I don't know what bit you're not understanding but to get the maximum sized base and fill it with all the goodies takes an amazing amount of time and effort which is far too much imo.

[/ QUOTE ]

The bit i was not understanding was what relevance the fact you aint put any time into a base had on the fact a lot of people have.

[/ QUOTE ]

A lot of people were building towards an unobtainable goal without realizing. I didn't buy into it and maybe others would not buy into it as the goal was unachievable and even if achievable, costs too much in real life terms. The less people taking SGs seriously the harder it is to get as far as one could in making one. It's been worked out that in order to obtain X, Y and Z, you would pretty much have to live on the game and perhaps find yourself evicted from ones home at a later date as its no longer fit for cockroaches. Everything needs to be cheaper and easier to obtain.

ok even ive lost you now what exactly is the unatabable goal of base building well apart from the UI beng simpleeasy andhastle free to use

well thats an easy one my own nova on monster bru a granit able to get most of the bad guys to fallow him into one corner then pop was fun when i dunit the first time with selfdestruct just before they changed it to drop togles first

i would accept but only for scotlands bru hes the only one of my well known toons i dont enjoy playing any longer because of all the changes made to the ill set since i first made himjust befroe ed came into effect

tell your "source" there are no plans on merging EU and USA servers, according to what GhostRaptor said.

[/ QUOTE ]

GR castle and posi have all said there was no plans to do this over the past year or so since the complaints about they eu servers dieing realy got more regular

as standoff said they have yet to give us any details not just to the prestige chage but also for any and all of the changes to be expected with the base system probibly because altho they are working on it, its low on the priority list so they dont wont to tell us what to expect and when only to anoy us when they need to push it back because of problems croping up else where

interesting idea might actuly work as well to helpoffset the downside of it tho i would add dark defenders in to the healing teams for mass res.

DOOM i tell you it means DOOOOOMMMM,....

Thats about right for EU staff, had you been on a US server that would have been sorted for you within the hour.

Your lucky they didnt tell you to upgrade your drivers in French.

Or blame it on ya ISP.

[/ QUOTE ]

as bad as this sounds it matchs up with alot of my experiances to the point when i get a problem on the eu servers unless its huge i tend to ignore it and keep gamin, but similar things i would ignore here i wouldnt think twice about sending a peition for over on the us servers

while messing about the forums a thought ocured to me about this thread and the idea of a possible mission/story involvng the most noted heros on the server well what not the villians as and have it a server wide thing including faces from both sides of the blue and red devide

[/ QUOTE ]

If i understand what you mean, you suggesting an arc where its you and the hero "legends" vrs the villain "legends"?

[/ QUOTE ]

something along those liines either that or one of each of course all this is depending on how exactly the mission createer thingy actuly works

i think that might be the point its in your opinion and you build a basic base because thats what your after but there is some of us ingame actuly enjoy the base building and dont consider it a waist of time or a burden even tho alot of the things brought in by the devs do make it tiresome sometimes we still enjoy the whole thing about it

and for me it was the selling frature that origonaly brought me over from coh when cov was launched

while messing about the forums a thought ocured to me about this thread and the idea of a possible mission/story involvng the most noted heros on the server well what not the villians as and have it a server wide thing including faces from both sides of the blue and red devide

i tend to like how the payed for stuff has been so far and have gotten every adition since the eu coh deluxe box. so far the powers granted with them have been fun lil aditions that can very easily be dun without. as long as they stay along the fun and flashy rout with the add ons im more than happy with them the way they are.

after all its a much better idea than having to pay for a full game every 6 month to a year so you can stay up to date with the game the way most mmos go.

im with londeoner on this one im not anyed with the idea of having to remake our base it coul do with a slight revamt anyway and this is the perfect excuse.

what i am anooyed at is the amount of resouces its going to ask from everybody even from the smallest of bases to dismantle sell everything then start from scratch using alot of valuble salvage from a system they are changeing at the same time that as yet may end up costing more than was expecting.

