    Well, they've have added some tools to make base building easier. remember the magic desk trick to make stuff float? not anymore! Hold down the shift key to affect elevation. What about the wall sconce trick to set some items to an angle. Now you can use the alt key. And we can use the control key for something too, right? doesn't that maintain an elevation if you move something?

    Oh, and clipping! I remember when items couldn't intersect. that's made things a lot easier!

    The one change I hate tho was when they fixed the double doors glitch. *sob*

    well, that does make sense! (Total derp moment for me, that should have been common sense!) But still, if the system becomes truly unstable to the point that is crashing, that could still cause problems, like the bug where base items were attackable and defense items were affecting/attacking the players. Although, I would not be surprised if that was just the Devs trolling us.

    As impressive as that base is and I have also seen some pretty impressive bases, I would much rather have a new system constructed to replace the legacy system and lose my base after fair warning (so I can gather hoarded items and start planning a new base) than to have the legacy system crash without warning. It's been stated that the base system is no better than a house of cards right now. It could conceivably crash at any moment leaving us at a loss of hoarded salvage/enh that we had no time to collect as well as depriving us of a working base system until they can either reload the legacy system or make a new one from the ground up.

    So, it's either:
    1. Have it crash with us unprepared and leaving us with nothing
    2. Make a new system, give us time to prepare, and replace the legacy base system
    OR!
    3. JC's Idea - give us the option to keep the legacy system until we are ready to rebuild while new bases are constructed on the new system.

    My husband is having a similar problem. We are both on macs. he has OSX Leopard, I have Snow Leopard. For him, the updater runs like normal, but when the client tries to load, he does not get the standard loading bar, it just goes straight to a black screen, but no game screen. The test server starts up just fine too. the strange thing is that not even two hours ago, I logged both comps into the game (I logged in one of his toons so that I could invite my new toon into our villain group). I'm afraid to log out on my comp. I'm worried I won't be able to get back in! Not just that, but hubby wants to run a demon MM with me. He doesn't want to get left behind. anyone know of a fix yet?

    Edit: He can enter the game in safe mode. I hope maybe that can help someone.

    @AresSupreme: Awesome base! it looks fantastic. I might have to borrow some ideas from you.

    But I was flummoxed to find that I could not figure out where the handrails were. I had several ledges that could use some handrails like the ones in the med room, but I can't find the rails! Can someone help me find them?
