  1. As is obvious, I'm at the Expo, but might post something Monday if I'm not in too bad a state

    If you're there, even better
  2. What you'd know about Requiem

    All you saw of him was he retreated into what you assume is an underground base.

    Carnies Location :Unknown
    Real States is probably doing what he said he was.
    Really unlikely
    No idea
    No, but it seems to be easier to open them.
    Don't know.

    The lvl 50s are most useful in collecting influence for the rest of the SG and I'm told its better to exemplar down.
    The 3 per minion doesn't reveal much unless you know how many people were on the team at the time.

    The Level 50's would possibly rather start their Kheldians than spend 3 weeks giving the other characters a +1% damage; but that's just a thought. I'm sure Number 6 will give her own little answer to that afterwards.

    I was getting 10 Prestige per mob (about 20-30 per mission) from a Solo Run on Invincible; mission end bonus of 375 being 5 points under the ren I paid for our decorative base last night. This I did 3 times until I ran into a Red Zeus who was immune to my status effects and had an Orange Sapper behind it. After that I did Chimera and Shadowhunter with a group of 6 well trained guys/girls; and donated 14 million influence to base upkeep.

    Now, given that I'm one of the few men in our supergroup, I really think that an apology to all female players everywhere wouldn't go a miss; as they play the game with at least equal skill to myself or any other male.

    Thank you.

    Stay with us and we'll give you the chance to work for 3 weeks to get a functional base.

    With or without Influence -> Prestige?

    If your SG can only play for an hour or two a week, why should they be able to afford a working base? Would you expect to get to level 50 in a little over two weeks playing that often?

    Well said and gratz on the teleporter

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh and your little group can already build a decorative base, so not that well said.

    Quick reality check here.

    Established SG with Established Player base seeks small working apartment. Working time 2 hours a night as players have lives and jobs that need work as well. Roughly 15 members. Wishes to move in under a month.

    Or put it another way

    Take 60 man very active SG. How long do get a Large Functional Hideout with defenses? (Talking roughly 10-15 million prestige)

    Ridiculous

    What Shimmer said.
  9. Energy secondary is split into Boosts and Melees. Hover is there for when you're in trouble.

    Main attack chain should be Boost/Sonic/Sonic/Boost (melee if they're too close (Knockback will push them back into sonic).

    Hover should be active if you're against a large group or need to avoid the floor.

    Flight's for getting to the missions.
  10. IMH(AB)O, I'd say Energy and Flight.

    Dev is nice, but the drone annoys the hell out of me.

    Flight's Hover gives much needed defence, and Flight is just cool
  11. Silver_Weasel

    Ridiculous

    So....we should all leave our established groups of friends for the large ones?

    OR

    Spend three weeks prestige farming (which I still don't think will get us 750k)

    Bottom line, if you're suggesting that a base with all the bells and whistles should be fairly easy to obtain for an individual then I disagree. Bases are for SGs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Bottom line. If something's added to the game, I'd rather not play for months on an established character just to use it at the minimal level I'm looking at. Bells and whistles are for the large SG's.

    Between lvl40 and 50 you should be able to earn over 500k prestige, but there's nothing to stop you continuing to earn AFTER you hit 50. And if you're on your own you're not going to need a defensable or raid capable base.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    By the time I hit 50, I'm not gonna NEED the effects of Salvage....See my point? A free can of beans every 1,000 pounds spent is not just a reason to buy more food. (and god have I tried to get Mother to realise this...)
  14. Silver_Weasel

    Ridiculous

    I already have all my alts slots on Defiant and Union filled so alts are out.

    My villans will probably have a base up by their 20's; but exactly how do the level 40-50 heroes make one?

    And if Salvage is only useful after spending the 750g, then paying to put in something that helps your base; why are you given bits on normal non-SG missions?

    Just seems like a loyalty/credit card to me...

    Russian accents.

