Negative Prestige.

In an effort to speed the building of my SGs first Teleporter room, I traded roughly 30mil inf for prestige. Afterwards I built a TP room and ended with very little prestige in the positve (1000 or something). I logged in today and found that I have -7416 prestige.

How is that even possible?

Edit: That was after selling the AP beacon I had so I could put in a Brickstown one.

There's an old bug that does that. Usually it's fixed by logging off and then logging back in.

Yeah, it's just a display error (that the game responds to). You actually have your prestige, the game just needs to be ... nudged gently.

Throwing your wireless mouse aggressively at the hardwood floor is not recommended. *eyeballs global channel friend*

Besides the display error, the other possibility is if a member of your supergroup left and made you lose their bonus prestige, resulting in a negative number... but I guess if that were the case, you'd be a lot more negative than that. I go with the above. lol

Ah, didn't think of someone leaving, I deleted a character that was in the SG... dangit, now I need to come up with another 15000 or so prestige to get the teleporter working again.

Ok I'm confused. Do you need the 15k to buy a power/control source? Because a drop in prestige shouldn't cause a TP to stop working unless the base shuts down from not paying rent and your in the negative.

I think it is because he sold his beacon and now cannot afford to buy a new one.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

It's okay. I've made two very limited bases for alt SGs the past year and I know how tight it can get so I spot little details like that.

Not a great solution, but...

Transfer 8 million inf to the SG leader (or another character with both base edit and base upkeep rights) and buy 16K prestige. Yeah, it sucks.

Or get someone to help invite another of your alts to the group.

I've got a couple of alts that I still need to add, at least two of mine and at least one of my wifes. I'll have to do that sometime this weekend.

There used to be a comic with a player built city called 'Bacon of Hope'... cracked me up because people typo stuff like that all the time and never correct it in MMOs.

MMMmmm... bacon.

Run an ITF in supergroup mode. Should only take an hour-ish and should get you if not positive then darn close.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
