Just my two bits here, but considering the number of zones blueside (and thus beacons & pads needed), I have all my beacons arranged alphabetically, stretching in a long line along one wall across the two rooms needed. Basically its a long "L" shape of nothing but porters.

Closest porter in the first image of course starts with Atlas, and the line continues through into the next room and around the corner (2nd and 3rd images) in alphabetical order. The only beacon I haven't bothered to place is Pocket D since the few people in this SG all have the Pocket D VIP Pass. If the need comes up for it, I'll add it into the line.

Thanks for comin' out BLU

And congrats to all the winners! Remember that titles will be given out on the 9th or so, after the devs come back from their holidays. LadyTemptress will ensure that all the winners are notified so they can show up and claim them.

Also, a very happy New Year to everyone!

My apologies, but between rushing around for Christmas (work and stuff mostly) and a three-day bender for New Years, I had completely neglected to post any of the rules for the PvP events even after promising I'd get it done. So better late than never I guess, and I'll obviously be giving out these rules later this evening when the PvP events get rolling.

First up is the Versus Pentad. If we get enough people for more than one team of each Heroes and Villains, the highest scoring team overall will win. Other rules as follows:

- 15 minute timer
- Random Map
- Travel Suppression will be ON
- Heal Decay will be OFF
- Diminishing Returns will be ON
- Small Inspirations and Arena temp powers will be allowed


Second up will be the Level 5 and under Ice-themed FFA. Winner will be decided by highest total score.

- 20 minute timer
- Random Map
- Travel Suppression will be OFF
- Heal Decay will be OFF
- Diminishing Returns will be ON
- Max Endurance Gain will be ON (to help since no-one will have Stamina)
- Small Inspirations and Arena temp powers will be allowed


Lastly is the 2v2 tournament. This will be a ladder tournament, so any teams wanting to participate will have to inform me so I can add them to the ladder. Winner of each round will be determined by total team score. Byes may be necessary, but no more than one bye per team. Each match will include the following rules:

- 10 minute timer
- Random Map
- Travel Suppression will be ON
- Heal Decay will be OFF
- Diminishing Returns will be ON
- Small Inspirations and Arena temp powers will be allowed


If anyone has any questions about the rules, feel free to direct them to me (@pyber) in-game before the events start. Keep in mind that while I will be running the event as a neutral party, Dream Team and Villains of Victory will be providing the prizes. Due to my lack of being online the last few days, I can't post the prize info here, but I'll have that well before we get started and will let everyone for each event know what they will be playing for. Suffice to say the prizes consist of both Infamy/Influence as well as PvP IO's.

Ran across this tonight while doing some late-night surfing. 100 uses for bacon since no meal is complete without it, hehe.

It's been like this since I started seriously base editing over a year ago. It aggravated me to no end that my emblems would change on their own in the same way you've described. What I found, for example, was that if I already had some of the short glass items and I placed another with a different emblem, after I exited the base that newly placed one would change to match the ones already there. Sadly the only way to repair that was to yank all of those short glass items and place them all again with the same emblem. You simply can't have more than one emblem on the same item, even when in different rooms. It's aggravating, I know, but at this point there's not much to be done for it.

Congrats to the winners. Represent us well in the finals!

Bad Crindon, hehe.

Unless of course you meant the happy kind of gay

Congrats!

Now PL meh!

Not the first time this has happened in the last few days either. Champion and one other server were down for quite some time on Wednesday or Thursday as well. Any guesses as to why this has been happening?

Each of the three formats are going to have their own rules. I'll post 'em up in this thread tomorrow or so Kool, so you'll have plenty of warning. For now, I've got dinner to eat and another section of my training course to go through, hehe.

Yes, the Fashion Show is a Costume Contest, heh. It'll just have a little twist compared to what most of us are used to.

As Fulmens asked, check your rent first. Then, if your rent is paid up and it still doesn't work, send in a petition, as its a known bug for power/control to still not work after base rent is paid. It usually takes a very short period of time for CS to address the issue.

Indeed, there are threads related to stacking as well asYouTube tutorials.

Gee, I didn't realize this thread had dropped so far, lol.

Thanks to everyone that came out for the Raid tonight. We had a great turnout, the first day of the Winter Event notwithstanding. A little Magus trouble as usual, but we made it work. A great job all round by everyone!

Hope to see everyone for Saturdays Raid at 9pm PST, 12am EST.

You might see one or two of my PvP toons on Freedom for a day or two just for kicks Kool, but they'll be sent back to Guardian after that. I'm staying put where I am for better or worse, heh.

As a quick aside, if you intend to eventually place enough teleporters and beacons to cover all zones, you will need to use the 3x4 Secure Teleport Bay, or multiple of the smaller rooms (two 2x2's plus a 1x2 or a single 3x3 plus a 1x2). For the 3x4 Secure Teleport Bay you're looking at 253k prestige plus cost of beacons and teleporters.

The nice thing about Villains though is that there are nowhere near the same amount of zones (and thus beacons) as there are for Heroes. Knowing this, you won't need anything more than the Tier 1 Energy Supply and you can get by with minimal Control items. Note this is for a base that while small, would be fully functional.

Or you could commit suicide directly over the bowl and your corpse will drop through the shield, hopefully close enough to the badge marker to get it, hehe. Dunno if that's been changed so that a corpse just lands on the shield, but that was how I got the badge on my Brute.
