WOW...That's all I can say.It is awesome knowing we have such great artists playing CoH/CoV. I have seen such great base designs it just amazes me. To think we have taken an item and made it into something you would never expect to see it used as is...well... genius.
So a BRAVO to all base builders out there. 3 cheers to you all!!

Thanks DR,I have to say the room with the fireplace/lounge is also my favorite room.Glad to know someone else likes it as much as I do And yes,I wish I could make the chaise lounge black leather,but unfortunately all I get is that fugly green/teal color
Just give me a shout if you want to come into the base to check it out.We are on Virtue server and usually on every day of the week.My global is @Jude,SG is "No Drama Inc." and good luck with your film,I can't wait to see your masterpiece

Well,I am getting used to the new forums,just took a bit of time.

Have a base on Virtue that may be suitable for you, It is dark and mystical looking. Here are some pics taken by a friend. http://thefirewithinsg.net/bases/nodrama/index.html

Have you tried entering the other coalitions base? Does the coalitions base show on the list when entering a base portal?It may be possible the coalition is actually broken and just not showing that it is.Try entering the base of that coalition,see if it is possible.

As far as I know,as long as you are on the character that is Super Leader,a GM will be able to contact you,even if you are out doing missions. So go play and have fun,just be ready to enter your base if/when you are contacted by a GM.

Not sure what will happen.
If they were to merge the black market and WW,allow cross trading between factions,then I could see SG/VG following.However,at the moment none of that is possible.
What would happen to all the IO's stored in the SG base that wanted to switch sides? I can see many problems arising from this.
I personally would love to be able to give my widow some IO sets I have stored in my SG base.

Would also be nice if those buff stations could be used by coalition/non SG team members.I am not sure why they are locked to only SG members. After all,team members are able to enter your base and sell salvage/recipes/insps. at the tree of wonder/auto-doc.Why is it they cannot use the buff stations? Mind-boggling.

Nope,pretty sucky forum format.A lot of wasted time and money IMO.

NO,more like a kick in A**

Yes,Yes,I have to admit. I am a sick little puppy
My therapist tells me I must face the truth and tell the world of my sickness so that I may help in the recovery of myself and others.
My therapist is on call 24/7/365 --I have her permission to send all base builders with this "disease" to her office
Did I mention I get a kickback for referrals?

Scrappers do not need buffs.

[/ QUOTE ] I disagree, Scrappers are horrible on teams. They don't bring anything to a team at all.

UUUMMM..folks? you do realize this was in jest? LMAO,some of you actually think he was saying scrappers bring nothing to a team?
Please go back and reread his post.I believe it was meant to be sarcasm

Actually,that was another "bug exploit" There were several SG symbols that were "bugged" and did not show on any item they were placed on,such as banners,tech/arcane tile,glass logo and hologram.There were also, at the same time,SG symbols that would show incorrectly.
Alas,that was fixed in I14 release to live.

You know,funny thing that is irrelevant.
My son told 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"
Yeah..I know..kind of a cheesey reply to him. But 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!

Currently,as far as my knowledge goes.There are no bugs or exploits presently. Double/triple doorways-no longer possible. Stacking/melding all possible without any special tricks involved.
Still not able to put anything in doorways.They look so..plain..unfinished...empty.
Perhaps some year in the far distant future(sarcasm),they will realize the "HUGE" potential that bases hold!
Until then,we make use of what we have and create what we can that was never intended to be.

No,no need to rebuild,just choose the secure plot and place overtop of your current base plot. You will get a refund for your plot you "sell" back

WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Time to stomp some Rikti!!!!

For those negative nellies, remember the first time YOU were part of a Ritki Invasion, or any of the earlier issue invasions? The adrenaline pumping? The vastness? The epic battling? Bombs dropping all around you? Fighitng side by side with your friends, SG or VG?

Well, we have a lot of new folks over the last several months that may NOT have had the privilege we've had!

I'm sure those unwilling and non-desirous of participating can find another zone or AE building to hide in while espousing their ire.