the time itself spent on the base building i take great pride in especialy when getting goot feed back from members and visiters from coalition groups so i dont consider the time waisted at all, after all that is one of the things as sg leaders we step up to do for the betterment of our group even if the ui for actuly doing that is a royal opain in the back end

im sorta on the fence on this one altho it is a good idea to get sgs teaming together and working together i can see this being another nail in the coffen for the smaller freinds only sgs that has only a small handful of members.

as for how it would effect teaming this one i cant desdie either after all might limit some people to who they invite to teams but it could also encourage sgs that are coalitioned to team as a team made up of 3 or 4 from two sgs would benifit them the same using these numbers both sgs would earn 13% bonus which over the course of a few 8 man missions would definetly add up

its also worth remembering that the salvage is changing as well well, ok not to much changes as they are bining the idea of base salvage and replacing it with plane old invantion salvage tho they havent given us any details on how this will work yet so i wouldnt make any plans with bases and the likes untill we know a whole lot more about whats actuly going to be happening and how it will be implimented

im easy as long as its a decent charity im normaly happy to part with my cash

however anything for kids always helps others part with the cash as well

think i will step up for this one as well yet to kill the jelly monster on the eu servers

scotlands is a ill/emp so take you pick where you wont me

as i was reading over this thread i learned something about myself i have spent way to much time on the red side of the good v evil devide way to much over the past year or so, i used to pride myself in recognising most of the well known people about and barely recognise most the people mentioned so far apart from the forums regulars

but my contribution is mothers love, FFM lost samurai and zortel for all the reasons listed above

Update on this:

Lighthouse:
Issue 13 base price change concerns
Hi gang,

The Community Team has certainly heard you loud and clear about your concerns with the change to salvage and the re-pricing of base items. At this time, the earliest I anticipate having some further dev input on the subject would be later in the week. There are a number of competing priorities and I can only thank you for your patience.

Provisionally good news - it looks like they're at least reconsidering things here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well it did need reconsidering.

[/ QUOTE ]


i think it shows that alot more atention is being payed to what people are saying on the forums now since the managment switch a good thing in my book

as for what the out come will be who knows, just good to see there paying atention

Didn't bother reporting, gms probarly wouldnt do anything.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yea they wiil, they will tell you to update your anti virus and grfx drivers.

[/ QUOTE ]


the dont bother atitude is what makes it harder for the gms not easyer,

they need an amount off evidence to hold against a gamer to proove there actions were not accidentle so you have a team that has this happen 3 or four times and dont report it then they do it to somebody else who dose well your right thats one complaint they probibly wont do anything about that but all off you reporting each time about the one person doing it every time that will get there atention and something will be dun

i got a strange feeling they may be saving some sort of possible lvl cap increase and payed for expansion for once the dc mmo and CO hits to bring old players back and get the name out there again

i am pleased to here that they have atleast taken this into acount even if they have dun the bare minimum to refund us

as it stands darklords have a pritty big extensive base and im not looking forword to the idea of having to tear it down and scream and ball at the editer to get it all right again, this is all anoying but i can live with it.

what concerns me is along with this reprice there will be alot of people taking advantage of it with one tiny issue the change to how salvage works. apart from being told that they will be doing away with base salvage we havent been given any other firm details on how this will all work and for those groups that do need the prestige boost it is potentialy going to cost them a decent amount of salvage and components to rebuild so i think this is whats needing looked at alot more instead or atleast give us the details of how exactly they are planing to remove the old base salvage and how exactly it is going to be replaced

Well, this weekend we're running the Meder Silos TF, to see if beating recluse there, works.

If it doesn't, then we'll try police band/bank raids. I'll keep you posted.

[/ QUOTE ]

i doubt it will for a hero base as villians cant nlock the rikti turret thing they get but no harm in trying if nothing else it earns plenty prestige

last time they gave us any info on it they said there was a few security problems with that but as usel didnt go into detail about if it can or will ever be resolved and then finished

it can be dun and there is a few of the forumites out there that have dun it quiet well but it dose need alot of work and there is the hastle of sorting out invites for your alts if you dont have access to two acounts to do it will
