Personal Bases and Shared Storage

Just a brief outline of an idea but, using the existing base tools et al, the opportunity to have a personal base purchasable with personal inf. Perhaps start off with a smaller plot, maybe 4x4 or even 3x3, with a starting room available of the same size that could hold the basic control and power item and some (shared) storage.

My thought there was you would have the same storage items as group bases (salvage, enhancements, inspirations, possibly with the addition of recipes) but they would tie to shared (account-wide) storage - if you had 2 salvage bins they would both show the same contents, so you couldn't get lots of storage of any particular type of item, similarly restricting the storage of recipes (lets face it, with mail attachments we can all share and store 20 recipes anyway so why not make it available as a neatly accessible bin?)

There would be larger plot sizes available of course, to allow the addition of teleporters and other fun stuff, all requiring additional control and power as in group bases, allowing a player to sink sizeable amounts of inf if they so choose for a larger and more functional base.

My thought at this stage is that these would be individual bases, i.e. you would need to buy a base for each character, and storage bins for each base to access the shared pool. On the one hand this might become quite tedious, on the other if there are decent low-end options covering access to each bin type (3x3 should comfortably accommodate the basics) then it shouldn't be too bad, allows each character to have a base suited to their theme and eats up more inf.

If it was implemented, in some basic fashion, and proved popular, then of course it has the added benefit of potentially making dev time spent on making new base items, decorative or otherwise, more viable as more people would be making use of them.

Anyway, my thought for the day - adieu.

I wouldn't be against personal bases, but I would make it a level 50 perk. The reason I say this is because before that, your still a Hero in training.

This would be cool, but we can already do this. If you create a base at level 10 and run in SG mode all the time by the time you get to 40 or so you have enough prestige to have several enhancement bins or salvage bins.

Once you do this on one character you can use global email to move things around to all your characters.

So, yeah, it would be nice, but the devs should work on new things before adding refinements to stuff we can already do.

Is this the 4th or 5th thread on this topic that's been posted this month? The search tool is your friend.

We can already put personal rooms in our SG bases. Why that's not good enough?

I like this idea, but seriously, I'd much rather have a global bank account that all of my characters can share from. I can drop all my influence, enhancements...etc..etc in the bank and grab it as I need it.

You can already do this ingame. However, you need another account or someone to help you to invite your alts to the SG. Created a bunch of useless villains to increase the number of people in my VG to get the prestige bonus.
