unjust

well It would be nice to hear SOMETHING about it. Not hearing anything at all causes rampant speculation, Like what is happening here.

Man… The devs are asking questions like suits!!! Tee shirt and sweater wearing suits, but suits non the less. Ok ok, No whining.

Well, if we could make them more flashy and more of an individual atmosphere so they don't all feel like cookie cutter bases. We base builders have done this to a part, but could be helped much more.
Revamp the mission computer and add missions a group of teammates and maybe SG specific missions with SG specific rewards, such as placeable trophies and souvenirs. The mission writing has much improved in the last two years .
Add SG specific Temp powers. Something like"FLANKING TEAMMATE" accessed thru a training room in the SG. I could come up with more, but I'm just trying to point something out. This could be a HUGE improvement.
As for our forgotten brothers, the PVP'ers, Re-institute a base raiding system that allows for specific loot that could be used to increase a persons pvp ability. maybe even pvp specific temp powers.

I just throwing these against the wall to see if anything sticks. every here has to have more ideas. Try and keep those two questions in mind and I am sure we can make yet Another list. Hopefully this one will get attention.

In all honesty for me at least I think the bases are a lost cause at this point. They still have a minor roll in COH. But as the game moves on, the base system lags behind farther and farther. All I ask is that what ever the DEV's decide to do on bases, they give us a some word. Anything, even bad news is still news. I hate the feeling of being in the dark.

I'd buy this. And I am sure others would as well. I sure that there is enough unused objects that are already in game that could be stuffed a booster pack for a base add-on that I'd plunk down the cash for it. However, this wouldn't be possible because this would need to be coded in and it then would break something else.

Hyperstrike is right. The bases aren't broke, there just not what we all want bases to be. And bases are also a small part of this game, therefore, bases will not be looked at for some time. And haven't been for well over a year. Oh I am sure there has been some chatter amongst the Dev's about bases. But nothing that would be significant.

I could wish for the Base Super Booster. To be able to see a multi leveled base without 2 1/2 foot tall kick panels, and get my latest mission fresh from my full length floor to ceiling super computer. Handed to me by my robotic npc butler while I drop off my salvage into my expanded storage area. I'd like to see this. But I fear that if something like this happens, it won't happen till a newer version of COH is brought to life.

^ This. I honestly don't know why the bases have been the forgotten stepchild in the game. But I'd bet it's because It doesn't pay the bills. It isn't why anyone started playing and honestly, with all the additions they have done to make the teleporters in the bases almost obsolete, the base has just become a fancy closet.

But I still want them to fix my closet dangit!!!!!

I loved the abilities we got when they shut off the pathing. It allowed everyone to be even more creative than they already were. To see what has been done is honestly amazing and gave me inspiration to do some of the same. I started playing more and more in SG mode to get more prestige for my base. My desire to build my base up became a major reason to play the game (at a time I was a bit burned out on playing as well as lost SG mates to other games).

Maybe that is why it bothers me to see the apathy the dev's show towards the bases. My base was something in the game that kept me playing at a time it would have been easy to leave.

There is a way to make the other 47 people more interested in there sg's base. It would pretty much call for a revamp of the base system (which should be done anyway to fix other problems) . A personnel room, that would act like another instance of the game. This would be a place to put your personal trophies, and arrange them as you see fit. I know that this has been discussed here on another thread. along with adding things like a Wentworths/ Black market hub in base and a updated base computer allowing SG's to run SG specific missions.


But all this is still a moot point, just for the fact that the bases are so far on the back burner that ice thinks bases are cold.

HEH… then you still have more than us.

I don't even see red in a name on the base forums in the past 6 months (I'm sure its longer but I haven't checked) We Base builders have gathered our lists of what the community wants, because there is no one else to do it.

I understand your frustration. I have it too. I have seen bases become nothing more than a storage locker with benefits because of temp powers and pack powers. I wish there was a raiding option, one that would work in unison with the Base Building community. That would bring the attention to the bases that it needs. It would make bases something more than its current "storage locker" status.

As it stands, Their can be no inter community co-operation between bases and the PVP community for a simple reason. We have no red named individual to be our voice. Your community has something to work with. Work with him to create a Pvp that satisfies the majority of you. If you don't want to, send him to the Base Building forums, We could use him down here.

And how long ago was the meet and greet? Nothing ever got posted in the base forums if it was recent.

This isn't about bases anyway. This is about something you have We Base builders wish we had. A red name that actually wishes to help. Someone who has a voice in what gets put in the game in the future. Bases don't have that, and I am glad you do. At least they aren't ignoring ANOTHER community that need to be addressed. I am actually a bit jealous to tell you the truth.

I agree with you that the system needs a complete overhaul. With that there is no doubt.

But the problem with that is it's not an immediate fix. That would take months if not longer to do correctly and properly. That won't help the people like me and others, that are on the fence with the base issue. The Dev's can do something quick to make the Base Builders satisfied, we have hashed that out in other threads. It's just sad to see or hear nothing from the powers that be. It's as if we Base Builders don't exist.

the Prestige bonus for every member up to 35 I think… heck it's been so long I don't even remember the amount.. but I believe you have everything else

P.S. the stacking ability was found by builders, but made easier in i13. I believe that was because they couldn't get the bases working properly for the base raiding they wanted.

Well, we've been talking. Lists have been made as to what could be on the developer side to make us satisfied. I'm not sure what more can be said. Most of the BB have given up trying to make a difference. Only the hardcore BB are left .

Exactly. But the dev's being the doctors, have decided to do nothing but leave our poor bases in it's comatose state. We have offered them many ways of which to make us have hope. Sadly we haven't seen any. Thats leads me to one sad conclusion. And I have expressed that already.

I'll continue to visit my base, and maybe even tinker a bit on it. But without anything new added it just doesn't hold my interests like it used to.


Wasn't this already done? I thought someone had been in contact with the dev's?

If you were a dev and said that, I would then believe that our comatose patient has hope to one day make a recovery. That being said, your not a dev. And life support is still hooked up to our patient. And were left still hoping for someone to come in and check on it.