I would imagine that well-played, veteran players would at least have the chutzpah to go the distance and show our new members how a community takes care of itself and the Ritki, especially to prove the words 'can't' or 'won't' are in your vocabulary in taking on a simple challenge, like maybe organizing your SG or VG to muster up members for a few hours of zone-hopping, Rikti Invasion-stomping at the SG/VG level itself, or upping the ante and organizing and taking down a Ritki Dropship during the invasion.

I'm sure the Devs know this is old to us veteran players. We, as vets, can do out part by making this a memorable event for the new players and SG/VG members alike.

The benefits of our actions may get some of the die-hard AE players to 'step outside' of their AE enclosures and try something new, maybe even be impressed enough to join SGs/VGs or try hopping to other invaded zones to re-experience the rush they got in their first invasion, which may be this weekend.

We once were in the same shoes as all our new members are now. Let's not forget those that made the difference in our early gaming experience, especially in unique events such as this.

*this*

I thought most knew about Amy turrning on you when summoned.This has been happening since issue 14 release to live server.
I know that some of us players on Virtue server sent bug reports,however I still have not seen any Red Name posts confirming they know about it

they are the glass SG logo panels,but,they fixed it and you can't have them without a logo now,you should see them in room detail tab,next to the SG hologram thingy LOL

This is true he made no mention of bases.
However, I am waiting to see what happens.
After all, the ability to set permissions on individual storage bins in my opinion, was the best part of issue 14. Yet no mention was made about that until it went to the live server.
Some things get overlooked in announcements like this,or are considered trivial.
I will wait to see what issue 15 brings us

new question.


with what posi said this issue would be a huge overhaul and was just re-pricing.


why are we not opening items/ decorative etc to the bases?

there are a TON of stuff including statues,all the stuff from the giza,fountains etc that would be awesome to have. waiting for a better editor is fine. but really newer items would have been better.

i just want new stuff to add to my base. i dont wanna pvp,i dont plan on pvping in my new cheaper base.

your excluding the pve side of this game and its not making people happy.

just adding new stuff in would have made a ton of people happ-ier

why cant we get the items already "in-game" opened up?

[/ QUOTE ]

wow first day on the job and past my question like i was standing still..

i feel so happy now.

seriously id like my question answered.


why dont you open some of the ingame items that already exsist?

Please, give them time, and stop acting like a spoiled child. Here is some cheese to go with your whine. On second thought I am taking your whine away, I want to see proof of your age.(RL bartender)


They have read our concerns, they have actually acted on our concerns and made many positive changes.

I for one welcome Sunstorm to the Forums. Very happy "Base Builders" now has an "official" Dev.

Thanks for making it possible to get a room refund without tearing my base apart,really do not want to loose my triple doorways.

Which brings me to my next question, will we ever be able to put doorways side by side? This feature(bug) makes for an awesome base layout.

Another concern is with the maximum 18 storage unit per base. Are there any plans on changing this in the future?

edited to add 2nd question

Part IV Upkeep

New Rent is calculated by certain items you have in base.

Enhancement Storage: 100 Prestige
Inspiration Storage: 100 Prestige
Public Salvage Storage: 100 Prestige
Empowerment Tables: 100 Prestige

For each item you have in your base of the above its 100 prestige.

This means the max rent most bases will have is approximately 2000 (as there is no reason to keep lower level empowerment stations aside from decoration)


Vaults do NOT have a prestige upkeep associated with them, so most will truly only see 1900 rent per cycle.

[/ QUOTE ]


The empowerments are actually based on what tier level they are
Tier 1 - 100 upkkep
Tier 2 - 200 upkeep
Tier 3 - 300 upkeep
So to those who like to have all 3 of each type(not neccesary) the tier 3 has all that #1 and #2 have)
It would be 600 upkeep for all 3 empowerment stations x 2 if you want all 6-( tech and arcane)

Plasma - I am seeing Tier 1 empowerment buffs as needing salvage so there is a cost. For example Tier 1 Arcane Empowerment Station has KB protection:
Luck Charm, Inanimate Carbon Rod
Rune, Scientific Theory
Fortune, Mathematic Proof

So I guess no freebies there.

[/ QUOTE ]

The Tier 1 empowerment station costs no salvage to construct. =)

[/ QUOTE ]


I believe they are referring to the cost of salvage for the buff, not the empowerment station
