I wanted to build twin towers. The idea seemed like it made sense at first. Then I sort of realized that my desk base probably should have been bigger as it gets skinnier as you go up.


Base of Tower

But nothing ever ends up what you originally imagine. My tower turned into a pretty wild crypt. I was actually happy with the initial results.

The Crypt


Of course I am not sure who I buried in it, but it is well guarded by my minions.

I was too busy ripping my entire base apart to be creative. I also tested some new weapons and hate them all! Nice job, as always!

Arc 22832: And Hell Hath No Fury (extreme)
Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?

I'm guessing its the Arcane Defense forcefield item?...

PS.
Anyone know of a inventory of craftable arcane items that has a decent picture? RedTomax is missing a few. = (

[/ QUOTE ]Yes that is exactly what it is. I have (2) of them in there and the two Elite Snow Crystals. Now I have to add the forest around the crypt and give it the scary feeling. Too bad we cant have sound effect makers in diff parts of our base.

Very excellent work!!

Out of curiosity how long did it take to do all that stacking?

I have tried several times to enhance my stacking ability but i always get frustrated and quit.

Like I said, 60 hours and counting. The first half took the longest, it sped up a lot when I found out from ya'll how to keep the desk magic'd. And once they are perma magic'd, I would log out every 30 min or so to keep the lag down while editing.

Very nice!

Nice job.
I just found out the other day how tricky it can be to work under items that have already been floated. Had some trees floated, and clicked on one while stacking desks under it for a different level...... arrrrrggghhh!
*unstack the desks*
*raise up the floor*
*restack the desks*
*refloat the $#@#%!! tree*

From what I understand, if you had moved the floating tree that you accidentally grabbed to the doorway where it cannot be placed and drop it there, it should go back to the spot where it was initially floated.

I haven't had a chance to try it out because I've been busy raising up a new character, but that is what I've read.

Good luck!

MCG~ Your crypt is awesome, and the trees are going to be a great finishing touch.

Vorac~ Insane! Gives me ideas for an arcane repel ball arena.

/em sighes

I really need to expand the base some more for all these great ideas!

Tried that. Didn't work.

I know it works when stacking/unstacking the desks, as long as the desk (or other item) in question is in a "supported" position to start with.

My tree had already been floated, so there were no desks underneath to support it's original position. Therefore, it automatically chose the nearest "available" surface... on the floor.

Had the same thing happen in the hangar over the weekend. Had to rebuild an entire area of it when I accidentally moved one of the top walls.

Latest creation, eh...well, it's hardly much of a much compared to that Coloseum (fantastic job there!), but what the hell:

Dr. Frankenbunny's Lab

Also known as 'My gratuitous retro monitor and Jabob's Ladder abuse'...really need to darken the lights in there, make it look more sp00ky, but already between the monitors and the double-row of Jacob's Ladders up top (hard to see in the image I know, it's more visible in person), the room's a little frightening I should've gotten a view of the opposite side, ah well...this is the room for what I've called our 'Twink fund' as well as the inspiration workbench. No less than EIGHT enhancement bins (you can see part of four of them in the pic), as well as the salvage vault and the aforementioned bench. We're a small group, I'm maximizing space where I can!

Had this happen to me last night, accidentally moved part of my second tier library walkway and where it was located I would have had to yank half the room out to repair it. Instead, I worked around it and created a nice little nook.

What I wouldn't give for an 'undo' button.

One thing I discovered, is that if you grab something by accident, and then realize said accident before you actually drop it, you can hit escape to "let go" without disturbing the item's original location (floating or otherwise).

Doesn't sound like that would have helped here, but it has saved my bacon a couple of times.
