  1. the other thing too, I didn't realize this but I think I have all the core MM powers now. I wish I could slot 8 enhancements on the spec ops. I'll probably find a dual or triple recipe and put it in. Any comments on hold vs immobilization on mercs? I think I should slot both to get web and tear gas. I have hold now only.

    finally, I noticed the game client options there is a field for "for advanced management of pets" I turned it on but I have seen anything different.

    If that's what those rooms are then that's a good base design. The important rooms are right next to the entrance.

    So until I see a pic like Capa_Devans provided I'm gonna reserve judgement on whether or not the base the OP is talking about is poorly designed.
    That is the main problem. How would a newbie find his way around this base? I asked and got a map the other day and now I'm going to give it a try again.

    Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. I based my previous comment on those three powers being pet not personal. I don't have to respec now.

    Union CoP runs

    Does this run every week? If so, at what time? I really need to step on the gas and mature my characters on this side.
  5. We missed you last night, CP. It was nearly as "fun" without you :-)

    I know this isn't the right place to ask. But is there a little guide saying how and what to do to make these. I know with musculature I'll have to run Statesman. I'll search and see what I can find. But I thought I understood.

    Obviously Incarnates are much more powerful than I thought, too.
    what days will you be on line this week? do you want some help with alpha stuff?
  7. A farm tf is great but you have to have a tight/close team to harvest it right. How many shards did you get?

    Or you could just hand him a blue inspiration. If you've slotted for end reduction, a small blue should be enough to get him started and he'll just keep regenerating back toward full after that.
    I've already made mistakes with my mercs already. I should have upgraded to the max three: rifle, buck shot/slug, etc. It's not life threatening but I willl respec once I get t 50.

    Heck, ill delete a 50 just to use its name if i think it would fit better with my new char.
    I smiled when I heard read about the deleting for the name. I just did with a 28 too

    How long does it take for you to get a to 50. I'd love to hear about natural secrets. I'm in my 30s now and my progress has slowed significantly.

    Freedom has lots of noobs but you will level like you have never leveled before. This server is literally 24x7. What takes you a day to do in Union will take only a few hours on Freedom.
  11. I still think this show is DOA. In the older show and time, men were running the world. This is 2011, and women have infested everything or are on the verge of it. Diana would be fighting women villains now more than men. This show is lost. Wonder Woman...the whole world is waiting for....your products?

    This is the solution. I'm bought extra spaces and placed the tables(4@150,000 prestige for each roughly). Now I don't have to waste anymore time in the WW or BM. Solo SGs all the way for me now. My SG is now an SW(Super Warehouse). Now I can focus just on the gameplay again.

    This is a quick and dirty picture of one of my bases.

    The cursor is the portal.

    To the left are porters. Off the porters are empowerment (south) and medbay (north).

    Directly south of the portal is a workstation/vault.

    Everything else is either my use, less used or purely decorate. Left hand side is the Base Raid with four decorative rooms.

    To the right of the portal is rack/enhancement storage with an additional couple of worktables (bar, restaurant, garden, zen garden, monster). Then the garden/power/control. I admit I was a tad naughty because the Oro crystal is off large garden but frankly I doubt a coalition would be that bothered. The theme is a National Trust type place.

    Hope that gives you some idea of what I consider 'good base design'. Easy for everyone to use; coalitions, team mates without a tour.

    I might edit in the blue base in a bit.
    This is a good design, there is one main corridor that leads to all places. SG members can get in and get out without a "sponsor."

    Time was stolen from you? Someone forced you to join this SG? Or did you ask to join and then not ask for anyone to show you around? Joining an SG just because someone in Broadcast was advertising is kind'a like joining a PUG. It's not always suitable to your style. Why complain about it? If you don't like them, quit the SG and find one more to your liking.
    I asked to join but I never imagined a base could be designed so tight and mazelike. This picture only says part of the story. Every room is filled with crap and....

    If this was designed for base-raiding, they get an A+

    Edit: I don't think this base was designed to prevent base raiding. I've see a lot of SG's over the weekend and the one's designed against base-raiding have turrets and forcefields everywhere.

I guess as a cross check so they're not just handing out free stuff on your say-so.
    A hiccup might be the best option for me right now :-) this is becoming too much. I need more storage space. larger bm/ww queues, larger email attachments. I'm just maxing everything but I will login to the my SGs now and buy enhancement storage and see how much this will offer.

    An easy way to avoid the get lost problem in bases is to have a vet to the SG give you a quickie tour around the base. If no one wants to give 5min of thier time for this then they are probably not a worthwhile group to join anyway =P.
    I hear you, did you see the image I posted. Where my icon is the base entrance.

    My SGs/VGs have the entrance next to TPs and a crafting station/vault. That's so my coalition partners don't have to meander around the base if they are using it.

    From there I tend to have medical next to TPs (only SG members can use that and it's me) and IO/racks/crafting table a bit further away from the entrance so I can use them in peace without being bothered if a Coaly comes trundling through.

    Anything else comes under decorative to me (energy/control/true decorative rooms) and is further away from the porters. I tend to have themes so my kitchen in the country house base is near the dining room. For my straight salvage base I have orange salvage in one room and yellow in another with a few Insps collectors that I'm slowly getting rid of.

    I don't like the corridors - I don't PvP so the only time I use them is to assist when moving rooms around.

    I do remember being in one base and the instructions from the leader was "type /stuck twice then ...." Um. Yeah I wouldn't be using that base.

    This is my EU account not my NA one. I don' have 20 in this account. I only have 2.

    You can call it whatever you want, I want to find a way to store this excess, get this out of the way so I can play with empty queues. I'm using every trick in the book. I'm storing it in email, fill up my other alts, bm/ww but I'm locked.
  19. I just want to add these points.

    I'm getting 500-1,000,000 when they sell. 30% go for more. I'm posting prices based on salvage at the time.

    Next, I have fill out all of my builds too. I just have too much. I'm clearing my queues before I play and I getting rewarded for my diligence but this stuff is now starting to eat in my gaming time. Maybe I should just delete these and move on. I never thought I would just throw things away but my time is just so valuable now. I'm sick of dealing with the maintenance stuff. I subscribe to "Play" CoH not bean count.
  20. Casino/CoH Royale on deck. They've got us on the run with guns and knives.

    We're fighting for our lives while trying to level. People with several toons to level are definitely welcome.

  21. I joined an SG this weekend. This SG has a Maze base. See weblink:

    http://jumbofiles.com/4n53no5y6n5f

    First, my rant. I became hostile and started using profanity out loud today while I wandered through this base today. I couldn't find the vault or storage rack so I could offload my crap from play. I wasted 1.5 hours in this maze. I finally had to quit to "character select" to regain control of my character. Frankly, I wanted to scream.

    Next, why would someone design a base like this? We have so little time why would someone intentionally steal time from players like this? I'm just at a total loss for words. I play a lot and I can't imagine going through this every time I play. This is cruel and unusual. Are most SG's in CoH Flash or Functional?

    Were you working on crafting badges or something? I'm curious how you got so deeply into this bind.

    I play in lumps. I'll do weekend at a time once a month and they stack up. I thought I could sell them in month but their not moving. I have 20 Apocalyses now...I'm not giving those away for nothing.
  23. I'm playing on the EU today. Can enhancements be stacked three times on MM? I thought I could on my NA account. I could only do twice today.
  24. Can the SG enhancements table/whatever hold the extras?
