Do the contestants still have access to their bases? I'd love to see them first hand in game, as I still have difficulty watching the vids... dunno what it is about them but I get motion sickness, lol.
Yes they will be allowed to keep them. I am sure they would love to give out some tours! -

Madame Pistacio, can we get a listing of who made each base?
Not ignoring you, just thinking about it. Players can certainly tell which was theirs

I would vote for the ATOs and then pvpios (if they work for your build). Purples are pretty expensive and both ATOS and pvpios will be more bang for your buck. And both exemplar nicely as well! I would highly encourage buying cheaper pvpios and then using converters to get the more expensive ones (and then slot or sell!). Hit me up in game any time to chat more about this!

The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of the base builders who entered and completed the Design Challenge - Disaster Base! Each and every one of you surprised and amazed us with your skills, creativity, and commitment to your design. This was certainly not an easy contest and it was a true pleasure to see all of the bases come to life!
Just as a reminder, the base builders were given a base with an entryway and one 3 by 3 room. They had 200 random items of "wreckage" that had to be used to complete the base and 50k in prestige as "disaster relief funds." Bases were judged based on creativity, use of the "wreckage," cohesion/theme, difficulty, and overall aesthetics.

Thanks again to PERC for another great base challenge!!
Just a quick question, how will the winners be announced? I am hoping to post by 4 or 5 pm pdt. I will announce in this thread
-
I want to thank everyone who competed in Disaster Base! We have a few more days of touring and judging and will announce winners ASAP!
I want to add that Zwillinger and I will be touring the bases LIVE today and tomorrow on Twitch TV! Please see http://www.twitch.tv/paragonstudios for the broadcast! -

Yes, you're absolutely correct. It's less time spent for us.
Last week we had to invest two people for an entire day and a second person for another entire day to sending out codes via PM, and even then we ran into technical/API limitations.
It is *not* a wise investment of my teams time to spend an entire day on another project and cause other aspects of the Community to suffer as a result. At the same time, when faced with the option of do something or do nothing, I choose to do something. I respect those of you who disagree and choose not to participate. Please know that your concerns have been heard. This is simply the best possible option that we have currently available.
On a similar note, Hit Streak and I have invested a rather large amount of time in this conversation. While I appreciate everyone's concern, this is one of those decisions that I have to make that won't make everyone happy. I apologize if you're one of those people. For now, this is how we're going to operate Tweet Code Thursday, until we have a better solution.
Perhaps rather than allowing unlimited retweets, you could say that the first 25 to 40 people to retweet would get a code and then redo it once an hour or every other other (for say 6 to 10 hours). That's less codes over all yes, but I don't think that the player base would nearly as upset as a code grab. Sure it would be "timed" but people would be able to do it from a smart phone and it would not need "twitchy fingers" because it is only one button. It would not take very long to send out 25 or even 40 direct messages (less than 15 minutes I would imagine). It would not take up an entire staff members day and you could manage it so that you give out a total of 250 codes(or less) over the course of 1 day, since that is how many messages you are allowed.
I am sure someone already suggested this, but I thought directly addressing the time issues you brought up might help. -
Vanum will be leading the raid on 7/21. Bring your A game!

May we keep our bases after the contest is over if we choose to?
Also sorry to hear about rl stresses IBtT

If you are looking for a GLBT Super Group, I would suggest joining the "Pride" Channel. I am not 100% on what it is called, but it is specifically for members of the Victory community who consider themselves GLBT (or A or Q or any other letter I forgot!). Perhaps someone else could jump in here with the exact name?

Quote:100% fineOriginally Posted by Tyger
I got the reminder email about it being one week to go. I now have a query:
Basically I moved some of the items into the doorway room to keep them out the way while I sorted out the bits in the 3x3. As long as I move the items back in; this wouldn't count as a break would it?
-
Quote:That sounds like fun! Except I think I would have to make a list of "must use" items. It would take me forever and a day to set up that many bases with 200 items LOL. Really creative idea though.Originally Posted by Hendrake
I totally want the next contest to be IRON BUILDER.
Same set up as disaster base, with half the prestige, a series of one-on-one contests, PERC judges in the base commenting on the builds as they happen, maybe even dual-live-streaming, and a four hour time limit -
9 days left of design time! Very excited to see what you all are working on!

Quote:In general, I have found that a character being well slotted will make it a lot more fun. You don't die as often or run out of end. And you just in general feel more useful.Originally Posted by Fista
Thanks. I'll look in to that. Part of the problem I've decided is that I don't have enough time with this guy and don't have a feel for the AT and the powers. So I'm going to try to log some time with him and see where I'm at then.
Never played a support toon and it's verrrrrry different from what I'm used to.
For a kin, mostly just throw out a sb once in a while (at an enemy is fine, it will hit the target (your teammate) and any other teammates in the area) and do a lot of fulcrum shifting. Use your heal as needed and as a debuff for longer lasting enemies. If you can pay attention to the league, use your transference when someone is low on end
-
No purples, 1 pvp io (hey I'll send you one and you can convert till you get the right one), 1 ATO set (not too spendy), the rest is pretty cheap. There are 4 lotgs, but you can get those pretty easily with alignment merits. This is not how I would build it for myself, but I think this might be reasonable for your play style.
Estimated cost (excluding lotgs and the pvp io)- 150mill

Just a word of caution to all, if you previously purchased the New Years Pack with the fireworks aura and emotes, it WILL let you purchase those items again since they are individual items this time. Just wanted to let people know so that they do not waste their points

Vanum,
Enjoy your day and have a blast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! -
All but one contestant have picked up their bases! I am so excited to see what you guys will do!
So without any spoilers... who was surprised at what was in their "Disaster" Base?
