  1. Ah. okay. Thanks for the advice folks. I'll check out those details to add my walls.

    Cheers!

    GF
  2. So I notice in some base pics that some people have walls between rooms or to divide rooms. For the life of me, I can't find walls anywhere in the editor.

    Are these walls just stacked somethings? And where is the wooden door that I've seen in some shots?

    Thanks for the guidance!

  3. Hi,

    It's called a Slow Field. I just put one in my base too.

    You need a Defensive Room, and an Advanced Work table. IT's a defence item that you craft.

    Once you craft it, you'll find it in your Personal Items option.

    The Miyuki floor tile works best (so I've been told - I'm currently at work so can't say yes to this 100%) and you colour that tile blue. Once you do that, you place the Slow Field on top of it. Usually, you stack it on top of a safe or something, then just delete the safe.

    Hope that helps!

    Enjoy your base!

    Mission Guides: Red Tomax (Hero story arcs)

    You'll find the main origin contacts will have a few storylines that continue between the level ranges, like the Vahzilok, the story behind the Skyraiders, and later on stories about the various groups and the connections / interactions between them Lost / Rikti / Freakshow / Crey / Skyraiders / Nemesis / Malta.
    Circle of Thorns and Devouring Earth story lines tend to spread through most of the game.
    As mentioned, added-on zones like Croatoa, Striga, The Hollows and revamped Faultline have contacts and storylines that are self contained within them.

    Hope that helps!
    This is great! I've never seen the Tomax link you provided. Very helpful.
    Cheers!

    Christmas Gift

    I would like to see a GM Jack Frost. With ice and storm powers maxed out.

    Frozen lakes would be awesome.

    I love the entire Winter Event! Everything about it is so much fun!

    In my opinion, every mission should either be timed or auto-completeable so that we never need a petition to get past a bug.
    This has some negative side effects such as - bugging a mish helps the dev's add the bug to the pile of bugs that they're working fixes for.

    Without the bug process, this game would be a mess. We should be thankful for it and use it when necessary.

    If you autocomplete a bugged (or what you perceive to be bugged) mish, you should also fill in the bug report to accompany your completing it.

    Oh
    My
    God.

    THAT is just FREAKING AWESOME!

    Congratulations on showing what can be done with amazing object placement and incredible usage of lighting. Just wonderful.

    Thanks for sharing it with us. I'd love a tour in game.

  9. I have a ceiling dome in my base and am wondering if I can make it hover higher somehow? Do I have to raise the entire ceiling of the room to make it hover higher than the default?

    Cheers!

    Sorry to threadjack.

    slow field

    Thanks for all the advice and guidance folks. I appreciate it.

    I'll give that floor tile a try. I raised the Slow Field up a notch using a safe and it is starting to look great!

    Cheers!

    slow field

    Oh der... Of course water isn't blue. lol. The couple of bases that I've seen have had it blue tinted.

    Thanks for the guidance!

    slow field

    Thanks.

    Thanks for any advice.

    slow field

    Hi folks,
    So I crafted the slow field but am wondering what type of room it has to go into? I'm trying to put it into a Decorative room as a floor panel of water.

    Any advice on how to use this would be great.

    Thanks!

    T.E.C.H. Base

    Nicely done! I wish I could spend more time on base building. After seeing yours and some others on here...mine is so lame. lol
  15. Fashion rules, not travel power. If a cape is part of my look, then a cape it shall wear.
  16. I slot lvl 10 IO's at lvl 7.

    At lvl 17, I respec out my lvl 10's and store them for the next char, and then buy lvl 20's.

    Rinse, repeat at lvl 27 etc., etc., etc.

    At around 35ish, I start to Frankenslot or craft the mid zone IO's like KC's.

    At 47, I use mostly drops for 50's because I don't find that anything past lvl 40 - 45 really makes that much difference in my abilities.

    YMMV

    Storm/? For Solo

    What about Storm/Rad?

    Any thoughts on that pairing? I'm trying one out right now and have found the synergy quite nice. Not a heck of a lot of damage, but, nice debuff on the rad with storm.
  18. Fav - STF with my old Triumph group of friends. All of whom have left the game

    Next, I would have to say Freak Olympics.

    3rd, any of the Respec Trials.

    All of the above have given me some awesome memories of playing with a group of people that really meant a lot to me, and I miss them everyday that I play. Sometimes, RL issues suck, but the memories left behind are just awesome!

    3. Although it pains me to say it, Scrapers are good with some agro control and beefed up IO defense sets (I'm just not a scraper fan)
    4. Avoid Defenders and Blasters at all cost
    1 mostly true
    2 bs
    3 bs
    4 why on earth? Both sets are just awesome.

    You obviously have no idea how to play all the AT's correctly.
  20. fire/fire low lvl but love it. Hot Blond is great!
  21. At this point, the spend rate doesn't really bother me. Having said that, I can see how it would be frustrating to someone that has saved up their A-m's to purchase a set, but can't do so in one set. We are after all, an immediate society....

    What does bother me is the 5 mishes per 20 hrs. It would be nice if you could do all 10, however, this is not a game breaker for me.

    I have decided to spend my A-m's on 5 rares, cash them in, buy what I want for my toons AND to support my other alts. I'm too lazy to play the market like some to make millions for my low lvl toons, so having a few banks really makes life easier.

    ymmv
