this a purely pvp smackdown kinda thing or will the be av badges involved? (i'm on a massive badge er.. thing at the mo)

[/ QUOTE ]

the plan was basicly an all out pvp event but if the numbers are right i dare say people will get tore into the heros and AVs as well just for the fun of it

last time i spoke to any of the suport team there wasnt any events planed for halloween or the one year of cov event but you never know the suport team might pull something together at the last min

i rememebr having similar issues when we were at the small base stage and the only answer i could come up with was instead of using the 2x2 ontrol room use the 1x4 room this alows you to place mor control items i would also try and avoid crafted items at first as they tend to give a lil less than whats availible in the creater. however its not easy stiking a good balance between control and base needs at first but it dose get easyer

i think i might have to dust off good old scotlands bru and drag his healing powers along for a while see you of will see who else i can scare up from our sg

gona be a shame to see you go mate didnt team with you much ingame but new of you and your groups on both coh and cov.

your gona leave a big set of shoes to fill not being there anymore to answer radnom questions on the leaders channel for one and whos gona come up with and spend the time orgonising new event ideas for the game

well im sure you will be back some day just hope you do well where ever you end up

oh and o was trying to orgonise a sirens invasion on the 29th so just thinkl what a way to go that would be taking control once again in sirens call 1 year on since cov launch

ok over the past few weeks and monsth talking to other leaders ingame we have all came to the conclusion that the coalition system is almost completly useless as it is.
at the moment it basicly alows a number of Sgs to chat to each other thats about it.

so im asking what kindof things you as leaders should be able to do with a group you are coalitioned with

first of is a non agresion pact - basicly both groups agree not to raid each other aart from freindlys nice and simple

mutual defence pact - this allows memers from your coalition groups to help defend your base by joiing in raids obviousely this coulld be very easily explioted so i would limit the number of people from the coalition that can join your defence team to abut 4 of the total 16

another sugestion was the ability to join forces to complete missions. this came from us finaly getting the CoP unlockedand some smaller groups well even some bigger groups haveing problems putting together the rigt mix to pull it of so by joining forces a number of smaller groups could combine there efferts to get the iop for each group or smaller groups could join forces with one of the larger groups for the same end so they atleast have access to the content

well thats all i got for now so what other things would you ecpect a coalition to do but cant and what do you think about getting this lot intruduced to the game

i did try posting something similar to this in the sugestions thread but it basicly got blanked so figured it might be better here withinn the base threads

death may have a plan thereand while b is away learning we get to play unwatched

not looking to join just wonted to say if anybody complanes the realy do ned a slap for being silly apart from that good luck with the group

in the hole ime i been with coh (since day 1) the eu's most expensive prize handed out was a couple of time cards so dont expect to se any prizes close to them over here we just aint worth that much

when you visit the bloke to pay your rent hit show me top 100 groups that is wher eit will list groups by there total prestige earned, i beleve you can search for a spasfic group as well altho i have nver actuy dn this using that window so not realy noticed

and the figured i worked out earlyer altho i used my villian group as the example i came to these figures from working out the figures of the four groups im involved with managing a heros group on union of avarage size our villian group on union a large size almost always above 65 members our alt storage group on union villians a small group and our hero group on defiant a average sized group and what kinslayer found is the same as me at no point ose rent go down it will remain unchanged if you dont earn prestige thats all.

and there is one thing i would like tyo point out guides can be wrong the fact that even the suport team have made mistakes in the past on a number of things within this game prroves that everybody can be wrong so using a guide of any kind as gosple is a bit over the top especialy when there is a large number of members saying the complete oposit of the guide

Thought might as well post here .... EVIL have a unique item of power!!! I didnt realise until browsed the american forums and recognised it as being same as ours. Just a shame we can only have one. However, we are fairly close to changing this by upgrading our plot to secure .

My understanding was that rent was based on total prestige earned, not prestige earned over the time period of the rent cycle.

If this is the case then i can not see how the rent will drop if prestige earning hits a peak and then dies down for an SG. Instead the total amount of prestige earned will slow in its increase while the 'rent' will remain at it's last level and only take a longer period to hit the next increase marker but never actully fall to a lower rent as total prestige earned will not fall.

