I am a one person SG, but recently I opened it up to a few players who seemed to need access to these abilities. I stopped storing anything under purple/pvp/ATO so I only needed 3 tables. My solution to seperations of storage was to do away with rank tiers and designate them as entitlement for storage. When doing so you can provide a front room to personal rooms (like an apt lobby) each branch in the SG tier has its own seperate collective. I think the cool thing about it was the small groups on the same "tier" are usually the ones that knew eachother before joining my SG, so I am totally seperated from any drama.
I just thought I'd add some thoughts. I didn't read the whole forum but the title was something I felt I had a answer to the problem... so sorry if I repeated some sort of all knowing protocol when it comes to storage issues. I know this doesn't directly solve your problem, but suggesting it to the SG leader might be a good suggestion if the SG could be branched in such a way. If the SG is based on Prestige earnings to grant access to rooms and storage, then nevermind. My thoughts are in regards to no charge or fee to be in a SG. I hope I helped and good luck.
P.S. at least the SG leader is your friend. One of my members had to leave his because the whole base was locked up for him to do anything as the SGs highest earner. -
Quote:Heh, Thanks for your comments. Yes the shift and ctrl tool are very handy. The Cathedral and Greek bases unfortunately didnt get to utilize that ability. But at least I wasnt stuck magic desking everything, eh? What I want in base items (god the list is huge) probably the most dynamic request would be Higher celiling, casino and video games, axis swaps(x,y,z axis'), and decorative vegetation(ivy, fruit, segmented tree parts(banyon tree arbitrary/serpentine).Originally Posted by MrHassenpheffer
Awesome!
I know I don't post much in regards to the base builders creations but it really warms my heart when I see masterful works done that take full advantage of the new editing tools.
To me, that means that my efforts in convincing the devs to put them in was time well spent.
Very nice work!
16 bit video games would be awesome in base, some of us who log on arent playing but chatting. Having a game like billiards or darts would be so fun while in game between league building.... event arrival... why not? The subscriber is ingame! isn't that the developers agenda? I think things to do between events are great, so a 16 bit video game in base would be perfect, IMHO -
Hello All!
Thought I'd share some pics of my progress...
After the cathedral base was demolished, I started making a Ninja base. The base will not have any slow fields to faux water effects. Instead, the whole base is on water. The entrance has a submarine secret entrance into the middle of the base. Infirmary room will fork and meet at port rooms to either side and wrap around to the fortresses main gate. The port rooms have been fun.
Since the theme is on water, the port rooms are fashioned with boats.. or at least the attempt at making a boat. This boat is the second I ever attempted. The first one looks somewhat like a fishing boat. My next obstacle will be making a boat at a 45 degree angle or better 30/60 degree.
My NW and NE rooms will have forced perspectives that have descending lines into a horizon with ocean view. I'll also fashion it with my favorite room,(it will be the fourth one Ive done) A Godzilla themed room with monsters destroying DT tokyo. I haven't seen anyone do nor heard anyone doing forced perspectives. I hope this sparks some interest or someone knows where some good pics of people who have had the same idea(s). I hope you enjoy the pics and I hope you look forward to my Ninja Fortress theme in progress.

My only envolvement in the converter craze was fairly late compared to those who were aware before me. I paid 100 million for lower PvP crafted enhancements and converted them to defense/resist/heal for my favorite toons. I have no intention of selling them for gain, they will be slotted. I only got my hands on 20 or so. I myself was too slow from lack of interest on trying to land billions. I did not have the foresight from beta/forums etc. I am usually locked into base edit stacking legos. So for me, the converter and acct reward merits were thee answer to the market and this thread altogether. But now that I have them I did open up the flood gate of slotting all my toons with exactly what I want. I didn't post this for any significant contribution other then some added data to your census.
When I get drops that are purple I never sell them. Because of this habit, I think I was one of the few who gained the most from the converter. I suppose I can still make a fair price for the converted purples. I have chosen not too. I suppose it would be wiser to stay out of the market because my needs have already been met.
I am sure there are many like me who avoid the lure of the market. BTW, it never hurts to bid 1,11,111,1111 on items. Since the market is global I have been hard pressed selling items at this price. I am one of the contributors that attempt to augment the demand in favor for the small percentages so people can "GAME ON!"
Just my thoughts.. not trying to be right or wrong. -

Thank you very much! Trying to finish a bar and live theatre for the Greek base. Hoping to finish and get rid of some clutter for you folks to see a better glympse of the finished product(wall textures/lighting/statue placement, etc.) Then I'll be able to finish a boat I am making so I can post those as well. The boats are for my port rooms in a Ninja theme. So far, I think I am pulling it off!

