The Player Event Resource Committee Presents:
Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget
This is a contest to test your creativity, skill, and talent at base design! We want to see what you can do on a limited time and prestige budget. Forty designers will be chosen to compete, ten per category.
Are you ready to prove that you are a great base designer?
There are four categories in which contestants will be selected to compete.
- Arcane/Magic (examples: Enchanted Tiki Room or Magic Rainforest)
- Technology/Science (examples: Mad Scientists Lab or Spaceship)
- Modern/Livable (examples: High Rise Apartment or Dorm Room)
- Freestyle/Player Choice (examples: Farm, Jungle, or Candy Factory)
- Anyone who wishes to compete may enter by filling out a short form linked at the bottom of the post.
- Contestants will be chosen based on creativity of their answers, passion for designing, and skill level.
- Entrants may choose to link up to 3 screen shots of previous base work.
- Having previous base building experience is not a requirement; a variety of contestants will be chosen.
- You will be asked to rank (1 least to 5 most) the categories in which you would like to compete in. We will attempt to accommodate each players first choice as much as possible. Players will only compete in 1 category.
- Entries will be accepted until October 14th. Contestants will be selected by October 21st and will be invited into bases that week.
- Contestants will be posted on the forums and will be notified individually via email.
- Each contestant will be given a base to design. Each base will have exactly 300k prestige.
- Contestants may not do anything to earn or buy more prestige for the super group. Part of the challenge of this contest is designing on a tight budget.
- Peacebringers are recommended to use as the base designer for the use of fly. If you do not have that option, please request influence for a jet pack.
- Any player who does not have access to Paragon Rewards base items may request that a PERC Rep drop them off in the base.
- Contestants may design up to three rooms.
- Design/Building time will end on November 15th.
- Judges will tour bases between November 15th and 22nd.
- Contestants may choose to be present for the tour to explain details of the base design.
- Each category will be judged independently.
- Bases will be judged on: creativity, theme, difficulty, flow/cohesion, and overall aesthetics. Bases will not be judged on functionality (power, control, etc.)
- One winner and up to two honorable mentions will be selected per category.
Per Category- 1st place - 2 billion influence, a Gold title for the character of choice, and a special Costume Code
- Honorable Mentions - 500 Million influence

I would suggest filling out your tier 3 destiny and lore first (once unlocked) and then going back to fill in judgment and interface. Being at +2 and +3 on the trials makes them a whole lot more fun.

All prizes will be sent once the contest is over on 10/7. (but emails will likely be sent on the 8th and 9th)
Even if you are not in the first 20, you still have a chance to win one of 20 mystery prizes (valued at 25 mill + ) -
Quote:Yes, I apparently need to get smarter "test rats" the 4 people I tested it on could not get more than 3 of them each in over an hour of trying! Next time they will be harder, no worries!!Originally Posted by BigMoneyHustla
That third puzzle made my brain hurt ... But finally got it ... the rest of them were probably a little too easy.
Thanks for the puzzles though! -
Quote:I have no doubt you will figure it outOriginally Posted by War-Nugget
The clue and the spacing is what lead me to asking if it was an anagram or if each segment is supposed to be rearranged to form a sentence.

Quote:Originally Posted by War-Nugget
Any more clues for the third one?
Is it an anagram, or are each segment part of one overall sentence?
The spacing and the clue should be sufficient to figure it out. -
I have my first reply already! Way to go Victory!!!

Just be careful Chad, you are getting dangerous close to giving hints out!

Theme for 10/1- Dress in Uniform!

Decide what is important to you first...
1. Do you want to kit out your fav 50 with all new incarnate shinies?
2. Do you want to try the new powersets on a lowbie?
3. Do you want to try new content? You can make a lowbie or go through ozone.
Once you decide which direction you want to go in, then we can better help you. -
I would like to challenge Ajax 8 my jelly beans please. Tells go to @Madame Pistacio but the char I will play is on a different account.

New slots this year, but I get to slot a new level of basic IOs, lol!

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes! Really appreciate it! -

What mag is Avatar's confuse, anyways? Can sets with confuse protection (Shield, WP) just tank it, or do they need additional support (CM, Clarion, etc)?
I think people have agreed on mag 20, but some say higher. I know that everyone on the trial complained about confuse, so no one powerset was enough. Perhaps a WP with tactics or something would work out okay. -
Reminder, the raid for 9/24 is canceled to show support for the 1v1 PvP ladder seeding. Please join in for this fun event!

I actually wasn't being snarky, I was really and truly asking for a bulleted/spaced out list of questions.