As i said this is my understanding and could be very wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

Total prestige will fall if SG sells stuff to pay rent. Or just plain pays rent while not earning more. Rent is the only thing that can reduce the total prestige of SG.

Considering situation where SG stops gaining prestige, it will either sell stuff to pay rent until finally hitting 0 total prestige or will not pay rent in which case base will become inoperable until the last rent payment is paid.

[/ QUOTE ]

thats the thing right there the total prestige earned has nothign to do with what you do with it selling base items dosnt efect your total prstige earned in any way. that number is automaticly ipdated as people actuly earn and dose not have anytihng to do with how much is in the base kitty or how much the base is worth.

my groups total earned is curently at about 15mil with our about 270k'ish holding us at 17th on union. this is our second time in the top 20 the first time round we lost alot of members and our activity droped alot to almost none in this time we had to downgrade our base back to basics and droped down to about 34th in the rankings as other groups earned more than us and passed us by. during this time our rent in no way slowed down or got less the increase remained at a steady pace.

it was during this time that i worked out that rent is not base on how much the base is worth or how much your sg has ti spend its based on your total amount of prestige earned something like 2% or 3% not alot but as you earn more the rent will continue to increase even if all you earn each week is enuff to pay your rent it still adds to your total earned making your next rent higher

thing with the rent system the way it is no mater how active your group is or how perfect evry single member is at earnign eventuly you will hit a point where there is no way in hell you will be able to aford your rent ponly diference is larger groups hit this cap faster thats it so basicly they are being punished for being more sucseful than everybody else so doing like alot of people have suugested and changing it to plot size means to have a large oporation base with loads of defences its still gona cost you a fortune on rent coz you will need the large plot sizes to hold two power statoins to power it all

It's all so stupid and avoidable as well. In Warburg, you can't attack each other while in your base zone as you get flagged as a friendly target as soon as you enter it.

Actually, that would be a very good idea - they could use the same code they use in Pocket D.

i supose the other option is to give the drones the full spectum of leadership powers up def damage perception tp for resistance and give them the ability to cast vengence so when somebody is killed by one of these exploits everthing in the area gets a nice boost to increase there chances of finding the person responsible and dealing with them

it is good to see that atleast one fo the big groups os still going strong latley up untill about 3 weeks ago my lot were doing great not about 8 people ay oce is alot. basicly we are just holding it together at the moment but then evil always was a popular lot

to be honest im not sure how often the hostile raids will happen i know a number of groups are already orgonising non agresion packs basicly informaly agreing not to raid each other for the iop coz the risk of damage to each others base and the months it would take to rebuild isnt worth the risk.

the bigger groups are gona be a lil better of on this as well because tey are gona have atleast some sort of base defences placed and ready to go where as a hell of alot of those smaller groups out there that think they are raid ready will have the basic set up no base defences and a good chance of limited numbers to defend so will be risking a hell of alot just by having the iop.

i tihnk the only way the devs ae gona make this iop ting work as a truely interesting pvp event is finding a better way to balance the risk/reward system consdering how long it takes to build up a base and all it takes is one strong pvp group bent on destruction to completly destroy those efferts, a situation like this could turn a well eqioped popular sg into a reck over night.

i do think while the raid system is disabled alot of people will be doing the cop just to seee whats availible from it and experiance the new content but once the raids are live again i think its gona be a very limited thing to see a group with an iop taking that huge risk

how quick your base gets built up depends on eanring numbers. my sg when we first started had about 30 to 40 members after the first few weeks and i would say it took us about 2 monthish to get a plot ugrade and all the essential rooms

its also worth remembering the more you earn the faster your rent gos up also a large functional base for both every day use and for raids will take a while a few month atleast and it will need the co-operation of all members to make sure youve got the prestige earning and slavage you need to pull it off

the only way i can thin of fixing it so you can be radided by the group of your chioce is picking a realy strange time for your raid window say 6am sunday and tell your freindly group to look ther efor you however that could blow up in your face as somebody else may pic that as a time they wont to try and you find yourself having to defend against a raid at that silly time

but as has been stated the raid system is disabled for now and from the looks of it will be for a long time so apart from the freindly insta raid system there isnt realy alot to worry about is there
