(and the 100K stays with the SG) Delete the toon... Make a new Praetorian and start the process all over again? Use this as a system to generate as much prestige as the SG wants? (not that it is really overpowering to have super huge bases, but I am not sure that is what the Devs want) Has idea been tested to prevent possible abuse of the system? x Jeremy M. |
Its far easier to farm prestige than to do it that way though
Should hardly be a high priority to stop that imo.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Since you can already simply buy Prestige with INF I don't think this will be an issue. At the current 500:1 INF/PRE ratio, it's only 50,000,000 INF to get the same amount of Prestige that a Praetorian adds.|

It's probably easier to get 50 million INF repeatedly and throw it at your SG than it is to repeatedly level a character to 20. There's longtime players and auctioneers with so many billions of INF to waste, this will not be an issue.
.... my only Praetorian to make it past 20 joined a friend's SG rather then my own "me and most of my alts" hobby SG.
Rats.
:P
Anyway, War Witch, can we hope for some base love in the near future?
HI WW,
Been playing since 9-27-05 but new to the forums so I hope I am posting in the correct area. I am the Leader/Founder of OMEGA SECTOR (Ranked #1 on Justice) and I love the game! You guys have done a great job with all the recent enhancements and I thank you.
I do however have some big concerns about the lack of attention that seems to be directed to SG's and bases however. It seems to me that people (customers) stay longer when part of a good, team oriented and active SG, though I have seen little improvement to this area over the pat 13 issues.
Bases seem to play very little part these days short of a CoP, mine is the biggest plot available but is essentially a citadel of dust as far as our players our concerned. There is little reason for them to enter with ouroborous and other personal teleport devices. The market and vaults allow storage of items and most things in the bases do not directly affect a certain toons on- line life, when it should be a place to come together for a purpose.
In addition I hope there are plans for SG leaders to create as many ranks as they would like and possibly make custom medals/badges for there SG mates. I understand such a system would most likely to be dictated by minimum requirments by the devs. I would also understand if the badges did not affect totals (on badge counts) much in the way SG badges do not.
I also would like to see alternative uses for "Banked Prestige" such as special costumes, custome weapons, or even recipes so we can help our SG members become the builds they would like to be.
I truly hope that you once again make SG's, their bases and their membership more important and much more relevant in game and follow the path of excellence that you brought in to Issue 19.
Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
OMEGA-001
Only real issue with this is getting people to help you with solo SGs. There are a lot of them out there.
Since you can't invite your own characters you have to beg, plead, bribe, or all of the above someone into helping you by joining your SG long enough to invite your characters. No one who is already IN a SG is likely to help you with this as they will lose their standing in their SG and have to get reinvited to it.
So that leaves people with no SG. Most just haven't found one yet, but now if they start in Praetoria (and understand the game) they won't be willing to help because they will be giving up their bonus prestige.
Personally I don't understand why we need the 100K thing at all. Just needlessly complicates things. I'd rather be able to invite my own characters to SG.
----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
Inviting one's own toons to a personal SG/VG would be awesome.
Also, demoting/promoting toons not online would be necessary as well (since you can't be on two characters at the same time from the same account).
+100000 to Auto-base-rent function
Make it an option in the Group Options screen!
+1 to this as there are just as many small groups as big ones that don't always have two players on at the time that someone makes a new toon. Some of us would like the option to have new toons in the group that gain prestige from day one.

If it doesn't already, this needs its own thread and a PM to me when it is created/found :-p