    Weasel/Mongrel lived in Russia for a long time, but he tends to talk in the accent of the country where he gets his magic from.

    http://www.learningrussian.com might help you, but from listening to Russian's talk; it's very similar to German or Gujarati; in that they always sound like they're fighting.
    Myself, I'd look at phrases or words that you speak often, babel-fish them, and then slot them in. Perhaps having some binds in True Russian for those moments of high emotion.

    (Oh and most Russians still have difficulty saying V's, replacing them with W's It's just not something they've had to use)

    Блях&# 1072;-муха! Blyaha-muha! is the equivalent of Wow! for instance.

    I honestly have no idea what the issue is. I've earned 117k prestige since this all started. When it did I was lvl38. I should hit 41 tonight. Multiply that by 6, add some alts for the bonus and you'd be at the point where you'd have power, control and a workshop and have your eye on that mission computer.
    That's in under 3 lvls. So what's the problem?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Multiply by 6 and you'll be level 59....

    Just a year playing our level 30-40's. Can you see a small problem there?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You maths is rubbish? In a year, based on the last three weeks, I'd collect somewhere in the order of 10-15 million prestige (that's including taking time to earn inf as well). How big a base are you wanting?!?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I was more thinking that in a year we'd be level 60/80's...
  19. Silver_Weasel

    Ridiculous

    Functional? I'd be upset if it took me more than about a week with that.
    Defensible? A month
    Raidworthy? Three

    Not really gonna help those people with gimped tanks etc. that are languishing at 30 though is it?

    And for level 50's doing Trophy stealing...what exactly are you gonna use those Trophies on?
  20. Strongmen were sent left and right by Saphire's huge punches; and on one of them she even found a small book on how to Train her accuracy.(())

    Grav managed to tuck her away though before her health was battered to nought by the Carnival.

    From the top of the building, they could see the Carnival amassing below them. And this mob looked more like the villagers from Frankenstein.

    Saphire and Grav felt a worrying deja vu as they swapped glances, wondering which was resembling the Monster more...

    We calculate around a year for our small SG to get everything it wants. Good point well made...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Since you didn't post your calculations I can't comment on them specifically, but I suspect they're rubbish.
    OR
    Your small SG is made up of casual gamers who player only a few hours a week and you just don't see why you can't have a big base with all the bells and whistles NOW.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Innigo, can you quickly check over the majority of small SG posts and check that we just want a SMALL functional base; of lowest quality and that will take us 6 months to a year; and that's without focussing on the fact that most of are 30-40, which means there's only about a month's play left in those characters?

    Thanks.

    Oh and the infamous Ratcatcher sketch that I'm known for..

    Background : D&D Game. Aeron is a Elf MU/Thief with hideous dexterity, a lazy attitude and a rat familiar. Being run by Iain. M is Me

    I : O.k., anyone want to do anything before we leave?
    M : Just one, any jewellery merchants nearby?
    I : Uhm yeah, there's one across the river.
    M : Ok, I nip in. Anyone else in there?
    I : Just the shopkeeper, looking rather bored.
    M : O.K. (Adopts Aeron's Voice) "Evening Sir! Rat Inspector."
    I : (Adopts Shopkeepers Voice) I'm sorry?
    A : Rat inspector sir. I'm here to check for rats.
    S : Uhm, this is a jewellery merchants, sir.
    A : I know that sir, and I have to check for rats.
    S : We don't have any rats in here.... this is a jewellers.
    A: Are you sure sir? (flashes blank parchment) Would you mind if I take a look?
    S : Yes I would. Get out!!
    A : Attempting to block an officer of the.*thinks*....state are we sir?
    S : No, I'm just trying to get rid of a fool.
    A : (desperation kicks in) Look, there's a rat there!
    S : What? The one on your shoulder?
    A : Precisely sir, this warns me of rats and can sniff them out.
    S : Look are you going to buy something or do I have to call the guards?
    A : I wouldn't call the guards sir. They might find out you have less rats than are prescribed by Law.
    S: WHAT???
    A : Well sir, only high rent establishments can have no rats. You'd be putting yourself out of business. Perhaps I could sneak some rats in for you?
    S : [Descends into rather unmerchantlike language]
