No Prolif power sets that I can see from the login area....

No new costume stuff, unless I missed it....still looking


Still not in beta. May have shot self in foot on that with my initial interactions with sunstorm =D


Valkyrie Wings now appear with normal wings rather than their own category

/checks e-mail repeatedly for hours/

Positron,

At the first hero con I called you on Isolator. I apologize for wanting to kick you in the shins repeatedly then.

I was angry about reformed (I already had it but there was a principle)

So I thank you for reverting the change, and for what its worth (nothing I know) I respect you for saying you were wrong.

Thank you
~Plasma Stream

From Base Forums, everything else I see there has enough recent activity for certain.

Its a castle! get a net!

I was happy to see my base make it in. I was really bad about getting the interview done. I admit it =(

Pulling this from the depths. We have a good long list of bases here.

Considering the 'free time' developers get for community events tends to be limited on the best of days. There's no reasonable way they can have the time to check everyone out.

Is there an equitable way to help the devs pick which bases to tour?

Lottery perhaps? Everyones base goes into a hat? I dunno
Thoughts?

This is just awesome.

1. No.

2. No.

=(

I can't think of a really bad time specifically, but for me, I've always embarrassed when i ask players "dumb" questions on how to do this or that, or how to find this or that, and then have to tell them that I have been playing since the game launched. For example, I have never even tried to do binds! Is that bad?

What's a bind?

Good Morning Sunstorm,

My first question of the morning: Is the 30 Salvage Limitation still on the table for discussion before the estimated launch date of Issue 13 or do we need to wait for launch and data mining?


Impish Kat has established the 30 limit will not be sufficient for those converting Base > Brainstorm > Invention. So I am curious if we need to keep discussing it now or wait?


Happy friday

~Plas

Thank you Sunstorm, I will update my tables and see if I can work with Ex to get it posted in a 'table' format.

PM sent.

Welcome Synapse!!

Welcome Sunstorm.

I am still sorry about the APP/PPP Things I said and am still willing to send you Pie, even if Castle said it wasnt nessecary.

We are glad to have you.

UPDATED NEWS:

Items in personal inventory will be placed at the reduced price after the issue goes live. Merry Christmas!

Ok Builders, I know I am not the spokes person or anything remotely close for us. But, we might have a chance to organize a tour for our new red name Sunstorm.

Obviously the list should show ALL size bases from the soloist, to the small to the WHAT THE FRAK sized plots.

Time/Date: Per Developer Schedule, TBD

Sign up here with your:

<ul type="square"> [*] Group Name[*] Server[*] Side[*] Approximate Size/Cost[*] Anything else peritnent[/list]

<ul type="square"> [*] Group Name: The Guardian Force[*] Server: Virtue[*] Side: Blue[*] Approximate Size/Cost: 20x24 37 Million[*] Anything else peritnent: Welcome aboard sunstorm![/list]

Noted Ex.

I would say however, that perhaps we can as a community offer Sunstorm a tour of our bases as an organized event? Would that be possible?

Evening Sunstorm. Welcome aboard. I shan't be blasting you with the orbital laser now. =D


Q. Is the 30 limit on the table for discussion before launch?

Q. Are you guys aware of the general view point on your movement to the new invention system?

Q. You understand that with the new invention system groups will be LESS likely to share and the burden of cost will be on the architecht rather than the group correct?

Q. It's understood there are 3 seperate building communities, PVP Base Raiders, Casual Raiders and DEAR GOD KEEP PVP AWAY FROM MY BASE!! correct?


Sorry to grill you right off the bat, but ...these are the things on many a mind.

Base Repricing
1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?

My group will 'lose' out on approximately 2,000,000 prestige. Conversely after reviewing the prices and building the guide. My group benefits approximately 11 million prestige. It will let us maximize our plot on the max secure plot, to allow multiple energy and control rooms. ALL FOR RP Purposes.

2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?

I will be dismantling some of it. Approximately 20%

3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?

If I did the full base: 200 hours
My current plan: 30 hours


4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?

Positives:
Fully upgraded base with no concern of not being able to make rent
Multiple control/power room possibilities
More rooms to decorate as needed


Negatives:
Nothing really to spend it on aside from the same old items
Manhours lost.
Influence cost to rebuild items that are required to be rebuilt for any dismantling


5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?

Short term, I wont be getting a lot of missioning done as I am rebuilding
Long term assuming the current rent model on test holds, my group will have the largest base possible, with nothing much in it except empty space until we get more items to decorate with. Though it will have more rooms of creative illusions like the pirate ship available




Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?

Cost to the base architect (me) for three bases I design. Not all my characters have loads of influence to spend and with the flux on the market of costs there is some cost to the designer that the group will be reluctant to share the burden of.

Also the need for a new mouse after I convert 5000 base salvage to brainstorms and then back again. Which will also be taking a considerable amount of time away from actually playing the game while I click ad nauseum.

2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?

There is none that I can see particularly. Sorry.

3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?

Already done, but I am a quick study.

4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?

Increased cost to the architects
Market Flux causing more cost to the architect
Insufficient storage needs during conversion process. The 30 Salvage storage per rack is totally insufficient in regards to the conversion and rebuilding process. Anyone who is attempting it will need multiple racks and assistance of members to hold salvage that they may or may not get to be able to craft new items for the base. The random roll is very...fickle in that regard if you want to make a magic base.

5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?

Already thefts are occuring. There is insufficient security on salvage racks, its either on or its off by level. Anyone can take as long as they got the permissions from someone. The shared salvage is ripe for storage. Already there have been 'thefts' of people taking current base salvage to sell at a sizable profit and then teasing the group in question for it with no reprocussions as 'they were given permission'


Additional Notes:
<ul type="square">[*]There is a lack of understanding of the vision to remove base salvage. No one in their right mind has been confused by it, yet this is what we are told. At the same time you remove "Salvage Found" messages, you introduce a new type of "Merits" into the game. Won't that be as confusing? 'What do you mean I can't use Vanguard merits. it says merit!'

Many of us find this reasoning hard to believe and there has been little to no consideration or conversation regarding it.
[*]There have already been numerous threads regarding the lack of storage. There has been quantitative rather than qualitative and subjective data presented. 30 is just insufficient to hold invention, halloween and winter event salvage and any other salvage invented in the near future that can be shared. Suggestions have been made for and against, with some reasonable (and yes unreasonable) numbers. Again no reply or indication that the subject is even open for discussion.
[*]The building community at large, though not in entirety, does feel slighted by the change not matching anything we've asked for save the modified pricing. No base items that already exist, no new tiles, items anything. Granted what Pohsyb has done with the raid pathing has beneficial aspects and will allow for more illusions of things that exist, some things do exist and we've been waiting.
[*] No official notes listed ever on the new rent. asked about again and again with no reply. Please clarify.[/list]
