test.
Hope to see many of you there.

Yes,it is down. So is the store.
Go to "News,Events,and Announcements" on the forum. You will see the posting there from Niviene.
I suggest you do not delete or attempt to reroll a character. As this will affect the ability to use that slot and possibly loose the name until the store is back up and running.

Many of us are in the same boat.I understand things happen,takes time,etc,etc.
However,it seems you would be pushing to have this fixed before the weekend.Well.....the weekend is here and still no fix.
Time to get the whips and chains out and start cracking it

OMG that HAS to be episode 3 PLEASE!!!!
Trick him into an Oro portal , Do it, you know you want to!

Your welcome,glad to be of help to you

I have seen your base pics on the forum,awesome maze.
Hope they take you up on the "Challenge"
Would be interesting to see if they make it out still intact

Sounds like your key binding was reset when you upgraded to the new PC.Same thing happened to me when I replaced my old PC.

Go to your [menu-options-keymapping-on demand mouse look] reset to the proper key you would like to use [right mouse button] Also,make sure you use the "apply now" option at the bottom of the window.

I personally use my middle mouse button,that way I can still use the right mouse button for rotating objects.

Can't wait to see what you put together for the I16 vid.
*waits patiently....runs to see if I16 vid is posted yet....taps foot...waits some more...*

Nice to hear they have been reduced for the newer SG's. Ours has been around for roughly 4 1/2 years ,so we have the majority of the badges.
I would like to see some new badges however,something to add perhaps a WW interface,tailor,AE interface.That would be something useful that all SG members could use.Perhaps they could add in some history badges of some sort to justify the new items.
There are some history plaques that already describe the super groups that were involved in the city,some concerning the rikti invasion.
Just my 2 cents worth

The only time it "locked" the base was if you did not delete the room you used to "trick" the editor after placing the double/triple/quad doorways. I have several rooms with them,and was always able to place new rooms as long as the "trick" room was deleted before adding in new rooms.

Have you tried using the deco lamps?The unlit ones of course.They stack nicely side to side with no gaps,they can also be used to increase height as you can stack on top of them,also with no gaps.
The floor rubble(takes a little practice)makes for nice flooring as you cannot see through them unlike the floor tile. Just be aware of glitching if you stack to many on top of each other.

♫just asking,and wishing,and hoping,and dreaming♫♪Do it and it will be ours♪it will be ours♪♫

I love our Base Building Community! Someone always comes through with the help needed!
Oh and welcome Fruit Cocktail to US forums.Pull up a chair *passes donuts and coffee/crumpets and tea/strudel and beer?*

Your welcome Geni, You did not deserve to be treated with such disrespect.
Your reply to the OP was very insightful,helpful and non judgmental.
It still amazes me however, how many posters actually never read the replies.Instead they skim over and miss what was actually posted.Then jump into the conversation and cause havoc with unfounded accusations.

*Reading Comprehension* it is your friend...embrace it !*

Don't think I have a pic of the contemplation charts, but if you come to Virtue server I can show you one in my base. It is actually very nice,looks like an old wooden footed frame that sits on the floor with a human skeletal chart on it.
