Social Group: Cross-Server Base Tours

I've recently created the Cross-Server Base Tours social group to promote regular (monthly?) base tours across the (NA) servers.

It'd be nice if we could set up a regular time and day to showcase a group of bases. Anyone interested is welcome to join the social group.

Should you successfully put this group together, we would be willing to host a Base Tour and social chat of our Base-Raid oriented, Tech theme base on Guardian.

Send an in-game /tell to @Doctor Vivian to work out the details.

Our Arcane/cult base on Freedom would be great. Famous for its sacraficial pit! @ The Great Rock

Anyone who uses the Infinity Based AE Anonymous Channel knows I'm ALWAYS trying to get base tours out. I love having people see my base, and god knows I spend 50% of my CoH time there.

As Tyrak said, just because it current says regular doesn't mean we need it to go regular right now.

The idea is, long-term, we arrange a regular day and time (for example, second Saturday of the month at noon pacific), and then decide if it's a sign-up sheet first-come, first-served (we can manage about 10 bases in a day, cross-server) or a server at a time (we can manage closer to 15 if they're all on the same server).

If we go all one server a month, then we can go Jan - November, and do a pickup list in December. Personally, I think the pickup list each month would work better, though.

Once we've got the Scoop running again, we'll be able to list the tour bases there, too.

I am all for this. My labyrinth is located on blueside, infinity. It requires flight to navigate. My global is @Bea

Ok. I'm signed up now. Like Viv I'm on Guardian and I'm usually on and I'd love to join this.

I would be interested in going on some base tours, and giving them. @SaraMC

Bump - Saturday, October 10th, Stacker will be giving a tour at 10pm eastern time. Makes this a good time to sign up!

There!

10 eastern in Galaxy, Freedom server then? Thanks

This will probably be too late for me. But maybe.. just maybe I'll be there.

tonight at 10 pm est freedom blue tours my bases

Fine tours, two hero bases and a villainous lair. Impressive as the pictures are, it's even better to see it in person. And we had people this time! Seven to start, though one had to leave and another I think had their computer killed by Stackers base. Worth the risk, say I. I didn't keep track of the time, but I believe we took a little over three hours altogether.

Afterward, I let Terra Shock and the inestimable Stacker into the scraps I've put together so far; they were reasonably impressed or at least kind enough to give that impression - and both offered some good ideas. So don't let your base being incomplete stop you from having people in if you have something worth showing... you might profit from it.

So who's next, and when is good for you? (Edit: I'm rooting for Fix R or MCG Warface, those being the first two who volunteered - aside from MrHassenpheffer, and I'd like a bit longer for the mental scars to fade before visiting his base again.)

A very wonderful tour and I think we were all left in awe! Appreciate your time and patience in puttin up with all our questions too. One of our group had to leave early and a couple of us didn't have space on the server for a tour of the other base, (post those pics Stacker, I wanna see the door), but we all had an enjoyable time. Look forward to the next one. Thanks again Stacker.

I feel horrible for missing this.
Next Time I'll have to put a post it on my dash.

Bah! That's not a tour group photo - that's a photo of the room that the group happened to be in. Here's a group photo!



Not with the scores, unfortunately, but you can see who's there. From the left, Terra someone-or-another, the awesomely amazing Very Visible Man (that's me), -Haz Mat (Stacker), Stone-something (I think, sorry I didn't pay a lot of attention to the name... feel free to post it or PM me and I can edit this), and I think it was StageFright for the lady.

I didn't take a picture of the door, but I'll create one post it here for you.

Edit: Here's the door.


It's made with the small arch from the arcane tab, six highback benches from the chairs tab, and the medium cable bundle from the wall details tab. I think it would look better using four benches and two chairs - the chairs have a nicer detail in the center panel, and it doesn't flicker as much that way. However, that nicer detail doesn't line up in the center of the arch (as the cable bundle doesn't, but more noticably), so maybe six benches was better. Not sure who to credit for it, I gather it wasn't one of Stackers. Whoever it is does deserve credit, he does very good work. His graveyard is top notch.

The door and the graveyard come from the mind of STARBORN. Thank you all for comming i had a blast showing you around and answering questions about the bases. Ok so who is next?

Poke! Come on, someone needs to step up with a base to show. Or at least a couple of people with some of a base to show. At this rate I'll be next and that's bad... I haven't had time to work on mine and it probably won't be ready until well after Thanksgiving.

Okay, I'll step up. Who wants to tour the Spring Knights base on tuesday next week (3 Nov) at 930p Eastern?

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Galaxy City on Virtue would be fine for assembling ... at the base portal entrance (obviously). Atlas Park is incredibly crowded on Virtue, so best to avoid that zone for people who are creating level 1 throwaway characters just for the tour because they don't have anyone on Virtue yet.