The temporary analyzer mk III is very useful for viewing combat attributes of enemies. I try to keep 1 crafted on each of my toons.
I also occassionally use recovery serums for things like Pylon Tests.
Otherwise they're all trash.
I agree, but this seems to be the only one tolerable in regards to "the let down". It's almost cliche to shout out a rare drop and let everyone know how terrible it is. Envenomed Dagger is a pretty good one. The only thing handy about temps, IMO, Having a full tray (yet no endurance) of temp weapons to make one feel better about what he could do if he only had enough end.

I my self put some thought into the dynamics and possible outcomes in regards to the market. What I think is going to happen is a lot more grand scale in a said "domino effect". What I see is a periodic reaction like everything else thats really cool. Like AE merits and profiteering the salvage.
At first, I believe, we'll assume the prices are gonna remain pretty manageable. Which will cause us to make more toons. We are under the assumption that the builds will come easier now. Well, I think the rate of demand will not supply the outcrop of new toons that we "think" we will suit easily. For some of us that are fairly wealthy won't feel much of it.. the question I have is... With the availability and ease of creation/customizing, will we all work on 4 toons now when we usually would only make 1? Multiply that inspiration times thousands and you have a greater demand. The prices could only go up, cause we are a constant rate of income, those influence caches HAVE to compete with eachother. I just don't see the rate of wealth vs rate of demand compromising the other, even if it was aware of the effects. GAWD I hope that makes any sense. Sorry if it doesn't.
For the individual I think it doesn't change much (the time spent getting to a full slotted toon). But for the game in general, I tip my hat to the developers because these past changes have excited the game that almost makes up for the nerfs we all miss. And we all will probably spend the same amount of time/inf getting a toon we would consider fully slotted. Meaning, we lose with a smile on our face.. and they win all the way to the bank. But I'm still happy with the games new appeal(s).
These are just my random thoughts and was scrolling forum topics and saw this which is a great topic.
The Booster packs brought me right back to the days of playing Magic the Gathering. Good post! Thanks for Posting!

Heh, My worst habit is trying to destroy an entrance room with over 300 pieces in it. Usually I'd set it up so I could just delete the room. I have learned now that I shouldn't put too much time in the beginning phase, building the entrance. Deletion brick by brick kills me. Thanks for your comments.

These are screenshots of bases I have been editing on Liberty Server. The One Hit Wonders' base was a Gothic Cathedral theme and because I grew tired of editing around labored rooms I held dear, I completely deleted the plot.
The Paragon City Saints asked me to edit their base with a Greek theme. After surveying a whole plot as opposed to detailing room to room led to my bases demise. My new thing is grand themes with the continuity of base in mind before the first brick is layed. Lighting and textures are always the last stage for me. Because of this procedure, I have come to find that my process led me to deleting the Cathedral and making a Ninja Fortress (canals on water). By doing this, I will be able to utilize the wasted space of the gaps between room(plots) and have the grand space of the room itself.
I thought it would minimize editing but it seems it multiplied it. But the end result should be epic. The inspiration behind a Ninja base was simple, in the Cathedral base I grew fond of rooms with forced perspectives. The theme was Godzilla and Monster X destroying DT Tokyo. I hope you enjoy the stop here and hope to see you on Liberty! -MonkeyBall
BTW, if you guessed by now, I have a severe issue with completing any of my works.. one idea can ruin a 2 year build.
I have updated my progress to the Greek base and a sneak peak at my Ninja base entrance and fortress entrance tower(s).
I hope you all enjoy!
