Nemesis

So, I've been patiently waiting. Are SG bases a dead issue? It seems like I keep hearing things are coming to bases and such yet issue after issue nothing seems to happen.

Is it really that hard to "tag" an item in a mission and make it accessible to SG bases to purchase? What is preventing SG bases from getting any attention?

Yes, I like the ability to move things on the X,Y axis and turn them, but I was hoping for a bit more. Instead I see costume piece after costume piece come out.

Here is an incentive to you guys in charge. I am willing to pay cryptic points for base stuff!!!!! I'm sure I am not alone in willing to shell out some bucks for this stuff.

PLEASE PLEASE stop ignoring bases.

Thank you very much, I cant believe I missed something that simple...

I've noticed in several arc, that groups of standard mobs (ie. Circle of thorns, Malta, ect) will have thier group name changed when trageted (Bill's Guards, The Displaced, ect)

What is the trick to doing this. I cannot seem to find any way around this.

I REALLY would like the Winter Event Maps, even if they are unlockable or something.

Also the burning forest map would be nice to get fixed and put back in the game.

Will the MA affect Defeat badges? If I make a mission with the Cabal, can a villian earn the defeat cabal badge?

3. If players were aloud to buy the rewards, I don't think they should be able to pick and choose. They would be aloud to buy them in order from whatever reward they are currently on. So if you have 9 months of Vet rewards and want the 24th month vet reward, you'd have to buy 12, 15, 18, 21, and then 24. That's $25 that just went to the game and that helps now, not in 2 years when this player will supposedly still be playing just so they can get this reward. Just don't include the Badge with the rewards, this way you can still see how long people have actually been playing.

I'd be game for that .. it would appease a few of the Have-me-Nots, and provide extra income to the Dev team, which = more stuff for everyone.

Hey your right, while were at it, why not be able to purchase badges, and alcolades, heck why not even levels?

I know I'd pay money to get to 50 higher, I mean all those power leveling companies are taking revanue which COH could use. Lets just eliminate the middle man and take that revenue.

/sarcasm

vet rewards are just like any award, you should earn it to have any value.

Am I the only one seeing the 5 free Merit rewards as big?

Maybe I am reading differently but, they are not saying 5 reward merits, its 5 merit rewards

Has anyone else notices a distinct lack of spirits?

I spent about an hour Trick or Treating and saw less than 5 of them. But enought Fir bogs and Witches to open my own croatoa.

I respectfully disagree.

guess I'll be the one....

Looking at Dungeon Runner's page it looks like a thousand other forums I have seen, usually free to the public.

One of the things I liked about UBB is that they looked different than the standard model that I have seen everywhere. Unless you have a fantastic template to change the style, I say meh!

MEH! I say!

not everything is a nemesis plot....

Ive known ive stated this before, but the biggest thing I want for a base is "trophy room items".

The best example is using the SG badge system where when you kill "X" amount of a factions boss, you get a static statue of that boss.

So if you defeat, say 10,000 or 100,000 Freak Tank Smashers as a SG, then you get a statue of a Freak Tank Smasher that you can place in your base. This could apply to each of the faction bosses, like, Zeus bots, Fake Nemis, Dark Ring MIstresses, etc.


On another note, the bases **NEED** some much over due love. There hasnt been alot of additions to them, and they need some great new items to help out this feature.

Personally I would like "souveniers" to unlock a base item counterpart, which could be put in a base.

VG Name: Overlords
VG Motto: "Divide and Conquer"
Play Style: Casual
Server: JUSTICE

Level Requirement: None. Our primary focus is to find active players regardless of level. All are welcome.

Summary: The Overlords are formed to assist villains in their personal agendas from conquering the world to robbing a quick mart.
The group provides whatever assistance they can under the view that if the heroes are busy with one villain that’s one less hero another villain has to worry about.

Conduct: There is very few restrictions in this villain group. Many solo villains find the VG to fit their style and goals. The only things asked it play in VG mode when possible to assist the membership as a whole, keep your villains relatively active (30 day inactive policy) unless you notify us otherwise and if someone needs assistance help them out as one day the tables may be turned.

Amenities: Fully functional base with Teleporter to every current portable zone, Storage, Workstations (Salavge and Invention) and medical facilities.

Why was this group formed?: To provide a centralized base of operations for villains in their agendas.

Most Active Time(s): Usually from about 5PM-10PM Central. Various hours on weekends.

Contact: @Nemesis or @Cosmic Herald

While I only have last night experience to go by, You might want to take a look at Inspirations. On 2 seperate toons I got predominately Reds, Blues and Greens. Very few Defense and Absolutely no Oranges. Isn't there supposed to be an equal chance for any insp?

Nemesis has nothing to do with any of this mess. I have it on good authority!

Mine!

weird, I can no longer seem to edit my post... :/

Personally I wish they had implimented the team rule on heavies. You know, the one where if a teammate is more than a certain distance from you in a zone you get no reward for thier defeats. That would make the farmers stick close to get thier reward and expose them to risk.

I agree this no heal change is just bad.

The more I see changes going on the more it becomes clearer and clearer. The developers WANT players to team up.
If you find anything which may allow you to solo, expect a patch note sometime soon.

actually only a couple things rom the list are mine, The rest were posted on numerous threads. None of your top 5 are my ideas.

Im actually curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind removing lv 45 and 46 from getting a hami during the raid.

Seems like the risk is still there so should not the reward be as well?

And yes i know they cant use it, but they can still get it and use it when they reach 47.

Consolidated List of Base Suggestions

The list contains suggestion from numerous Threads on the base construction boards.

I make no assumptions or omissions biased on viability, and included all for completeness. Individual items which would fall under a general category (ie plates and kitchen equipment) are assumed include in general and not individualized.

Price adjustments on items, and changes

I’ll try to update the master list once a week as suggestions come in.

Not the point I was making in that particular paragraph, you apparently mixed things up. Here's a better example:

Let's say BillZBubba took a hiatus from the game. While he was gone, for some reason, cryptic decided to make his name unreserved. You see that it's available and make a new character with that name. Now if Bill, whom we all know and love for sharing his vast technical knowledge with us all, decided to come back, would you change your name to something else in order to give the name back to someone who made it known in the first place?

[/ QUOTE ]

No and here are the reasons.

"BillZBubba" is an inactive account and obviously has been for awhile to be affected by the policy. Strike One.

Announcement is made in forums of Name change policy, in addition prior notice have been made previously so a precident had already been established on name purges. Its not a surprise "they never thought could happen". Strike Two.

NcSoft/Cryptic sends out an email notifying the player of "BillZBubba" that his name will be set to unreserved . Said player obviously ignores email. Strike Three.

And before you say thier email may have been put in a spam filter or they may no longer have that email account. It is the Players responsibility to adjust/correct these things. Not NcSoft/Cryptic's or mine.

The ONLY exception I may make is if the player was serving in the war. However. NcSoft/Cryptic has previously (I believe) exempted them from the policy. So that would be an moot point.

And if you want to talk about inactive people giving up their name, what about the recently deceased Captain America? Assumed dead in 1945, he returned in 1964 after he was revealed to be frozen in suspended animation. Let's see... 120 days vs. 19 years? It's always possible someone will come back, and a true hero would willingly give up their title to the former. Will you have the same strength of character if a level 50 whose name you stole for your level 15 blaster came back?

[/ QUOTE ]

Flawed arguement. 1.) multiple Heroes can have the same names at time. There has been multiple captian america's.

COX doesn't allow for the same name to be used. Period. regardless if the hero is active or inactive.
