Sploiters who were trying to earn uber prestige off AVs - not so much XP though. I saw it first-hand, thought it was tedious and boring but had to say the prestige for taking down one AV was nice. It'd be much easier just to up the prestige ratio though - then this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

Its not just the cost of objects; its the cost of upgrading base plots just to squeeze in more rooms to work with. Having energy, control and defense items mean little without base raiding turned on (and most folks outside of the PvP community don't care about base raids).

Like eveything else in this game, base editing and design are not being used in the way the devs intended it but at least folks are still managing to have fun with a system that hasn't been updated in years. Give them a little credit for trying to keep things interesting at least.

Actually we talked about doing just that and the majority decided against it. One base doesn't allow 10 to 20 people the opportunity to try their hand at base building. Too many cooks in the kitchen, etc. At the same point everyone wants to try their hand at designing a large base because they can - and its fun. So that's what we did - we split up the dormant bases we'd built over the years on 4 different servers and told folks to go crazy with their creativity.

As for having extra prestige you never use, just because you don't know how to use 5 million prestige for base design doesn't mean others don't know to either. These pics can attest to limitless imagination if folks are given the resources to do it.

You see a sinkhole; I see art.

True but only after 5 years of playing...


Keep in mind, I'm not asking for anything to be done with base building per se. I'm just saying make it easier to earn prestige or buy prestige in exchange for inf. The ratio of inf to prestige right now is TERRIBLE. That should be an quick and easy fix.



You're right, it is 7. I added the seventh room at the last minute and forgot to update the thread title. Sorry about that!

Trust me, Dr. Quartermaine (the movie) was much more memorable than this - and that's not saying much, lol. Alas, I did forget (my brain is still scarred from 9+ hrs of running this TF) ut the thread title is now duly corrected. Sorry!

I dig 'em both however kinda surprised by the disconnect between players saying "we want/ need animal bodies for SBP:V" versus what we finally end up getting (which I do like but its not at all what I expected). How'd everyone on both sides of the coin get the final product so wrong?

I'm not gonna say a word. Not ONE word...

Yep I just saw BAB's follow-up post after I replied to Castle's.

Now THAT's more like it...

After having just watched a new FB Dev video for a competitive IP that opens up discussion regarding power customization while taking some interesting digs at COH's rationale - and then seeing this? I gotta laugh and feel equally disappointed. Saying no to *anything* for "purely fictional reasons" is absolutely absurd.

You guys need to lose this chip off your shoulder fast or its going to hurt the brand later on.


EDIT: Just saw BAB's follow-up qualifier. MUCH BETTER!!!

I had a supportive response but never mind... its pointless to comment or get involved in these discussions anymore.

I'm grateful for what we've got; I just wish more could've been planned, prioritized, and executed better back in the day. Six years on, the quality of the game has vastly improved - its just such a shame it took this long to reconsider doing everything that was shelved, rolled back and outright vetoed all those years ago. And *still* we've got to do without on some things. Its not a complaint - just a regret (or perhaps a lament). You guys have done sheer wonders with the IP since it left Cryptic's hands - please don't underestimate how grateful we are that you stayed on and still give it your all after 6+ years.

Though they may not seem like much in the long run, it really is those little personal touches and attention to "trivial" details that make this great rather than good enough.

That kind of commitment means a lot - thank you.
