Quote:when the trio visited the Burrow it was suggested that I hold a hide and seek event on every server. My response was due to the magnitude of construction the only possible way I could do something like that was if I could transfer/copy the entire base to every server.Originally Posted by The_Larker

It will likely require the Supergroups Super Leader to actually execute the transfer.
SSSSSSSSSQQQQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
also, for what I had planned, I would need about 20 people at my disposal. -
a price worth paying...

I can give you hope, they will look at them, but they don't have the free manpower right now and they don't want to do a half ***** job with something as unique as bases.
Drool over 21's features for now. ;]
I believe you.
I am patient, I can wait.
*proceeds to drool over i21*

Maybe they don't have anything substantive to tell you at this time, ey.
Or because even *if* they were midstream in re-development of bases and pvp and revealed some early tidbits *people* would likely vetch and moan even louder demanding more details and/or their "communities" input being considered.
I believe bases will more likely get a look under the new system then they would've otherwise, and that it wont happen fast enough to satisfy some people.

yes we will have a strike team dedicated to bases
yes bases will be looked at in the future
something to end speculation and give us hope. something to look forward to and be happy about.
those two answers would shut me up.
I realize there are passionate people and heated exchanges, that mess can be avoided if not shut down just by saying something to the effect of , "chill- good stuff is coming"... you get the idea. saying that there is good stuff and not being specific is better than silence.
I was told by my father once that the true message of hate is no message at all. -
I'm sure they know.
I just don't know why they aren't talking.
I don't see any real reason to remain silent.
Talk of base editing upgrades can't top f2p. -

Designing Freedom
by Matt "Positron" Miller
When we broke City of Heroes development into Strike Teams, I took on the role of Lead Designer to ensure that all the moving parts were talking to one another and that a consistent vision of how the Hybrid model is going to get applied worked across all the Strike Teams. One thing that I was making clear to everyone is that we needed to treat our subscribers, past as well as present, with the respect they deserve. I have seen what happens when an MMO decides that it needs "new blood" and doesn't care who they have to lose in order to get it. All that does is show your new customers that you have the power to change the rules whenever you feel like it, and the veteran customers left out in the cold become a lobbying force against new people wanting to try your game. That was something we were consciously not doing with City of Heroes Freedom.
Is there a strike team assigned to base development?
Is there any plans for upgrading the relevance of bases?
at this point and time I fail to see any reason to not answer those questions.
enlighten me please. -

I think they have more say about what goes into those articles than you think.

IMHO the devs should release a poll for all the players. Make it multiple-choice and leave it on the Load Page for three months. Collect the data and analyze it. Find out what the players REALLY want as opposed to reading the Forums and getting what the verbal 10% of the community crabs about. THEN start making their plans for the next design year.
I love this idea. It takes the player politicking out of the equation. It speeds things up.
This is something that is brilliant and should be implemented -if- and only IF... bases were among the choices. I would love to see the daily results of said polls. That would be an excellent way to see which way the game was headed.

...
listens to the players...k.
Would love it if PS hired a base dev. is there even such a title? Answering questions would be nice too. What can be done for bases? what cant? simple answering of questions would probably be enough for a collective of us base-o-philes to stay interested or maybe even organized enough to hold a few base related events.
This "unified front" of silent treatment has gone on for too long. Resentment ensues. Was that the goal? Popular belief is yes. It's working against the community btw.
I'm not interested in pointing fingers or spewing nerd rage. I'd rather have carrots and a nice cup of tea... with milk... I miss chatting with Avatea.

needs moar resources for Paragon Studios?
is that what the players been saying?

Dear PlayNC,
Please increase the budget for Paragon Studios substantially.
Please give the Paragon Studios development team the budget they deserve.
Please ensure the longevity of this wonderful game via cash infusion therapy.
Please make sure all features of the game have the well fed development that it deserves.
Please give me a reason to /resub.
Thank you for your time, Mr. H. -
"On what will the team be focusing in the future? Everything."
hmmm...
"everything"
hmmm... -
I appreciate the time spent by Z, Avatea and Beastyle.
Your company was most welcome and all efforts exposing the need for base love to the powers that be are much appreciated.
If any base love is to fall upon the very deserving citizens of Paragon...
I shall return.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Mr. H -

what does i20 have to do with it?
ever.
period.
That's what i20 has to do with it.
They aint talkin so ima be walkin.
Besides, there's money in that there Entropia.
I don't have time for this. not anymore. -
*Opens fridge, shuffles things around, looks for anything related to base development...
*Closes fridge door, walks away... -
to FFM
That's all their budget can do.
A tiny little piece of this and that.
Limited resources = Limited production
I guess...tone back expectations?
If people want more than whats being delivered then the budget for this game needs to increase.
I'd love to see it live up to the hype. -

On an unrelated note I simply love your comic.
Keep up the good work! -
all your base packs are belong to Mr. H

Btw Dark Energon
chill. -
It's not just him.
I've crashed my fair share of times as well, as have many that I run this thing with. It's not our systems, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with these 24 man teams and all the data that gets thrown around... I don't crash in normal non-incarnate content.
the crew I hooked up with did a MOITF afterward and had -zero- problems. We even had a running gag of "omg I clicked my powers and they fired off!"
I really would like to see some incarnate content that would not require such a large group.
I'm pretty much done with these trials, the lag is so bad I can't use powers that show as recharged.
I've missed out on rewards due to client crashes. there is no "hey wait up guys" in these trials. You hit the ground running and keep moving whether your toggles are up or not.
This is simply too frustrating to be fun.
