Base Repricing
1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?
I'll be able to make my base a lot more awesome, larger, more useful, et cetera. No complaints on prestige cost reductions.

2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?
Yes.

3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?
To just dismantle it, not long. Rebuilding afterwards, 4-6 hours.

4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?
Positives is that it makes entrance into a the base business much easier on smaller and newer guilds. Cons... I guess older guilds will feel less accomplished or something? /shrug

5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?
Short term will just be the stripping and rebuilding. Long term will be that my VG's base will be way more kick [censored] and useful much sooner than expected.


Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?
My members aren't going to be very receptive to splitting with good salvage for the sake of the base. The salvage onus is now placed squarely on the cadre of the leadership.

2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?
None that I can think og.

3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?
Like two seconds. You don't need a B.A. to figure it out. It's very simple.

4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?
Market prices on certain items will increase as additional base construction demands are placed on them.

5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?
Security concerns? Uhh... like, PvP base raiding concerns? Be more specific.

Additional Notes:
None.

Anyone care to explain what exactly this is all about?

Did anyone else get a temporary wrapped gift ability after they signed up for this? At first I thought it was just because of the holidays but none of my VG members received.

As far as I can tell the gift ability might be related to this registry.

I'm lost. What's the point of this? Obviously it's related to the Rikti invasions this weekend but... well, and?

I'm lost.

I helped kill Jack with like a dozen other people two days ago on Virtue in Cap. I stuck through the whole thing and didn't get a badge for it. I was even there well before the attack even kicked off.

Other than that.. werewolves hurt! My web grenade does nothing to stop them

Permanent jet packs would be awesome. None of the travel options really jive with the RP story of my hero (he's just a regular guy that relies on technology, and not silly tech at that) so the raptor pack is literally my only realistic option for travel.

Again, as many have already pointed out, permanent packs would allow you to skip your travel power, freeing up not just two power selections but an entire pool. Not. Going. To. Happen.

Your "regular guy" just needs to have the costume option of a jetpack. You'd still have to take fly, but whenever you were flying around, you just switch costumes to the one with the jet pact. It's something that the players have been asking for for quite some time. And SexyJay is working on them as we speak.

But for that matter, you already have "just a regular guy that relies on technology" options. You can get tech wings, rocket boots, or piston boots as costume options.


But you're not going to get to buy permanent travel powers with cash monies.

Will these "jetpack" costume options actually look like they're turned on/running when flight powers are engaged? Like, does turning on flight powers make fire or wash come out of the nozzles?

Or do the jetpack costume options just look "always on?" It would be nice if it was automated to the point that when flight powers were activated they "engaged" to look like they were actually in use.

Could we get some laser blasters added to the assault rifle category? That would be awesome.

Permanent jet packs would be awesome. None of the travel options really jive with the RP story of my hero (he's just a regular guy that relies on technology, and not silly tech at that) so the raptor pack is literally my only realistic option for travel.
