Are the developers going to box our characters in the event they come out with City of Heroes in the future. Will we be able to save our characters? Will our accounts be archived?

Looking to trade base ownership for infamy.

SG name is Guyver Consortium
Server is Protector
Prestige in the group is 65,945,323

I am the only owner in the base and will trade ownership once infamy is sent to global @CobraLord

If you have any questions please ingame email @CobraLord

I guess I get frustrated with the enhancement system.

I'm an old school nintendo game player.

If I have the wooden ax and then I buy the magic ax it does more damage.

The enhancments aren't simple like that so I find myself frustrated with makeing the best brute I can.

of efficacy adapters?

I wanted to help out stamina only to find that the only endurance modification that gives set bonuses is the efficacy adapters.

Which seems to be more for fighting powers...not stamina.

So where should I be slotting these to get there benefits...cause it would weaken stamina.

What should I slot in stamina to make it better.

Frustrating.

Why not make invention enhancements with clear goals of sloting them?

I have three slots for stone skin

six slots for stones embrace

four slots for rooted

four slots for mud roots

I also use fighting

four slots for tough

four slots for weave

Any recommendations on invention enhancemnts.

I'm not good with the math side of the game so I find I can't grasp what I'm doing when I slot enhancements.

Thank you both

I have 1.5 billion in infamy to slot a brute that is stone/elec.

I was wondering what would be the best invention enhancements to slot in my Granite armor.

It is 9:37 Central...it has started...where is the active account?

Wow. What a sense of entitlement. His accounts were inactive for almost 5 months and he expects NCSoft to punish the other members of the SG indefinitely on the hopes that he might one day reactivate his accounts.

Customer Support - What? You say your locked out of your base because the SG leader's account is inactive and rent's due? Too bad. We don't care about our PAYING customers.

Well the alternative would have been for him to kick everyone before he deactivated his account so he would still be leader when he came back. He did the right thing and let members stay in...Granted he probably should have set someone up in the big chair before he left. Someone he could trust to return ownership.

Tough situation. Kick everyone...and your a made man when you get back. But it's just not nice to do.

Promote someone and they might not give ya the thrown back.

Get auto demoted over time...

Seems clear to me you should have booted everyone. Your the bad guy but the current system only supports that option...If you want to stay in control.

I would not have the thumping huge SG’s I have if it wasn’t for the “infamy for prestige” program I practice....

this is what I do.


I give members that joined 200000 infamy for joining the sg...right out…no strings attached.

When they earn 10000 in prestige they get 1/2 mil in infamy.

When they hit 50000 in prestige they get 1/2 mil in infamy.

When they hit 100000 prestige they get a cool million.

So over a period of time I will give out 2.5 million in infamy for 100000 in prestige.

For a lvl 50 player it is very easy for me to earn that kind of infamy.

For lower lvl players looking for infamy and an sg it’s a good deal...

And before I get berated with ... I would just take you 1/2 mil and leave...that did happen from time to time, but it was far less than when people earned 100000 prestige and were given a fair reward.

I now have 3 sg’s with 65 million prestige, 56 million in prestige, and 13 million in prestige.

I'm sure by now you've all seen Posi's Address discussing I15. He makes no mention of Base tweaks/changes at all.

I also saw the I15 Overview, and it doesn't mention Bases either.

Guess we get no loving this issue?

Anyone else heard or seen anything?

There's just no accounting for some people is there? This is the Fifth Anniversary! The Devs are manually running an event for us players during what would be their off-time and announcing the next issue... and all you can think to do is complain about one aspect of the game that rarely gets announced anyway (one that a relatively small number of folks are going to get excited about)? Wow, just wow!

This is a forum for base builders, you are lost.

Whatever forum you were headed to misses you and wants you not to wonder into a forum you clearly have no interest in.

Anyone who posts here eagerly awaits base updates. It's not uncommon to ask, "where is the base love?" in a base construction forum.

And the glass is not half empty when we ask.

I swore I read that Super Leaders will be able to change sg name. If someone is playing beta and can confirm this, or if a moderator could pipe in whether or not this is true, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yeah great job and thanks. I'm sure to help when I can.

Base Re-pricing
1) How will the re-pricing of bases affect you personally?

Cobra Empire on the Protector server has 50 million in prestige. The re-pricing of items will not effect us because we already have so much prestige. The change to rent will be a plus becuase we could never afford to pay it for the larger plots.

2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the re-pricing?

We will dismantle our base, but are very unhappy that we are going to lose valuable time spent acquiring massive amounts of salvage for the larger base items and advanced weapons. Will lose 72 crafted items that required various salvage to create. Very upset about this.

3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?

That depends on the new salvage system put in place. It could be weeks to replace all the items if there is a run on the black market and we can not purchase what we need. (I would mention here that massive amounts of infamy will need to be spent to acquire invention salvage to replace items we already crafted. Very upset about that)

4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding re-pricing?

Reducing prices is great; however, the rent system we have now was fine. The rent was just too high and stifled growth. I would say moving away from rent based on plot size is a negative. The rent just needed to be reduced to something manageable.

5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?

Well, playing with the base we have on the test server, which has 35 million prestige, we learned that the new features have effectively ended the "reward" process of base building. It will take far less time for everyone to have a thumping huge base. So not to break the rules here, but to be fully honest, in the short term I will probably build the largest base I can. Just to say I did it. In the long term, I will probably start playing less and less as I have less and less to do as a base commander. I would say that I would even go so far as to retire.


Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?

I really don't care. A monkey could use the new system. I just find the timing sucks because we are going to be re-crafting at the same time. I would have waited until everyone rebuilt bases and then started it.

2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?

Ummmm....none. It is no different then the last system. It's all just salvage.

3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?
Two newbies and a chimp could figure it out. It's nothing different from that last system. Except you don't have use salvage to create salvage. It is just one straight trade.

4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?

The black market will be insane for a month with people trying to re-craft. There is going to be massive inflation.

5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?
A better permission system needs to be put in place to prevent theft of items from the base. Period. Everyone has said it. I would use all caps here but I'm polite. Everyone has said it!

PS Moderators should go to the base construction forum...this has all been talked about at great length there. Lots of good base building ideas wait for you on that thread.

make a base designer that looks like xcom battles.
costumes that look like xwing uniforms.
bases that work like animal crossing and the sims.
throw in some mini games to play, that's what I would like.
